UGUST and an almost extinction
of all social activity are hard
upon us. To escape the lethargy
attendant upon the coming of the often
termed "dogr days," a heavy percentage
of those listed In the Portland Blue
Book have already ensconced them
selves In wooden dells or within sound
of the ocean's roar. Alaska has claimed
many a tourist of late, though its cool
ness has raced with the torrid heat of
the Kast and South for popularity with
the vacationist. For the next four
weeks society will stay quietly, keep
ing cool in its own back yard or dis
porting in mountain brooks or the surf
instead of the social swirl.
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Capen. who are
here from St. Louis, with Miss Capen
and the younger children, are coming
in for a bit of informal entertaining
of late. They are staying with Mrs.
W. H. llougrhton, who Is Mrs. Oapen's
Btster, and Miss Claire Houghton will
accompany them home when they leave
in a few weeks. Early in the week. Mr
and Mrs. K. O. Shevlln gave them a
small motor party. Tuesday Mrs. John
K. Kollock gave Mrs. Capen a lunch
eon, asking also Mrs. Marlon rolph,
Mrs. John K. Young. Mrs. Frank Hart.
Mrs. K. Wernicke. Mrs. Klizabeth Free
man, Mrs. Russell Hawkins, Mrs. J. C.
Robinson, Mrs. U. G. Shevlln, Mrs. Mor
ton Insley, Mrs. Frank K. Smith, Mrs.
Sumner Taylor, of New York, and Mrs,
McOrew, of Cincinnati, Ohio.
The next night Mr. and Mrs. Morton
Insley asked Mr. and Mrs. Capen to
dinner and in addition Mr. and Mrs.
Khevlin, Mr and Mrs. Dolph and Mr.
and Mrs. Kollock. On Thursday night
the Capens went to a family dinner
party at the Marion IDolphs.
This week they will again be com
plimented. Among the events on tapis
with Mrs. Capen as honored guest is a
bridge party to be given on Tuesday
afternoon.
Mrs. Walter V. Smith was hostess on
Tuesday afternoon at five tables of
bridge. The affair was given In honor
of her niece, Mrs. Harold C. Charters
(Madeline Smith), daughter of Mrs.
Preston Smith, who is visiting here
from her home i Eureka, Cal., and
Mrs. Preston W. Smith t Susan William
son, of Alabama). Mrs. Charter's sister-in-law.
Mr. and Mrs Preston W. Smith,
the latter a br.de of a year, have been
living in Spokane but have now moved
to Portland and taken a house on Port
land Heights. Mrs. Charters was her
aunt's house guest all last week and
will be with the Misses Wetdler this
week. She has many friends with
whom she will visit this Summer.
Mrs. Smith's home was attractively
decorated. Different flowers were used
in each of the rooms where the women
played. In the hall, where the hostess
and guests of honor received in dainty
lingerie dresses, Mrs. Smith in lavender,
Mrs. Charters in pink and Mrs. Smith
the younger In all white, was a mass
of spirea and wild blossoms. In one of
the rooms were bowls filled with Peslis
roses and in the dining-room, where
Mrs. James Laldlaw poured tea, were
clematis and golden rod. Many cams
in for tea who did not play bridge. A
prize was given at each table. Among
the fortunat contenders were Mill
Barbara Croker. who was awarded a
tllver powder box in chatelaine form;
Miss Hazel Wetdler, whose gift was a
bonbonler in Japanese ware; Miss Et'&l
j, auw-uia ofcjo'lia xecolved. a dalaiy. boA
of AMFjC STPCSAC KOCZX, .
and Miss Lucy Smith, who won a silver I
hatpin. A novelty was introduced in
the awarding of the prizes, as the win
ners drew slips of paper with direc
tions upon them as to where they might
be found and each woman busily
searched about until she found hers.
Mrs. E. B. Hamilton had five tables
of bridge whist at her home a week ago-
lost Friday afternoon. The women who
enjoyed Mrs. Hamilton's hospitality were:
Mrs. H. C. Cabell, Mrs. B. T. C. Stevens.

Of unusual interest to Portlanders Is
the announcement made in the East a
few days ago of the engagement of
Miss Julia Dent Grant to Edmund King.
Miss Grant is in the East visiting with
her relatives' (Mrs. Grant was a mem
ber of the Chaffee family) In Ohio. She

set no definite date for the wedding,
which may take place in the Fall, and
Mr. King and his bride will reside here.

Of much interest to the social and
musical acts is the announcement of
the engagement of Miss Amy Seller, of
San Francisco, to Joseph Goldsmith, of
that city. Miss Seller is at present one
of the three house guests of Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Seller, and the Fred Sellers

lain to cancel her invitations sent out
for -two affairs that were scheduled to
take place last week. Mrs. Chamber
lain was to have entertained at a series
of luncheons at her newly furnished
houseboat that is anchored near the
yacht club.
Most of those who came from other
cities for the last week's Multnomah ten
nis tournament at the Irvington courts
have returned. Miss Hazel Hotchkiss,
of Berkeley, who stayed with Mr. and
Mrs. F. H. V. Andrews, went early to
Seattle and will play in the Tacoma

Cards are being received In Portland
from California announcing the mar
riage of Miss Irma Filcher, only daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Filcher, of Sacra
mento, to Pierre Ellis Myers, in Stock
ton, a few weeks ago. The former Miss
Filcher has many friends in this city.
With her parents she came here during
the Lewis and Clark fair and occupied
extensive apartments in the picturesque
California building at the fairgrounds.
Mr. Filcher was one of the California
commissioners. The Filchers entertained
a great amount of their time here and
that building was a mecca for the
younger set. as during the Summer It
housed also the daughters of Governor
and Mrs. George Pardee, Miss Florence
and the younger Misses Pardee. One of
the novel affairs held during the Sum
mer was an evening of living pictures
followed by a dancing party given by
Miss Pardee. The former Miss Filcher
posed as a lady of medieval times. At
that time she wore her masses of red
, gold hair in loos, Jiralda and was j
one of the most admired of the out-of-towners
who came to our exposition.
Mr. Myers met his bride last Summer
when Mr. Fileber occupied the position
of commissioner at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition. Mr. Myers was on
the executive staff of the Washington
building. He left before the Filchers to
resume his work in medical college. In
Los Angeles, where he has lately com
pleted his third year. The -Filchers. in
cluding George Fllcher. their unmarried
son, went to Sacramento. Mr. Myers
parsing his vacation in the capital city.
The engagement was not made public,
the bride-to-be telling only her intimate
friends of it with the melancholy infor
mation that the wedding would not take
place until Mr. Myers' . graduation from
college.
Mr. Filcher. often with his family, has
acted as commissioner at almost all of
the expositions held in recent- years In
the United States. He filled the same po
sition in Paris and at several other for
eign cities. - -

Confirmation of the report circulated
concerning the most recent of broken
engagements hs been made by Beveral
San Francisco papers. One of them
had the following to say:
The engagement of Ferdinand Thle-
riot, of this city, dilettante polo expert,
clubman and drawing-room favorite.
and Miss Hazel Dolph, of Portland.
daughter of Cyrus A. Dolph, has been
broken.
"Thieriot sailed yesterday from this
port to Japan, to remain indefinitely.
Miss Dolph is touring Europe with her
mother. :
"The romance began a year ago when
Miss Dolph, who is a brunette of un-
usual attractiveness, was a guest at the
home of Mrs. Eleanor Martin. Mrs.
Martin gave a tea to a number of of
ficers from a visiting man-of-war, and
included Thieriot also among the
guests. It was a case of love at sight,
and the announcement of their betroth
al did not surprise friends here.
"Miss Dolph is a graduate of Mills
College in Oakland and has many
friends about the bay. -
"Thieriot is a nephew of Eugene de
Sabla and came to San Francisco two
years ago from New Y'ork, where his
family a social prominence Is unchal
lenged. With. Cyril Tobln and John
Gallois he has occupied a house in Mill
be known as 'The Bungalow, and which
is the seat of cordial bachelor hospi
tality. He and Gallois also have apart
ments at the Palace Hotel. His official
address is. the University Club.'
"Miss Dolph's position In the north
ern city Is one of distinctive promi
nence." The wedding of Miss Rita Bernard to
William Leroy ' Jacobs was celebrated
in New York yesterday. Their honey
moon will be spent abroad.
Mrs. Russell Hawkins was hostess at

Thursday.

pliment to Miss Dorothy Bingham, of
Vancouver Barracks, asking also Miss

Parke, her mother and sister. Miss
Genevieve, are leaving next week, after
short visit at the court, for the ma
neuvers at Tacoma and American Lake,
and then they will return to their home

cial attention, as . they . have many
friends here. They, are relatives of
Thomas Scott Brooke.
Everyone Is Interested In trousseaus
witness the women who will flock to
the homes of the engaged girl as soon
as the date for her wedding draws near,
and their interested speculations as to
how many gowns she will have in her
trunk when she goes away. . There is
one bride of a month who proudly
showed her lovely wedding outfit to ad
miring and envious girls for some
weeks before her wedding. Some of
her creations in gowns were so lovely
that it was lmposstDie to pick tne pret
tiest. By almost universal acclaim
however, one ball gown was chosen. It
is composed of the .filmiest of tulle in
palest blue over slightly darker satin.
About knee length Is a band almost
foot wide of velvet hand-painted with
- rambling roses -in pinks and deep cream.
This holds the trailing skirt close at the
bottom, the tight fitting about the in
steps being a feature of nearly all the
gowns in the lot. The bodice is cut very
low and outlined with baby roses in pink.
the same flowers catching up the
fragments of sleeves of knotted tulle. The
deep pointed girdle is heavily embroidered
with silver beads and in the great caba
chons of velvet wera jeweled ornaments.
Long sash ends hang from the. back,
fringed with silver beads. With this
costume will be worn tiny cloth of silver
slippers with roses secured on the toes.
Another favored dress is of white satin
veiled with gauze painted with largo
blurred roses. On the waist, which is be
spangled wjth silver, are silver roses in
relief. A third dress is of rose satin un
der paler chiffon. The band around the
knee is of all-over lace in cream covered
by the chiffon" tucked. This covered lace
composes the whole of the upper portion
of the dress. - This., gown. . like. .nearly
every other, .features the sleeves and
waist cut -in one. -With the ..former
toilette white satin slippers with silvered
rosettes will be worn anJ with the latter
pink satin embroidered in .crystal. ..
The most admired of her dinner dresses

white silk. The draped skirt is cut away
in the front several Inches from the floor
and a band of silver lace with touches
of gold and masses of cut steel inserted.
