a NOVEL idea that is to be adopt
~ ed in one of the coast cities
for entertainments this season
might well be used by salt Lake socie-
ty.
1t is true that the persons who orig
mated this plan are wintering at one Of
the large resorts of southern California,
and have an abundance of both time
and money, but surely this need not in
terfere with the salt Lake smart set,
which is likewise amply provided with
lucre and leisure. Anyway the ques-
ton of time would not interfere, as the
events planned in the western city are
to be evening affairs, when both men
and women are at leisure. 1t all came
about in q talk concerning new plans
for entertainment and all of the late
schemes of gay PareC," and the social
centers of the east were given over in
the hope of finding some pleasing way
of passing the long winter evenings.
Finally she of the intrepid spirit
spake boldly to those assembled, ask
ing why always borrow some plan de-
vised by our eastern cousins or those
on the continent Can nothing new
originate in the west. that country in
which civilization itself is newer than
in any part of the United States?'
And, with one accord, they all fell to
dreaming Dreams that were all to be
their very own. and the plan for a
Colonial club was the result. The word
COnOlial itself, bespeass an Olden time,
it is true, but one must remember that
there is nothing new under the sun,
and so newness really means only the
first revival of old ideas.
The old colonial costumes are to be
reived, and anything Jhsc savors of the
present day is tab0Jd. First come the
costumes. and for both men and women
the Old colonial style OF dress is to be in
order. II is said that certain maidens
are already fearful that their hearts
will no longer be adamantine against
the pleadings of various youths, when
the sombre evening clJCnfug SO long in
vogue for men is desicraded in favor of
the powdered wigs. the satin suits and
the big buCkled shoes that made the
colonial gentleman so picturesque. 1t
Is rumOred that even the Staid old
bachelors are acknowledging that they
no longer hope TO Withstand the
charms Of the maidens therea bouts
when they appear in the quaint cos
tunes of the early days.
The form of entertainment is also to
ring true to the name of the club and
to be purely colonial in character. For
feits and other colonial games will be
played. The minuet viii be revived and
the gay young folks viii weave through
the maZes of the Virginia reel
Nor are the guests to be Whisked to
and from the parties i'm the swift autos
that have been SO long considered the
smart mode of conveyance. My lady"
will ride to the club meetings in the
old-fashiOned coach and four, with pow
dered fOOtman To assist her from the
carriage.
But best of all is the going back to
the COuTtly manners of those early
times when every man was a knight
errant To his lady fair. and there was d
delightful chivalry that appeals strong
~ to the fair sex of the later day when
i'm the mad rush of progress time Is
seldom found for even the ordinary
COuTteSies of life.
