The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-04-30

The week has been quite gay, each day
bringing its events, ana il was not ex-
pected either, as so many having left the
city it was natural TO suppose those left
behind would be quiet and perhaps dull.
The city was full of strangers Friday,
and their entertainment at the Knutsford
made a difference with more than one
social gathering that evening. The
stranger must not be neglected; conse-
queatly home affairs did suffer somewhat
in that The gatherings were not so large.
This, though, was not the case with affairs
that came OF before Friday. But all was
gay and festive and every one had a good
time.
Light plays an important part in color
effect. The change of many colors under
artificial light is often startling. Young
girls viii do well to note this. Evening
dresses should always be bought by gas
light. Put branch OF red and yellow
roses under the light and see the effect.
The stronger the light the more brilliant
the color, and again a strong light will
almost make the yellow in rose vanish.
A silver candle stick placed near cluster
will produce marked effect. Flowers
should never be massed SO closely as to
conceal their shape, neither should they
!. be scattered thickly over a table cloth, as
it is not good taste TO decorate a decora-
ton. and handsome damask beauties a
, table at all times by itself.
The latest in entertainments is, 'sThe
Fad Luncheon.'' It used to be called
EHobby.'' The usual mode Of procedure
is followed until all are seated at the
luncheon table, when the whole atten-
ton of each guest is conferred upon find
ing the fad of those present. Now we
know that all are loath to acknowledge
that we have any, and therefore it takes
some shreWd guessing to discover it.
When it is done the owner cOniesses, the
fad is honored with toast and everyone
wishes it success. The guest who dis
covers the greatest number is awarded q
favor. Much amusement can be had out
of it.
With such violent practice in the riding
Of the bicycle, one might readily suppose
every other man and woman were per-
.fecting themselves in the sport, intending
that mode OF conveyance 10 the Worlds
fair And why not? Mr.. Robert Bruce,
of New York, mounted his bicycle Mon
day morning last and set out for Chicago.
Then what will prevent all the fashion,
able world, both ladies and gentlemen,
from doing likewise? The girls are de-
termined to ride, and nothing can pre-
vent them, especially as there viii be
plenty of time TO learn, private intorma-
tion being to the effect that 1.-THE fair will
be ready to open about the time it closesl''
The latest news is that very few for
eigners will visit the Worlds fair, for
fear, it is said, OF cholera. 1t is really
not to be wondered at. Our country is
the easiest of all on earth to enter. and no
one knows this better than they who send
their idlers. paupers aud criminals to
these shores, but their exhibit will be in
every respect all their pride, wealth and
experience can make 1t, and Will save
trip across the water for many Ameri-
cans. in that visitors will see miniature
towns, cities and people without taking
the longer journey.
New York swelldom has found the
common road travelled by letters marked
with a 2-cent stamp ssquite too dreadful -
and they now use tie 10-cent special de-
livery stamps and have the fashionable
nissiyes sent in advance of the regular
delivery. No doubt the decree has gone
forth, though we are not yet in receipt of
it, that we must not breathe the breath of
life as 'every one'' up to date has done.
What genius will invent an apparatus to
generate aristocratic air which billion
aires alone can breathe9
A tea, given Monday afternoon, by
MRS. William A. Nelden, started the

charming time the guests had amidst
