SOCIETY

In the post hop room last evening
the bachelor officers of the regiment en-
tertained their friends in brilliant style.
The hall presented a gay scene from
early evening till long past midnight,
with the beautiful gowns Of the ladies
and the full dress uniforms of the Off
GERS contrasting with the conventional
evening suits of the men from town.
The hall had been fairly transformed
in its appearance. and the usual bare
walls were hung with all the handsome
trophies of the regiment. and there are
many. Handsome Japanese draperies,
treasures gathered in their trips TO the
Orient, and various trophies were all
displayed to the admiration of their
guests The regimental coiors were
massed at one end of the hall, and over
the receiving party hung an immense
flag
The guests were received by Mrs.
Walter Scott, Mrs. J. NJ. Arrasmith and
Mrs. w. E. Purviance. At the favor
table Mrs. Andrew 5. Rowan and Mrs.
Arthur Williams presided, and the IA
vors were not only the most unique but
among the handsOmest ever used at a
local affair.
The grand march was led by Colonel
and Mrs. Scott, and beautifully ex-
ecuted figure completed this feature
when the archway made by the adj
kvancing couples was formed of the
swords of the officers and curiously
wrought canes for the civilians The
figures in the cotillion were all designed
by Lieutenant E. B. Carey, who led the
dance. The first figure was a driving
figure, when the favors were whips and
caps. Other figures were contest of
grace. Maypole dance, a double
hearted figure, a dice figure. a Virginia
reel a curtain figure, a wheel figure and
an intricate cap figure. The favors
were many Of them Of the Thanksgiving
kind, but military trinkets handsomely
mounted. swagger sticks. handsome
pins, grace hoops, bows of military col
ors were included in the list.
Late in the evening a supper was
served from small tables which were
brought into the dance hall, many mer-
~ parties with their trophies of the
dance being formed to enjoy the supper
together The bachelors were warmly
congratulated on their skill as hosts,
and on the success of the affair in every
way.
Mrs. John J. Daily and Miss Daily re-
ceived yesterday at a large afternoon
tea. when some 200 of their friends were
entertained. The Daily home on Brig
ham street was bright with flowers, and
cheerful light and fires made contrast
| to the winter weather without. In the
parlors tall yellow chrysanthemums in
vases decorated the room, while deep
red carnations made a warm color in
the library. Pink chrysanthemums were
used in the dining room. and pink can
dies in candelabra shaded in the same
colors lighted the tea table. Here Mrs
] Enos A. Wall and Mrs. s. H. Pinker-
/ ton poured. while Miss Selma Wall and
Mrs J. j. Campbell served punch in the
/ library. Mrs. T. Roy Brown and Mrs
John c. Daily also assisted An orches-
ira on the upper landing furnished mu-
sic all afternoon.

tertained nearly 100 last evening at a

/ ing eve custom. The rooms were deco

palms and ferns an orchestra was seat
! ed at the upper end of the room. and a

season. being in the form and color Of

Thanksgiving day will be quietly
spent in Salt Lake. partly because that
is the custom and partly owing to the
inclement weather. which has interfered
seriously with the outdoor plans for
spending the day. Innumerable home
dinners with an extra plate or two for
the stranger within the gates will be the
rule. but for the most part society will
be represented only in that way.
