THE Important event socially yes
terday was the Friday Night
Dancing- Club's dance given at
Murlark Hall last night, preceded by
several dinner parties. The dance was
well attended and the gowns of the
lair sex were a delight to the artistic
eye.
One of the largest and prettiest din
ner parties was that presided over by
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wilder at the
University Club. Seated around the
artistically adorned table were Mr.
and Mrs. David Chambers Lewis, Mr.

for a few of the members of the club.
A smart affair of yesterday after
noon was the bridge party given by
Mrs. Richard Koehler at her residence
in Nineteenth street. Guests made up
eight tables of bridge, and a few ad
ditional guests called at tea time. Pre
Kklir.g al the prettily appointed tea
table were Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett,
Mrs. Robert w. Lewis, Mrs Peter Kerr
and Miss Sallie Lewis. Attractive prizes
were awarded at each table to the high

Allen Todd and Miss Miriam Todd, of
Portland, will be guests of honor
Cards have been sent out by Mrs. Z.
H. Greenough and Mrs. J C. Bryant for
a large bridge tea for February 24.
A feature of today's social diversions
Is the opening of the series of Thes
Dansants to be given by the Hotel

hours of 4 and 7 o'clock. Artistic ex
hibitions of the Maxlxe. the Viennese

Hortense Zora. lately from London.
Berlin and Paris, and Harry Gray. Miss
Zora is an attractive girl and wears
the latest models of Parisian tango
gowns and caps and dances divinely.
The patronesses for these affairs In
clude the prominent matrons of the
smart set and the invitations are also
to hold good for Wednesday evening
dances. They will begin Wednesday at
9 o'clock: the patronesses will be the
same as for Saturday afternoons and
both Mr. Gray and Miss Zora will en
tertain the guests with their delightful
exhibitions. They will also be in the
crystal dining-room, and as they are
most informal, they will undoubtedly
be even more popular than the after
coon affairs.

who are leaving Portland, were the
honor guests at a banquet held in the
Dutch room of the Hazlewood Monday.

as a man of sense. And Miss X Is ele

If Jones does not agree with him that
Miss X Is a nice girl he wonders
I whether he had not better "go slow"
with Miss X.
What Is the popular girl but the girl
who gets recommended, all round? And
who do you say Is the popular young

"Allow me. Miss B. to introduce to
you my friend, Mr. G, one of the best
friends I ever had," you say.
Well, you know, if Miss B should
have any opinion of you she turns a
pleased eye and she may have re
markably pretty eyes on Mr. G. It Is
possible you have, in those few words,
done a good deal -to set the wedding
bells ringing.
If you wish to realize how important
is "the favor of recommendation," Just
reflect what a frightful amount, of in
justice the people who won't recom
mend you and who will do the re

I once heard a story about a man
whose- house was entered by burglars
one night. The owner of the house
heard them and went downstairs to
investigate. A tussle ensued that
would have ended disastrously for the
old gentleman but for the timely in
terventlon of a passing neighbor. The
old gentleman, who narrowly escaped
murder, showed little appreciation for
his rescue. Some one who thought he
ought to be more enthusiastic re
proached him. He exclaimed:
"O ah yes! I suppose he did what
one would expect a neighbor to do.
But there's one thing I'd like to know
what on earth was he doing out of
his bed at that time of night?"
There are people in whose heads the
"one thing always a defect sticks,
to the exclusion of everything which
might command recommendation. '
Why ue a niggard of recommenda
tion, .especially where the word may
mean the mating 91 two happy souls?

A charming and effective hat of pure white velvet has just been designed
by Damlde, of Paris. It Is one of the most dashing and attractive of the early
Spring models. The only ornament Is a white quill. This hat is particu
larly becoming to youthful faces and Is extremely smart worn with a black
taffeta suit. The roll of the left side of the brim shows the hair. A copy
of the shape with the same lines would be charming in colors to match
the new Spring costume. A facing of blue for the blue-eyed girl could be
adapted successfully with the velvet. The simplicity of this chapeau is Its
cnarm.

rS divorce an evil?
Is it a menace to American life?
Does divorce lower or raise the stand
ard of womanhood?
Is it the easy solution of marital un-
happiness?
Just what is the price that modern
life exacts from a divorcee?
These and hundreds of equally vital
questions are answered by Helen Fues-
sle in her absorbing daily serial story
entitled "Divorced Life," which will
I appear each week day exclusively in
The Oregonian. The story of what be

who, after two years of married life.
I obtains a divorce, is related in it.
"Divorced Life" is a cross-section of
the life of the great middle class, quiv-
lering with reality. It sets forth the
high lights and low lights of a divor

lights which, faintly tint the most com

Helen Fuessle, author of Divorced

angles of the' growing feminine unrest
which has laid hold of American life
in the by-ways as well as the high

Boston, and a student at close range of

feminist movement in many cities, Mrs,

GIVES TIMELY WARNING
AGAINST "BARGAIN
GLASSES."
"A 'woman who was hunting
'Bargain Glasses' finally suc
ceeded in 'fitting' her eyes -with
what she enthusiastically de
clared was 'just the thing.'
And, immensely pleased with
herself, this woman had brought
about the gravest danger a
woman could invest in, for she
had bought two pieces of glass
crudely ground, but magnifying
strongly, and with them she can
see 'better to read.' That see
ing better will mean an intense
strain upon her eyes, but she
will not realize what the trouble
is, nor the injury the glasses
are doing. Some day she will
be under the care of a special
ist, probably, for the removal
of a cataract, which will cost
several hundred dollars, to say
nothing of the suffering en
tailed, and she will be fortu
nate, indeed, if she does not suf
fer partial or entire loss of
sight for the remainder of her
life."
The supreme test of a pair of glasses
is not in the price, but in the satis
faction they give. The only tempt
ing inducement ne offer is good
vork, good goods and reasonable
prices.

Recommendations and 3Iarriage
& N enormous number of marriages
are the result of recommendations,
although the person who marries on
recommendation never suspects it.
A young gentleman does not gen
e rally consult his friends as to whom
he shall marry. But he keeps his ears
open, and if he does cnance to meet a
sweet girl who chances to be a friend
of Mr. Jones he is quite apt to find
Jones' society agreeable and to be in
it quite accidentally, of course the
next day.
"By the way, I happened to meet Miss
X the other day," he says, carelessly.
"She seems a nice girl."
This he says with all the indifference
he can throw into his words. Miss X
is only a nice girl one of a lot. Sup
pose Jones declares that Miss X Is one
of the nicest and best of girls one ofi
the sweetest creatures possible Jones I

"People have no right to marry if they
