I set who have remained in town
" this Summer have enjoyed the
perfect weather, the opportunities
for motor trips, garden parties. Infor
mal afternoon teas on the verandas and
as inspiration for social affairs and
outings, they have had as guests many
out-of-town visitors, who have been en
chanted wttii this city.
While no form;'.I functions have been
given during the past week, there have
been ever so many small aiffalrs. that
have kept the maids and matrons busy
every day of the week. The motor out
ings have, perhaps, been the most pop
ular mode of entertainment. Pinners
at the country clubs and fashionable
resorts in the country have afforded
opportunity for the dispensing of hos
pitality in a most charming and ap
propriate fashion.
Although si ores of society folk leave
daily for the beaches and mountain re
sorts, there are still large numbers in
town and of these many will remain
here all Summer, except when short
week-end trips are taken to nearby
places which can be reached conven
iently by auto.
Portland society has discovered that
In Summer entertaining in town there
Vrc many charms. Such dainty, chic
gowns can be worn, such stunning cos
tumes for afternoons and garden fes
tivities, and tne verandas are such de
lightful spots for the serving of tea
or for an hour or two at auctfon bridge.
No large social functions have been
announced for the coming week, but
several matrons have planned small in
formal affairs, at which they will com
pliment visiting maldsand matrons.
Charming simplicity made the wed
ding cf Miss Elizabeth Parker and
Ronald W. Mersereau distinctive. There
was no pomp, nor ostentation, no elab
orate display It was just a gather
ing of relatives and friends in the
Unitarian Church Tuesday afternoon
at 3 o'clock when the service was read
by the Rev. W. G. Eliot, Jr., uniting
becoming traveling suit of blue cloth
with smart hat to correspond. Her
bouquet was of orchids and maiden
hair fern. The music for the after
noon included organ solos played by
Mrs. Edith Fallenius. After the cere
mony the couple stood before the altar
and their friends assembled to offer
cousrutulatlpna :md g-ood wishes. Mr.
and Mrs. Mersereuu left soon after for
u trip throughout the Canadian Rock
ies. It is interesting to note that just
about year ago Miss Lucille Parker,
sister of. the bride, was married to
Eugene Mersereau. a brother- of the
bridegroom. The parents of both young
men. Mr. and Mrs. William Bradford
Mersereau. were among those who at
tended the ceremony and stood near
the bridal couple at the Informal re
ception after the marriage service.
Mrs. Mersereau was admired In a hand
white lingerie gown. Summery after
noon gowns wore worn by all the fair
guests assembled.
Mr. and Mrs. Mersereau will reside in
Dotv. Wash., after their wedding trip.
The family has large timber interests
In that locality.
An ultra-smart luncneon. exquisite
in appointment, was that at which Mrs.
Vincent Cook was hostess Thursday.
Covers were laid for 12 society ma
trons. After the repast three tables
of bridge were played, the game oc
cupying the afternoon hours. The
rooms were beautifully decorated and
the table appointments were original
In arrangement and in perfect har
mony. In the hall flaming red gladi
oli Intermingled with gypsophelia
banked the walls and in the reception
room, which Is finished in soft yellow
and 'mellow golden tints, lavender
thistle, heliotrope and. lavender ver
bena formed n pleasing decorative
scheme. The green walls and hang
ings of the library had as complimen
tary adornment rich red gladioli. The
dining-room was decorated in the half
tones of the rainbow colors. The wall
coloring is in a dull blue and flowers
used to accentuate the beauty of the
apartment were sweet peas in varying
shades. The candelabra, heavy silver
holders, with shades of pastel-tinted
silk, added to the loveliness of the
decoration. About the room were many
Venetian bowls containing sweet peas.
The table centering bowl was filled
with the fragrant blooms, ranging in I
color from a deep blue to the palest
pink. The place cards were of design
and color to correspond and each cover
was marked with a Colonial corsage
bouquet.
Mrs. Cook is a gracious hostess who
plans the details of her social func
tions carefully and her entertainments
always are of a delightful type. Mrs.
Thomas Wells, of Boston, house guest
of Mrs. J. H. Page, her sister, was the
inspiration for the luncheon.
Miss Louise and Miss Ruth Small
have returned from the East. Miss
Louise Small went to New York two
months ago and devoted some time to
study educational methods and then
went to Chicago, where she was joined
by her lister, and together the girls
visited releatives and triends in several
of the large cities. They were ex
tensively feted and had a delightful
trip. They returned by way of the
Canadian Pacific route.

if she played, sang or was gifted
artistically, replied "No, I'm just going
to make a nice comfortable, happy
home and look out for the comfort of
my husband and help him make his
way in the world. I am learning
housekeeping and sewing, but I have
no talents." A matron .who overheard
the remark said "You are a wise little
woman. Ami as for talents you have
the most precious of them all the
talent for home-making."

of the year was solemnized at the
White Temple on Wednesday night
when Miss Helen Grace Higbee became
