The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-09-01

Mrs. Valera De Nude Kelsey, wife of
Frank c. Kelsey, now of Portland, Ore,
and formerly a well-known club woman
of Salt Lake, has a poem published in
the current number of the Woman's
Journal. which is so filed with the
glorious color of the month beginning
that it is reproduced complete.
A giant torch flames out across the land
A torch held high within a giant hand.
Who Is II striding in the smoky haze
And lighting all the trees, the grass, the
maize?
See how the flames leap up and all the
Burns in the air. How odorous the fire.
One moment stands he bowed and full
of woe,
Then catches up his torch and turns to
Within his arms a mistlike garment lies.
All nebulously white it softly flies
Iron the air behind. He passes slow
" I'm loren Gown dropping as the shad-
Afar on dimming slope he takes his way,
Bereayed and mateless toward the end
of day.
And slowly, as he treads the woodland
The .wraithlike shroud of summer flut-
tiers back
The summer girl is passing. The ad-
vent OF the present month will mean
the return to russell shoes and the tints
or autumn in more ways than one. The
HuffinesS and brightness of the white
season. which has reigned since the
end of May regardless of climatic condi-
tons viii be a thing of the past for a
snort time, and the tailored strictness
and brighter hues of a more advanced
age viii take the place of these signs
or summer time. Already the millinery
windows, those first harbingers of each
season, are showing their colors, and
only week or so remains before the
autumn millinery will be in full bloom.
With the opening of the theatrical
season society affairs viii begin to take
on more concrete form, and evenings
indoors viii again become popular. 1t
viii be good news to theatre patrons to
learn that two Of Ned Royle's plays
The Squaw Man" and Marrying
Mary" will be seen on the local boards
during the autumn season. Both are
in the hands of the best companies and
viii be features Of the winters enter
tafnment. In connection with the Royle
successes may be mentioned that of
Miss Florence Roberts, for some years
a favorite with western audiences, who
is to have the leading part in "The
Struggle Everlasting" Royle's new
play, which is to be put on in New York
next week.
One of the amusing things about new
engagements is the statement that the
friends of the two victims are invaria-
bly, glad to be surprised" at the out
come. The fact is when two people
have been making a quiet sneak to the
Country club to eat their dinners in
solitude and follow them with a stroll
in the moonlight, the onlookers would
be greatly surprised If there were no
announcements following. Such a
course would cause a real nine days
wonder. whereas a simple approaching
marriage" only makes a passing COM
ment
Another cause Of surprise is given be-
cause certain persons haven't happened
To read the press notices generously
nlaced at the disposal of the admiring
public. An engagement is announced
ana the probable date set for a mar
riage, and, 10, when the affair is con-
Summated the paper which failed to
have the news at the time announces
that friends win be surprised" etc, |
etc.

Kiss Marguerite Taylor and her sis
~Ar Helen returned Wednesday after
noon from Minneapolis, where they
have been visiting their uncle, J. Z.
NOrthrup, for the past ten weeks. Their
visit was made most delightful as a
part of the time they were members of
a house party of twenty-eight young
people at the summer home of Mr.. and
Mrs. LOngyear, Rose Farm, and
there received much social attention
rides, horseback rides, field
sports and private theatricals were all
included in the gay time there, and the
papers are most cordial in
their praises of Miss Taylor, who is a
popular Salt Lake girl.
