We're it not for the Tuesday evening
card party at Kenneth Moores and the
tea given Thursday afternoon by Mrs
Boise and Mrs. McNary, the calendar
for this week would be even more des,
titute of affairs than was that of last
Grand opera in Portland caused a
ripple of excitement which quickly sub
sided and left monotony in its wake
BY request number of very infor,
nal affairs are omitted from the So
ciety columns. Hostesses who are deep
ly indebted are loath to report small
entertaining until their obligations are
blotted from the social calendar,
At this season of the year society is
halting between two questions, whether
or not, to wait until the rains are over
Miss Fleming's dinner for last even
ing adds one more attractive event to
this department.
The week. smartest social event
was the tea Thursday to which Mrs
Ruben Boise and Mrs, Charles McNary
asked about one hundred guests. The
attractive McNary home on Court
street was filled with beautifully
gowned women during the hours from
three to six. The callers were greeted
by the hOstesses in the living room.
Pink, the color motif Of the decora.
tions in hall, living room and reception
rOom was developed in carnations and
Dorothy Perkins roses, a great bush
blooming with the exquisite blossoms
being placed at the foot of the stair
way. A note of contrast was struck
with the profusion of yellow flowers
for music and dining rooms. Great
clusters of daffodils and jVnquils were
arranged about the rooms, and bowl
of the flowers centered the lovely table
where Mrs, George p. Rodgers, Mrs.
Joseph Baumgartner and Mrs. Thomas
c Smith, Jr., poured.
Assisting were Mrs. John H. McNary,
Mrs W. II. Eldridge, Mrs, William
Brown, Mrs. W. G.. WestacOtt, Mrs.
Amos Strong, Mrs. Clarence Hamilton,
Mrs. F. E. Smith, Mrs. Walter Stolz,
Miss Nina McNary and Miss Casper
The entertaining will be continued
next week, when the same hostesses
are asking guests for cards for Thurs
day and Friday afternoons.
Artistically arranged with red and
white carnations and ferns, were the
rooms of the A. w. Moore home at
895 Chemeketa street last Tuesday
evening when the young men Of the
high school Julius Caesar literary club
entertained with nine tables of five
hundred, cOmplimenting the young wo'
men to whom they were indebted for
many delightful affairs,
This card party was the largest for
the week and decidedly the prettiest
with its bevy of charming girls in dain.
ty evening frocks.
The hosts arranging to make the af
fair very complete, called for the
guests in automobiles and returned
them safely to their homes. In the alb
sence of Mrs. Moore, Mrs. j, G. Kyle
was chosen chaperone, and Kenneth
Moore assumed the responsibility Of
host.
The catering was placed in charge Of
Johnny Jones, assuring delectablC
luncheon.
One Of the most delightful affairI
of the week was Miss Priscilla Elem
ing's dinner planned in compliment t
Miss Ruth Staley.
Friday was Miss Staley's birthday
and for this reason she was made homo
guest It was distinctively a pink rost
affair and the beautiful flowers wer,
used in great profusion, combined will
smilax and ferns. Centering the tabl,
was q small lake embedded with foil
age and on its placid surface floateC
the graceful swans. Pink candles il
crystal sticks were used for lighting
and place cards were hand colered min
iatures.
