OOODWIN'S WEEKLY 9 I Saunterings Society IS SOCIETY on its laat sillMtock Inged legs for the summer, or is it merely suffering from that ennui it falls into ahout this time of year when the call of tho canyons and the sea gets into its blue and near-blue blood and makes it sluggish unless the call can be prompty answered? Except for a few lukewarm teas, and the like, indoor sports appear to be on the toboggan, and the cry is for air and 'more air, cold water and frozen drinks, and why not? Who wants to stuff oneself in a lot of fussy clothes JL and wilt one's fair life away when j the motors are waiting and tho streams are alive with trout? A poor boob or a bulky dowager perhaps, but no one else who has a drop or two of red blood intermixed with tho blue. The youngsters and some others old enough to quit are still daring old Humidity at the Country club on Sat urday nights when life consists of one grand perspiring turkey-trot but that is the only time that any real energy comes to tho surface of those who are remaining in town. It is only another month until fall though, when the social plans for the winter will bo exploited with great gusto and subBequenty will fall just as flat as usual, for there isn't a society leader of any description in town at present and even if there were, it would bo rather uninspiring attempt ing to plan a gay season considering the number of cliques and the cheap ness of most of them. Salt Lake so ciety is a scream in more ways than one, but particularly so, because so few feel assured of their positions that almost all of them ju'mp at the slightest crack of the whip. There are less than seventy-fivo people in town who, through birth or breeding or accomplishments have the right to belong to society and there are extremists among them who are of tho opinion that the abovo figure is about fifty too many. Bo that as It may, no one will care very much during tho warm weeks who anyone is or what one can do, though in tho interim" between now and fall, there will bo a fete or two on tho tapis worth attending. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Carlson of Den m ver are visiting relatives here aftor W a long absence. Mrs. Carbon has been tho guest of honor at a number of functions. Mrs. J. U. Eldredgo, Jr., entertained her at a box party at tho Orpheum, her father gavo a fam ily dinner and the following day Mrs. J. A. Splker entertained Mrs. Carlson at a musicale at which she was guest of honor. Mrs. A. L. Park gave a luncheon in Mrs. Carlson's honor at t,ho Commercial Club and Mrs. O. P. Eldredgo at an evening at cards in her honor. One of the surprises of the week in society that wasn't a surprise was the announcement of the engagement of Miss Vera SJodahl, daughter of J. M. SJodahl, to Judgo William H. King, who were married on Friday in tho temple at Logan. Though friends had been expecting tho announcement of tho engagement for some time, noth ing of an authoritative nature had emanated from the principals. It had been rumored for some time that the eminent jurist and the beautiful daughter of the editor of tho Neiwo wore about to be married. After a honeytmoon of several weeks' dura tion they will make their home in tills city. In the gentlemen's race at Lagoon on Wednesday, Athol Rawlins, who made a great ride on Montgomery closely pressed by Clarence Bamber ger on Cabin, won tho cup, with Al bert McCornick on Hannis third. The race was a big surprise both to society and the track followers as every man , in it rode as though ho wero a pro fessional jockey. Alex Thomas and George Knox especially displayed splendid horsemanship for Belden rid den 'by Thomas acted like a fiend from the time ho left the paddock and Mr. Knox on Banthel lost one stirrup on the back stretch and tho other on the homo stretch, but stuck to his horse. Unquestionably and without taking any credit away from Mr. Raiw lins and his ride, Montgomery was the class of tho face, but by some it was believed that if Mr. Bamberger had not taken tho advico of the owner of Cabin and kept on the out side that ho would have won, and in the opinion of the professionals, his rido was a mile and one-eightih in stead of a mile. Every rider in the race showed what ho was made of and in tho an alysis at the finish it was found to bo good stuff. HAPPENINGS AND WHERE ABOUTS. In honor of Mrs. Thayer of New York, Mrs. O. K.
