1 S The Salt Lake tbtsukbi Stxnkay Moknutg-. February 7. 1904. j I After a season which has been dull ! In the extreme, members of society I have apparently decided to make the most t the remaining time before : the Lenten season and accordingly have i arranged a scries of festivities which wjll make the next ten days gay indeed. On Tuesday evening will be given the last of the Assemblies before Lent; Thursday evening the University mem bers throw open their splendid club i house to their friends; Friday evening Miss Judge gives a German at the La dies' Literary clubhouse and on Sat urday evening a number of society peo ple will give an Informal dance at the same place. Tucaday evening, Febru ary 12th, Col. and Mrs. Holmes give a reception in honor of the oiricers and ladles of the post, which will no doubt ; . be one of the brilliant social events of 1 the season. And these larger affairs, with the many small and Informal onos which have been planned wll make a round of gayeties indeed for the smart set and make up In a measure for the many dull weeks of the winter. I University Club Exception, jj Naturally the greatest Interest of the 1 coming week will center around the first reception of the University club In ' their new home on East Temple street. ' 1 For months the friends of the members have watched the progress of the erec tion of the clubhouse and have waited with eager anticipations the nnnounce k . ment of their first reception. During the past week the invitations were ls , tnied and the reception has been one of the chief topics of Interest In society. , I Twenty of the most popular girls in 1 j I society have been Invited to assist in entertaining the more than -100 guests. 1 ' They are Miss Sherman. Miss Laura I Sherman, Miss Kinney, Miss Thorn, I Miss Webber, Miss Reld. Miss Mc 1 ' Grath, Miss Geddes, Miss Burke, Miss 1 , Judge, Miss Park. Miss Cecelia Sharp. J . Miss Miller, Mls?3 Marge Miller, Miss McMillan, Miss Gillespie, Miss June Mclntyre, Miss Elizabeth Mclntvre, Miss Zane, Miss Grace Emery. Mr. 7 Lyon, president of the club, with former presidents, will constitute the reception committee. Messrs. J. Walcott Thomp son, Hugh Satterleo and Grant Hamp ton have had charge of the arrange ments and no detail will be omitted that will in the slightest degree enhance the pleasure of the club's guests. Dinner at Amelia Palaco. All In red and green were the exqui site decorations at the dinner Thursday evening when Col. and Mrs. Holmes entertained a few friends at the Amelia Palaco. The most striking fea ture of the decorations was tho circular piece occupying the entire center of the large round table and extending to within a foot of tho edge. This center piece was made of deep red carnations on a bod of pluraosa and only those who saw It can appreciate He be'auty. There were rows und rows of the carnations, many hundreds being used, and tho ef fect was almost that of a solid wheel of the flowers. From the center of tho wheel rose a tall cut glass vase filled with the same flowers, and suspended from tho chandelier almost to tho flow ers were graceful loops of "broad sutln ribbons, the colors of red and green alternating. At the plates of the guests also were clusters of the deep red car nations; while the favors were beauti fully bound volumes of Milton and Scott. Covers were laid for twelve at this altogether charmingly appointed dinner. Dance nt L. L. C. One of the most thoroughly dollghtful of the season's dances was that of i Tuesday last when Albert F. Holden i entertained about 125 friends at the Ladles Literary club. Assisting Mr. I Holden In receiving his guests were ' Mrs. George K. Fischer, Miss Geddes, Miss Zane and Miss Thorn. Tho club house was made especially pretty for the occasion, pink and green prevailing In tho main hall, the reception hall and the dining-room, and rich Oriental hues in the smoking-room. The chandallers were covered with sprays of plumosa, thickly studded with pink carnations, the lamps being shaded in pink; pink azallas In flower stood In each win dow, while a tall bank of palms was ar ranged in front of the musicians' plat I form. In one corner of the dancing room was a beautiful Orlontal corner, and couches were arranged at Intervals around the room for the dancers. Punch was served In the reception hall upstairs from a table prettily decorated with smllax and pink ribbons, and ar ranged around the hall were palms and other potted plants. Rich Oriental rugs and draperies converted the large hall downstairs Into a most Inviting smok-j-room. and Just beyond was the dining-room, with Its numerous small re freshment tables. In the center of each table was a silver candelabrum with pink candles and shades, the base en circled with a wreath of smllax tied with bows of pink satin ribbon. In the 1 dining-room as well as in the main hall upstairs the electric lamps were shaded in pink, but In the smoking-room the lights were covered with deep red, har monizing with tho rich tone of tho fur nishings. Novel Luncheon for Visitor. One of tho most unique luncheons given in Salt Lake In somo tlmo was that of Wednesday last, when Mrs. Ellsworth Daggett Invited about twenty of the old-time friends of Mrs. J. W. Beatlo of Boise to meet her again. Covers embroidered in national flowers of four European countries. Russia, Norway, Germany and Ireland, were used on the four smoll tables at which the guests wero seated. Rod and yel low shaded candlesticks occupied tho contcr of each tablo and deep rod car nations wero used as favors. Tho place-cards wore postal cards from the four countries mentioned, and the ices represented tho national flower of each of these countries. The luncheon was altogether one of the mo3t charmingly appointed events of the week. Miss Eldredgo Gives Dance. Tho Eldredge home on East First ( South street was the scene of a most ( enjoyable dancing party on Thursday j evening, when sixty of the friends o I Miss Mamio Eldredge were entertained, j A bank of graceful palms mado an ef fective sotting for tho receiving party In the drawing-room, Miss Eldredge be ing assisted by Mrs. Reed Smoot, Mrs. Esther Collin, Mrs. W. J. Bateman, Mrs. B. R. Eldredge. Mrs. II. R. El dredge. Canvos covered tho floors of , the library and living-room and here to the strains of delightful music the hours glided swiftly away. In the large reception hall, where punch wan served from a prettily decorated table, many palms wero used. These plants were also much In evidence throughout tho house. Red was the only color seen In the dining-room, whero refreshments were served from a number of small tables. Carnations, ribbons and red shaded candelabra combined gave a most pleasing offect. Luncheon for Miss Noble. Very bride-like were the decorations at the charming luncheon of Thursday, when Mrs. John Woodward and Miss Judge entertained for MIbs Noble. Cov ers were laid for twelve at a tablo beautiful with green and white, an ob long piece of lilies of the valley occu pying the center of tho table, with a single crystal candlestick at cither end. Clusters of lilies of the valley were used as favors, and to the name cards were attached heartB painted In cuplds. Engineers Givo Ball. On Thursday evening the Engineering society of the University were hosts at one of the pleasantcst balls yet given at that Institution. More than 400 guests were there. Both the gymnasium and the museum hall wero used for the ac commodation of the dancers, each ef fectively arranged with palms and cosy corners; picks, shovels and surveyors' I NOVELTIES- THE BABY I YJ7N the temporal world the divine , 61 right of kings may be questioned j ' I jM and revolutions may overthrow 1 their supremacy, but in the do- mestic kingdom his majesty the i ( baby rules with an undisputed and 1 right royal sway. This small specimen of humanity seems Imbued with an all conquering will and a right of way J which brook no interference from the ' powers that be. His imperial highness, . although a wellspring of pleasure and power In the house, Js also a source of ' anxiety when provision for his welfare and comfort 13 concerned. ( Anything connected with the hy- glene or beautifying of this Important 1 personage Is of Interest to every moth er. A number of dainty and useful things ( have been appearing of late for the toilet of the baby. Every mother rec j ognlzes the fact or has had it im- I! pVcssed upon her by wise friends that loo much handling of a youngster Is . 1 ' bad, especially through the first few J months of his existence. '. How tp carry him about ordinarily I f! or when exhibiting him to admiring tj ; friend3 except in the arms is a serious proposition. ' The baby carriage meets this need i ( in the open air, but in the house the . cradle is the only place where he can safely rest and exercise his little mus- ;! ! 1 cles. This real need Id today filled by 1 a basket fashioned after' the receptacle I in whioh the small Moses was found by t Pharaoh's daughter. This "Moses bas- I ' ' ket" Is of natural willow, and some of L I ! ( the daintiest" models are trimmed with 'I t ruffles of chiffon or dotted net and up- l t; k bolstered with silk cushions. Wide rib k '1 . bons hung from the top of the hood to I H ' X the side of the basket are arranged in H 1 graceful, long loons and ends. "Pnlo j I'M j pink and light blue, needless to say, are ff ' the favorite colors employed in it3 flt- H IJij ! ting. This basket affords the means v El 1 Xor carrying the liny .member of the HI household about, but a stand comes Jjl with It which when attached to the 61 basket makes a comfortable crib at B SI , short notice.

Cover the basket In- 'lilf VlCl0 and Ut 'VTlth one sickness of wadding and then with colored silk or sateen Over this is placed the lace edged frill and furbelows of fine muslin generally used on a baslnctte and the ribbons, which are as necessary appar ently to baby's happy slumbers as they are to the pride of his admiring and de voted mother. The advantages of a crib of this kind are many. It may be lifted around without disturbing the baby's slumbers and io a convenient receptacle for packing the small ward robe in when going away from home and needs only to be covered with a waterproof mackintosh sheet and strapped to make it a neat trunk On arrival at one's destination when tho baby is tired arid cross and there is no $ O - O O 66 bed ready for him he can calmly re pose In his clothes basket while mother or nurse 13 attending to other things. This form of crib has another advan tage, that of belnr; particularly safe, for, resting on Its broad base, It Is in no danger of being upset by the other denizens of tho nursery or even by the occupant himself. Baby's dressing table has undergone a change recently, and Instead of the , broad, low hand basket or the two tiered standing affair, it now Jooks like J a three shelved sowing stand with an upstanding handle. This new piece of wicker furniture la more easily han dled and is moro capaclouB than any thing for the purpose wo have known lately. It Is light and therefore easier to carry from room to room than a wooden framed table. This novel chiffonier has each shelf fitted with a sacheted silk pad, and a rufllo of lace headed with a ribbon run instrument woro Btackcd around in unique fashion, whllo streamers of the school colors of crimson and sllvor com pleted tho decorations. A table draped In tho national colors occupied one cor ner of the museum hall, and hero de licious punch was served to tho dancers. Pretty Yellow Luncheon. A mass of bright yellow Jonquils formed the oblong centerpiece at the very prettily appointed luncheon in honor of Miss Mclntyro Friday after noon, Mrs. Ed Parsons being tho host ess. At either end of the centerpiece was a candlestick with candle and shado in the prevailing- color, yollow also shading tho electrio lamps of the ohondallcr, which was entwined with plumosa. Sprays of tho plumosa deco rated the candlstlcks and trnllcd over the cloth. Gibson heads beautifully done In water colors were found at tho I beading is sewed in long stitches around the edge of each layer or shelf. Ribbon bows are tied at tho support ing leys of the frame and on one side of the handle. All sorts of pretty accessories come to fill the needs of a baby's toilet. Es pecially attractive are the dainty sets consisting of brush, comb and .soap box made of white celluloid having hand painted sprays of forgetmenots on them. A round pincushion filled, If the purse admits, with different sized safe ty pins of gold or silver Is a convenient and handsome addition. To take the place of the gocart and perambulator so much in U3C there is a delightful new Invention called a car riage car. With one magic touch It can be transformed from a dainty and roomy baby carriage Into a victoria or baby car suitable for an older child. It io an ideal carriage of dark green enameled wood, with the perambulator handles and hood of sanitary leather cloth. It Is mounted on the easiest of leather hung steel springs and fitted I with the beat bicycle wheels with line 1 I plates of tho gucots, who numbered 1 eighteen. High School Danco. ' Nearly a hundred young pepplo en- I Joyed tho dancing party given by the 1 seniors- of tho high school at Unity hall Friday ovenlng. Tho school colors of red and black were most effectively used In tho decoration of the hall, which I3 one of the best-adapted In the city 1 for small dancing parties. A bank of palms, was arranged in front of the musicians' stand, and in ono corner of the room was a punch table draped In tho school colors of red and black. Mrs. Nelden, Mrs. Short, Mrs. Stephens and Mrs. Havcnor were the chaperones. Noblo-P.oblnson Wedding. On' Tuesday at high noon at the home of the bride's father, Wordcn P. Noble, will take placo the mirrlagc of MI35 spokes and rubber tires. The handle is in front of the carriage, and the per son who wheels the little coach has the baby immediately In view. Too springy a carriage is said to affect a child's nervous system, and the con stant swaying of a two wheeler wagon is not desirable. This now carriage has four wheels, two large ones In front and two smaller ones In the back, and an arrangement by which the cart may be brought to a standstill and locked. A caudle party Is often given when tho-baby is christened, at which gath ering the company drinks to the health, happiness and prosperity of the small stranger In a kind of warm beverage made from wine and ale mixed with bread, sugar, spices and sometimes eggs. A caudle cup and set of apostles' spoons are often the sponsor's gift to a child at this christening, but the usual I V2(N (RmuE-Cj0rKr y) looped handle, into which the infantile Baby's DIARY present is a silver pap bowl and spoon. The spoon is a cute little affair with a looped handle, into which the infantile thumb fits snugly. This loop may be flattened out when its day of service Is over. In the bowl of the spoon is en graved a nursery rhyme picture, .with the lettered text, for instance, "Tom, Tom, the plper'3 son," with a picture ol Tom running off with a pig under his arm. Still another quaint conceit is the "Baby Book." Children are studied nowadays from a psychological stand point, and it Is a question of scientific exactness whether the Infant wonder looked first out of his right or left eye or his Initial squeal came from the lungs or throat. Into this book of baby days are recorded all the phenomena of first performances. It may be a beau tiful booklet of tooled white suede or one covered with moire silk, and, if the baby's name admits of symbolic treat- Ida Noble and Lewis Cecil Robinson. Rev.

I Tho Cutlor Danco. I Mr. and Mrs. John C, Cutler and Miss Mabel Cutler were hosts at a most en joyable dancing party in tho Twentieth ward amusement hall last Wednesday ovonlng. when some 200 of their friends woro entertained. Pink and green woro . tho colors used In the decoration of the I hall and refreshment rooms. All the I chandeliers wero shaded In pink, and palms wero arranged ' about the hall.

It is very interesting to continue a story of thia kind well Into young manhood or young womanhood. One of the most sensible novelties for baby's accommodation is the creep ing blanket, a large, soft square rug having a plain, colored center and a border formed of familiar animals. This rug keeps the child off the drafty floor, and the animal pictures are a first lesson in zoology. The very latest diversion where there is a new baby Is the weighing party. This Is a weekly function to which the friends of the baby's parents are In vited. To make matters exciting u pool of 2C cents Is made to guess the loss or gain in ounces, but the money docs not go to the best guesscr. but to the Infant, who "keeps the change." Quite a little preparation Is necessary for this party. A weighing machine which Is a kind of cradlo on a spring pedestal Is to be provided and a tally sheet on which the weight of the child each week Is written. Novelties In the up to date baby's layette are wonderful and exquisite creations upon which the average mod ern mother dotes and pays an enor mous sum to possess. EDITH LAWRENCE. Concernlncr Onion. The experience of those who have tried the onion cure Is that It works wonders in restoring a cold racked svs tem to its normal state. An onion euro breakfast includes a poached egg on toast, three tablespoon fuls of fried onions and a cup of coffee. Luncheon of sandwiches made of brown bread, buttered and filled with finely chopped raw onions, seasonod with salt and pepper, makes the second meal on the schedule. For supper the onions may be fried as for breakfast and eaten with a chop and a baked potato The efficacy of onions Is well known to the singers of Italy and Spain, who eat them every day to imorove tho quality of their voices and keep them smooth. Onion plasters are prescribed to break up hard coughs. They are made of fried onions placed between two'pieces of old muslin. The plaster Is kept quite hot until the patient Is snugly In bed. when It Is placed on the chest, to stay over night. Onion sirup Is claimed by some to bo unequalcd as a cure for a bad cold in the chest. Making CiiKturds.
