Lavey,' the real. estate man has returned fFCm a month spent in Kansas where he delivered lectures before thousands of " people .with stereoptloon on Oregon. . He has broken all records by disposing of a quarter of a million dollars worth of real estate during the past year. He did this against opposition of the Portland Real Estate Trusts. That started In to put him under the sod, but it's bard to do that trick with a live American of Irish decent.' Your correspondent met "Old Man Wiggins," better known as tha father of Fred Wiggins,. He is doing a nice, safe little real fstata business here. He is one of the few, "dyed in the wool" church members that I have ever met who acknowledge that making the saloon business pub lic aad having licensed and regulated saloons on the open business streets, with open doors and no screens at the windows was a "much better solnttoa of the problem than prohibi tion aa ddriving the traffic Into the, hands of boot loggers.

The senior has been forty years - on tha coast and over thirty years in Portland. He baa six tons and two daughters, five of the former being In business with blm. He is the ptonoer and original Installment merchant, and from bis two large stores you can buy anything from a set of silver-' ware to furnishings for a hotel and pay from $4.00 to 910.00 per week. To get an idea af the tlie of this business, up to December 1st, this firm supplied furniture for 110 hotels and apartment bouses in Port land and-the Northwest. Mr. Oevurtt is an original char acter and many of his sayings would be worth quoting. Cblded by one of the boys for his liberality la eub-t scribing to so many charitable en terprises he said: "What is the use to be mean about It? It don't pay to act mean under any circumstances? What I have made herei made out of the public. ' Every family in Port land has helped to make me what I am. No matter how rich we become, the feeling of grab la still with us.

It remained for a well known Btnger to carry the craze for plain skimped skirts to its legitimate conclusion. On a dare from a famous French dressmaker, It Is said she appeared on Fifth Ave nue a short time slncaln a meal bag dress divided at the foot after Turk ish trouser fashion, but there Is lit tle likelihood of this style gaining favor here. The very latest in skirts is a veritable freak. The "uneven" skirt which is either long at the sides and shorter front and back, or reverses , this arrangement. So far few have been made but that several of these should have appeared is sur prising, when one knowa how much stress has always been laid 'on hav ing the bottom of the skirt even. Tt does not seem probable that .this I tea were formerly employed. For the corsage nestled in the fur muff or stole or tucked in among the feather or fur' trimmings of the. hat bewitching little bunches or sprays of ribbon rosebuds, or button roses nestle becomingly and many will be the pleased recipients of a "Christ mas Rose" or two In this graceful form ready to be used as fancied. For the girls' are busy making up lovely counterfeits of those shown in the shop at a small fraction of their cos' since the taste and skill of their making is the main item of expense Lovely New Neckwear. The novelties In neckwear are many but few have caught on 1U? the velvet straps about eighteen inche lon tested at tha cutis with hanging buds made up in sutln, with a wide open rose about two Inches above where the ends cross and form a sort of necklace necktie worn over frilly jabots of Irish lace or embroidered linen. Neckties made of round satin piping adorned with' the .flowers are rather better style for older women. These finish at. the front with long loops of the round satin and'the same floral ap pendages which are often in lilac or white or old blue with green stems and calyx. . LUCY CARTER. y !

Black velvet is the Up of the mode for all sorts of wear from the plain tailored velveteen or corduroy to the evening gown of softest chiffon tex ture. Detachable Trains. Trains are In again but they are narrow and skimped in effect, and the best one are separate from the skirt of the dress, like long box pleats. These are often detachable, and can be thrown over the arm In dancing In very convenient and graceful fashion. IWIts and Duckies. Beaded belts to match or con trast with the dress, and belts of brocade picked out with beads or tinsel threads, as well as buckles formed of similar materials edged with heavy tarnished cords, are lead ers here, and the college girls still cling to the monogram buckles and fobs with crushed belts of velvet or ook or patent leather.

The Christmas Dinner. In spite of the fact that tho word "dyspepsia" moans literally bad cook, it will not be fair for many to lay the blame on the cook If they begin the Christmas Dinner with lit tle appetite and end It with distress or nausea'. ' It may not be fair for any to do thai let us hope so for the ake of the cook!
