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.
