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.

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

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

value as an organization it does social
service work, conducts a free dispen
sary and does social and civic work.
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

pensary, giving freely of their time and
skill, will be among those who will be
