low the custom established at the
smartest functions in New Tork,
that of serving wholesome suppers or
nearly"- breakfasts at their parties, how
much more fit the' girls and boys
would be to proceed with the' social
duties of the season, their sports, and,
most Important of all, how much bet
ter their health" would be. .
The- proper and accepted, menu, for
Bumpers at formal and large dances,
Ho-, instance, at Sherry's, during the
efison.just closed eitherwas hot! milk,
or; a ,broth, with scrambled, eggs and
itfcon. hot chocolate and plain bread
IThe inevitable punch was- served
fluringr the evening, and in some cases
a. elmple salad was substituted for the
plebeian breakfast dish, but ,th'e ma
jority of the girls and boys preferred
the simple fare.
jiSqually simple have been the menus
at; card parties, teas and musicales.
in economical mother of several
papular belles in one of the large
cities has been confronted with enor
mous cleaning bills during the social
eeason, and to obviate the necessity
for this, suggested that the men find
eome sort of polish for their dancing
pu;mps that will not rub off on the
girls' light-colored slippers, alBo that
their dress coats make frequent trips
toithe cleaner, thereby preventing many
a "fragile gown, from being discarded
after a few wearings. Men's coats
hive a way of gathering dust and a
mre brushing will not suffice.
Also, men who do not answer invita
tions promptly and make their party
cajls shall be stricken from the list
ofj 'the particular hostess. These are
but a few of the reforms that society
will take up this season,
From all accounts this will be more
of a dancing season, if poRsible, than
heretofore. Now that the modern
dances have been standardized, which
means simplified, with the delicious
lltitle suggestion of a sway that makes
fo)- rhythm, social functions will prac
tically all follow this trend.
&Iajor and Mrs. Adrian S. Fleming,
of) Vancouver Barracks, who are to
Jeive soon for the Philippines, shared,
in; the social activities of the week,
. and the much-feted little bride-elect,
Miss Grace Peters, was quite the cen
ter of much social attention. The
stellar event of the week was the de
lightful dance for which the Wilcoxes
were hosts, complimenting their house
guests. Miss Tyson and Miss Brooke.
A full quota of recitals, lectures,
readings and other literary affairs have
their, place on the social calendar for
the -week just entered, and theater
parties are also a favorite method of
entertainment, followed by teas or
preceded by dinner parties.
It was a wonderfully pretty and gay
party at which Mr. and Mrs. Theodore
B. Wilcox and Miss "Wilcox .gathered
together the belles and beaux of- the
emart set, as well as many of the mar
ried contingent, and the popular bache
lors of Portland society to -greet Miss
Isabelle Tyson, their charming house
guest from the southland, and also to
meet an attractive new bud. Miss
Oenevieve Brooke.
It was quite the event of the week;
although it tool? place Friday night,
it was the topic of conversation for
days, and the only bright spot in a
very dull week for society. The
"Waverley Country Club was never
so attractive, the artistjc floral decora
tion making an effective foil for the
handsome toilettes of the fair sex. Over
150 guests made merry through the
evening, and the latest modes in de
signs and fabrics were in evidence in
the women's gowns. A number of din
ner parties preceded the affair.
The dance not only was a delight
ful opportunity .- for Miss Tyson to
renew old friendships, and to make
new ones, but also served as a formal
presentation to Portland society of Miss
Brooke. Miss Brooke with her mother,
Mrs. Edward H. Brooke, and sister. Miss
Margaretta Brooke, has been living in
Washington. D. C, for ' several years,
the family returning to Portland but a
few months ago.
Miss Tyson has Just' come to Port
land from a delightful visit with promi
nent society belles of San Francisco,
by whom she was extensively feted.
She is a very charming girl, from
Knoxville, Tenn., and visited in this
city over a year ago, during which
time she became tremendously popular,
and was the inspiration for numerous
aoclal functions. - -
Friday night's party was the first im
portant social event of the season, and
it is but the beginning of gay little
,J&'&& Jtfi!&t2 yf&r- Z&ej&Aiircr ojujt
dances and parties that will keep the
young people in a whirl for months.
