JT BH WEDNESDAY puts Its cus
L tomary seal of disapproval upon
tha frivolities of social life, but
in recent years the advent of Lent has
ceased in a considerable measure to be
as assiduously observed as of old.
True there Is a modified difference, less
Yorraal entertaiinng on an elaborate
cale, no dances, but more bridge, for
this is Its harvest season: and more
churcbgrolngr for the Roman Catholics
, and Episcopalians, who N invariably
make the usual concessions of the pen
itential season by interesting them
selves in toe various local charities,
'organizing reading, sewing and lecture
Classes. The stellar and only event of
the Lenten period which will serve to
-call general society together will be
the presentation ot "Madam Butterfly."
8o great has been the enthusiasm
.wrought through the charm of Puc
cini's music that this production prom
ises to contribute a dainty bit of eclat
to the Lenten season. No doubt a
number of Butterfly teas or dinners
will be given, which 'has been the rule
in all other cities, where everything
Japanese, be it story, trinket or
bljourette, was eagerly sought.
'Several functions of consequence
were given on George Washington's
birthday, notably a Colonial reception
given by the Multnomah Chapter of the
daughters of the American Revolution.
A number of dinner and theater par
ties have been arranged for both per
formances of the Augusttn Daly Mu
sical Company this week.
C. A. Dolph and Miss Hazel Dolph,
who have- been sojourning for a few
rtfcys at the beach, nave returned home.
The trip was taken to Seaside in hopes
that the ocean breezes might prove
beneficial to Mr. Dolph, who Is slowly
recuperating from a protracted illness.
Mies Louise Messlck Is being extensively
entertained in New York City and at
Governor's Island, where she is a guest of
Captain and Mrs. William Jordan, Jr.,
nee Beall. Miss Messlck is highly ac
complished has keen wit and Is con
sequently a much sought after guest at
the various functions.
A Lenten function of consequence was
the at home given by the Multnomah
Chapter of the Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution, on Friday, at Mrs.
Hockey's residence, on Flanders street.
Several handred guests called in the
afternoon clad in smart gowns, which
contrasted prettily with the quaint Colo
nial costumes donned for the occasion by
the receiving party. The frocks, of that
period, which call for the elaborately
dressed and powdered coiffures and
beauty patches, are vastly becoming to
both young and old, and with the ac
companiment of rare lace berthas, antique
necklaces and cameo brooches, the effect
was picturesque toia degree. In keeping
with the Colonial days were the old brass
candlesticks, the pewter dishes and the
gun and sword of Mrs. Rockey'a ances
tors which adorned the mantle in the
dining-room. The guests were greeted
at the door by George Washington (Mas
ter Paul Goodwin), and Martha Wash
ington (Jane Hoge). The receiving line
