St - . s - ,3 I - A -r: -ai I' AggS5agg THESE are the days when It Is considered quits correct to say, "There is so little doing. Every one is either at the beach or moun tain resort, or Is going." But In spite of the fact that Portland is so sit uated that mountain and beach are near by and everyone is either away or going away, there seems to be something socially Interesting to rec ord each day. Of course, everything la informal, almost as informal as at Lenten time, but far more fun than are the early spring affairs, for the Bummer entertaining includes so many plcnio suppers, luncheons along the highway or garden parties for groups of congenial friends. Bridge seems to have gained wonderfully in popu larity this past week and nearly each day the social calendar recorded at least one bridge tea. As a rule in formality prevailed. Such attractive and interesting vis itors have been here this season that entertaiing for them has been a per feet joy. Mrs. Vincent Cook's luncheon Tues day at the Waverley Country club was one of the smart affairs of the week. Old-fashioned summer flowers cen tered and bordered the table, and their arrangement 'In gracefully shaped baskets was an artistic tri umph. Covers were placed for the Mrs. Vincent Cook presided at luncheon Tuesday, honoring Mrs. Carlton Walter Betts (Ruth Teal) and Mrs. Frank V. du Mond. Mrs. Harry Reed entertained Tues day at a bridge party and tea. Fouf tables of bridge were made up fot the afternoon with additional guests calling at the tea hour. Miss Mary Gill was an attractive hostess Monday, entertaining about EO of her girl friends at tea. Assist ing the hostess were the blisses Adele and Louise Jones, Catherine Macey. and Nan Montgomery. In addition to Its artistic and dra matic interest the production of "The Forest Children" in the g-arden of the H. C. Wortmau residence In Vista avenue was a brilliant social success. Relatives and friends of the young people participating, patrons of art and music and of the university who are appreciative of the work and abil ity of Mrs. Mabel Holmes Parsons and many others who were eager to wit ness the clever production, attended. It was with pleasure that society learned that the entertainment was to be repeated Thursday. For those magic moments when the operatic fantasy was being presented we all became woodland folk. We were like Peter Pan believing n fair ies, never wanting to grow up, en chanted with the beauty of our sur roundings, attuned to the music and the melody that a master- hand had wrought and feeling ourselves a part of the spirit of youth that held sway. The children in the play were to us real fairies, real butterflies, busy, buzzing bees, dryads and fairy-lore folk come into their own and leading us away from all sordid things. Tip-top-toe, very softly the little people came across the green grass and loving parents and friends looked on and admired and entered right into the Joy of the play and the dance. They were childreri of promi nent Portland families and each was just as lovely and dainty as a child should be. The music lor tne piay was written by Wirt Denlson and the splendid orchestration was arranged by Howard Barlow. The premier production of . "The Forest Children," given as a society event and a benefit for a fund for the University of Oregon woman s build ing. was also a memorial for Miss Camille Dosch and her nephew, Fleurot, that a tablet might, be placed in that building bearing their names. Monuments that represent such a wonderful expression of love and beautv are inded rare and it was with particular interest and devotion that friends of the late Miss Dosch at tended the operetta Several dinner parties followed and a few teas, one of these latter having been given by Mrs. M. Donald Spence. Mrs. John Pipes and Mrs. Harry Beal Torrey, who entertained the princi pals of the cast. Mrs. Torrey de signed the costumes for the operetta and Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. Pipes were on the executive staff. Mrs. Llllie Davey Thomas trained the children's chorus. George Natanson was the big, fearless hunter. Blanche Williams Segerston and Louise Huntley were accompanists and there was an or chestra of about 27 pieces. Socially, as has been said, the oper etta was a success, but it should be given in the auditorium some day, where all the children might see it for its beauty and its message will become a part of all who witness its production.
