OGDEN SOCIETY.


The past week was unusually favor
ed in social events. partly perhaps be-
cause of the advent of Lent and partly
because of unusual events by
various organizations. Mrs. Ag-
ler's afternoon and two delight

R. Swan stand out prominently,
while the Lincoln club exercises, the
Degree of Honor banquet and enter
tainment, together with the Knights
of Pythias' anniversary exercises, were
notable affairs of a more public char
acter.
One of the prettiest and most enjoy
able parties ever given to Ogden So
ciety was that of Mrs James Agler,
Thursday afternoon, to a few of her
most intimate friends. Those present
were; Mrs. T; Fitzgerald. Mrs. R. T.

Reynolds, Mrs. S. L. Brick, Mrs. r.
W. Ruffin, Mrs. w. H. Chevers, Mrs.
G. V. Schramm and Mrs. G. H. Mat

Three tables were brought into re-
QuiSitfon and much interest was man
ltested in the popular game, high five.
While apparently everyone was con-
genial and hospitable, still at the be-
ginning of each game something SEEM
ed to say deep down in each ones
heart Friendship ceases" and with a
lull in the usual chatter and merri-
ment, all went in to win the holly
contested points. When the time came
to count the TALES, which had so
uniquely been kept with small china
dolls, it was found that Mrs. Ryan
and Mrs. Reynolds had tied for the
capital prize. Partners were chosen
and the tie played off. Mrs. Reynolds
winning the handsome gold bon bon
basket. Mrs. CheVers won the BOBBY,
a handsome gold souvenir spoon.
Most delicious refreshments, con-
SlStlng OF salads, ices, etc, were served
on small quadrille tables, in the dain-
tleSt and prettieSt manner possible,
during which time the hostess accom-
phshed daughter Miss Maud, rendered
some beautiful selections of instru-
mental music.
That Mrs. Agler is a charming hos
tess was the unanimous verdict of the
guests.
Mrs. w. r. Swan ushered out the
pre-Lenten period by two notable So
cial events. The first was on Satur-

The next event was on Tuesday, and
for the entertainment of others among
her friends, Mrs. Swan had provided
something quite unique, though equally
enjoyable. An ingenious quotation game
was provided that caused no end of
enjoyment Over 100 quotations we're
provided and being cut in half were
concealed about the rooms. There were
pieces of quotations in every conceiv-
able and particularly in every incon-
ceivable place. The prize-a handsome
volume of Burns-Was offered to the
one who should find and put together
the greatest number of quotations.

had while the quotation matching was

Spaulding and Hannah Dee Mrs
Briggs and Miss Bigelow matched an
equal number of slips and in deciding
the tie Miss Bigelow was the lucky
one. The affair will be long remem-
bered as one of the most unique and
pleasant events in Ogden's society
"Better Than Gold" was rendered
twice during the week by the Home
Dramatic association-once at Mound
Fort and second time at the Fifth
ward institute. Most of the players
were members of the old Home Ora
matte company when it scored some
remarkable successes a few years ago.
H. II. Thomas as the younger son was
good, though perhaps a little weak
in the carousal scene. F. Y. Stanford
as the shrewd lawyer, and Thomas B.
Evans as the prodigal were likewise
good. H. H. Goddard as the absent
minded clerk, reiterated the express
sion Just like me" in a manner as

more ease and better stage presence.
The company is being urged to present
this or some other play in the near fu-

The K. P. anniversary, the celebra-
ton of the anniversary of the found

May Driver sang a Spanish selection
entitled "Bolero.' after which came
the address-if the confidential talk so
pleasantly given by Abbot R. Hey

sic Dean Allison sang two fine pieces
in her usual exquisite style, and was
followed by Charles Kent, who rem
dered 1.-The Cambria War Song" and

was encored.
