Hive almost weekly balls and entertain

splendor. The wedding Itself will be
the social event of the year, although
all possible pain a are being taken to

Mrs. "Potty" Palmer, as aome of her
friends call her. is making preparations
to strengthen her claim to the tltla of
the greatest of American hostesses In
London.- The Chicago society wornan
has always entertained on a lavish
scale, -but up to this season has always
been denied the more intimate recognl
. tlon of the king. As the mil, of ISd
ward has been the only ticket of ad
mission to the most exclusive olrcle of
English society . the American woman
has labored, under a severe handicap

Hampden house, the big mansion of
the Duke of Abercorn in Green street,
which Mr Palmer nasrented for some
years past and which some say she has
bought outright, ha been renovated and
prepared for her coming. 8 he will give
a series of dinners during the season
and can be relied upon to Introduce th
very latest of Knglish and French
celebrities. She delights to rather
around her a thoroughly Bohemian
crowd and to have an unconventional
evening. , She ha a holy horror of th
solidity and dullnesa of oclety with a

Mrs. Waldorf Ator Jr.. ha secured
a London house for the season but most
of her entertaining will be done at
Clieveden. She adores the beautiful
place given to her a a wedding present
by her father-in-law. The Connaughts
are again to stay with her for-a few
days. More wonderful still, it is said
in trustworthy quarters, that she will
receive a visit from King Edward. Such
an event seemed an utter Impossibility
ts those who remember th memorable
rtimpus between the king, when h was
Prince of Wales, and the father-in-law
of Mra Astor. It I said that the won

? Mrs. Anthony Drexel. who played such
a prominent part in the social life of
London last year, will make her Charl
ton house terrace mansion a center of
gaiety. The house ha been made spick
and span for the affray. Her daughter,
Margueretta, Is passionately fond of
. dancing and her mother Intends .that
she shall have her fill of pleasure. There
was a rather foolish report laat fall to
the effect that the young girl intended
. entering a ; convent. but notning la
farther from her mind
" She think too much of the world and
hat It ha to offer a girl In her posi
tion ever to renounb it. The Philadel
phia woman intends to limit her Invita

vaquftshes." So have all those who at-
tended her hall laat. year on th occa-
lon of the "coming out" of Margaretta.
Every'room in the big house was requi
sitioned for dancing, and It Is said that
many guests who arrived late, seeing
the crowded state of affairs, left with
out entering. '
Idy Paget will also b among- thai
prominent hostesses. Most of her en
tertalnlns? will he done from Warren
House,, which Is a charming place of
quaint, irregular form. For ; some
months past the gardens "have been in
th hands of a famous landscape ar
tist with excellent i results. Lady Paget
will give a series of luncheon parties,
her favorite form of entertaining and
one that is very poDular with her many

, Would you consider a proposition that would give you immediate possession of a tine, rich-toned instrument of standard make at absolute rock
bottom wholesale cost and insure you an early ownership through the expenditure of a few cents each day? ; ' : .
We have come back to our old home once more to renew our acquaintance with you and make Portland our headquarters for Oregon and Wash
ington,' where we will do a large wholesale business from now on. To celebrate the occasion of our return, and for old time's sake; we have' formulated
a cooperative plan and have set aside 100 new, latest style, sample instruments to be assigned to 100 pianoless homes, in one big deal, the same as when
we sell 100 pianos to a large dealer, who we supply regularly. As soon as we receive the full list of the 100 prospective purchasers, who feish to take
part in this exceptional .offer,; we will make it a wholesale instead of a retail transaction, saving each individual buyer the entire retail profit which is
. anvwhere from $100 to $178, with two and one-half years in which to complete payment on the piano selected, either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually
' or yearly installments. . The cuts below are facsimiles of some of the world's greatest pianos that are included In this lot. Now on exhibition at show

After you have made your selection you will jiot only be given the instrument at a rock-bottom wholesale cost but you will also get an excahnge
agreement, signed by'us, which practically places the piano in your home for one year on approval, as you will be entitled to the privilege of exchanging
for any other of our various makes within one year from date of purchase, and in such exchange the full purchase price or all money paid at that time
will be applied on the instrument of your second choice. Our motto is, and ever has been, satisfaction to our patrons or money back.. There is an
ironclad guarantee from the factory of from ten to twenty years, backed up by ourselves, which will accompany each piano. As a whole,' we take all
the chances and the purchaser none whatever. Cut out the coupon in the lower right-hand corner, fill in the name and address, mail it to us, and full par
ticulars of our unprecedented plan will be furnished you at once. . . . . ''
