The Salt Lake Tribune devotes a
page to a list of the eligible bach
elors of the city and among the
most prominent has a former Abb
lene boy: "H. d. Landes-Hard
worker, good business man, chief
exercise dancing. requires entire
room. A white hope making good"
He was one Of the managers OF
big charity ball given last week and
the Tribune thus describes the cos
tunes of the ladies who are evident

York or any other village of the
effete east:
Most of those who attended an

rave the ball would Immediately
ecide to give another in the very
ear future, and would go to the !
