SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1913.
After the lull of last week society
circles this week suffered a violent re
action. Many " out-of-town gufests,
among whom were Mrs. Pearl Hutton
Schrader of Spokane and Mrs. Charles
Clark of Portland, have been feted at
. numerous house parties. The Newton-Bunting
nuptials of ' the coming
-week have called forth many social
; events and altogether the week has
been a busy one for .the hands of the
: social clock, which ticked its dull sec-
, onds during the. Chautauqua hours of
last week, to the empty chairs of the
banquet hall.
A quiet dinner at the home of W.
- Xt. .Tone's on Soventh etroot woe. trtvoti '
in honor of Mrs. Pearl Hutton Schrad
er of Spokane Thursday evening. Af
ter the dinner hour, numbers of Mrs
Schrader's new'y made friends came
in to bid her goodbye and to express
their wishes that she be with us again
during chautauqua time. No person
visiting the city for years has won
so many friends as did Mrs. Schrader
in the short time she has been here.
Her wonderful voice was heard to its
best advantage at the Chautauqua
grounds and many came to know. and
love 'the singer through her charming
personality. Mrs. Schrader left on
the late train last evening for her
home in Spokane and all entertain
hopes of seeing her in La Grande,
each year during Chautauqua season.
