The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-06-05

The brides and the sweet girl grad
yates divided the honors the past
week. The unusual number of wed
dings among Salt Lakes fashionables
was the all-absorbing topic of inter
est, and for the remainder of the
month it is promised that wedding
bells will ring almost daily.
The social side of life is still filled
with strong evidences of patriotism.
National colors still form the basis of
the decorations, and the more prosaic-
the gastronomic-side of social affairs
has succumbed to the patriotic con-
tagion. Such phrases as patriotic
luncheOns" and red, white and blue
teas are terms which, born of the
present conditions, give evidence of
strong sentiments, although coming
from the realm Of the butterflies of
fashion.
