X4t "week, as you know, concluded
wth the reception at the Hottrt Portland.
They modesti) called It a "tea but
everybody who was there said It was one
o the very swelleet functions ever given
to Quiet, conservative Portland. And
everybody worth mentioning was there.

Vor-spangled not. It was a handsome
gowjn and exactly suited her harmonized,
you know. Her husband is president of
the Arlington Club, and she received with
Mrs. Ayer and Mrs. Mallory.
"Mrs. Ayer's dress was of white satin
that rich, pearly white that needs no dec
oration to make it perfect. Mrs, Mal
lory looked so charming that I really
forgot to observe her gown closely enough
t6 tell you what it was; but it was some
thing very elegant and becoming. Mrs.
H,. "W. Corbett wore yellow silk, with a
'profusion of real lace; the effect was one
of regal ..richness.
Other Charming- Govrna.
'Miss "Williams was most magnificently
'gowned, in pink, with quantities of real
laoe. "If there is one thing a true wom-i
an covats, Jt is lace real late loads of
it. Diamonds are all well enough, but
we would barter them any day for lace."
"Certainly," I said, "but don't digress."
"Well, there was Mrs. Jack Krillock.
She looked loveljr In a. turquoise-blue sat
in, with roses outlined in white running
riot over it. The corsage of this exquisite
gown was also trimmed with the lace we
love. Mrs. Kobertson ias beautifully
gowned in yellow, and Miss Bdna, John

was magnificent in white satin and black

where all was so desrvins of mention.
he balcony of the clubhouse was in-
and decorated with evergreens and
ese lanterns. Punch was served
and coffee downstairs, where the
Spanish Students discoursed music, behind
a screen of palms, and tiopic plants an'l
shrubs. An orchestra furnished music f cr
the dancers. The supper was something
to dream about, and quite sumptuous
enough to give one Indigestion for a month
to come. It Tas served at email tables.
The color seheme of the supper room was
red red candles and shades red flowers
and so on, and I believe that's all."
"You haven't told me about your own
gown yet.".
"Oh, but I wouldn't have you mention
me for the world, besides, I've worn
that old well, satin rag, at least six
times this season, and it's a familiar sight
to everybody In society. Please, please
don't say anything about It."
And" I haven't, you see.-
The AVllIlnms "Wedding.
The Williams wedding vjas an all-absorbing
topic among society people for
a month before It took place, and they
are not done talking about it yet The
elegant home of Judge George H. Will
lams was thrown open to a' throng of
expectant guests last Tuesday evdniivg.
In the spacious drawing-room an altar
had been erected, canopied with feathery
green, white hyacinths, lilies of the val
ley and orange blossoms, amid which
white doves hovered with outspread wings.
On the'stroko of 9 the bride, in her white
gown and veil, entered upon the arm of
her father, and advanced to the altar,
where the bridegroom, Mr. Carl Har
baugh, with Mr. Bert Mackay as best
man, was waiting to receive her. Dr.
Morrison read the always beautiful an4
impressive marriage service of the Episco
pal Church. The bridesmaids were Miss
Lou Flanders and Miss Helen Eastham,
both In white. Miss Whalley was the
maid of honor, and was daintily gowned
in pink.
After the usual congratulations, supper
was" -served. The dining-room was set
with small tables, and the mepu left
nothlngo be desired. "Dpstaris in the hall;
punch was served throughout V even
ing, and the bllllard-coom, transformed
for the nonce into a pink- bower, was
supplied with a buffet, where guests were
free to help themselves. The wedding
cake, a fairy-like structure, was placed
in the billiard-room. The happy couple
took the, 11 o'clock train to Tacoma Tues
day night. From there they went to
Victoria. Their home will be in Seattle

A Well-Deserved Compliment.
Miss Mabel Dodson, pleasantly remem
bered by many In this City and especially
by the Treble Glef Club, of which shd
was accompanist, is now traveling In Eu
rope. From France, where she has been
for several months, she writes to a friend
in Portland and pays the compliment to
Madame A. de Fronfrlde Smith, a na
tive Parisian teacher of this City: "How
appreciative I am of my good fortune In
having been able to study French with
Mme. Smith last winter. I have said
several times that one may learn pure
Parisian French as perfectly of Madame
Smith In Portland, Or., as In Paris; My
very good teacher here, the best in Can
nes, has identically the same pronuncia
tion and uses the same naethod as she
does. I consider It more to my advantage
to have had my foundation work with
her, for, besides acquiring a correct pro
nunciation, I was making as rapid prog
ress as possible by taking of one who has
the natural gift of teaching and who sim
plifies matters wonderfully by knowing
English as well as French grammar. She
should be especially congratulated on her
system of teaching verbs, for she cer
tainly (to reverse the old saying) makes
a molehill out of a mountain. On that
subject, when I hear people who have
studied a much longer time than I use
a hopelessly wrong tense I am deoldedly
grateful to Madame Smith for the thor
ough and simple manner In which she
teaches the verbs and the use of their
tenses. I shall certainly take up study
with her when In Portland again. By the
way, I want to say that the a' in 'la
table' of all Parisians and Parlsiennes
whom I have had the pleasure of hearing
Is pronounced exactly as she gives it
a perfect equivalent being the 'a In 'last
taps." "
