The gayties OF the fall season have not
yet begun. Several small luncheons were
given this week and few lake parties, but
strictly social functions are conspicuous
for their absence. That the question of
how to provide for the poor of the city is
engrossing attention Just now is proven
BY the several plans for charitable move
ments on the tapis
No city has brighter, nobler or more
beautiful women than ours.
There is prima facie evidence of their
beauty. No sane man would contest that
point.
There can be no question as to their
cleVerneSs. They are accomplished. They
mite the refinement Of their eastern SIS
ters with the strength and self reliance
absorbed from the very atmosphere of the
west.
That they are truly noble is shown by
the fact that society columns are ''dull
readings at present. The butterfly has
become the working, or at least the saw
ing bee. Wives and daughters are prov
ing that, instead of living for society, 1t
is a small factor in their lives after all. In
these times OF financial depression they
are bravely and cheerfully renouncing
sacial functions, or making them very
simple affairs.
But they are not assuming the airs of
martyrs. They even wax irRte on the
subject of "goldbugs'' at times. In
deed, they are quite human enough to be
charming.
sCreatures not TOO bright and good for
human nature daily food"
The Young Ladies' Aid society is max
ing extensive preparations for series OF
entertainments to be given at Saltair the
latter part of this week

themselves To be most efficient in that line

by the charming young ladies who preside
over them. Miss Observation-Disclosures and
assistants will preside over the chafing
dish booth. Miss Luacine Hoge and Miss
Aft will have charge of the candy booth.
Miss Hardness OF the hot and cold drink
booth, Mrs. Margaret Zane Witcher OF
the ice cream and cake booth. Misses
Grace Young and Emily Katz will dispell
the darkness hanging over the future Of
everyone for a consideration.
The young ladies have laudable pur-
pose in view, that of contributing to
fund for the aid of the poor in our city,
and their efforts should be rewarded by
generous patronage.
We prophecy success for the venture.
