SOCIETY with a great big "S," mean in?, sunny, smiling dispositions radiated happiness and good cheer last week. Of course, the glorious sun shine and clear, crystal atmosphere were responsible for the delightful con dition. Matrons and maids alike were Just happy, care-free children basking in the glow of the marvelous Oregon weather. True, indoor affairs suf fered, for the lure of the great outdoors was too vivid not to have a ready and eager response from all of society. Long motor trips, with tea at the country clubs, golf matches, horseback rides over the .hills and into the val leys filled with the golden sunshine and balmy breezes, were the principal diversions of the latter half of the week. And the nights, made especially ur ions waiKs. and again motor trips were too wonderful to remain indoors. Consequently, dancing was in the mi nority iast week, at least it was inci dental. The social calendar showed a diver sny of functions, varied enough to please the most fastidious. Beo-innlne with the Valentine tea for the Visiting Nurse Association on Monday and clos ing with the charmine tea for which Mrs. William Hurd Lines was hostess - riaay. society walked and visited. iney slowly unfolded from the warm, wiutry nests, and the sheer lov of liv. ing viorated tnroUKhout society. All grouches disappeared, and the spirit of wanting to nenp ana be kindly nerme- ated everywhere. One of the greatest surprises of the week was the announcement of Miss Lesley Smith's engagemen to Charles Miller, and on top of that came the news of Miss Nan Kussell's wedding to Harold H. Duden. Ico hockev on lfri- day night with many parties Dreneiliner and following it, made Friday nota ble. Many theater parties filled in much of tne evenings, followed invariably hv lancing at the leading grills, some of me hotels giving bi-weekly dances, on which nights society entertains with -large parties at the theaters, choosing me aancing as a fitting close to the gaieties. Looking ahead for a few days, there re several philanthropies to claim the attention of the unselfish and energetic folk. First, tomorrow nitrht the bis- benefit for the Florence Crittenton Home at the Heilig theater, in which the entire city is interested: on Thurs day a similar event will be given, again at the Heilig- theater, the. repetition of Romeo and Juliet," in a areat endeavor to make up the deficit, suffered by the Baby Home from the recent perform ances of this opera.

It was difficult for anyone to refrain from attending the lovely tea for which Mrs. William Hurd Lints was hostess Friday afternoon. One reason was the glorious weather prevailing, making everyone very happy to avail them selves of the excellent opportunity af forded them of visiting old friends while attending the smart function. More than 15U women called during the hours of 4 to 6 o'clock, the rooms, filled with happy, chatty women, reflecting the brilliant azure sky and golden sun shine of the outdoors.
