CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SPORTING AND MARKET REPOXTS 1 I SECTION TWO Pages 1 to 18 VOL. XXXI. v ' SUNDAY MOUSING. PORTLAXD, ' OREGON. SEPTEMBER 15, 1912. 37- ; , ; : ! " ost Script One of the illuminating problems which was propounded to us during our collegiate study of English literature I think I was a freshman was this: Supposing that one was to be ship wrecked on a totally desert island and doomed to spend the rest of one's days in that benighted place, what 1 0 books would it be best to take with one to beguile the weary years away? Of course, the prospect of a life of solitude with 10 books barring the possibility of meeting with a congenial cannibal was enough to provoke serious thought on the part of even the most frivolous. I think all of us began our list with the Bible and Shakespeare, and fol lowed these with a number of the classics. Les Miserables was a great favorite. I believe that I filled out the remaining eight in my library with Dickens' novels, and was severely criti cised for my partiality. But this morn ing as I wandered into the pleasant little "Book-lovers Corner" which is reallv not a corner at all, but a tiny. softly-carpeted library and browsed among the well-filled shelves, 1 round mv favorite in such attractive bindings. and so quaintly illustrated by the fa mous Phiz., that 1 should have asked norhincr better than to retire to the desert island with just one complete set for rnmnanionsriin. Dear, ffood Boz. With his kindly, comfortable humor, his care- fullv-drawn pictures of the masses, and his highly satirical sketches of the classes ! Here, too, was a set of Thackeray, and one of Scott, and another of George Eliot. There was a set of small volumes comprising the works of Eugene Sue, and near by I found rows of well- bound volumes by those pioneer novel ists Fielding, Sterne and Tobias Smollett There was history, too. by the great literary historians Carlyle, Guizot . and Macaulay. Our own Stevenson was there, witn Hawthorne and Washington Irving as his genial companions. So was Kipling, the great immortal of our own day. What a perfect place to be shipwrecked if we must submit to such a fate. . On one of the tables in the salesroom I found paper-bound copies of the latest French novels and cleverly illustrated editions of French plays. There were German books, too, in more dignified bindings. Sudermann, Feibig, Keller and others dear to the German hearts. All of these and many more to be found in the lower gallery. Speaking of the French reminds me of the D'Orsay perfumes on the first floor, for which this store is exclusive distributers now. They come in ex- quisite glass bottles, delicately patterned in gold or with' a solitary, mother-of-pearl medallion, and contain most exquisite odors. Quite the most splen did thing one could imagine was a cylin der-shaped bottle with a silver frieze of Greek dancers around its base. A glass cap fitted over the top stopper and all for the "Parfum des Vio- lettes," which it contained, is very rare and precious. Over in the men's wear store they were showing the new English sweater jackets of fine Angora wool. They are incredibly soft to touch, but they have the necessary "heft" to make them warm. They come in two-toned effects and "heather mixtures" decidedly London-made, and the most luxurious thing in the way of a sweater that could be devised. Of course, they were de signed for men, but what's to prevent the women from having them? And have them they do, for milady seldom overlooks anything as beautiful and serviceable as these softly-woven jack ets. They are made by Welsh, Mar guctson & Co., of London. A few moments spent in the station ery department will convince you that a "box of letter-paper" is no longer the commonplace gift that it used to be. Individuality in one's stationery is the cry of the hour, arid here are writing sheets and envelopes fit to bear the missive of a Du Barry or a Pompadour. We Have the Honor of Announcing Our Appointment As Exclusive Distributers FOR THE PRODUCTIONS OF ' J. R. HUNT & CO., OF LONDON - HHjotoerprocf 0berh?ear We show you these garments with pride.

Hunt's waterproofs hold a distinctly unique position in London, and are accepted in Europe as the standard for correct style and elegance. Tailoring and workmanship are the best.
