MERRY ELITE DIPS
GAILY AT DANSANT
Attendance So Great at Debut
of Modem Steps Tea Serv
ice Is Impossible.
TANGO TANGLED VARIATION
Variety Is Impracticable for Ball
room Dancing Hesitation Walt
Is Charming Many llandsomo
Toilettes Aro Noticed.
f-oclety's appetite wss whetted to m
roint of extreme keenness yesterday
afternoon, after a couple of hours' de
liKhtful exercise at the Danaant at
Jlotel Portland, and the funda of the
I'eople's Institute were enlarged con
siderably. A representative feathering
thronged the grillroom where the dance
waa given. No one was able to secure
a cup of tea in the grill, owing to the
Immense crowd.
The event being the debut of dancing
teas in Portland, all society turned out,
many just to "see" Instead of to danc.
Those present merely to view the much-talked-of
modern dancea gradually dis
persed after exhibitions of the "walse
rlassique." two pretty variations of the
limn which, however, were not prac-
tirab'e for ballroom dancing and a fas
c.r.ating hesitation walta by Ionald
ilacDonald and Mlsa Haze, as well as
several tangoes and a charming hesi
tation by Miss Taylor and J. Le
Thompson.
This thinning of the vast crowd per
mitted the enthusiasts to dance, sway,
nip and whirl merrily.
There waa a predominance of men
who simply could not resist stealing
no extra hour away from dull care at
the ofttce and joining In the festivities.
There no longer is any question about
the popularity of dancing teas In Port
land, but one thing Is certain after yes
terday's test, and that is the standard
ization of the tango. The majority of
tne Instructors teach different varia
tions, and In other large cities have
lcn obliged to combine and adopt a
standard tango, so that one will not be
obliged to dance always with one part
ner, simply because he or she knows
thn same steps.
The matrons and maids who with
their male companions aided tne cause
of charity yesterday as well as having
a perfectly good time were charm
ingly attired. Many handsome after
1i. ion toilettes were In evidence, while
others in great numbers adopted the
strictly tailored suit, and apparently
were unhampered by hats and furs.
The home of Mrs. Frederick IL Page
was the scene of one of the most elab
orate and beautifully appointed bririice
teas of the year yesterday, when Mrs.
Page and Mrs. James I. Hart enter
tained for the pleasure of a large num
ber of their friends. Eight tables were
arranged for guests from 2 to 4 o'clock
and the same number played from 4 to
C o'clock. Many smart gowns were in
evidence and the beautifully decorated
rooms afforded u picturesque setting
for the festivity.
In the drawing-room and library,
where the tables ere placed, tall
chrysanthemums were arranged in
bronze and silver urns. Pink and
mauve were combined artistically in
the adornment of the drawing-room
xnd white and green In the library.
The dining-room was attractive wlt
holly and greenery.
Mrs. J. Wesley Ladd and Mrs. Will
iam S. Blddle presided at the sam
ovars and Mrs. Edward Cooklngham
served Ices during the early part of the
afternoon, and later Mrs. William 11.
Skene and Mrs. Martin, of Vancouver
liarracks. and Mrs. Lavid Lewis pre
sided in the dining-room. Mrs. K. Lea
Barnes and Mrs. Joseph Nathan Teal
were stationed at the punchbowl, and
assisting about the rooms were several
charming young matrons and maids.
Including Mrs. Henry Wesslnger. Mrs.
Carl Wernicke. Mrs. Gilbert I'urhim.
Mrs. Philip Hart. Mrs. James Zan. Miss
J .aura Smith. Miss Helen Page and Miss
Katherine Hart. Mrs. Page received
In a handsome gown of black char
