All, Well!
Fain waa I to rlns a rhyrn
To a dainty damolselle,
Fain to charm her Tirlth a chime.
Tender-toned and true In time. ...
Ah. -a ell!
Thus, methought, my heart might speak
And Its dearest secret, tell.
Till the rose played hide and seek
"With the lily o'er her cheek. ...
Ah, well!
Bo I searched the world for words.
Singing words to speak my spell;
And I sought the tune that girds -Nature's
love about the words. ...
Ah. -nell!
But when she, my Hope, drew near.
Verses vanished, fancies fell
"Sweet, zay sweet. I love you dear"
That was all her heart could hear. ...
Ah. well! ...

"How perfectly lovely!"
One beard this exclamation, oft re
peated, -Saturday afternoon at the recep
tion given by the Teachers' Association,
at the Unitarian Chapel, May 13. But
whether It was made with reference 'to
the decorations or the teachers themselves
I will not undertake to eay. It was
equally applicable to both.
"I didn't dream wo had so many pretty
schoolma'ams In Portland," remarked
one of the delighted guests to. another,
who is, by the way, one of our most
noted citizens, and a "Judge" of beauty
as well as of somo other things.
"Nor did I," was the reply, "but that la
possibly because we do not often have
the opportunity of seeing them all to
gether like this In 'storo clothes,' you
know."
The teachers were at home from 3 to 5,
and there was not a moment of the two
hours all too brief when their reception-room
was not crowded. The officers
of the association, were In the receiving
line. They were: Miss MacConnell. Miss
Donohoe, Miss Dlmmick, Miss Barnes and
Miss Klngeley. Miss Goddard and Miss
Frlendllch alternated at the tea table
with Miss Jackson and Miss Abbott. They
were assisted by half a dozen or more
lovely girls In exquisite gowns.
There were several gentlemen present,
among them Professor Burnham and
Professor Durrctte. The latter, principal
of the Mount "Tabor school. Is Just now
much In the public eye, and is a .handsome
end distinguished figure anywhere. "When
somebody rapturously called his atten
tion to the fairy-like effect of the decora
tions, ho remarked, with a superior air,
that "no one but a schoolma'am would
ever have thought of anything so beauti
ful and original."
Of course there -were roses In profusion.
The Wilder quartet was half-hidden in
a bower of roses and green leaves, deftly
entangled in a drapery of fishnet.
Pntton Home Reception.
Saturday evening, the 19th Inst-, there
was a most enjoyable reception at tha
Patton Home. Mrs. Adolph Dekum, the
charming President of the Home, received,
assisted by the other officers of the board.
The nobles of the Mystic Shrine were the
guests of the evening. Among the many
present were: Judge and Mrs. George1,
Mr. and Mrs. Pittock. Dr. and Mrs. Hill.
of the Bishop Scott Academy; Dr. Chance
and Mr. J. W. Cook. The friends of the
Home, the members of the board and par
ticularly the dear old ladies themselves,
feel deeply indebted to the Mystic
Shriners, as a body, and to Mr. Cook, in
particular, and the reception was, in part,
an evidence of their appreciation. It has
already been told how this order has
generously refitted and furnished the par
lor for the comfort and pleasure of the
sojourners at the Home.
There were refreshments, followed by
music and somo delightfully brief and
clever speeches. The rooms were all
beautifully decorated with roses from the
Home's own rose garden. There was a
great bowl of Paul Nerons on the table
In the dining-room, each one of them so
Immense, so perfect and so altogether
gorgeous, that-one had to look twice to
believe they really were roses.
The Hotel Portland was the scene of two
splendid banquets during the week. Mgr.
Martlnclll cannot complain of his recep
tion In Oregon, the magnificent affair ten
dered him Monday night being the third
tocIal function given at the Portland in
his honor since his arrival a fortnight
ago.
Queen's Birthday.
Thursday evening the spacious dining
room of the hotel was converted Into a
tropical grove In honor of Her Majesty
the Queen. A forest of palms, a gracefuV
tangle of green vines, a glow of gorgeous
color, long white tables, all but buried
In blossoms, the gleam of many-colored
lights, and the subdued glitter of cut
glass and silver no wonder the guests of
the British Benevolent Society didn't go
home till morning.
The Unitarian dinner at the chapel
Wednesday evening, was a most delight
ful event and marked the close of a se
ries of successful and Interesting socials
by the members of the church society.
There was a crush, and everybody
seemed to enjoy being there and was
sorry It was for the last time till well,
it Is to be hoped, not later than next
Autumn.
The "Purples." that is to say. the other
-iwnj. ui me.Nsuvo uaughtere, gave a "whist
social" to the "Golds" Tuesday evening, at
the home of Mrs. Hill, 9 First street.

Stella Kellogg. Mrs. C. F. Smith. Mrs.
SUnson. Mrs. Drake and Mrs. A. P. Chrls
iensn. Palms and La France roses, with
ribbons of purple and gold, decorated the
front parlors. The dining-room waa aglow
with California popples and Marecnal N lei
roses. The epaclous cardroom had the Na
tional colors draped about the walls, with
baskets of Scotch broom and festoons of
purple and gold ribbons. The prize-winners
were Mrs. David Steele and Mr. Paul
Ogilbee. After the game, delicious re
freshments were served and the floor
was cleared for dancing.
Informal Tea.
Mrs. Edgar P. Hill gave a charmingly
Informal tea Friday afternoon, from 3
to 5. The rain that came down in a
steady pour all day long was powerless to
hold at home the bidden guests, and It was
a very delightful company, Indeed, that
gathered at that "T test" In Mrs. Hill's,
pleasant parlors on this particular occa
sion. It was but one of a sorles of en
joyable "afternoons" that are being given
at the mansa of the First Presbyterian
Church. AGATHA.
