Fall materials I lerfully tempt- I :asun that wul I ind frivolity in ' A closed. When the sun comes out and the seashore and mountain) resorts attract the pleasure seekers. who can wonder that ihey do not think of- formal social entertaining? Informal affairs there have been in great numbers, motor outings and pic- nlfs galore, but no events of great eoplal import. Pall -up the society belle or matron aj-ly in the morning and sne has Just gqne motoring,. or she is at the dress makers' having one of her new early Fall gowns designed, or, as a "green" maid announced- one- day this week. J-e lady, she is at de dressmakings. Ehe have a fit." . Some elaborate weddings are sched uled for next month,- and for these some beautiful gowns are being built. The trousseau for each bride has to be fashioned, and it takes time and thought and ever so many trips to the shops and to the modistes. The early showing of Fall materials and novelties are wonde lng. 1 ney predict a seaso comDine common sense and frivolity dress. It seems queer these warm days to tie thinking ol our new Winter furs. but the smart dressers are busy plan ning what they shall wear, and furs are not to be omitted. In fact, furs will be very important requisites. it seems ages ago since the society belle was supposed to be "as fair as a lily." Nowadays she is brown as a berry. She is tanned, and "sometimes freckled, but above . all she must be healthy, full of life and vim. and her eyes must sparkle because she is well and strong and is interested . in life. The girl who is interested only in her self never is a success socially. . . Society girls of today have so many interests golf, tennis, motoring, walk ing clubs, settlement work, and last of all, . their social duties. ' ' Then, too, many of them are studying art or music or are active in civic affairs. For the next few weeks society will be get ting ready for the Fall season, which the wise ones predict will be quite gay. Now there are to be considered the weddings, "Veda" and a few garden parties. Never have the gardens of Portland and vicinity been lovelier. The beautiful homes in the city and those on the heights or along the river bank are all at their best, and they afford ideal setting for informal after soon teas and games of bridge. At last "Veda the Vampire," the mysterious Veda and her marvelous so ciety film, will be presented to the peo ple of Portland. At least Veda will make "her" bow this week to all who go to the Majestic Theater, where the pictures featuring Portland smart set will be the extra attraction. iNever has a social affair made such a stir as has this venture, which will be pUt on the screen for the benefit of the People's Institute. Kirmesses, charity balls, fetes, vaudevilles and society cir cuses are mere trifles compared with the stupendous undertaking that will bei filmed this week. Because all of the socially prominent took part in the making, they have all decided to see the how. and to do so they began early-last week engaging loges for the various performances. "I am just wild to see how you look in those love scenes," ' said one of the girls to one of the stars yesterday. That's the way it goes. Everyone is anticipating viewing the pictures. The yqung people who participated worked like Trojans. They got up early in the morning. They did the regulation mbvie stunts; rescued heroines from flying trains; fell from high cliffs and took desperate chances in the cause of charity with a firm determination to make the best pictures possible. And the camera man was so strict. Every thing had to be done just as profes sionals would do it. Ford Tarpley, who was the director, has a keen ar tistic sense and nothing but the best would satisfy him. The society buds, belles and beaux caught the spirit of the director, and the result was a fin ished product one - that would do credit to a- professional company. .Miss Helen Ladd will be seen as the heroine, the bride, and Ferdinand Smith is the bridegroom and one of the victims of Veda's wiles. Now Veda is a terrible person. Someone had to take the part, look wicked and act like "an old stager." Ford Tarpley did it. As a female impersonator he is Just as clever as he is as a writer and direc tor. Among those who will be seen on the screen will be Miss Barbara Bartlett. Miss Nancy Zan. Miss Shanna Cum nilng-. Miss Elizabeth Jacobs. Miss Mal sie MacMaster, Tom Dobson, Miss Claire Wilcox. Miss Jean Morrison. Mrs. Hazel Lkt, Miss Dorothy Sanford, Miss Gene vieve Brooke. Miss Ruth Teal, Miss Margaret Mears.

It is undenominational and has as its object the extension of educational, so cial, medical, religious and friendly aid to women and children. The institute has a center at Fourth and BurnBide streets and another in Alblna. It con ducts classes in home nursing, milli nery, music, gymnasium work, cook ing, housekeeping and sewing. A story hour for children and a gymnasium are Important features. There are some paid workers, but not many. A large proportion of the work is done by volunteer workers. There are clubs for the mothers of the children and for working women, and they have parties every once in a while and the society girls go and sing and play for them and serve cakes and tea, and are just as sweet and sisterly as can be. The in stitute work teaches them to set aside all thoughts of class and to recognize only the fact that they should be help ful and friendly. The clubs for girls and clubs for boys all have a part in the work. The Big Sisterhood is an auxiliary to the Institute. In co-operation with the medical de partment of the University of Oregon the free dispensary is maintained. Last year 7915 cases were treated. The Vis iting Nurse Association takes Care of the tuberculosis cases, co-operating from the same headquarters in the People's Institute Building.
