PORTLAND society is this week fo
MM cusing its tpotllght on brides and
engaged girls. As quickly as one
fair bud is led to tho hymeneal altar
Cupid adds to his list of captives an
other radiant belle. Engagements come
tumbling on the heels of weddings, and
the season promises to be a brilliant
one in spite of the war clouds hanging
over the country.
Two interesting engagements were
announced on Thursday, and practically
the entire social interest of this week
centers around the brides. There will
be a trio of fashionable mid-week wed
dings, and their attendant festivities
will fill in the intervening days. On
Tuesday Miss Minnie Fleischner and
Vniliam Ehrman will wed at the Ho
il Multnomah, and at 7:30 o'clock
Wednesday evening Miss Rosalind
Kingsley will become the bride of Med
Xord Beed at the home of her parents.
The same evening, one hour later
Trinity Episcopal Church will be the
eceno of the Koertler-Huber nuptials.
Just now Washington society Is
much concerned over its hopelessly
muddled state of affairs. It is Impos
sible to entertain all the distinguished
guests in diplomatic circles at' the same
time and try to maintain the position
of neutral host or hostess. Tp say the
least, the atmosphere Is terribly
strained, and many awkward and deli
cate situations are constantly arising.
Unquestionably the new Minister of the
lu.mlnlcan republis will be lionized by
Svashlnpton hosts. Practically all the
entertaining, however, will be of an in
formal nature because the President's
family is in mourning.
t
Two charming girls' engagements
were announced Thursday. Miss Len
ette Ferguson's betrothal to David M.
Clay, Jr., of Seattle, was made known
at a pretty luncheon for which the
bride-elect was hostess in honor of
her cousin and house guest, Miss Mar
garet Ferguson, of Los Angeles, and
Miss Rosalind Klngsley. The luncheon
was most attractive, the table being
cornered with an artistlo arrangement
of orchids and lilies of the valley, at
which cover- were laid for Mrs. E. Z.
Ferguson, Miss Margaret Ferguson,
Miss Rosalind Klngsley. Miss Martha
Whiting. Miss Sura McCully. Miss Mar
garet Rader. Miss Mary Stuart Smith,
Miss Hildreth Uumason, Miss Helen Mc-
Cusker, Miss Margaret Griffin, of As
toria, who is also a house guest of the
Fergusons, and the hostess.
The bride-elect attended Oakesmere
School at the same time that Miss
Smith and Miss McCully were students
there, and she is a most interesting: and
charming girl. Mr. Clay is a member
of a prominent Seattle family, where
ho is a popular clubman and wen
known in the lumber business. The
wedding will be an event of the latter
part of December, and the young bride-
elect will be extensively feted at pre
nuptial affairs.
The other engagement was that of
Miss Anna Barron and Thomas Martin

friend of the bride-to-be, had the pleas

Barron's Interests are large. For the
past four years Miss Barron has been

eling and studying and three years

Her family made Its home in that city
during her .school days and recently

Auce their daughter to local society.
