I 6 GOODWIN'S WEEKLY. H SAUNTERING S B No matter what the weather man W slips us today the Country club will j bo the center of attraction, for the for- H mal opening will take place rain, snow K or shine, and in any event it will not j bo formal enough to keep anyone H away. If the skies are fair there will M be a rush to work out on the tennis H courts and golf links, though society H is in pretty good condition as it is, j for the season has not been so stren- Hl uous as to break down the nerves. K There has been little feasting late at fl night and those who need the exercise M most are the men who have been coop- M cd up in their offices during the win H H The styles have fixed it so that the M women are more careful of their diet M and don't find it necessary to work so H hard to reduce, but they'll be out in m force just tlie same, for the new sport m clothes must be displayed at all haz- H ards. m Indoors a beautiful transformation M has taken place at the pretty club- H house and the diners and dancers will M; find a real surprise when they arrive. ' Only one hundred and fifty people B can be accommodated at the dinner M and so the reservations are confined H to club members only. There will be H a mob at the club, however, for the H dancing that follows, for the opening H coming as it does at the end of Lent H finds the social herd ready to stam- M: pede. H' Holy week has been devoted to af- H fairs of moment and the entire spring H season has offered very little of an 1 exciting nature, for aside from the M unusual quiet that has come this Len- 1 ten season about a dozen belles and Hj beaux of 193G are about to make their W appearance on the east side in some H of the homes that are gayest when H the butterflys are aflutter. H m The canyons are already beautiful M with a profusion of flowers, notwith- 1 standing the intermittent snow storms, and there have been numerous parties on foot, on horseback and in motor cars during the past fortnight. City Creek and Big Cottonwood have at tracted scores and Dry canyon, more attractive in the spring than at any other time, is the objective point of many of the horseback riders. There is a smell of blossoms in the air and there seem to be more dog tooth violets this year than ever be fore, though they are having a hard struggle with the elements. But in spite of the snow there are patches of brightness scattered through the green, and by another month the hill sides will be in their glory. We know of no particular reason why professional dancers employed in the cabarets should consider it their prerogative to unceremoniously go to tables where ladies are having tea or where ladies and gentlemen are dining or supping in the evening and suggesting that the ladies unknown to them should dance. Possibly they do it with an idea of making it pleasant for them, but it is bold and rude to a degree and if they are too ignorant to know that someone should remind them that it is very provincial. More than one has recently gotten in trouble for his pains and it is up to someone to teach them a lesson if they persist in this new form of in door sport. While the cat's away the mice will play not only in the dark of the mov ing picture theatres, but to the ex tent of taking their affinities to the ball games. At least three gentle men, high in the social scale whose wives are far away are apparently not missing them in the least. On the contrary, they are enjoying them selves to such an extent as to cause no end of comment among the friends of the absent ones. Perhaps friend husband should not mope around alone, but it is a pretty small town H WRIGHT AND DA VIS, A T PANTA GES BHa in which to get away with what they are doing. All kinds of affairs were predicted for the amusement of society-following the Lenten season, but they are not materializing. The dance at the Utah on Monday night for the Sarah Daft home will provide temporary di version and society will be there in force, but there is nothing more of consequence in sight for a week or two and only one or two fashionable weddings preceding the month of roses. For a busy and prosperous year in which nearly everybody seems to be in the money there is less ac tivity than at any time in the history of Salt Lake society, though the lines have been so obliterated that one can scarcely distinguish who is in so ciety and who is not. THE LADY OF THE FAN I TCHOUAND-TSEN was a philoso pher, and it was his custom to wander about the country indulging in reflections on life and matters that came under his observation. One day, as ho was thus roaming about on tho flowery slopes of Mount Nam-Hoa, ho found himself in a ceme tery, where the bodies of the dead were reposing under hillocks of beaten earth. Looking upon the innumerable graves around him, the sage meditat ed on the destiny of mortals. W "Alas," thought he, "here is the end of all the roads of life. When one has once taken up his abode here " At this point in his reflections his at tention was diverted by tho sight of a young woman clad in mourning gar ments that is, in a long, white, seam less robe of coarse material. She was sitting beside a newly-made grave and was waving a white fan over the moist earth. Curious to know the motive for such a strange action, Tchouang-Tsen saluted the young woman courteously and said: "May I venture to ask, madame, who is buried in that grave, and why you take such pains to dry the ground that covers him? I am a philosopher and seek toJcnow reasons for acts, and here is one that escapes me." The young woman continued to wave her fan. She blushed, bent her (Continued on Page 15.)
