SONS, we wonder where all the bees are;
and are sorry, too, for the wanderers from
home that they miss all this loneliness.
From almost any of the surrounding
heights panorama of loneliness stretches
out to the admiring eye. The valley,
mountains, the lake with its new and
wonderful Saltair resort, are distinctly
visible. Where in our world can so MUCK
be found put thus closely together? A
bath in the sea of morning and a climb
up the mountain in the afternoonl The
city is full of visitors. ana all enjoying
themselves.
As the Lake season has come, we think
of the long lists of published departures,
and instantly comes the thought how few
are left to enjoy the greatest pleasure of
Salt Lake; but a peep into the charmed
lotteries gathered at receptions at once
convinces US that all are not gone, for the
world is big and full OF people, and our
beautiful western city can hold up her
head proudly as she views the big crowds
daily returning from our inland ocean.
Nowhere IN the world are the mountains,
the beach and salt bathing just under the
eye, as they are here.
Thursday, the opening OF Saltair, the
new lake resort, occurred, and it was the
day of all days for it. Five thousand
people took advantage of it and all re-
turned full OF wonder and deligh at the
beauty and immensely OF the result there

Nern Hardey, and delightful time is
already assured.
New York's 400 have attempted to
sheer at Commander Davis, who was de-
tailed as President Cleveland's repre-
sentative in doing honors to Princess
Enlalier and Prince Antonio. The ar
rangements at the metropolis were in the
hands of z committee of 100, headed by the
mayor, and were sensible and practical.
Snobbery tried TO over ride these in order
that the princess might be the subject of
private hospitality, but. Commander
Davis shut out even the suggestion OF
them. He was genteel, but firm. He
annou aced that in this matter New York
society was nothing to him. He was not
a member CT it, had no relation with it,
he said. nor did he have any desire to
have any connection with it whatever.
The princess, he said, was not travelling
to amuse society, but as the nations
guest. Among his causes of offense was
his refusal TO allow the infanta to be taken
10 the ball in a private carriage, but as
this refusal received the lady's sanction
the row IL created reflected chiefly on
others. Thus far. and ii will probably be
the case throughout the royal party's
stay IN this country, the Inequalities ac-
cepted by them are wholly official.
The latest fad is the monogram peach,
and now is the time TO get ready for a
later display of it on luncheon and din
ner tables.
The monogram is cut in paper and then
pasted on the peach, when the sun does
the rest by coloring the design deeper
tint than that which surrounds it. II is
some trouble, but is is unique and there
fore worth the pains. Pears and the large
purple plum may be treated likewise.
strawberry teas,'' are the new form
of social diversion. Strawberries of great
est perfection are the principal feature.
The pretty pointed leaves and the trailing
vines make lovely decorative effects.
Raspberry teas, - cherry, peach, and
later, tgrape teas viii rage. Grapes,
In all their variety, Gun be made TO pro-
duce charming results. Then the advan-
tage of these s'fruit teas'' is they cannot
become tiresome, as their stay Is SO short.
The hop given at Fort Douglas Thurs
day evening, by Mrs. Theophilus W.
Morrison, proved a pronounced success.
The occasion was in honor OF her guest
and niece, Miss Florence Coffman, of In
dianapoHs, and Miss Palmer, also. Up
on the music much depends, and certainly
that on Thursday evening was alIuring,
wooing willing feet to the delights of a
dance upon the highly polished floor.
The room was bright with innumerable
lights and gorgeous with crossed
flags, which beautifed and adorned
the walls. The bunting started
from the center. falling into
Guns stacked, formed picturesque and
defensive looking groups at either side of
the stage. which had been converted Into
q Injurious retreat by the artistic taste
aud touch of the entertainers. The
prettiiy gowned girls made lovely pictures
as after leaving the dance they sat here
TO rest in the subdued light OF jeweled
lamps.

delightful graciousness. She wore a
rich black silk. black lace and diamonds.

La France gave an extra finish to the
corsage: gloves and slippers to match;
pink wings of ribbon were worn on the
head.
Miss Ruth Stevenson's chic gown of
brocsded corn colored silk fitted her

and running up over the shoulders in
