THE SUNDAY' 1 - 3 -va-? ::" ' 71 .,v' . , r V V 'V a 1 V 7 s a1 - f f '-i' tk 3 I III " S IAt OAS jeECTW 1 yv : ' OW that the erratic social ball of Portland's smart set has found its little groove again after the mad whirling given it by the college contingent who were home for the holi day vacations, the past week was utter ly devoid of surprises or much of inter est. A glance ahead, however, reveals a very Interesting week. First and of greatest importance is the annual charity ball to be given by the Wom an's Exchange on Thursday night at the Btfultnomah Hotel. This will beimmediately followed by the annual ball of the Daughters of the Confederacy, to be given Friday night also in the Multnomah ballroom., while the Knights of Columbus will make merry the same evening in the assem bly hall of the Multnomah, the event to be their fourth annual ball. Charming and popular Miss Mary Bacon will be formally presented to Portland society tomorrow night by her aunt, Mrs. Dallas Bache, at a ball to be given in the ballroom of Mult nomah Hotel. This will be one of the most brilliant affairs in the week's so cial calendar, between 300 and 400 in vitations having been sent out. Miss Bacon Is a member ol a distinguished family, her father, the late General Bacon, having been stationed for a number of years at Vancouver Bar racks. Miss Bacon was one of- the energetic workers at the Girls' Train ing Camp held In the barracks las Summer. Two events caused a gleam of sun shine to appear the latter part of the week; one. the wedding of Miss Mary Meldrum and Frederick Shields, which was solemnized on Thursday night, at -" jusepn . real residence, and oni &vaawviiiS liignu me opening ot me much-heralded Russian ballet at the Heilig Theater, which called forth its usual quota of Interested spectators, with the attendant festivities, which invariably means a dinner party pre ceding the theater party. "With the customary New Tear's mi gration to the South and Bast. Port land's social ranks are sadly depleted at the present time, and not until the forerunners of Spring, the little purple, white and. yellow crocuses, appear, will the travelers return to their own hearthstones. Springtime Is such a wonderful time for parties! What a lot of beautiful flowers, gowns, menus and other minor details can be secured in Springtime, aU ol which make the hospitable ma- tron or maid long to entertain. Motor trips are always a large part of the programme arranged by society early in the season, probably because there are so many delightful places on the Highway and other picturesque roads to rest and have tea, luncheons, or din ners. Ice skating continues, or rather In creases in popularity, the evening ses slons being especially well patronized. W.G.SMITHCO.
