I This next week again will not b.
without gsyeties that are of them
selves sufficient to arouse the excite
ment of society.
The fact that there is to be bridge
tea and dance at the Elks' hall on Wed
nesday, is something to make it mote
worthy in the social calendar of the
year.
The affair, which is of course for the
benefit of the Red Cross, is being Civ
en- by the Illihee auxiliary, composed
of group of prominent society ma
irons who are among the most indefati
gable of the scores of women working
for the Red Cross.
The function just now is engrossing
the entire thought and attention OF
those sponsoring it, as it is the expec-
tation to make it one of the most de.
lightful things yet given.
In addition to bridge, several delight
full features have been arranged includ-
ing music by Washington high Ukelele
club, and solos by Miss Isabel Young,
the charming daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Percy Young of Albany.
the dance are selling for a meager
pay 25 cents for the privilege of play
ing and in the evening the tickets will
be so cents couple.
There is so little doing now in a
purely social way that these very at
tractive benefits have taken the fancy
of society and each and everyone calls
forth a huge gathering of prominent
folk.
Miss Winifred Byrd, the charming
society girl who for the past few win
ters has been studying music in New
York, writes friends that she will not
come home this year, but will remain
in the east, later going to Maine, where
she will spend the summer.
AS Miss Byrd usually comes home
for her summers, this change
in her plans is the source of much re-
gret to her many friends who have
been eagerly awaiting her return.
The Misses Gertrude and Margaret
Gray left today for Chehalis, Washing
ton, to meet their father, George B.
Gray, who is motoring to Salem from
Seattle. They will remain in Chehalis
only for the night, motoring to Salem
Sunday.
One of the gayest and most delight
full affairs of the week was the infor
NAL dancing party for which Mr.. and
Mrs. Grant R. Bonnell were hosts last
night.
About 20 married folk enjoyed the
festivity, and at late hour the gayet-
les were rounded out with a delightful
supper, small tables being arranged
about the rooms.
Those asked to participate in the af
fair were: Mr.. and Mrs. Frank G. My
ars, Mr.. and Mrs. William T. Grier, Mr..
and Mrs. James s. Chinook, Mr.. and
Mrs. Merlin Harding, DR.. and Mrs. Ar
