' 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.

A number of women have wonderful
skating togs, and -are quite pictur
esque in their fur-trimmed suits and
becoming toques, with flowing scarfs,
as they practice the Intricate- steps of
the - fancy skater. Ice hockey is the
stellar event of the week, Tuesday
night's game to be played between
Portland and Seattle. A number of the
younger set have arranged line and box
parties for the evening, which will be
followed by suppers and -dancing.

This year's chairity ball for the bene
fit of the Woman's Kxchange, which

"ing scheduled for Thursday night at

vious affairs of a similar kind, accord
ing to present indications. The com
mittee, which Is working faithfully and
constantly for the ball, decided to
abandon all entertainment features this
yaer, letting the assemblage enjoy the
dancing, the excellent music that they
have been fortunate to procure and the
delicious supper which will be pro
vided by the consignors to the Ex
change. The 'music will be the piece
de resistance, as the management of
the Multnomah, through their interest
In the Exchange, finally decided to per
mit the Royal Purple orchestra, which
plays for the dancing contingent of
Portland in the Arcadian grtll nightly,
as a special privilege, to play for the
charity ball. The entire orchestra will
be engaged, and as It is probably the
most popular dance orchestra in town,
a large attendance is assured.
