HE engagement of Miss Marjorie
I Read to John Vincent Murphy was
announced yesterday at a charm:
ing tea for which Miss Read was host
ess, complimentary to Mrs. Neagle
Sealy. a recent bride. The news came
as a great surprise, about 75 of the
bride-elect's closest friends being asked
to share the delightful news and also
to greet the recent bride, Mrs. Sealy.
Miss Read is a charming girl, a daugh

friends. She received her earlier edu

attended La Salle Seminary in Bos

his home. He is not only popular in
business, socially and in clubdom, but

sidered one of their best polo players.
The wedding probably will take place
the latter part of next month, previous
to which the young folk will be exten
sively feted.
The news was made known In an
unique manner when the bon-bons
were passed around they proved to be
tiny candy hearts fastened together
with ribbon. Inside the hearts was a
heart-shaped card bearing the names
of the couple. The rooms were aglow
With a profusion of Fall flowers and
Autumnal foliage, yellow chrysanthe
mums being used in the drawing-room,
while the dining-room was aglow with
huge fluffy pink and white chrysanthe
mums. The dainty tea table was pre
sided over by Mrs. Cassimtr Campbell,
Mrs. Walter Qadsby and Mrs. Herbert
Cudlip. They were assisted in serving
by a group of the younger maids.
Mrs. Robert "W. Forbes, who recently
returned to this city with her husband
for a brief visit, is being charmingly
entertained by her hosts of friends. The
functions are very small and informal,
befitting the war times, but neverthe
less delightful and interesting. " Yes
terday Miss Helen Eastham asked a
number of the visitor's friends to tea.
Several similar affairs are noted on the
calendar for the .balance of the week.
Mrs. Forbes is an unusually charming
And lovable matron, and her two years'
absence from Portland has been the
source of deep regret to her numerous
friends here.

at their home, 600 Fast Taylor street,
given by their friends in honor of their
25th wedding anniversary. .

a tidy sum. The material would oth
