u
Society, if it makes use of all its OPP
portunities. is now on the verge of
dizzy and nerve invigorating whirl. Up
to date the members of the fashionable
set have only been skirting around
the edges CT the gay season, and have
been a little more charry than usual
about taking the plunge. Now is the
time, with the approaching carnival
and other attractions looming up in
the vista, for the social magnates and
,nyrmidons to come to the fore, and
with the graceful facility for which it
is famous in all the woods around.
there is no doubt but what Salt Lake
society will rise TO the occasion. Which
rise will be like unto Minerva rising
cloud bedignmed in the woodland mists
till Appoilos lean forward to sprinkle
her hair with mauve and gold and
touch with the halo of the gods her
fairy features.
Meanwhile society has not been at all
lefnargic the past week. If there is
anything that can take the fashlon-
able ones out of their lymphatlc state
it is a rose crowned June wedding. one
of these was the chief and high pedes-
tailed event of last week, and by the
number and fashionable appearance OF
those who gathered at the Roundy
Game wedding casual observer woulc
have supposed that Salt Lake was
much larger and more thoroughly met
ropolitan town than in reality it IS
Likewise, there was the Dcwney
luncheon and the card party of Mr..
and Mrs. Fox, both of which agreeaoly
diverted the half-awakened fashion
ables. And still half has not yet been
told.
The younger set has been frolickine
an by itself. There have been COM
rnencement exercises till the memory
of man ceases 70 reach the end there
of, all OF which has made life sweet
tender dream to elder sisters and ma
mas.
To look al society in Salt Lake, now
that the fresh odors of spring have
not yet died away, and the red petals
of summer smile everywhere, make 4
one feel reminiscent. With the waxing
and waning of moons that have glim-
mered through the trees and over the
alkali of the great valley a change has
come over the spirit of society'e
dreams. Old things have passed away
and now it would be hard to find
society more completely metropolitan
in every respect than that which has
foregathered to the hiilsides Of Zion
where the snowy peaks gaze down and
smile upon them everlaStingly.
The approaching carnival has at
tracted attention aE over the country
and this Will be a good opportunity foq
the fashionables 81 Salt Lake to dis
tinguish themselves Many fasteners
who have been contemplating a visit
to Utah this year will arrange to make
their visit during the carnival gave
ties.
The lake season has taken on new
life with the advent of the hot weathes
the jump of spring into the bosom of
summer, so to speak. Small parties
were numerous all the week, and the
blue ether and sul-warmed brine are
prophecies of still more in the near fu-
lure. This is the most superb attrac-
ton in ali the land of long armed
pines and sky-kissing crags and Salt
Lakers are only just beginning to fully
appreciate it.
Also everyone had better look out
for the wheel. The scorcheTs are get
ting ready 70 do wonderful wonderful
things, and can still attract as many
amusement seekers as Of yore The
events are designed to be particularly
good and no doubt will succeed in fill
ing the grand stand and bleachers.
