social activity for the present sea-
son. Almost an the at home days
are already discontinued. and the great
bulk of the society folk are planning
how 10 spend the heated term. A num-
Der have. already gone to the coast,
which at this time ls the ravorite re-
treat and many more are shortly to
leave for camps i'm the mountains. No
extreme need of leaving the city for
the summer has been felt, but Of course
the custom of regarding the home place
as "hot' is to be followed, even at
the sacrifice of comfort ana convent
euce. Then, too, the receptions which
VIII hu the next few weeks win be
sufficient to prepare any one Tor long
rest.
It has been said that virtue is its
own reward but fl IS a sad truth that
vanity isn't even that. The sOrrowfuI
sequel 10 the recent visit of a noted
face specialist has been noted in nu-
merous and sundry reports Of the in-
gratitude of the specialist as shown
by the fact that in order to adver-
tise her business still further she has
shown i'm Ogden the photographs of
the victims i'm Zion. Adding insult 10
injury, she has also displayed checks
great in amount signed by feminine
hands I'm the fair city In which she
earned them OF course ogden doesn't
get the laugh on Salt Lake because
the Ogden women were so struck with
the marvellous results that they, too,
are willing to invest their money.

II Uncle Sam knew how he is in
terferiug with social functions here In
Salt Lake I believe he would look into
matters and ind the exact spot at
which the trouble exists. There have
been a number of invitations lost in
some uuacCOuutable way recently and
there is no end of ill-feeling and UNI
friendliuess existing I'm consequence
thereof. one woman received an lu-
vitation to am affair the day of the
party and a number of friends who
helped the hostess with envelopes, etc, /
knew that the bid was placed in the
rost0mee a week earlier.
II there were TO be real tea served
at any of the events OF the coming
week it would probably be enough TO
drown the fair maJrOns and maids who
viii attend. There are 10 be teas and
teas. Never has Salt Lake Deheld such /
am array OF teas crowded into one
short season as she is 10 attend dur |
ing the present time. There viii soon
De no day left without tea tin hide I
peudeuce Day, and the woman who /
does not have two to attend in one /
day may. consider herself sadly lacking /
or lucky.
Another fad which. it is hoped. has /
come To stay. is the idea OF having
sunlight when it can be obtained for
social affairs. Perhaps the extreme /
rarity of the sun I'm these spring DAYS
has been followed on several occasions /
lately. The receiving party at the /
WeiIs-Hempstead tea yesterday stood /
iu Che fun light. and the effect was Ger
tainly far better than is that Of a !
multiplicity of candles.
/
One of the prettiest sights at any
party of the present season was that /
of nearly q hundred little folks in the .
Keams ballroom Wednesday evening. /
III there is any real pleasure I'm tins /
dressing and entertaining. they surely F..
set it, and it isn't the artificial kind. q
either. The boys and girls who were /
entertained there were not an OF veal
thy families, but they were an made
TO feel that they We're there TO enjoy
themselves.
The Kirkpatrick family, every mem
Der of which has individual friends
among either old or young In salt
Lake, viii all be at the home ia San
Francisco during the summer. The
John Marshaus have already gone, and
Mrs. kirkpatrick is now expecting Mrs. F
ID. +. AcIand-HOOd and son, from New
Zealand, and Mrs, Warwick winston,
from Shanghai the Bessie and Flor
ence Kirkpatrick of a few years ago
who Were the bellies OF salt Lake So
ciety.
Fancy the way the men are learning
10 come out to teas, just as they do
ia England, "d0u't you know Why, I
last evening there were really enough
men to be counted. but then, who I
could wonder at that? Then, too, the
girls are enjoying the teas with a
touch Of black cloth among them so
much more than they did those ALI
ping affairs
one Of the gracious things of the
past week was done by a woman eff
wealth i'm the city. and the action was
not heralded either. eat the gradua-
ton OF the nurses from ST. Marks
hospital Wednesday evening, each of
the graduates received a half-dozen
American Beauties. and no one knew
from Whom the remembrance came,
7 notice candles without shades are
getting 10 be quite the fashion now.
Since there have been two or three
CONGREGATIONS iu which dainty hands
were married, to say the least. and a
few nerves were almost shattered. it
has been considered the part of wis
dom and good taste to discontinue !
their use.
Tt is a matter Of regret TO her friends
that Mrs Theodore A. Baldwin win /
not be able to remain in town till aft
er the reception Captain and Mrs
Woodward give 10 the TWenty-ninth.
Among the friends welcomed back
to the cit7 for lengthy visit is Mrs.
j. r. Folsom of san Francisco. whose
friends recall her as Agnes Shearmau. /
a belle OF former days.
