Arizona republican., 1914-03-22

Dan Cupid is no respecter of seas ons, for he proved busy little sportsman last winter Innumerabie engagements were announced and it seemed as if the approach of spring was not as usual to be the signal for hefalding June weddings. How ever, Cupid did not speed all his arrows, and this mornings news will be a pleasant surprise, not alone for the popularity of the young folk. but for the fact that the customary April and May entertaining will center around the most popular of honored suests-the bride elect
 The engagement of Miss ora Orme to l.. H. Ledger is told for the first time today. Miss Orme is the daugh- ter of John P. Orme, president of the Water Users association, and d 1avorite with all who know her A member of prominent pioneer fam fly, she has lived in Phoenix prac- tically all her life, and her friends &re legion.
 Mir. Ledger has been in Arizona frequently and is well liked by all who know, him. He is associated with the santa Fe. with headquarters in Los Angeles.
 Secret Service" the Elks play to be given April 15, 16 and r, is the event that stands pre- eminent among the important functions of spring 1t is, in fact, the event. It is to be the most pretentious attempt of To- cal amateurs, but who they are to be Maitland Davies, the director refuses to divulye He can be trusted to secure not only the best talent avail able but to give a finished perform ance is the fullest sense Of the word for that is what Mir. Davies has given Phoenix on various occasions. Brown of Harvard" has not been forgotten and christopher, Jr.," a more recent triumph, heads the list of amateur theatrical successes. The Associated Charities vaudeville last week, an entirely different type of entertainment, was arranged by MT. Davies. There was just enough va riety and it was all so well given that each number was a stellar at traction. No one act took prece- dence over the other although Mir Davies appearance, perhaps, created the greatest interest. His was a new role for though he has won fame as a tenor soloist and director, his monologue was something en- tirely different from what he has given in the past. It was delightful and it's only fault was that it was much too short and Mr Davies re- fused to respond to the encore. Mrs. James Westervelt was the only other artist on the program who had not been heard before. She has a mag nificent contralto voice and will be the welcome addition to the musical contingent she is to the smart set.
 Conspicuous among the smart events of the week, which was the gayest of the Lenten season, was the delightful affair of Tuesday evening. given by the Los Amigos club. There are but nine members, yet the an nual function of the organization takes precedence over many attrac- tive festivities arranged by the larger clubs and the recent one was if any thing the most pretentiOus over which the jolly bachelors presided. Chap eroned by Mir. and Mrs. John H. Page they gave a prettiiy appointed dinner at the Arizona club followed by an enjoyable dance at the Arizona School of Music to which additional guests were bidden. It was at the club that the most elaborate decora- tive scheme was effected. The tables centerpiece was the sombrero, that is always featured by the hosts, and the floral offerings were roses
