Four smart afternoon costumes are shown today, the first of white velvet and brocaded silk in dull rose, black and gold. The odd coat to this novel costume has a hemstitched collar and cuffs of rose chiffon and the under blouse is of the same shade. Next to this toilette, upon the sitting figure is depicted a gown of rose broadcloth and white taf feta striped with mole colored velvet (a combination to be much seen this Spring). The vest and sleeves of this .modish frock are of em broidered net. The third of the four costumes here is of a smart deml tailored coat suit of dull green taffeta trimmed with feather fringe and with a huge pink rose at the belt, while the fourth costume is of bronze charmeuse with an odd coat of chalk white edged -with plaited frills of green. would lose more than she gained, and create discord in the bargain. So you see you and some others are misunder standing what it is that women want. They simply want some of the things men have grabbed and labeled mascu line, when rightfully they belong to both men and women. And if men would yield them gracefully, there would be no danger whatever of women trespassing on masculine preserves. But when she has to fight for them. and she gets her blood warmed up In the conflict, then she may forget and remain in the territory she has Invaded to secure her rights. "I thought you would work It around to blame the men for whatever evils resulted from the woman's movement,' smiled the Bachelor. Well," laughed the Bachelor Girl "since men have been blaming women from the days of Adam, I think It is high time the tables were turned."

"Rights and responsibilities," ex plained the Bachelor Girl, amiably. "Oh, so she does acknowledge, does she. some responsibilities?" "Of course," replied the Bachelor Girl, suavely. "She never shifted her responsibilities. All that she has want ed is her rights, so that she could carry her responsibilities more easily." "And I suppose you got it all ad mirably settled, and flayed poor man In the bargain." "I do nut know that man was men tioned." sweetly replied the Bachelor uin. -tnougii i do recall now that he did come in for some quite warm ap proval Lots of us. you know, like men. We have brothers and fathers and and friends who are quite nice." "I don't know why you couldn't have made that a little warmer," grumbled the Bachelor. "I think it would rather surprise you to know what we did discuss," went on the Bachelor Girl, not heeding the Interruption. - "What was it?" Inquired the Bache lor, not keenly, however. "We were almost of the unanimous opinion that woman in struggling for her rights, would, if she were not care ful, lose the true understanding of her responsibilities." "Just what I have always said," in dorsed the Bachelor. "Yes, you have a seeing eye. So many men have." said the Bachelor Girl, just a trifle sarcastically. "But the women, or at any rate, enough of them to give the warning, see their danger. And they are sounding the alarm. They want women to have equal rights with men before the law.

C Burns unanimously was re-elected president of the home. Reports of of ficers and a discussion of business and plans for the 25th anniversary recep tion to be held March 16 occupied the remainder of the session. In her report Mrs. Burns satd in part: "In the year 125 babies were ad mitted to" the home. Our average in the Institution has been from 50 to 60. The health record has been excellent. due largely to the careful attention of our physicians, Dr. Joseph Bilderback and Dr. James Rosonfeld. "We are caring for a number of babies whose parents are being treated for tuberculosis, showing that we co operate with those who are fighting the white plague. "We receive children from every county in Oregon, arid all -we ask is the child be given a name so that In after years should they want to look up their identity they will not be placed among the unknown. "The home is fast becoming too small to accommodate the demands, and a new wing soon will be necessary. The Baby Homo is in better financial con dition now than it has ever been be fore, owing to the proceeds received from Jappyland and the donation of C. X. Larrabee and the bequest of Isaiah Buckman. "During the milk show at Meier & Frank's store last year our babies dem onstrated to the public what scientific feeding would do towards making strong and healthy children. We feel grateful to our many friends who. have assisted us in this work, sending dona tions of different kinds; to the pupils of the different schools for the beau tifully made garments sent to the babies; to the press for the publicity of 'Jappyland,' meaning dollars to the institution, and we feel grateful also to our predecessors in this work, who have brought the home to its present standard." .

DivoreedLife felenffessojipFuessIe. A Call for Help. rniME had torn ragged holes in the X supply of funds which Frank had turned over to her upon their separa tion. More than once she had al ready regretted her high and altruistic attitude in making no alimony claims Why shouldn't she have made an ef fort to secure alimony? Had she not yielded the two best years of her life to her husband, years in which she might have devoted herself to acqulr Insr an earning power, or achieved a far better marriage? But what was done, was done, and like every other human being, she had to face facts as they were, instead of pondering over what might have been Today, after she had paid her week's boarding-house bill in advance, and a dry cleaner's bill on delivery of one of her .suits, she summoned the cour age to take an inventory of her re maining resources. Her bank book showed a balance of $21.48. and hei purse revealed a scant three dollars. In an ever-increasing state of des peration. she had made the rounds of offices which advertised in the news papers for help, and always to find herself woefully lacking in any of the details of practical ability tor which business men are willing to pay sal aries. Shorthand, typewriting and ac counting were closed books to her. and she had neither the funds nor the ambition to take up these studies. All about her ears buzzed and whirled the business activities of the city, and no place was she able to find an open ing where meager and inexperienced services might prove of worth. She had applied for a score of places, lin ing up with streams of girls and women who had records and references to offer the buyer of labor. She had grown sick of the quest, disgusted with herself and weary of soul. This was her frame of mind when she sat down to write to her brother Wellington, a real estate dealer. It was her first letter to him since ob taining her divorce. She wrote him thus: "Dear Brother: I should have writ ten you long ago, but somehow, I haven't had the courage to- do so. 1 don't think I ever even hinted in pre vious letters to you that I was having any domestic difficulties. It Isn't right, after all that you've done for me, to withhold the truth any longer. Frank and I are divorced. I couldn't stand his conduct any longer, and decidsd to do what I thought was best. I shan't attempt to tell you any of the details. The bare fact must suffice. "Due to the fact that we were prob ably both miserable managers, a lot of the furniture and things were re turned to the dealers, whom we hadn't succeeded in paying. I asked for no alimony, and the $250 which I received from Frank when we separated is about the Ones You Love In this day of pure food regulation and bakery sanitation, you should see ' 4rt ifr tpS im MMAmJImr V. 4- v iuai lit Miufiuiug uiai awu staple-bread, far the family, you provide only 5SS ' ' " for in TIP-TOP BREAD contained parity, jfl i maximum nutrition and real worth. .

OULD you please give me some advice as to a name for a sew ing club? There are eight of us. We should like only the initials. "F. K. M." Why not the "Penelope Sistefhood"?

My memory of the old game is so hazy, especially as to what wound up the catastrophe after the various parts of the coacli went to pieces as each was named, that I am fain to refer the query to junior members.

I speak Swedish: under stand how teach piano. Still, I know thero are other things required to learn. What are the duties of a gov erness? E. P." The first essential qualification for the position is thorough knowledge of the English language and familiarity with English literature. Certain pecu liarities . of - expression in your note Bhow that you are a foreigner. You should be able to write and to speak the language through which you are to Impart knowledge to your pupils. Ac quaintanceship with other tongues is an accomplishment. The ability to ex press thought in correct English Is a necessity. The duties of a resident governess vary in different families. Usually almost the entire care of the children's manners and education falls upon her. She has regular hours for study and recitation for them, walks out with them, and exercises a general supervision over their speech and be havior, being guided in these matters by the wishes of the parents. A day governess has more freedom of action, her duties being confined to school hours, unless the mother chooses to put her in charge of their daily outdoor recreation and exercise. . Letters of Thanks. "Would you, as soon aa possible, in form me through the Corner what the proper way is of writing letters of thanks for wedding gifts. "VERY URGENT." The notes should be couched in sim ple terms, varying according to the de cree of intimacy with the divers aonors. If the gift be from a stranger to the bride and one who is a business ac quaintancc. of the groom, one may sue the third person, as "Mrs. Pierson de sires to thank Mr. James for the beauti ful (naming the articlei received from him (give the date) and to assure him of her grateful appreciation of the gift anTJ of the friendliness that prompted him to send it." In addressing friend or acquaintance write as you would in ac knowledging a gift made at any other time. It is not practicable to set fixed rules for any kind of correspondence. The best letter writer is one whose epistles are so like his speech as to bring his personality vividly to the im agination of the reader. To Care a Cold In One Day.
