A kirmess will be given by the Ladies'
Literary club, assisted by many other
ladies Of Salt Lake city, for the benefit of
the public library, during the second week
in May in the exposition building.
The kirmess, which is a fair held in Rus
STA and eastern Europe, consists of booths
expressive of various nationalities. The oc-
cupants will be in costume, will exhibit
wares and novelties of their respective
countries, and thereby give to visitors a
glimpse of life in those countries. The
Russian, Spanish tincluding the Gypsy
camp, the Holland, the Japanese and Ital-
ian booths will form in contrast most
striking and brilliant scene; while the Gre
clan booth, in its classic beauty. the Flower
Queen in her bower of loneliness, and the
literary booth, with its quaint and inter
esting collection, will charm the eye and
feast the soul. The pioneer booth will
bring back many a memory, dear to the
hearts of the old settlers, and over all
Uncle Sam, with his Goddess of Liberty,
will extend that hospitality for which he is
famous.
Every evening q grand march in costume
will take place at S o'clock, followed by a
national dance, led by the booths especially
in charge. The floor will then be open to
visitors for general dancing, and good
music will be provided.
The ladies hope TO be able to add to this
programme many novel features which
cannot now be fully explained
They feel that they have right to appeal
TO the heart and intelligence of every in
1nrk-T 1T hi liz hob, So Ii
mess as means of repleting the shelves of
the public library with the publications
which it SO much needs.
The society world is intensely interested,
and much enthusiasm is engendered by the
declaration Of the coming kirmess. Prof
Younger will instruct the several corps Of
dancers in the respective national dances.
II Is indeed worthy OF note that no foreign
element is necessary to make this perfect
success. On other occasions when
this exhibition has been undertaken
talent was imported for It's perfect rendi-
ton. We congratulate ourselves that it is
possible TO find every needful accessory for
this most creditabIe performance within
our own portals.
The Krouse musicale fulfilled the antici-
pations of the invited guests, and most
delightful rendition of the select musical
programme still affords a pleasurable
theme for discussion.
The card party of Mrs. James Lowe was
q very recherche affair. The prizes were
both handsome and appropriate. The
happy com bination of cards, refreshments
and dancing was sufficiently varied to suit
all tastes. There were present about fifty
guests, who were pleasantly entertained
until the early morning hOUrS
On Friday night Mrs Niles and her
guest, Mrs. Merriam, planned a pleasant
surprise for the doctor, inviting number
of friends for the evening and greeting
him upon his advent upon call of urgent
need of him at home" with host of guests
20 celebrate his birthday. He was for once
totally at loss how to express himself,
only a moment though, and as usual
grasped the situation and did the donors
with ease and was soon the life of the
party. He may be twenty four or thirty
four, but he is too modest to tell. May he
live long TO celebrate many more birthdays
and always under the hsppiest auspices.
Cards and refreshments RECALLED the
guests until late hour, when Mesdames
Niles and Merriam scored one against
mans faculty for finding out things.
