Society CominGs and Goings.
The week has been remarkably gay con-
sidering it is midsummer. But salt
Lake is especially favored at this season,
for while in all cities the weather of even
ings, as well as afternoons, is entirely too
warm, there are the lawns which are cool
and delightful, and consequently dancing
is a pleasure. There have been lake
parties, at both resorts, lawn fetes, after
noon receptions and circus parties.
1t may not be 'ssociety'' subject, but
the prevention and treatment of sunburn,
or sunbrown, as some prefer to call 1t,
are matters of quite as much interest to
the readers of these columns as some
things that are regularly looked for IN
them. One thing our bellies ought to
know is exposure to The direct rays o. the
sun is not the only thing that makes the
burn. 1t is the combined effect of glsr-
ing light. heat and wind. These are
heightened by the proximity OF water, SO
that our lake bathers, or those who look
on, need not expect TO escape altogether
by shading themselves. Before going
out, the lace should be rubbed well with
cold cream followed lightly with silk
rag and then with starch powder.
Wipe that off, and there you are. Re
turning. wash with milk-warm water
and CASTLE soap, finishing with cold
wa er. If, however, the precautions
given have not been observed, here is a
simple remedy which has been used with
excellent results: Mix II drachms OF
eIderhower water with 6 drachms each
of common soda and powdered borax.
Battle the lace gently with tepid water on
coming "a from the hot sunshine; dry 1t
carefuIg with soft towel, saturate a
liren cloth with the mixture and pat
it on the face and hands.
ga Lemon Luncheon is the latest and
most brilliant of entertainments; moth
ing could be brighter, nor more appetite
ing than profuse display of this fruit
upon the table. One of recent date IN
Philadelphia is described by the Inquirer
as having enlisted the admiration Of
every guest. All the decorations carried
out lemon tints, and the dishes, besides
being all as nearly as possible lemon
hued. were garnished with thin slices o.
the fruit. A natural lemon tree graced
the centre of the table, and the corners Of
the lemon satin cloth were caught up by
one or two handsome specimens. AT IN
