Lent has never been so strictly OBJ
served by the gay set as it has this
year, the past week seeing the first
signs of gaiety since Ash Wednesday.
Several Lenten teas and luncheons
Were given during the week, while the
Masonic reception and the Gene Field
evening at the Mccormick mansion
were the largest of the weeks happen
ings.
With the Ginning of Easter bells, the
prospects for gay spring season is
very bright; already the Alta club re-
ception, ST. Marks charity ball and
one other large dancing party, with
innumerable small affairs are on the
tapis with the promise of enough other
gatherings to keep the gay world busy
until the lake season opens.

the World, and Mr.. Hurst, the million

great value to his new venture and
secured them. A recent issue of the
Fourth Estate contains the following
tribute to the lady:

Mrs. Sarah Rogers Sloan, who had
won distinction not only for her clever
hess as a reporter but by her talents
in the Sunday department of the
World, is the latest recruit on the
Journal
Her popularity on the World was not
only due to her fair southern face. but
sprang from the admiration of those
who saw in her one clever, charming
and hard working. From riding on the
front of a trolley car during the
Brooklyn strikes, through crowds of
angered men and women, to plodding
over the details of the womans de-
partment, and doing her work always
we'll, she ranged through the various
duties Of a reporter.
OF gentle birth and training, she
proved herself one of the true blue
and the regret at her leaving the
World has been but equalled by the re-
joicing of old friends transplanted at
her entering the Journalistic camp of
the Journal"
Mrs. Sloanes many friends and adj
nlirers in Salt Lake will rejoice at her
success, which cannot be greater than
her deserts.
