WITH its merry ringing of wed
ding: bells, with the welcoming
of the homecoming girls from
fashionable schools, with all its flow
ers and festivities, June, the month of
roses, is gone. But July bids fair to
brim with social interest and hold just
as much of gladness for the younger
set as did its predecessor.
The lovely young debutantes, the
brides, the visitors and the girls home
'from finishing school will continue to
be entertained. The warm weather is
giving opportunity for the wearing of
such bewitching Summer frocks, sym
phonies of embroidered organdie,
gowns of creamy crepe do chine with
veiling of chiffon, lace and net. A
smart model seen this week was of
two-colored chiffon made in coat form
and worn over an airy frock. The coat
was in soft pastel shades that made
the wearer appear like a. charmnig
Greuze portrait. In fact. It Is quite
correct Just now to copy the famous
painter's fashions of costuming. Whe
ther or io the futurist styles will find
favor remains to be seen. Only a stun
ning beauty could attempt some of the
types of the later school. Exagger
ated examples of the futurist gowning
were seen in the recent "Sari" produc
tion. The Egyptian idea, and the As
syrian are adaptable to young, slender
women who have a des!re,to be eccen
tric. But courage and individuality must
be added to these.
White gowns were In the greatest
favor this past week. Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday were warm days,
and on all there were numerous smart
affairs that called for the wearing of
beautiful gowns.; Portland has many
pretty girls, and never has there been
