rHE STRENUOUS entertaining Of
the past week has thrown more
than one OF the most popular ma
irons into retirement. The affairs have
been so constant and so rushed th41
many OF the honored guests had barely
time between events TO 60 from one
place 10 another. Many OF the most
beautiful and By far the most enjoy
able affairs of many months have been
TO "a certain extent spoiled by this rush
ms No doubt &c is because the city is
really at IT'S best at this season that
women VIII overdo the social part, but
IL seems a pity thar social activity
cannot be spread over d greater portion
of the year and thus made all the more
appreciated.
Everything iu the line of out door
dress shows the renaissance of tennis.
Correct shoes FOR tennis, correct hats
Tor tennis, correct gloves for tennis,
and correct appointments of an kinds
are the only things shown iu the men 8
fashions for the present time. The re-
Vival has struck salt Lake, too and
the haberdashers are beginning to lay
in a supply OF the suitable things.
Shortly we shall see the resuscitated
tennis player iu his white flannel and
soft hat, and how he win vie with the
summer girls!
An effort VIII doubtless be made 90
change the 4 o'clock tea of Saturday
afternoons at the Country club to the
evening hour. aud have the tea or an
equivalent. after dinner when people
are rested frOm the strenuous exercise
of the afternoon. The 4 o'clock tea
habit has never become Indigenous TO
the American SOIL so TO speak, and the
people who really enjoy cup Of some
thing at that hour during the extreme
season are few. In England, the land
OF tea. the mild climate and the diff
ference in customs make the tea &C
ceptabIe.
The past week has proven the fallacy
OF the popular notion that teas are all
alike. Every day ina the week has wit
messed new ideas admirably executed
and the most original and artistic de-
signs ever seen In the city have been
carried out En- the line Of decorations.
This was not due to the numbers Of
florists. either. but TO the Individuality
of the hostesses. who were able to rec
ognize the possibilities of the garden
and field flowers. lit has been re-
marked that never were the wild flow
ers used so extensively before in the
city. and that the effect after a winter
of dollhouse beauty has been most re-
freshing.
The main event in society at the
present moment Is the reception and
dance to be given at the post han to-
morrow night al which Captain ana
Mrs. John b. Woodward wiz entertain
for the officers and ladies of the new
regiment. The event IS looked forward
to with considerable Of a fUtter, and
as the post people have already Gre
ated a most favorable impression on
the toWnf0lk who have met them, no
doubt 10 viii be bat the beginning Of
many COuTtesies for them.
The latest society craze in Paris is
the making of bandages. Gatherings
have been held at the homes Of the So
ciaI leaders, and while the Fair fingers
roll bandages under the direction or
trained nurses. some well infOrmel
member reads aloud. Perhaps i'm this
age the method seems rather primitive,
but the fad is being taken up I'm New
York as well, and The products Of sew
eral such meetings have been forward
ed 10 the hospitals at the seat of war.
The lack of bachelors i'm the new regi-
meut IS already keenly resented by the
girls of the city, but the young men
Of town are feeling much sorrow over
the fact that not AN army girl is to be
found in the whole garrison. The broad
veraudas on the homes, the cosy little
places around the club. and the long
walk from the circle to the hall viii all
have 20 be shared I'm the same old way
There's nothing new under the o. S.
government.
What has become of the riding club
Time was when we were 10 hear Of
wonderful d0ings OF the new organ
izati0u. and now at the first of the
summer days the club seems 90 be "a
thing OF the past. True. one or two
or the young people are 20 be seen, but
surely that doesn't constitute a c-uo
Another one of salt Lakes bellies of
former times IS visiting in the city.
Mrs Walter Lewis Of Butte, who was
Miss DoIhe Walker. is "a guest of her

ing her stay here, and many are the
warm greetings she has already re-
ceived from old friends.
There is a certain beauty wearing an
immense diamond ring on her finger,
and people are wondering when the af-
fair Is 10 be announced. IL has been fin
evidence so long that the young pair
can't surprise their friends now If they

that of the private boarding house is
probably the most trying ON the quail
