There are so many prominent Port-
and folk at present sojourning in
California that news concerning them
s of rrpat interest to those who nave
remained In town all Winter. One of
the most interesting and brilliant af
fairs of the past week in San Frart-
cisco was the dinner given by the well-
known and much-loved matron, Mrs.
Eleanor Martin, who is as popular in
Portland society as she is in her own
city. The affair was a special courtesy
to Prince and Princess Alfred Hohen-
lohe. who recently were wed in Wash-
ngton, D. C. their wedding being one
of the notable events of the season in
the capital city, and Mr. and Mrs.
James Slevin. the former of whom has
been appointed as emissary to the
Vatican to discuss the affairs of Mex
ico with his holiness. He returned but
short time ago from a similar mis
sion to France. While In Paris. Mr.
Slevin's marriage took place, and their
trip in .this country is in reality a
wedding trip. They are being exten
sively and delightfully entertained by
well-known persons all over the
country.
One of the -most delightful of the
early week festivities was the dinner
presided over by Mrs. Helen Ladd Cor
bett Monday night, honoring Miss Mary

bride-elect, also shared honors with the

ley) arrived yesterday from Hood River
for a brief visit with her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. E. D. Kingsley, at their home
on Summit Drive. Mrs. Reed is very
popular and her visit will undoubtedly
be the inspiration for much entertain
ment. She came up to town to attend
the recital given Friday night by Miss
Katherlne Laid law.

boughs mingled with the fragrant
eucalyptus and the golden-hued acacia
blossoms. They were arranged artis
tically on the panels surrounding the
ballroom, and alternated with clusters
of Oregon grape, . uesywillow and fern
ery of Oregon, which adorned the
large windows. Suspended from the
ceiling were huge Chinese helmets
ihlled with the graceful woodwaruia
fern. Enhancing this lovely scene was
a formal garden arranged at one end!
of the ballroom for the orchestra.
A fascinating white picket fence, en-
twined with Knglish ivy. Inclosed an
alluring garden, in the center of which
was a pergola over which the pepper
boughs gracefully trailed. Box trees,
shrubs, pastel-tintel flowers in pots,
bird-baths at the bottom of which pond
lilies floated, a gleaming white sundial.
Italian marble benches and vinery made
this spot most alluring. In the gar
dens leading to the supper rooms were
arranged great clusters of fragrant
roses of every hue, violets, cyclamen,
carnations. chrysanthemums. Spring
flowers and palms, the exquisite flow
ers being gifts to the fair debutante.
Keceiving with the hostess and the
honor guest was Mrs. Marion F. Fitz
gerald, a sister of Mrs. Bache.
Never have the women of Portland
been seen to such advantage, the
gowns being the last word in "ie
fashion mart. Filmy tulle and lace,
sparkling with eilver and gold lace,
fluffy satin francaise, crisp taffetas,
beaded and embroidered gowns in mar
velous coloring, all blending into a
kaleidoscopic effect of ever-moving
merrymakers. There was a large
representation of the older contingent,
who enjoyed every dance as thoroughly
aa the younger element.
The .supper tables were gay with
broad baskets of the premieres of
Spring in their pristine freshness of
coloring, and tied to each table were
floating, swaying balloons of rose, sil
ver, blue and buff tones. These were
carried off to the ballroom by the
dancers, and the ensemble was one of
rare loveliness and charm.
One of the distinguished guests at
the ball was General Franklin Bell,
who came from San Francisco espe
cially to attend the coming-out party
of the daughter of his old friend, the
late General Bacon. The invitational
list, which embraced about 400 prom
inent persons, included many Army
folk. Miss Bacon is charming and un
affected and proved herself a capa
ble girl and true daughter of a Gen
eral at the training camp held last
Summer in Vancouver Barracks.
She already is counted among the
popular belles of society, and will be
in riotnand at all the smart functions.

gown of flesh-toned satin francaise
built over white fluffy tulle, with a
bit of gold lace appearing on the
bodice. She carried a shower bouquet
of orchids and tulle.
Am on a- those who entertained with
dinner dinner parties preceding the
Charity Ball were Mr. and Mrs. Guy

plimentary to Miss Alice Tucker and

The largest dinner party of the even

Club, where the eminent lecturer. Pro
fessor Albert von Hecke, of Louvain
University, Belgium, gave a most in
teresting and convincing talk on the
conditions and sufferings of the Bel

he is touring this country. More than

which took place on Thursday night in
the ballroom of the Multnomah Hotel.
Socially the function stands out as one
of the most prominent events of the
season and in point of smartness and
good management there was nothing
lacking.
The room presented a gay appearance
with the lovely gowns, in tieir varying
colors and tones, passing-and repassing
as the music by the Royal Purple or
chestra inspired the dancers to enjoy
the latest steps. As a background there
was the artistic decoration of pepper
branches, eucalyptus and acacia that
had been arranged for the debut of Miss
Mary Bacon on Monday, and had been
left at the request of Mrs. Dallas
Bache for the charity ball. A faint.
mystic odor of the pepper, and the
aromatic eucalyptus and a suggestion
of the perfume of the yellow blooms of
the acacia seemed to welcome the
guests and bid them be gay.
The revelry was not only given as a
social event but as a benefit to a
worthy cause. In keeping with that
thought the committee had arranged
that the refreshments, cakes and sand
wiches, be prepared by the consignors
of the exchange. As there were as
many men as women present, there
were, of course, no "wall flowers." In
fact, just now the men seem to have
awakened to a renewed interest In so
cial affairs and are accepting their In
vitations and attending all the smart
gatherings with enthusiasm.
Receiving the guests were some of
Portland's handsomest women. Among
these were: Mrs. Winslow B. Ayer, Mrs.
Theodore B. Wilcox, Mrs. John Latta.
Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett. Mrs. Lewis
Mills. Mrs Elliott Ruggles Corbett.
Mrs. E. L. Thompson, Mrs. William
MacMaster, Mrs. Ferdinand Reed, Mrs.
C. E. S. Wood, Mrs. Henry Coulter
Cabell and Mrs. Thomas Kerr.
Mrs. Ayer wore a handsome gown
of orchid chiffon velvet and black tulle
with silver embroidery as an ornament
to the bodice.
