TT would be difficult for city much
Il larger than Salt Lake to show
group Of young girls, debutantes, sub
debutantes and those little more ad"
vaDced, than that seen at the Lee
Charles Miller home last Wednesday
evening, at the vaudeville and dancing
party given for their daughter, Miss
Bonnie Miller. One might 60 through
the list from the young daughter Of the
house on and find not one girl who
would not have attracted attention
anywhere, while there were several who
are really famed beauties. Miss Miller
wore an exquisite dancing gown of
white, yelled in electric blue and
trimmed with lace and crystal, while
her mother was dressed in handsome
gown Of white satin charmeuse with
trimmings of lace and pearls. Many
Of the gowns were among the handsom-
est seen during the present season. The
Idea Of dividing the dancing men by
means Of bouttonierres for the red and
blue to match the lighting system was
novel one, and one which met with
general approval. It gave ample op-
portunity for the tete.a tete between
dances. which is frequently missed by
the rush Of one dance.
GAIT LAKE has always been famed
~ for the good looking girls who are
residents of the place. The story was
told some years ago Of Salt Lake
man, who was spending some time on
the coast. He was warm in his admir-
alton Of California women and admired
especially their dash and style. But |
he confded to a San Francisco friend
that they did not really possess the
beauty Of the Salt Lake girls. The |
San Francisco man was indignant, as
San FTanciscans are wont to be under
such circumstances. Just then thev saw
two particularly striking young wom-
en- approaching. "Now," said the Cal.
ifornia man, "look at those two beau
ties. You'd never see such looking
girls in Salt Lake" But before he
could finish he was astounded tn have
his companion rush up with the warm.
est kind of greeting, for the two bean. !
ties were friends and neighbors from
Salt Lake.
MI AJOR and Mrs. William S. Graves
4vA Of Fort Douglas entertained about
eighty friends, the people Of the parri.
son and some friends from town as
well, last evening at beautifully ap-
pointed reception at their quarters, to
meet Capt. Charles ". Exton and his
bride, who have Just arrived at the
post after honeymoon journey cover
ing the past two months. The nttrae.
i've home was gay with the greetings
OF friends all evening, and the sweet
strains of music furnished by the regi.
mental orchestra floated out to welcome
the company. The host and hostess, TO-
gether with Capt, and Mrs. Exton and
Capt. and Mrs. James NJ Petty, who
leave the regiment today, stood in the
parlor to receive their guests, while as
sisting them through the various rooms
were Mrs. DE Witt, Miss Ellen Maury
