Now. the New Year, reviving old de-
sireS,
The thoughtful soul to solitude re-
tires
There were very few thoughtful souls
in salt Lake on the last night of the
I'D year, but, of course, the lines held
GOOD before noon of the next day. The
drug stores did a rushing business in
sure cures for headaches. One sedate,
though youthful married pair. tell a
rather good story on themselves. They
ate freely Of hot mince pie on Thursday
evening. and sOberly retired to let 9th
ers extend the glad hand of welcome to

aches. for which there was apparently

line part of the family could reach the
idcphone he sent a ringing messag e
over the wires for something for d
abeastIy headache" The sympathetic
soul at the other end who knew him
well. gave a merry laugh and told Tim
later that he mad begun the steady call
which lasted all day.

more use than one would suppose at

in the game to note just how many
rings every other girl has in the begin

stones displayed-mOdestly. of course
at that Of last week, and before New
Years DAY every girl was wondering
about 1t. All eyes open for tomorrow.

before long. There are few among Salt
Lakes most solidiy Established fami-
lies who could receive a more cordial
or hearty welcome by their friends, old
and new.
Among the salt Lakers in the vicin-
ity Of the disaster at Messina were
Mrs J. l. Rawlins and her two dauCh-
ters, who were to leave Paris for Ma
pies IT Christmas time and spend part
Of the colder season in that climate.
They were. however. safe in Naples.
and have by this time doubtless gone
elsewhere.

The most interesting matrimonial an
nouncement Of the season so far is that
ri the engagement of Miss Mary Moore,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. George c.
Moore, to Jasper A. McCaskeIl. Al
though the date for the wedding has not
bsen set, it will probably be one of the
early February events-before Lent.
