THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTIAND, AUGUST , 15, 1905.
The quietest week of the Summer sea
son In town one might say the dullest
week has closed. It seems safe to call,
it the quietest: first, because a week
could not well he less eventful; .and, sec
ond, because there arc signs that the
coming week Tvill Bee more social gath
erings, though mos,t of these will be
connected with the Exposition.
The Harrjman- dinners have been." "the
largest .nd most notables "functions" of
the week. In -spite of the fact that "ye
laldlcs falre" were not present thereat.
From the standpoint of s6clal femininity,
the recital given in honor of Miss Saw
yers, on Friday evening, was cppeclally
noteworthy. Quite a flutter of Interest
was created by the announcement in last
Sunday's" Oregonlan of the marriage of
Lieutenant Cyrus A. Dolph, and of his
approaching, visit to Portland with his
bride. Portlanders have a warm place
in their hearts for the young Lieutenant
and the charming Texas girl whom he
has chosen to make Mrs. Dolph is sure
of a warm welcome here. The illness of
Mrs. Nixon, Lieutenant Dolph's sister,
will perhaps minimize the social func
tions given for the new Mra Dolph, but
it is expected that one or two large and
formal. affairs, as well as numerous in
formal ones, will be given In her honor.
It is understood that Lieutenant and
Mrs. Dolph are spending a week in San
Francisco, where they are registered at
the Palace Hotel.' Their arrival in Port
land has not been definitely announced, j
but Is looked for either a.t the end of this J
week or early in the following week. The
young people will be guests, of Mi.
Cyrils Dolph, and later of Lieutenant
Dolph's mothor, who is at the Hotel
Portland.
Lieutenant Dolph's bride omcs from
San Antonio, Tex.- If one looks on
the map of the Lone Star State, it will I
be found that San Antonio Is not far
from Fort Sam Houston. Indeed, the
city and the fort bear a relation much j
like that between Vancouver Barracks I
and Portland. Now, as chance would j
havo it or, rather, as the little sly god
with the bow and arrows -would have it !
a certain young "LeTteny" from the
City of Roses was assigned to Fort I
Sam Houston. Then there was "an ar
tow or so, slyly shot from a silver I
bow," and the young officer, in spite of
his military training, could not escape
being wounded and, well there you
have it all the romance which is just
another protty love story of the kind
everybody likes to read, and the little
bride is not yet 18 years old!
Miss Alice Cole, who has been the
guest of Mrs. Alvord, Is leaving early
this week for San Francisco, where
she will spend a few weeks before re
turning to Boston. Numerous Informal
affairs were given for Miss Colo last
week, and two very agreeable lunch
cons. Mrs. L. Allen Lewis entertained
for her on Tuesday with a luncheon,
at which the guests, besides Miss Cole
and Mrs. Alvord, were Mrs. Bingham,
Mrs. Wilbur, Mrs. R. Lea Barnes, Mrs.
Frank Warren and Miss Jewell.
On Wednesday Mrs. Percy Blythe
gave a "green" luncheon for Miss Cole.
The guests' on this occasion were the
Misses Von Destinon, Mrs. Alvord and
Miss Cole, Mrs. Ralph Hoyt and Mrs.
Russell. Miss Colo has made many new
friends on this visit of hers to Port
land, and cordial regrets follow her
that her stay here could not be longer.
Mrs. James William Benham, wife of
the commissioner from Arizona to the
Lewis and Clark Exposition, Is fast
making an enviable place for herself
in Portland society. Mr. and Mrs. Ben
ham, with Mr. Bcnham's mother, havo
been staying at the Hobart-Curtis
since they came to Portland, and many
Portland people have had the pleasure
of meeting them intimately. Mrs. Ben
ham's muslcale and tea given a week
ago -was a delightful affair. The Ben
hams spend their Winters in Phoenix,
Ariz., where Mr. Benham has exten
sive business Interests. Mrs. Benham
Is very popular in the Winter colony
that makes that city so much like an
Eastern resort. She spends a large
part of every year in New York, and,
indeed, calls that city her home, Mr.
Benham spending his time there when
not in Arizona. Mrs. Benham is a Phil
adelphian "by birth, but she is very
loyal to New York. She Is delishted

Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Phillips, of Fresno,
Cal., who have been the guests of Mr. and
Mra. W. A. Mears for two weeks, arc
leaving Portland tomorrow. They have
been the recipients of numerous social at
tentions during their visit here. Mrs.

Mrs. Filcher, of tho California Commls-
slon; Mrs. J. C. Stubbs, of Chicago; Mrs.

The decorations for this affair were palms j

room, and for the dining-room brilliant '
scarlet gladioli and nasturtiums in j
shades of red. After the luncheon, tables
for bridge whist were formed. Miss
Mears also gave a bridge party on Fri
day. Mrs. Pletro de B. Rossi, wife of the
Italian Commissioner to the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, gave a series of dinner
and luncheon parties last week in honor
of Mr. and Mrs. George F. Bcverldge, of
San Francisco. Mr. Zcgglo, the other
Italian Commissioner, joined his colleague
In entertaining Mr. and Mrs. Bcverldge.
On Thursday Mr, Zcgglo gave them a
dinner party at the New York State build
ing, and a gondola party on Guild's Lake,
both of which were much enjoyed.
Among the invited guests were Miss May
Montgomery. Mr. and Mrs. Rossi and Mr.

Mrs. and Mrs. George Fisher Bcverldge,
of San Francisco, who have been the
guests of Commissioner and Mrs. Rossi,

On Wednesday last they gave a river
party to Cascade Locks "and roturn for
Mr. and Mrs. Rossi and Portland frlonds.
Friday evening they were seen at an In
formal dinner at the New York State

The London dispatches state that Mra.
Potter Palmer, of Chicago, has had the
honor of entertaining Kin? Edward at
".g'pt House," In the Isle of Wight,
which she has taken for the Cowes sea
son. Mrs. Palmer, as. all America knows.
is a most gracious hostess, and it Is not
in tne least to be wondered at that she
has "captured royalty. An amuslntr
story is told anent "Egypt House"' and
ills Majesty, Xing Edward VIII. A few
years ago the floors were all polished and
strewn with rugs, but In 1903, when tho
King dined there with Consuelo, Duchess
of Manchester. His Majesty, when taking
his hostess into dinner, slipped hear the
dining-room door, and, for the moment,
lost his temper.
"I thought Your Grace knew," he said
to the Duchess, "that I detest polished
floors, and have made a vow never to en
ter any house -where they are." The
Duchess was equal to the occasion and
apologized, saying that the next day she
would telephone to London and give or
ders to have every room In the house car
peted. The King, with his usual good
nature, promptly recovered his temper.
When, with tho Queen, he visited Egypt
Houso last year, he found every inch of
tne house carpeted with Persian carpets.
The Queen laughed when the Duchess
pointed out the fact, and the King did
likewise, adding: "Well, Duchess, it Is
good of you. You see, I am not as young
as I used to bo."
a a
One of the largest and roost enjoyable
affairs of the week was the recital on
Friday evening given by Mrs. Fletcher
Linn, in honor of her sister. Miss Eliza
beth Patterson Sawyers. Miss Sawyers'
playing was much enjoyed when she ap
peared in Portland several years ago. but
her interpretation at tills performance
was a revelation. She has been studying
with the great Vicnese, Leschetizky, and
her technique shows the results of the
severe training she has received. Her
programme included a transcript of the
Magic Fire Song." from the Valkyrie;
three Chopin numbers, waltz in A-flat, im
promptu la F-sharp, and scherzo in B
minor, a grotf of selections from the
modern composers, Bird, Jtlebllng, Oleson
Grondahl and Leschetizky; "Concert
Etude," by Rublnsta, and "Ecrolcd
Etude," by Liszt. Miss Sawyers rendered
several encores in addition to her pro
gramme. She was dressed in a spangle
jrowa of burnt orange, which wa most

HECTED IN PORTLAND rHIS WEEK.
effective. The recital was especially en
joyable, owing to the descriptive analysis
that Miss Sawyors gave of each number
prior to her rendition f "it. About 100
guests were present.
Portlandcrs will rejoice in the hap
piness of Miss Ruth Maxwell, who is
such a favorite in the younger set. But
there will be a feeling of doop regret
that Portland is to loso her after her
marriage. Mr. Blake expects to take
his bride abroad. That is "worse than
as if she were going to Kansas City,"
say her friends. Mr. Blake was in this
city a few weeks ago, and many peo
ple had th'o pleasure of meeting him.
Portland extends warm congratula
tions to him, both on his excellent
taste and his success in winning one
of the city's most winsome daughters.
Mrs. Robert E. Davis gave a lunch
eon at the Portland grill on Thursday
in honor of Miss Sawyers, who is the
guest of Mrs. Linn. The decorations
in sweet peas wero very effective, and
the menu was most enticing. The la

Miss Sawyers, Mrs. Linn, Mrs. Max
well. of Seattle, sister of Mrs. Davis;
Mrs. Melville, of Oakland; Miss Mary
Morrison, Mrs. Palmor, of Seattle, and
Mrs. Frank Paxton.
Mrs. Fletcher Linn, Miss Sawyers
and a party of friends made a tour of
the Exposition art galleries last even
ing, and later went to the homo of Dr.
and Mrs. E. P. Mossman. of Willamette
Heights. Many parties are visiting
the galleries now in this quietly infor
mal way. and Portlanders arc discov
ering that tho collection of art housed
therein contains pictures that are truly
masterpieces and that are well worth
repeated visits.
Mrs. Daniel M. Houser. of St. Louis,
wife of the proprietor of the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, is a guest at the Port
land. Mrs. Houser was prominent at
all of the Exposition functions in her
city last year, and did a great deal of
entertaining on her own account.
Mrs. Roy E. Norton gave a tea on
Tuesday afternoon In honor of Miss
Bessie Mills, who has been the guest
of Mrs. Rockey. About 30 guests were
present. "Paul(ine)" Rockey and
"Frances" (Frank) Sladcn. two "deb
utantes," assisted in serving, both
"dressed in soft gray." The Misses
Dosch also assisted the hostess. The
affair was a very Jolly one.
a
Mrs. Frank Riley chaperoned a
moonlight picnic party of 15 young
people last Wednesday evening, who
went up to the hills back of Macleay
trail. The party was arranged for
Miss Bessie Mills, of San Francisco.

ing Portland last Friday evening.
"
Miss Hazel Dolph, who has been spend
ing a few weeks at Sea View, has been

beads In various colors. Miss Brown
was in white chiffon done with white
lace and designed in princess style,
Mrs. Goodo wore a stunning gown of
white point lace. Mrs. Brown and Miss
Brown will be guests at the Exposi
tion functions of the coming week. It

pre-empted by official functions.
Among notable people who have visited
the aft galleries at the Exposition dur
ing the pa pt week were Mr. and Mrs,
Harriman" and Miss Harriman, who were
delighted with the collection. It Is under
stood that Mr. Harriman purchased one
of the paintings.
Mrs. J. H. Hill, a daughter-in-law of
Mr. J. J. Hill, was a delighted visitor at
the Exposition art galleries last week. It
appears that visitors from the East who
are habitues of art galleries are the mo?t
cordial In their appreciation of Portland's
great loan collection. Mr. and Mrs. Colt,
of New York, and MiP3 Colt, also Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Prang, of Bostqn. have
visited the galleries during the past
week, and have had many enthusiastic
things to ray about the merit of Mr. Du

NOT August 16. It is September 16. There
is amplo time in which to work up the
baby's "points." The Exposition will give
a souvenir medal to each of the first thou
sand babies registered, and dear Mr. Mc

babies otherwise. He has not announced
whether the prizes will be Mrs. Wlnslow's
Soothing Syrup or nursing bottles. They

that ever was. There's no d.ubt It
be. because, forsooth, Portland "has the
nicest babies.

a former Portland girl.
