Mrs. Harry I. Kuchjns as Ivelou
Shea was one of Portland's most ex
tensively feted brides-elect. Each day
since the announcement of the en
gagement of this charming, maid some
social afafir was arranged in her honor.
On Monday her sister, Mrs. Irving
Stearns, entertained in her honor with
a luncheon; Tuesday Miss Margaret
Porter was hostess for a tea . in her
honor, about 60 of the younger contin
gent calling during the afternoon. The
tea table, which was most artistic in
appointment, was presided over by Mrs.
Guy Porter, and Miss Ruth Shull,
fiancee of Lieutenant William N. gur-
gard. Miss Sara Patrick. Miss Mary
Westaway and Miss Isabel Clark as
sisted in nerv ing.
Thursday Miss Jean Stevens enter
tained the bridal party at luncheon at
the University Club, and Friday night
there was a rehearsal of the wedding,
preceded by a dinner at the Shea resi
dence, the wdding rounding out the fes
tivities last night.
That the custom of "open house" on
New Year's day will be an established
event of the Waverley Country Club is
the wish of the 400 or more persons who
motored out Wednesday aiternoon to
participate in this charming event. Bc-
i tween the hours of 1 to 4:30 there was
a happy stream of men and women con
tinuing the celebration of the New
Year, all being greeted with a diminu
tive messenger boy, labeled with the
numerals "1919."
The board of directors and their
wives received the guests informally,
the reception, dining and ballrooms be
ins festively decked with holiday
wreaths and garlands. A stringed or
chestra was station in the drawing
room and they gave a charming pro
gramme during the reception hours, an,d
several professional vocalists contrib
uted to the gaieties with groups of
songs. A buffet luncheon was served,
the table in the dining-room being ar
ranged to display all sorts of delicious
viands, salads, roasts, beverages and
dainties. These were served in true
English fashion, and the latter part of
the afternoon was passed in dancing in
the ballroom. President Graham Glass
was keenly disappointed when the real
surprise of the afternoon did not ma
terialize. He had arranged with Wil
liam E. "Billy" Boeing, of Seattle, a
well-known , aviator, to fiy from the
northern city and light in the polo field
at the Waverley, bearing New Year's
greetings from the Seattle Country
Club to the members of the Waverley.
Mr. Boeing was unable to get a land
machine set up, and the trip would have
to be postponed until the annual elec
tion of the Waverley Club, which in
scheduled for January 18.
Many well-known matrons and their
consorts, who have for years kept
"open house," changed their plans this
year and took their friends to the
Waverley instead of entertaining them
at their own homes, (he plan meeting
with unanimous pleasure by the differ
ent groups who were able to celebrate
togetner.
About half a hundred of Portland's
most prominent young matrons and
maids called Thursday in response to
the invitation of Miss Ruth Teal, for
tea at her residence. The affair was
part of the holiday celebration, and it
was one of the most delightful infor
mal affairs of the season. The rooms
were gaily decked in keeping with the
season, garlands of mistletoe, holly and
greenery suggesting the Yuletlde. A
miniature Christmas tree bedecked with
tiny lights and sparkling trinkets
adorned the tea table, at which Mrs.
Cameron squires and Mrs. Olan Green
presided. Miss Rhoda Rume'.in and Miss
Sara McCully assisted in serving.
The wedding of Miss Virginia Mene
fee and Vavnel Douglas Colo Beach
was solemnized on one of the most per
fect wedding days that ever a bride
could wish for. Warm, glorious sun
shine added a blessing to the impres
sive ceremony, wnicn was reau uy
Dr. John H. Boyd in the residence or
the bride's parents Monday at high
noon. The ceremony was read in tha
music-room before a screen of deli
cately tinted blossoms suggestlvo or
the holiday season, also giving a touch
of Springtime. The fireplace in the
music-room was a bank of pink and
white bouvardia, heather, freezlas. or
chids and maidenhair fern. All about
AMEDLET or festivities and gl
celebrations sums up the past
week socially. The meek opened
with the Beacin-Menefea wedding; and
closed lth the KucL-ins-Shea wedding
last night. There were many New
Year's eve celebrations which invari
ably mean "open house." by prominent
residents of the city, and this year the
Waverly Country Club added its quota
t ythJ greeting of the new-born year.

of kctplng "open bouse.
There were in adoition a number of
private dinner-dances, watch parties
and supper dances, aa well as the gala
celebration at tiie University Club,
which started with a dinner-dance. In
otna charming informal manner many
of the parties finally merged into a few
bijr festivities in the different hotel
Frill, endtnjj at the residences of some
of the members of the parties. Theaters
received their share of attention, both
the regular performances and the spc
c.al tuhlnigiit celebrations. During the
Week numerous pre-nuptial affairs
were given by prominent matrons and
maids for Ill's Ivelou Shea and some
of the other bri Jes-elect.
The wedding of Miss Ruth Plummer
and Lieutenant Terry, although antici
pated by their friends for some time,
was quite a surprise of the week, the
ceremony taking place last night at the
fiome of the bride's parents, air. and
