THOSE who aid. not attend the
Cotton Ball Wednesday night at
the Hotel Multnomah missed on
o the stellar events of tho.entira sea
eon. It was the roost interesting social
event ever given, in the attractive
white and gold, tiallroom, and will
Jingerlong in the memories of the
participants.. Cotton frocks, white
flannel tennis suits, tailleurs worn
with hats and. gloves bobbed together
Tnerrilly through -the. mazes of the
dance, colored linen blouses and friend
ly golf shirts hobnobed and. did service
a the ball, every . conceivable wash
niaterial except calico was in evidence.
;Some were antiquated models of
Stimmers ago hauled from trunks in
tl)e storerooms, and with the aid of
a; shears were made lower in th neck
t4 conform to the present day style of
tlje low "V or the skirts were made
shorter. In most instances the gowns
.iVere of the much-beruffled style, nar
row little ruffles extending from the
cOrsage to the ankles. One of Port
land's fair maids looked' like a minia
ture of the 1860 period with a frilled
muslin frock, black velvet bands con
l'ming the gown to her shoulders, black
velvet bowknotd decking her wrists,
arid her coiffure banded across the
lifow with a narrow snood.
;Flowered mulls, organdies, cotton
nets, ratines, linens, and. other wash
fabrics were in order, the favorite
model being the much ruffled skirt;
the edges of the narrow ruffles were
piped, with colored materials, and the
bodices boasted tiny puff sleeves, car
rying the spectators back to olden
days in fashions.
iln some cases, lingerie frocks were
domed further with tulle scarfs, one
of thla particular design being decided
ly an X-ray affair, as it was worn over
a laoe-flounced petticoat, which re
vealed the wearer's black hose, making
a weird effect. ifcJhe was rather attrac
tive, however, and1 received the smiling
t lances of the throngs as admiration.
Rarely ever has the ballroom held a
more cosmopolitan gathering; every
one from the schoolgirl and boy to the
president of railroads and leaders of
society were represented. Girls and
boys from the leading shops, the cab
xrots, banks, every Bohemian-loving
soul, the zealous church-goers and
prominent businessmen of the city at
tended the affair for the benefit of
Scadding House, and when all receipts
are in, the coffers of the institution
will bo enriched vastly.
So informal was the Cotton Ball, that
when Mr. and Airs. J. M. Fetters re
cently of Pan i'Yancisco, started their
exhibition of modern dances, the girls
J.nd boys seated themselves on the
floor circling the ballroom.
The women who have worked so hard
and faithfully to make- the affair a
success have been rewarded amply, and
have been praised warmly for their ex.
cellent managerial ability. E. W. Ort
mann and Arnold S. Rothwell helped
the committee by taking the tickets
nd cheerily greeting and directing the
vast throngs.
Preceding the cotton ball there Vere
a number of delightful dinner parties,
particularly among the- younger set,
and supper parties at the Arcadian
Gardens closed a merry evening.
