20 THE SDKDAT OEEGOKIAN, PORTLAND, APRIL 6, 1902. A tea given for the benefit of the Old Ladles' Home was a pleasant social event of the week, and took place In the-parlors of the Hobart-Curtls on last Monday afternoon. The affair was also" quite a success financially, the proceeds for the Home amounting to about 5130. The rooms were beautifully decorated with sprays of fruit blossoms, white lilies, nar cissus and other Spring flowers, the dainty effect of which was heightened by the charming toilettes, which were much In evidence. The committee on reception consisted of Mrs. Herbert Holman, Mrs. Ernest Bross and Mrs. Rosa Bernstein. At the tea table, which was made very attractive by a large bowl of pink carnations and much pretty silver, tea was poured by Miss Failing, Mrs. John Eben Toung, Mrs. Llnthicum and Mrs. H. W. Goode, assisted by Miss Grace "Warren, Miss Failing,-. Miss Wilson, Miss May Hirsch. MissMeyanna "Woodward, Miss Ellen Eliot, Miss Martha Hoyt and Miss Mc Kee. The candy table, which was in charge of Mrs. J. "Wesley Ladd and Mrs. Allen Wright, was also very dainty in its deco rations, and was very suggestive of the Easter season, as on each basket of candy was tied an Easter lily. Mrs. George Russell and Miss Von Bol ton presided over the lemonade table, as sisted by Miss Bessie Cora Bross end Miss Maldia Hart. The lemonade was served from a handsome old silver punch bowl, in a corner of the room which was a veritable bower of snowy cherry blos soms. EVENTS OP THE "WEEK. The Ladies' Literary Club of the First Congregational Church held its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday after noon, April 2, In the parlors of the church, which blossomed with Oregon grape and masses of snowy callas. In one of the rooms a pretty tea table was set, from which, after listening to a programme of unusual interest, the guests were served with dainty refresh ments. "The Witches' Dance," by McDowell, was given with excellent expression by Mrs. W. A Knight, who was followed in an exquisite soprano solo, "The Song of Spring," by Mrs. Fletcher Linn. "The Concert Waltz," by Musln, was a very greatly enjoyed -violin selection, given by Mrs. Reginald Hidden, who was ac companied on the piano by Mrs. Knight. After the musical numbers, Mrs. Her bert Cardwell read a paper on "The Bible in the Fine Arts," in which the subject was handled with a breadth and intelli gence that showed much careful study. Being limited in her time, Mrs. Card well confined her talk to that part of sacred history that appeals most strongly to the masses the story of Jesus and his mother. Beginning with the "Annunciation," she referred to the most famous of the Madonnas, following the life of Christ to the "Ascension." The speaker dwelt at length on the marvels of the Sistinc Madonna, and Rubens' Scenes of the Crucifixion. Mrs. Cardwell also told of the realistic pageants of passion week that she witnessed in Ma nila, of how strongly they appealed to her, and to even the casual looker-on. She is of the opinion that they have been a strong Christianizing force among the Oriental people. A very pleasant Informal entertainment, which was one of this weekfs social events, was the birthday surprise party given to R. K. Warren, at his residence at Seventh and Montgomery streets, on Thursday evening, April 1, by the mem bers of Mrs. Warren's Bible class. Dur ing the evening the Warren Mandolin Club, under the leadership of Senor Pa laclos, gave several beautiful selections; Miss Inez Wheeler sang a solo very charmingly -and responded to an encore, while, besides these, there were other de lightful musical numbers, given by the members of the Bible class chorus and the class double quartet. Another enter taining feature of the evening was a clever sleight-of-hand performance with which Mr. Rae mystified all present. Mr. Warren was the recipient of some handsome presents, among which was a very beautiful bouquet of Papa Gontler roses, but recognizing the fact that his birthday anniversary was on the one day in the year when practical Jokes are permissible, a large number of the guests brought all sorts of ridiculous presents, and when these were untied the objects themselves and the inscriptions on them created a great deal of fun. Mrs. J. H. Spaulding, of 624 East Mor rison street, delightfully entertained a number of ladles at luncheon, last Tues day, in honor of Mr. Spauldlng's grand mother, Mrs. E. A. Pond, of Oshkosh, Wis.

There were 18 dances on the dainty, green-covered programmes, com posed exclusively of 12 two-steps and six waltzes. Dancers were so numerous In the. early part of the night that the floor was uncomfortably crowded. One of the pretty features of the Bachelors' dance was the twilight effect obtained by shutting off most of the Incandescent lights and leaving other lights burning softened by crimson-colored shades. Mrs. Walter J. Honeyman gave a very charming house party at her cottage at Gearhart Park during the vacation. The weather was exceptionally fine and the young people had a merry time, with excursions to interesting points, strolling on the beach, building bonfires, boating and altogether enjoying Mrs. Honey man's generous hospitality and the de lightful beach.
