CHINESE TO PRESENT
NEW YEAR ACTIVITIES
Cosmopolitans to be Hosts
For Unique Affair
The Chinese students will give n
celebration of the Chinese [New
■Year, Friday evening at a meeting
of the cosmopolitan club, which will
be open to the public. Chinese mu
sic, refreshments and fireworks in
honor of the season are to be fea
tures of the evening.
New Year is the greatest holiday
in China, lasting as it does for near
ly two weeks. The festivals in
honor of the season vary in the va
rious parts of the country.
In preparation for this great holi
day, houses are cleaned, new charms
bought to keep off evil spirits, and
the best of clothing of the family
is brought out and looked over. As
New Year approaches, the princi
pal amusement is flying kites.
These are- admirably made, repre
senting birds, beasts, and fishes.
Each kite has a tiny acolian instru
ment attached. The sight of these
weird monsters humming in the air
is said to be very interesting.
In preparation for New Year’s
day many lanterns are also bought,
varying in form from a semblance
of a bouquet of flowers to a fiery
dragon. These are placed on sale
in the Street of Lanterns and are
bought in quantities.
The fifteenth day of the ftrst
moon is the Feast of Lanterns.
Each bouse, however poor, has at
least one paper lantern suspended
on a long polo from the roof. When
these are lighted, the whole city
takes on a strange boauty. The lan
terns go out soon, but revelry and
fireworks continue far into the
night.
A quaint custom of Chinese mer
chants is to bo seen early New
Year’s day. This is the time when
debts are settled and accounts paid
off. Men go around from early
morning with a lighted lantern,
which is not put out until the last
bill is paid. Nothing but peace
and good will is supposed to carry
over into tho new year.

Gay, Fantastic Colorings
Mark Clara Stephen’s Work
Paintings of Bare Merit Now on
Display at Art Museum
For those people who are reached
by gay, fantastic colorings, by the
dreams and air castles of Spain,
there is great treasure in store; for
those who are touched by reality
dressed in the gay garments of
spring and summer and fall, in the
reds of a summer sunset, the mauves
and purples of a fall twilight, the
greens of clover fields, for them
too, there are delights in store, if
they have not already seen the col
lection of oil and water paintings
done by Clara Jane Stephens, which
are now on exhibit in the art mu
seum of the art building.
Miss Stephens, who is an instruc
tor in the Portland art museum at
present, has recognized ability as
an artist, last year having won a
prize at the Northwestern Art Ex
hibit.
There is a sophisticated style
about her work that draws and
holds the attention. Is it the free
dom from conventional designs, or is
it the daring mixture of colors,
vivid, varied, yet always comple
mentary, that fascinates? One can
not say, for pictures cannot be
analyzed by formulas, or measured
by rules. But, one can say that
anyone who misses this exhibit of
pictures of which none are priced
lower than $150 and some as high
as $4000, has missed a chance to
test his ability at adaptation to the
unusual; and more, he has missed
a rare opportunity to see how an
artist can express herself in pic
tures that are as varied as the
ocean in a summer breeze and in a
winter storm.
