POSSESSES of Il week or 50, ago is telling
good story ON herself and her Sc

Many OF the city people fled TO the
hills and canyons yesterday. or got an
early start and left the night before

Those who sought a cool retreat in The
afternoon went out to the Country club,

the finals in the tennis. tournament
The social committee OF the club. head

Tea and punch on the. lawn. A buffet

If that much talked of directoire
gown gave no more trouble to the
meek, lowly and modest men than it
does 10 the women, there would be HIT
tie to talk about In. that lne. The stay
at-home folk who failed 10 see the Gre
alton" are wondering what fearful
thing it could have been that il was
not fit for a certain Salt Lake cafe
after the sights that, have been seen
there. Wouldn't it be a good thing for
the men TO learn 20 wear a green shade
over their eyes, or something to. keep
their tender sensibilities from being af-

The tennis tournament has claimed
the attention of good many of the
men during the. past week. but too
many of the women lost interest as
soon as their own matches We're fin
ished to make things. really lively. The
attendance some days has been so light
that one might forget there was a
tournament The warm weather may
have had something 10 do with the con-
dition. but the, mornings We're always
favorable to-the game.
Never has the exodus to the canyons
and mountain resorts been so late as
this year. and never has the society
craze had such a phenomenal run for
so many weeks together. The pace set
during the past week has been almost
beyond endurance even by the hard
ened devotees. The week just opening
promises slight relaxation in the mat
ter of teas and such affairs, with more
in the way of. simpler outdoor enter
tanning.
Who said engagements2 They're just
as scarce these days as the poor dogs
We're yesterday on the noisy streets.
There's not an eng2 cement nor even a
rumor of one for these weeks. and my
what a rest poor little Hymen will get
till the autumn batch is ripe.

Tennis has taken hold of Some of the
would-be devotees just as If ii were a
fad. Such strenuous hours as have
been Luts into the work OF Tearing 70
play would appeal 10 many a laboring
man. And the consequence is. a set OF
stiff muscles and a dissemination TO GO
further than the beginning.
