'Monday, there . was , the pri-. vate.";-showing . of -the Ambulance Field Service Gorpa .pictures, at i the First Presbyterian Churchhouse, when the ' effervescent and force ful Lieutenant Roeder managed to make the assemblage forget that there was anything else in the whole wide world but "Red Cross, ambulances." He obtained enough money-for 'two that night, and with- but a comparatively small audience. The next day he fol lowed up his brilliant talk of the pre vious evening, and carried his audience to the extent of getting several more ambulance units for his wonderful work abroad in the battlefields. He is a most convincing, person, and paints a vivid word picture of the fighting in the first trenches, the car ing for the Bick and wounded and many details not dreamed of by the American - .people who have not seen the fighting. It is difficult to chronicle . anything f a purely, social nature, un less it be the smart wedding of Miss ' Mears and Norman N. Rupp, the stellar i event of the week, which was solemn i iaed at Trinity Church Thursday night, f Theater parties at the Orpheum, end- Jng in gay little groups at the supper- dance at the Multnomah Hotel, about ends the real social events of the week. Box and line parties, with their at tendant festivities, held the attention 'of society, and. In fact, every one in Portland Thursday night, when the "celebrated Ian Hay talked before . a large audience in the Heilig Theater ior the benefit of. the Red Cross. Sandwiched in- between all these "festivities, Portland women found time to devote to surgical dressings and .bandages, knitting and sewing for the Army and Navy, and the numerous other necessary duties contingent upon the war days. No matter what one does nowadays, lt all revolves around the pivot. Red Cross. Mner dances, lectures, theaters, lun- rcheons or teas for the next few months they will be accompanied by the in evitable knitting bag. closely resem bling the old-fashioned carpet bag of our forefathers. These artistic bags have been made to do duty In shopping until the great need for knitting And aewing for the' Army and Navy has tieen brought before every woman in town, so at last the lovely bags have come in for their own, and protect all manner of materials for the American Red Cross or American Navy League. liven the school children are taking an active part in this work, and their knitting Is a credit to their teachers and themselves. - Red Cross benefits are. growing rap Idly in number and point of elaborate ! detail so that no one can be bored. ' They are as varied as the winds and embrace every part of the city and ' every set in town. Civic and social. musical and artistic sports and ath letics, all are contributing their quota to the big drive that the American Red Cross, Portland committee, is making. Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett, as chairman of this committee, is concen trating her efforts on this one phase of social activities, and is working with a Best that is bound to bring splendid results. She is ably assisted by Mrs. Theodore B. Wilcox, Mrs. J. D. Karrell, Mrs. Cyrus A. Dolph, Mrs. Winslow B, Ayer and Mrs. Henry W. Corbett. . Miss Valentine Prlchard has charge of the publicity department of the committee, and any one desiring to entertain, for the Red Cross must sub mit the nature of the affair and all information regarding it to Miss Prlchard, Main 1001. The week just ended was replete with Red Cross func tions in which wpnderful lectures and motion pictures were featured, also plays and musicals.

The gown was combined with exquisite Callot lace, embroidered in silver. A mere suggestion of blush pink tulle was used on the bodice un der the silver lace, and the whole gown was veiled with deep pointed drapes of tulle embellished with handrun. threads of silver.
