PORTLAXD society lias been- bris
tling, bustling- and 'bubbling- with
duties and pleasures during the
past week. In which the preparation
for receiving the out-of-town relatives
to the family hearthstone, the school
girls and boys from colleges East and
South, has played an important part
Social affairs have 'gained a tremendous
impetus with the month of December
rapidly drawing to a close amid a
burst of gaieties.
Christmas, with Its impending fes
tivities and merriment, is almost here,
and the enthusiasm of the younger
element keeps the adults In a continu
ous state of excitement. Children's
parties are the order of the day and
the older set is sharing in the mer
riment. There is a rumor afloat that
society is to be given a surprise this
week, as the announcement of the en
gagement of a popular and attractive
young girl will probably be made.
The social pendulum, which so long
lias remained in the same little orbit,
has at last swung over to the side of
gaieties. A list of the affairs sched
uled for the next fortnight which rank
among the most prominent and brilliant
In social circles shows that- Thursday
of this week is the most popular of
the holiday season.' On Thursday Mr.
and Mrs. Theodore B. Wilcox and Miss
Vilcox will' be hosts' for a dance' at
Waverley Country Club; the Oregon
Alumni will give their big holiday
dance at Multnomah Hotel; the Scot
tish Rite Masons will entertain their
members with a Christmas party: Mrs.
Horace S. Butterfield and Miss Butter
field will be hostesses for a tea. In
terspersing these functions there are
numerous smaller and more informal
affairs, principally for the college sets
who are making merry in Portland dur
ing the vacation period.
The announcement made last week
that the Charity Ball would be given
this year on Thursday, January 18. at
Multnomah Hotel, is creating a great
deal of enthusiasm among the dance
element. The affair is, of course, for
the benefit of the Woman's Exchange,
and if present plans, which are In their
incipiency, carry, the aft'air will eclipse
its predecessors, which are noted in the
brilliant- and successful events of Port
land's social history. The entire mez
zanine floor will probably be used for
this dance, as In the past year, and
when the committees and sub-committees,
as well as the list of patrons and
patronesses are selected many Inter
esting ifeatures will be arranged- for
the event. '
The new year will be started merrily
on its way with the fancy costume
dance for which the Corbett family
will be hosts New Year's night at the
Waverley Country Club.
The wedding of Miss Elizabeth Cad
well and Irving C. Tomlinson also will
be among the holiday events, as it is to
be solemnized on December 30. It will
be a simple affair and attended only
by relatives and closest friends.
Xow that the Cinderellas have given
their dance, which was a charming and
delightful affair, it is possible that it
will be followed by one for which the
bachelors of Portland society will be
hosts, as this custom was established
after the first Cinderella balL A group
of the guests of Cinderellas' entertained
with, one of the large dinner parties
preceding the ball last week, and there
were a few smaller ones with maids
and men as hosts.
An event eagerly anticipated by the
married element is the next of the
Monday Night Dancing Club's series
which will be held January 8 at Harlow-Grady
Hall. These dances are
proving very popular, and the club,
