to the guests of the " balL Socfety
in ail her '"sets," circles and angles was
there, all enjoying a delightful even
ing and helping a wordy charity.
Cotton; ' gowns proved a success,
too, ' and i many a discriminating
critic" who "sat among, the spectators
remarked that Portland women ' with
their fresh complexions and , marked
good' looks wore the more simple even
ing gowns with becoming-advantage.
There were pretty prints that had been
fashioned at home at a cost of a very
few dollars ; which - in their- crisp new
ness," made altogether charming "danc
ing frocks." The-young and old attended,
the school set vieing with their grand
parents in the keen enjoyment of th
new dances. The men, too, conformed;

Miss Ruth Draper of New Tork, the
noted reader, who entertained the

' ;"Tuesday evening a number of matrons

The presence in the city of Miss
Ruth Draper of New York last week
was the occasion of much informal en
tertaining. She is in mourning and
accepted only informal affairs; She ia
a most interesting girl, the daughter
of an o'd and prominent New York
familv. Her father was an eminent
physician of that city and her in other
ai. noted philanthropiet and a patron of
art and music whose support for years
cf the New York Philharmonic through
its years of struggling endeared her
to. '.the music loving people of the city.
Miss Draper as a monologlst stands
uniquely alone. She began her study
Jn that line as an amateur, and grad
ually drifted into the professional
field in her love of the work. Her
selections are her own and show the
lieen insijht into human . nature that
Pile has gotten through being the
daughter and sister of physicians, and
following them in their work, especial
ly among the foreign colonies. .She
has another brother who is before the
public as ; a successful Leider singer,
Paul Draper, a pupil of Jean deReszke.
She was in Portland under the pa
tronage of the Drama club "and ap
peared before them at the art museum
Friday evening, in a series of. mon
ologues-" including "The Scottish Im
migrant," "The .German Governess,"
"Three Generations in ;the Domestic
Relations' Court," and others.'
