The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-10-20

The welcome calm which has come
over society is being really appreciated
these days by all classes. unless it be
a few of the alleged butterflies who
find life dull even under ideal condi-
tions unless doing great deal or fiit-
ting The social season of the spring
and early summer. which lasted till
the advent of August, when 1t abated,
left everyone ready to rest and decide
things before beginning again such a
round of teas, luncheons and alleged
entertainments as was lived down last
year. Consequently everyone who can
is enjoying the relief. and in some in
stances at least is getting back to nor
NAL The long days are spent in
drives or motor rides in the country,
and many devotees of nature are seek
ing the outlying places for their real
enjoyment before they are obliged TO
turn To the indoor diversions of the
winter season.
There are two classes of people dis
cussing stocks these dayS-those VINO
have them and those who have not.
The former are fond of telling how poor
they are and recOunting the hard times
they are having with their d -minisheo
dividends The others-well, they are
i'm just the same old fix. Recently one
fair one was telling how it would take
all of one months dividends to pay for
her winter suit. Another, whose month
ly income is pretty well known, sighed
and placed her household expenses at
a price way in advance of the sum TO-
raj saying: Il just have to. keep the
household expenses down to that"
The news from San Francisco of the
coming nuptials of the pair in whom
Salt Lake is most interested is any
thing but welcome TO Salt Lakers. The
matter has been fairly well aired in
''The Wasp, but. of course, that's not
vouching for it, Developments are
awaited by numerous old friends here
before opinions as TO the probability of
the match are forthcoming. The ques-
ton of desirability is not open to dis
cuSsiOn at all.
French is the faddy thing just at
present. No less than fifty classes,
ranging I'm size from a half dozen to
a score. are TO be counted among the
younger women and girls. Whether one
plays bridge or not one must be able
TO say at least a few words in the po-
lite language, and some Of the more
diIigent ones have reached the stage
required.
A merry party of schoOlma ans,
guided and counseled by Mr.. and Mrs.
L. p. Judd, left town yesterday morn
ing for the west, intending to follow the
example of the children of Israel in
crossing over on dry land. Their des-
tination is Antelope island, and they
are provisioned for two days. 1t is
expected that the return trip will be
made this evening.
Many more of those rescue" parties
are planned, and the success of the
last (Which was an afternoon affair.",
has led the men to demand that they
be taken in with an evening soon. More
than one of the strikers at the local
boarding houses have that lean and
hungry look" No wonder the building
industry holds good with hungry men
clamoring for homes.

When the football team goes to Butte
the members will take with them many
messag es from certain girls of the
younger set, whose parents and guar
dams deem il quite out of the question
TO allow these boosters to go along.

And. speaking of Irish bulls, comes
this one: The subject was the price of
theatre tickets, and the fair one stated
that she had been where they had to
paw s. a seat for standing room.
