Coming Show A Good One (Continued from page one ) Bouton, as Mrs. Talcott, the widow, is the best Portlanders- have seen in the past. She is graceful as a dancer and sings sufficiently well, to which may be added an attractive personal ity and appearance, Miss Bou ton owned the audience in the second act. Jessie Houston is 'the girl" and made a commend able showing. The principals are well balanced, affording an even, uniform performance. Of the eleven song numbers, there are seven, decidedly catchy, and fhese are encored freely. The scenery is well taken care of and the costumes are not shabby." The Journal:-"This sparkl ing musical play has a real plot, an almost unheraled event in its world. Since its successful ap pearance in Portland last year, an introduction to "The Time; The Place and the Girl" is hardly necessary, and the audience last night was an enthusiastic attest ation that the charms of the play are of the unfailing variety. Several- love affairs and decid edly interesting situations de velop, all to the steady accom paniment of excellent music , by even more excellently drilled choruses, and a running vein of genuine comedy." 1 The Oregonian: The "chorus is of the usual far west brand in appearance, but can sing. Set tings and costumingare of pleas- ing quality. , In all particulars, the little play is a worthy entertainment, entitled to the overworked in dorsement usually inspired by the presence of "mirth and mel ody." V Booster Girls' Glorious Trip (Continued! from page one ) ; Pacific Grove By rail from Monterey along the rocky edge of the bay and two mltes toward the ocean the party will reach Pacific Grove, ,the objectiye during the year for any number of educa- tional, fraternal and religious bodies with annual meetings at hand. Before this town is the J6 bay and h ocefn' behind it the green depnts of a pine forest Between the rocky points below are little sheltered inlets with . tiny individual j beaches good bathing in rain bow waters real basking places, with the sleepy song of the sea, siren-like, wooing the mind away irom an cares. Jtiere is jascm at ing community of Chinese fishers in their, rambling; scrambling village on rocks, with sea-grey driftwood houses along their n 11 TT . . twisting lanes and great brown nets spread out like drying sea- weed- Here in the mingled breath of sea ' and forest the party will stop a short time and take the wonderful seventeenmile drive; which will be written of in Monday's issue.

"Too long have the 'college' boys of the entire nation been allowed to indulge in this ridicu lous custom of smoking, simply because it was' a fad that origi: nated in the brains of some young dudefied scions of multi millionaires in the East, where the so-called great educational places of learning are located, y "It certainly does not add to the appearance of any young man or youth to carry a pothook shaped pipe between his teeth or inhale into his mouth and chest the vile smoke from a dun-colored, paper-covered roll of second-hand tobacco and then emit the greater portion of it through his nose into the faces of his companions or whomever he may be in the presence of. "Too, many fathers and mothers ef the present day are permitting their sons to indulge in such a nefarious custom, to the injury of their health in more ways than one."

During the years in"' which our puiv. food' laws have been put: into" effect there has been a great hurrying and scurrying on the part of the food man ufacturers to change their methods to make them conform to the law. The Quaker Oats Company is a con spicuous exception. It was admitted that Quaker Oats was as pure and clean as possible and that it was an ideal food.- Itis so cheap that any one can af- ford it and so nourishing that every- one needs it. The result of last yearns experiments at Yale and other points where food values were tested, is that Quaker Oats has been adopted by many persons as their food on which i tetor adding vigor and endur I v w.

Monday Night, September 27 When Linen Is Translucent. y The whiteness and opacity of- dry linen. as of writing paper, are .due mainly to the fact of repeated reflec tions at the surface, so that jLhe light is wasted in tbese everberations before it can reach to any depth! The body of linen is a network of transparent fibers not in optical contact which intercept the light by repeatedly reflexlng it Now, ifthe interstices of these fibers are filled by. a body of the same refrac tive index as the fibers themselves the reflexion of the surface is destroyed and the linen is rendered' more trans parentv .Water does, this; hence linen when wet is darker., but more trans-, lucent just as is the oiled paper used for tracings by architects and engi neers. The same holds good 'with ordi nary glass and ground glass, the re peated reflections of the latter making It far less transparent. To a similar cause are due the whiteness and opac ity oS snow, of salt and of pulverized An Entertaining Catbird. -Nothing escapes the eye of our pet catbird, for lit is. curiosity personi fied. He wants to know the why and wherefore, of everything that is a lit tle strange and does not rest until he has found out When let out in a room he will carefully "examine every nook and cornet? He is a$ inveterate joker and delights to play jokes op I fellow prisoners.' while his sense of humor is almost human at times. - The pincushion is a constant wonder and delight to him. He flies to it as soon as let out of his cage and either pulls the pins all out or drives them Into the cushion as far as possible. lfbB)J pulls them out. he hops to tne ejige of the tabte and drops them on the floor, flirting his tail and uttering a note of great ; satisfaction when they strike the floor. Suburban Life. How He Felt. He was an Englishman of the ultra sort and recently arrived, but he was striving strenuously to catch up with' American idioms and New York slang. He had made some progress. "He loomed lip iu 4he breakfast room of his hotel the other morning after a too convivial evening and encountered one of his companions. ' "How do you feel, old chap?" asked the latter. "Feel?" repeated the Englishman. "Feel? Oh. yes, I see what you mean. old fellow." Well, really, don't you know. I feel like one and six." "Like what?" , ; "Like one and six.' as you chaps say here. No! Hold on, there! I mean 30 cents, you know;, feel like 30 cents. Yes." New York Globe. s . Convenient.
