FETE TO BE T GAIETY WILTj HAVE ITLL SWAY FRIDAY XIGHT. Beautiful Dances Will Charm All Who Attend Entertainment Given for Charity. Red and white, the brilliant colors of the French Fete, will be in evidence everywhere on Friday night, when the curtain of the Baker'Theater rises on tho pretty peasant scene, the May-pole with its myriads of roses, gray young people in holiday attire, pipers and what not. Tn the words of the Village Jester, Master Wayne Coe : And If you cry bravo! Well done! For gypsy peasant. Queen of May, For page, Pavonne, or d arise Francalse, We'll ask no greater recompense. .A lions! Now let the show commence! The show will commence and with a whirl of color, run the gamut of varied dances and catchy songs, and make all merry. The dances are all symbolic; some have survived from ancient festivals, some tell a story of nature.' One of the most beautiful is to be that of the Gypsies, the fascinating people " of no home, no kith; with their wealth of spirit and fire, their love of freedom and motion and song. All of these Ideas they will tell in their dance, kneeling in the begging tableau, at its conclusion in homage to their queen. Then Miss Marie Howell. "Queen of the tribe," glides out to the center of the kneeling circle, and. as if in response to their appeal, she shows them the wild, fanciful steps of her people, now sinu uous and gliding, now bold and free, to the shake, shake of the tambourines and the gentle sway of their lithe bodies. Then "Softly, Softly. Steal Away," and the Gypsies are gone, with their weird and fanciful glide. Tho orange sellers will conclude the pea.sant scenes, they, too, dancing out the thoughts behind their pretty practice. "Come, buy my oranges," they say, in step and motion. "Come. buy. buy. buy. They, too, enter into the spirit of the holiday, and toss the oragnes to the hungry lads and lassies who clamor for more. The idea of the ete is novel and Port land takes kindly to new ideas. The F'ruit and Flower Mission is popular and popularity counts even in charity. And always and ever, beauty will attract, young people will be interesting, art and talent will be appreciated. So here we havt it ali. beauty, talent and an artistic treat with, a chance to do for a noble charity and strange to say, get our money's worth. Not a box or seat has been sold above the cus tomary price. Tickets as well as the at tractive wares in the booths, are to bring value received, even the rehearsals have been the source of pleasure and profit and the fete has already proved "worth while - Council of Jewish Women.

Xot Enough Cars, Infrequent Trips and Routing of Cars Only Few Objections Raised. - Patrons of the Sunnyside and Mount Tabor lines are making complaint regard ing1 the poor streetcar service that is in -ogue just now,: and which they allege seems to be getting -worse with each suc ceeding week. There are several objec tions urged to the present service, among them that there are not enough cars and making infrequent trips. The system of handling the cars is another source of great annoyance,- as well as the routing of the Sunnyside cars around the Third street loop, - It is said that the Sunnyside and Mount Tabor lines are among the ones most heavily traveled in Portland, and that the service now being furnished is worse than at any time in recent years. Sunny side cars are used now only during the morning and evening rush hours, and at that they are not routed uptown, as formerly, but are turned ofT from Morri son at Third and are" sent around the loop. This necessitates passengers who have to go as far as Fourth, Fifth or Sixth, streets, or even farther west, wait ing for a Mount Tabor car, or walking. Tip to two weeks ago. these cars were run up Morrison to Eleventh street, af fording, great convenience to passengers. During the day the Mount Tabor cars, commonly called "through cars, run at about 12 or 15-minute intervals, which is twice too long, as every car is jammed to suffocation, and there is constant com plaint upon the part of passengers. Go ing east, during the evening rush hours. Mount Tabor cars are ordered to make no stops for the purpose xf permitting passengers to alight until Fast Thirty ninth street is reached. This formerly gave the people at Mount Tabor an ex cellent service, but with the Sunnyside cars running around the Third-street loop, these frequently get in front of the no-stop" cars and hold them back all the way out to Thirty-ninth, thus mak ing a farce of the "through" service. The cars in use are,- in many instances, small and absolutely inadequate to the needs of the populous districts that are sup posed to be served thereby. Th ftonrmills of Minneapolis.

Speaker Points to Carnegie as Model of What Can Be Accomplished by Saving. Members of St. Andrew's Society and good Scotsmen generally met around a festal board last night to celebrate the day of the good St. Andrew Scotland's patron saint. There were songs and stories, toasts and speeches, an I other things, and not a man asked who St. Andrew was. The new president, K. K. Baxter, we.s in the chair. Robert Livingstone, who responded to the toast "The Land We Left," told his hearers that Oregon could easily con tain two countries the size of Scotland. He extolled the "thrifty Scot," and told a story of one who wrote home that he hadn't been in London half an hour when "bang went saxpence." "Think," said the speaker, "of the re sult, when the Scots save, for instance, their weekly wages. "What of Andrew Carnegie? Look at the millions he has amassed, because he saved his weekly wages." Passing into a serious vein, Mr. Liv ingstone discussed the literature of the Scot and briefly reviewed the careers of Robert Burns who he 1 bought stands today on the same proud world em inence as Shakespeare, Goethe and Oante Sir "Walter Scott. Robert Louis Stevenson and others. As a contrast to the saving habits of the Scot, the speaker referred to the late John Stewart Kennedy, of New York City, who left $30,000,000 to works of benevolence, charity and church exten sion. A patriotic response was made by John A. Patterson to the toast "The Land We Ll'e In," , the thread of his speech being the high ideal of the naturalized Scot as an American citizen. "As Others See Us", gave opportunity to Wajlace Mc" Camant to make a. speech replete with historical references to Scots as American patriots and model citizens. Mr. Mc Camant also told many amusing anec dotes. J. B. Meikle spoke on "Our Patron Saint W. R. Mackenzie on "Our City", and A. H. Birrell on "The St. An drews Society of Oregon." Scotch songs were sung stirringly by J. Adrian Fpping, now of Hood River, Or.; F. T. Crowther and Dr. George Ains lie. No Scotch merrymaking is complete without bagpipe music, and this was given in fine style by Pipe Major J. H. MacDonald. Every song was encored and often the Scots joined in the choruses. Above the speakers table were Scotch and American flags. Mrs. A. H. Birrell sent a gift of white heather.

With the two prongs of a broken seal ring piercing the sensitive flesh of his finger. Donald Bowles, whose act now on at the Orpheum is esteemed by critics the actor's best bid for fame, played out a long scene at that theater Monday night and then fell fainting in the wings, as the result of gaming It out Mr. Bowles may pay dearly for tho finger, from the neglect, became in fected, and should blood poisoning set in his hand may have to be amputated. The accident happened soon after Mr. Bowles' entry. In a struggle with the butler after the hero-burglar has entered the apartments of the judge, It falls to Mr. Bowles" part to uppercut the servant into insensibility, after wards chloroforming him. Instead of finding the butler's jaw, the heavy blow landed on the edge of a table, breaking a large seal ring on the actor's right little finger. The ring sprung apart, the two broken ends biting to the bone. The wound might have been larger, it could hardly have been more painful. TMzzy with pain. Bowles called the stage mechanician during the intermission when he is sup posed to be hiding from the judge. So strong was the grip of the broken ring that it was impossible tT force it open, and the actor, a real hero now, had to go on with the scene to the end. when the ring was filed off and medical aid called.

I DENTISTS WHAT BEAUTIFUL TEETH! One of our patients told us recently of a good joke she played on one of her friends. "What beautiful teeth you have!" the friend exclaimed. "They are nice teeth," she admitted, "and," she continued, "there isn't a cav ity in one of them." The friend thought that, too, was re markable. After some more talk back and forth between them, the lady with "the beau tiful teeth" said : "I urn going to con fess to you these teeth are ALL FALSE. They are the famous Alveolar teeth without plates or bridgework. They are mine," she said, "for I bought and paid for them, but I am. not tell ing everybody that." And the friend said she was goinsr to have some teeth like those if she had to have some of hers extracted to make room for them. The point of the story is this: The Alveolar teeth are so near like the best that Nature can supply that not only do they deceive one's friends, but dentists as well. And they are not alone beautiful to look at, but they are just as fine to eat with, for once in place they-are as firm as a rock. Will you let our examining dentist look over your teeth free of charge or obligation on your part? Send for our book, "Alveolar Dentis- " try." It is free.
