season had really arrived, and the re-
suit was a mild epidemic Of lawn
fetes, luncheons and lake parties.
A small coterie of younger society
found the gayeties infectious and de-
lighted their friends by furnishing the
most picturesque event of the early
summer season. Another pretty
gathering was the Alff lawn party and
OF parties and luncheons there was a
mildcase of whirlwind.
The lake will of course come Yin for
a large share of society's attention,
and with the opening of Garfield on the
first, the season at the inland brine
will take upon itself new life and VIM
Garfield has many attractions which
endear it to the heart Of those in the
social swim, and from the interest with
which the opening day is looked for
ward to- it begins TO appear as though
there would be quite a Garfield revival
For small and select gatherings Car
field is still the favorite haunt and
the memory OF quiet strolls along the
sandy beach and pavilion, combined
with the general quietude and pic
turesqueness Of the place, is still green
in the minds of Salt Lakes fashion
ables. Several parties are already be-
ing arranged for trips to this erst-
while favorite resort.
The carnival now looms up as the
star attraction for next week, if not
of the summer season. One of the
features that appeals strongly to So
ciety's fancy is the masking scene,
which will last from 5 in the after
noon until midnight of the Fourth of
July. Dominoes and masks are al
ready being prepared, and society ap-
parently intends to join in this part
of it with vim. Society pirouetting in
masks and dominoes, forsooth 1t will
be a sight for white winged audiences
and the gods. 1t will, beyond cavil, be
Il very pleasing entertainment; like
wise quite startling and extremely
novel one.
The event of the coming week will
be the carnival benefit at the Salt Lake
theatre Tuesday evening. Mr. and Mrs
Russell, Mr.. and Mrs. Royle and Mr.
Milton Lippman, all bearing high repu-
tations in the east as artists of pro-
minence, have, with the best amateur
talent of the city, donated their ser
vices for the benefit of the carnival
fund. A very fine programme has been
prepared and a crowded house will re-
suit. Society has already engaged most
of the stalls
Salt Lake is to have a new blue
book which viii be put forth the first
of next month. 1t includes Ogden So
ciety as well as that of Salt Lake, and
is geographically and otherwise a
model, a species of poem in blue It
has been compiled with extreme care,
and as a book of this kind is much
needed in Salt Lake, the new work
will no doubt be welcomed by So
ciety.
