IT WILL. BE A source of regret to
many that the wedding of Miss Mae
Whidden to Ellsworth Mather Taylor,
of New York. Is to be celebrated In the
Bast, In lieu of the large wedding which
had previously been planned to take place
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. William
Whidden, on Riverside Drive. The alter
ation In the plans Is due to the fact that
Miss Whidden's mother and two brothers
are all In the East, and Ray Whidden,
who is attending Harvard, Is Just recu
perating from a severe illness. As yet the
date has not been definitely decided upon,
but it will occur In Boston during June.
Miss Whidden has a charming manner,
and Is a favorite with young and old.
Mr. Taylor is a Tale man.
An engagement which came somewhat
as a surprise was the announcement of
Miss Helen MacEwan's engagement to
Morris A. Van Houten, of New Mexico.
Miss MacEwan, who is the eldest daughter
of Mrs. J. W. HM. Is favorite by her
gracious manners to both young and old.
She is at present In New York city study
ing music, in which she is said to be ex
tremely talented, but will return In the
near future to complete arrangements
for the very interesting event. The en
gagement is the culmination of a ro
mance originating when Mr. Van Houten
was a student at the Hill Military Acad
emy, which institution Dr. J. W. Hill
has long been identified with.
Another engagement is that of Miss Lu
cile Palmer and Martin Schacht, Miss
Palmer is a niece of S. M. Mears.
The wedding day of Miss Mabelle
Brents, of Walla Walla, and John Robb
is June 5. Miss Brents has visited here
on various occasions as a guest of either
Mrs. Joseph N. Teal or Mrs. Walter
Cooke, and has always been shown many
attentions.
Keen interest is being shown in the pro
posed plans for an all-day festival which
will be given May 25 on the children's
playgrounds by a number of prominent
matrons and girls for the worthy char-

itable object, the People's Institute. On
that day 500 "children of North Portland
are to be showered with attentions. At
10 A. M. a baseball game will be fol
lowed by amusements dear to the hearts
of boys and "girls. At 12 o'clock a lunch
eon will be served under the direction of
Mrs. A. E. Rockey and Mrs. Percy. Mrs.
David Hor.eyman is to be assisted in
serving by a bevy of 48 girls, who will
do all in their power to make the day a
memorable one. Five-minute talks from
representative men in reference to the
very commendable work carried on by
the Institute will take place at 3 o'clock,
and as a charming finale Mrs. Helen
Ladd Corbett Is to obtain the majority of
private motors in town, which will be
driven In many Instances by their own
ers, who will devote several hours to their
charges, who will experience the novelty
of their first ohug-chug ride.
Throughout the United States much en
thusiasm is being shown In reference to
the children's playgrounds, owing to the
fact that the National convention held at
Jamestown has the hearty co-operatfon of
President Roosevelt. Many new features
will be added to the splendid Portland
playgrounds, which cover several park
blocks, where sand banks, see-saws,
swings, gymnasium paraphernalia, etc.,
afford delightful recreation for the chil
dren. Three baseball teams are to be
organized, also classes In basket work
and clay modeling, the latter work dur
ing the Winter having brought out many
creditable designs and is full of possi
bilities. Kitchen garden and cooking are
to be discontinued during the Summer
months, but at the playgrounds the study
hour and gymnasium are to be carried on.
A prominent matron, whose name is
withheld, has volunteered to take groups
of from five to ten children at a time to
the mountain and seashore during the en
tire Summer, surely a delightful way to
Miss Lulle Hall has returned from Lew
iston, Idaho, and Spokane, Wash., where
she has been delightfully : entertained for

smart country club dance.
