ooooooooooofenoooou
FLOODED with golden sunshine and
luring society folk out of doors
with the balmy breezes, yesterday
was a gay day. Matrons and maids
took glorious motor trips, the first
they have had for many weeks, and
the country clubs were gay with chatty
little tea parties.
Even the bridge parties were in
most cases, followed by motor trips in
the country or long walks in the pic
hills. All morning was devot
ed to an exhilarating horseback ride
by the devotees of that sport, and al.
together the day was most satisfac
tory and brilliant.
One of the delightful events of the
afternoon was the charming luncheon
presided over by Mrs. Marion P. Maus.
the attractive and popular matron who
is being showered with social atten
tions since her return to Portland with
her husband. General Maus. The lunch
eon was given at Alexandra .Court,
and the pretty table, gaily decked with
polden-hued jonquils, was surrounded
by 16 prominent women.
In the afternoon a dozen or so of
the younger girls were entertained at
tea time by Mrs. Joseph Andrews
and her sister. Miss Marian Smith. It
was a most informal affair, but de
lightful Mrs. Frank Fey also entertained yes-'
terday informally with a amau Dnuse
party.
Today Miss Grace Bingham will be
hostess for a bridge tea, honoring her
house-guest. Miss Marvel Shields, of
Tacoma-

having brought more people to the love

through fiction and has become one of
the most widely read writers of young
peoples noons.

life is an interesting one. She spent
the greater part of her married life at
her present home near Rome City, In
diana. Her first serious writing was
done after her daughter was old
enough to attend school, and she was
given the freedom of her daylight
hours. "
She is an ardent lover of the nature
that she has so skillfully woven into
her stories. Armed with a raincoat
and a camera, Mrs. Porter did her first
work for the sheer love of it. She
took pictures of unusual places, birds
and animals and sold them with little
written matter attached. These were
Bent to nature publications, and after
her first installment had been sent
she was asked to take charge of that
department and supply the material
each month.
The second year of her work she ac
cepted a position on the natural his
tory staff of a well-known outdoor
publication and spent her summer ac
cumulating sufficient camera material
to supply her when winter came.
The writer on her little DiacK norse
became a familiar figure In her com
munity and she was subject to much
laughing comment. She was misunder
stood, and her fondness for the out of
doors was voted a certain kind of in
sanity by the well-meaning but mis
understanding villagers. She was
criticised because of her lax ideas as
to housekeeping and her manner oi
dress was subject to open comment.
These facts caused Mrs. forter to
draw about herself a mantle of ap
parent coldness. Her fear of failure
and the further comment that It would
cause Inspired her to keep her mover
ments secret. The result is that.
chrmlng though she is. Mrs. Porter
is extremely reticent and difficult to
meet. She lives a life almost of se
clusion in her beautiful country home.
The day that Mrs. Porter mailed her
first fiction story marked the turning
point in her career. Her vast knowl
edge of nature had been wound into a
ittle happy fiction and. Laddie tne
Princess, and the Pie" was written.
Reauests for more of such stories came
fast and at length she had gained suf
ficient self-assurance to write her
first book, "The Cardinal," published
in 1903. A year later the widely-read
"Freckles" was released. Many oth
ers of equal merit have been put upon
the market, and she has written a num
ber of non-fiction nature books.
Music of the Wilds" and "Moms oi
the Limberlost" are among the best
known of these.
Mrs. Porter has had Innumerable or-
fers to write books other than those
with a nature setting, but she has
steadfastly refused. She declares that
there is a great need which she can
fill for "nature studies sugar-coated
with fiction" to bring men and women.
back to an appreciation of the genu
ine things.
COMBINATION Is the last requisite
of fashion. She demands it In
gowns, coats, hats and every other sort
of a garment even to lingerie. The two
things considered are the art of blend
ing and contrast. One is as much used
as the other. The combination effects
begin with the cufs. collars and band
ings and end up with gorgeous linings.
In the dresses the effect of combined
materials is especially effective. Five
new models that came yesterday to
Portland shop are a varied bevy of
Spring creations. There is one that
features buttons and corded button
holes. It is a garment that may be
worn afternoons or on the street, and
Is of colored taffeta that borders on a
silver gray. The trimmings are Alice
blue. The Georgette crepe sleeves are
narrow about the wrists, and just above
where the cuff should be the material
is cut to form a puff. The whole dress
is buttoned ud in front with blue satin
buttons, and the belt is also Alice
blue. A high roll collar is faced with
hlnn At the side are inserted full pan
els of Alice blue satin and a row of
mock buttonholes and buttons are on
either side.
A lively checked taffeta frock is two
toned green and white check with a
shade of brown interwoven. The skirt
is full and has puffs at the sides. A
dark green belt has two strands hang
ing, down at both sides in front, with
ball trimming at the ends. The same
trimming dangles down the front of
the waist and is suspended about the
neck. A batiste -est and stand-up col
lar are attributes that soften the frock.
The dark green band about the hem
Wot
of the skirt is smart and character
istic. An attractive evening model is a
gown of shaded black net over silvery
white. TJie triple skirt has jet edg
ings and underdrape of hip length
of cream lace. There is a shade of
mystery about the odd sleeves, shirred
in; about the elbows and slit up the
back to a shiny jet buckle fastened
in the shirring. The edges of the
sleeves and skirt are bordered with
sparkling jet. In the back the waist
is scalloped in points and finished with
jet. Each little point is caught to
the Alice blue girdle that stands out
vividly. The wide fantastic collar is
of white taffeta, and rippling revers
complete a "V" effect in front.
