The social world has been a busy
one this week. In to-day's Jour
NAL is reported a list
of what has been going on
during the week. The season is
just fairly begun and the writer
promises some splendid gatherings.
SALEM SOCIAL CLUB.
The first large party of the season
was held at the opera house on Tues
day last under the auspices of the
Salem Social club, which in itself
implies what brilliant introduction
to the Winters festivities it was.
Salem has long borne the reputation,
both at home and abroad of giving
successful parties, and on this occa-
sion did not fail to render the assur-
ance of fully maintaining and of
adding to this reputation the coming
winter. The floor of the opera house
was most excellently canvassed.
This with the selection of music as rem
dered by Parsons orchestra of Port
land, assisted by Mr.. Roos afforded
all true lovers of dancing an evening
of the fullest enjoyment. 1t is i'm
possible to do the musical portion of
the entertainment full justice, as it
was certainly n rare treat to all who
know and love good music. Several
new and beautiful selections were
given. Those most noteworthy was
the waltz-''Dreams of Childhood" /"
"Our Own" an arrangement for the
Lanciers, which includes few wellre
membered favorites of long ago, with
many others that only tend to verify
the excellent Judgment of the young
men instrumental in giving the
party, in providing such music.
Dancing continued until q late
hour when merry good nights were
exchanged and so ended one of the
pleasantest parties given.
Among those present were: Mr..
and Mrs. Chas Riley, Mr.. and Mrs
w IT Gray, Mr. and Mrs Geo w Gray,
Mr. and Mrs l A Manning, Mr. and
Mrs. G w Taylor, Mr. and Mrs w S

HELEN BLYTHE.
Among the coming attractions
that are noticeable is the first ap-
pearance, in this city, of Helen
Blythe at the opera house In "a
Mothers Love-" She makes her
first appearance here on Monday
evening. The Oregonian of Decem-
ber the 4th says that this very finish
ed artistic gave her second perform
ance in her latest success, "A Moth
er's Love-" ut the New Park theater
last night. 1t Is rarely any artistic
receives the praise and creates so
faborable opinion al Miss Blythe
has. 1t does not seem to be gener-
ally known to the theater-goers of
Portland that they have in the per-
son of Helen Blythe an eXtraordi-
narily gifted actress. Miss Blythe, at
IL years of age, was the leading lady
of Daly's theater, New York, when
Miss Rehan was the soubrette. 1t
was considered a marvellous thing
for girl to step into the position va
Cuttu ny Slutu MOTTlS anu Fuuuy
Davenport. This, however, Miss
Blythe did.
Miss Blythe is surrounded by IA
splendid dramatic company. Her
leading support, Mr.. Joseph Brien,
was leading man for the renowned
aud lamented Adelaide Nelson, he
playing "Romeo" to her "Juliet"
for two years. The New Park thea
ter also deserves special mention for
the orchestra, which Is under the d.
rection of II. Wilmot Eckert. Miss
Blythe again tonight.
THE JINGLERs.
The musical event of the season
will be the appearance of "rhe jim
glers" at Reeds opera house on Sat
urday evening Dec. 10th. "The jim
glers are immense. The Santa Bar
bara Morning Press says that u large
audience greeted the Jinglers at Lee
)ro's theatre last night, and tonight
here will be a larger one if the en-
.husiasm displayed is any guide to
