QUIET IN SOCIETY
A Week Marked by Many Small
Entertainments.
APRIL SHOWERS, JUNE FLOWERS
Musicals, Card Parties, Luncheons, Liter
airy Meetings and Receptions Engage
the Polite World.

the Polite World.
The old adage of april showers and
June flowers" leads us TO anticipate
feast of roses in that month. This, upon
reflection, somewhat compensates Tor the
disappointing clouds and rain that came up
SO suddenly on what we think is going to
be bright, clear day, and perhaps mars an
excursion TO the country for wild flowers,
or to view the first premonition of that
most pleasurable of all seasons-spring.
To a lover of flowers there is &C pleasanter
anticipation than that they, in their season,
viii be profuse and plenteous. When wild
flowers grow abundantly on the hillside,
and fields of daisies greet one on every
hand, all nature seems in harmony. The
birds sing more gaily, the odor OF the new
mown hay emits an added sweetness, and
the gracious gifts of God which are
bestowed upon US assert themselves more
forcibly even to the most unhappy soul.
There is something in the soft, sweet tones
of natures music or voice that appeals TO
the heart, and in response ones better self
NAV be transported to a happier sphere and
indulge in thoughts of chaste and tender
origin. Flowers come and go, and as their
lives are spent, we contemplate that 1t is
only transient leave they take and thus
do we console ourselves. Nothing affords
so much scope for offering pleasure or
paying a delicate compliment as does a
floral tribute. To those we love we convey
IN a bunch of their favorite flowers the
sweetest messages of that sentiment. To
the invalid friend a nosegay of fragrant
blossoms is q source of infinite meaning.
And then the last tribute, the last duty and
the last sad token of fond remem brance are
expressed by means of flowers as by no
other means.
The Home Dramatic has enjoyed q season
Of triumph. Not only were its audiences
large and appreciative but critical as well.
The club was unanimously praised for its
excellent work and the proficiency attained
by close attention, application and talent.
In this city, which contains a most art
loving population, amateurs as rule would
fail 10 interest, but the home company SC
far excels many leading travelling attrac-
tions that we now recognize it as an organ
lzation of high standing even when COM
pared with professionals. It is always q
welcome announcement when the appear
ance of the Home Dramatic is advertised.
Monday evening Mrs. Crawford, as 9
guest of the teachers and pupils of Rowland
Hall, gave a very pleasant musical pro
QramIne. She interspersed her recital with
conversation upon talent and genius, defln-
ing the difference between the two and
giving selections from Schubert, Schuman
and Mendelsshcn. Her comprehensive talk
and the delicate manner Of Interpretation
quite won all hearts.
A charming violet luncheon given BY
Mrs. VIII Nelden on Thursday was very
enjoyable affair. The spotless linen cloth
was decorated by q cen tire piece and doilies
OF damask deliberately embroidered in vio-
lets, and at each guests place, tied with
ribbons, was bunch of the same sweet
messengers of spring. The menu was
tastefully arranged and the courses served
consisted of choice edibles. For three
hours the ladies INDUCED in feasting and
social chat. The guests were Mesdames
Anderson, Bailey, Zane, Sherman, Vim
cent, Dart, Whiteman, Bailey and John
son.
The reception rendered ex-Gov LARA
bee and wife and daughter on Thursday
evening, was necessarily of very short
duration, as the guests left on the D. m
train. Gov. Larrabee was the last Repub
lican governor elected In Iowa, and at TIT
time had for his opponent that sterling ad
vocate Of Democracy, genial Judge An
derson.
Colonel Sells regrets that 1t was not DOS
sible TO have announced earlier the recep
ton SO that the guests might have greeted
ali Iowans on that occasion.
John T. White, reference TO whose grad
uation in New York appeared in yester
days HERALD, will start for home at once
He will, however, pause long enough a
Grand Rapids. Michigan, to catch up fai
daughter OF that town and transplant he
in Utah soil. The young lady who will b
his bride is Miss Dora Best, daughter of
prominent Grand Rapids physician. TIL
ceremony will occur on the 18th.
Mrs H. S. Krouse, wife of the professor
has issued invitations for select musical
Thursday afternoon next at her home, "a
