the Country club have evidently come
lar each week and are without doubt a
great boon to hOusekeepers at this sea-

whose physique would not indicate the

The wonder OF all who visit in Salt
Lake Is that there are not more

expressed for a revival Of the days
when the waters of the lake were put
TO other uses besides bathing
Two weddings Of especial interes-
took place during the week, both of the
brides being among the extremely

child-liize face and the graceful folds

for congratulations too Both Vida
Richards and Alex Goliath are con-
