RESUME of the -week's events I
resembles a very large and very i
vivid Red Cross. Beginning
with . '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

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. Perhaps the larg
est of those and most elaborate- in
point of variety and detail was the af
fair given Friday by Mrs. David T.

blossoms' extending from the shoulders
to the hem of the train, which In turn
was enveloped-by the cloudy veil of
tulle. 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.
The bridal bouquet was a shower ar
rangement of white Iris, wistaria, lilies
of the valley and orchids.
The bride's sister. Misa Virginia
Mears. was maid of honor and was
attired In a lovely frock of pale blue
taffeta, .veiled with pink net. trimmed
with wreaths of forget-me-nots and
deep pointed overskirt of cream tulle,
edged with silver. Her bouquet was
an old-fashioned nosegay at Cecil
Brunner roses and forget-me-nots.
Little Elizabeth DuMond, a cousin of
the bride, was flower girl, and was at
tractive In a spritelike frock of frilly
white net, worn with a wreath of tiny
flowers. She also carried a bouquet
of Cecil Brunner roses and forget-me-nots.
- The bridesmaids wore gowns made
alike, of turquoise blue taffeta and
tulle. Over the blue foundations was
pink net embellished with silver em
broidery, and this was veiled by an
other tulle skirt made In deep points,
the tulle being of the com color shades,
piped with blue, the first maids' gowns
starting with the palest shades of earn
and the last two having a luscious deep
corn color shade. Their bouquets were
plume fans of blue, covered with sal
mon sweet peas and tulle. The girls
were the Misses Helen Ladd. Meta and
Betty Hupp, Catherine Russell. Eliza
