NEIGHBORHOOD CLUB NEWS.
! A unique and interesting program
is being prepared to be given next
Tuesday evening in the Neighborhood
club room at the public library. The
"History of Our Country1" will " be
given in ipoetry, music and tableaux,
and a program of illustrated songs
and poenis representing the different
epochs of our nation's 'history.
After itfhe program a social hour
will be enjoyed enabling the new and
old members of the club to become bet
ter acquainted. No doubt there will
be a large attendance as club mem
bers, are allowed to bring guests.
A silver offering will be made at
this time to the Scholarship Loan
Fund. This fund is maintained by
the Women's clubs of Oregon for the
assistance of young women who wish
to go to college but might otherwise
e unable to qo so and is considered
the major work of the federated clubs
of the state.
A full program of the entertain
ment for next Tuesday evening will
be published later. .
The Neighborhood club met at the
club room January 18 and at the
close of the business period, a pro
gram was rendered, concerning Scan
dinavia and its people.
. The countries of Sweden, Norway
and Denmark were included in this
topic, which was so successfully
handled by Mrs. T. E. Pierson.
The Church and State are so close
ly allied in Sweden that the ministers,
are supported from the taxes. Sweden
has no saloons; children must be
clean before coming into school.
Women were given the right of suf
frage in Norway (n 1907; must be 25
years old and reside in Norway five
years before voting.
The Legend of the Flag of Den
mark was of great interest. The Mes
sage of Ibsen's "The Master Builder,"
and a synopsis of this beautiful
story, was given in a very interesting
manner by Mrs. Stella Ingle. After
a careful study of the different char
acters represented in this story, Mrs.
Ingle made very plain the fact that
all have just such characters about U3
in the every day walks of life even
to the "Master Builder" and those
that build "Air Castles." '
"Greig and his Music" was discussed
by Mrs. Archie Bacon. The life of
this great composer was beautifully
portrayed iby Mrs. Bacon. He was
born in Norway and his mother, being
a noted musician, gave Urn early
training, later ne was a graduate
of Leipsig conservatory of music and
many of the best musical numbers are
from the pen of this great composer.
A piano solo (Peer Gynt, Suite 1,
Op. 46) was played by Mrs. W. W.
Berry. iLa Granders well know the

efficiency of Mrs. Berry as a pianist
and when the selection comes from
the pen of ao grand a composer as
Greig there can be nothing added to'
express the appreciation of the club.
' Owing to a sovere cold Mrs. A. L.
Richardson was unable to give her
vocal numbers but very cheerfully
volunteered a description of Greig's
wonderful ability displayed in the
composing of 'Peer Gynt-and what
his dramas have meant to the best of
American actors. Mrs. . Richardson
closed her talk in a clever manner by
showing what may be expressed by
a joke. :
During the afternoon the attention
of the club was called to the need of
feeding the birds during the winter
and each member was urged to place
food where they will find it.
The O. A. C. Extension course will
be held in La Grande the first week
in February and the Neighborhood
club is planning to aid in every pos
sible way, "this helpful work in the
community; the next number in the

HAWiAIIANS ARE COMING.
1 The singers and players who are to
appear at the Y. M. C. A. on Monday
evening, Jan. 31st, are without a
doubt, the most talented that Ha
waiia has yet sent to us. Carefully
selected from among-the many ex
cellent musicians of those islands, they
were sent to the Panama-Pacific ex
position to represent their country at
the Hawaiian exhibit While there
they delighted thousands with the
quaint, haunting music of their na
tive land. Wishing to see the scenic ;
uuawuca ul America ueiure returning
to their homeland, they arranged for
a concert tour, thus giving the ceonle
of this city an opportunity to see and
near these wonderful musicians.

Jumper Dress of Serge.
New York, Jan. 22. Even the most
skeptical among us must be thrilled
and interested by the attractive novel
ties Fashion is now placing on her
spring counters, and in her spring
shops. For instance there are the
quaint bonnets which aie being dis
played at the moment in our millin
ery departments, as a .logical se
quence of the modish gathered and
flaring skirts. .
Fluttering about one of these bon
nets, a fascinating creation of garnet
braid and white gardenias, in one of
our smart shops the other afternoon,
was a quaintly .smart little person,
dressed all in gray. She wore one of
the new faille suits, made with a
rather close fitting coat, flaring widely
at Hhe lower edge, combined with the
most modern of old-fashioned skirts.
It was a veritable "pull-back," having
all of the fulness drawn to the back
and held by a tape fastened at the side
seams fitting as smoothly and plain
ly across the front as the narrowest
of skirts did some seasons back. From
belt to hem in back, the skirt was stif
fened with haircloth, causing the ful
ness to fall in several outstanding
folds. At the involuntary upward and
downward glance she induced, one ex
pected to see a pair of extremely high
French heels on silverbuckled slip
pers, or a high-crowned, flower
trimmed chapeau.
! As the small person ' continued on
her way from counter to counter, the
skirt swung in true, hoop-skirt fash-1
ion, which it must be admitted was
quite fascinating. ' '
The Annual Sale of White.
."'At this season of - the year, of
course,' one expects to find the shops
veritable bowers of white; to find the
most fascinating of cottons, suggest
ed tfor summer frocks, and . to be
charmed by the airy blouses, parasols,
and other articles designed, as it
seems, for wear in Fairyland itself.
The white sale this year is consider
ably mixed with pink and the other
soft tones which have been gradually
coining into favor for underwear the
last few seasons.'. There . are, the .
daintiest possible combinations, chem
ises, camisoles, and the numerous
other underflttlngs which go so far
: toward the success of frock or euH.
Silk mull, and other soft cottons vie
for favor with the more expensive
Italian silk. , All of these silks and
cottons wash excellently and require
no ironing. While the silk garments
are at first a trifle expensive for the-'
majority of purses, in the end they
are economical ; they fit so well, wear
so well and are generally so entirely
satisfactory.
: The Vogue of White. V
White will be quite as modish for
skirt, suit and frock this season as it'
has been for the past summer or two.
Senge, gabardine, and broadcloth are
smart for those who can afford more
than one frock or suit, but for the
practical woman cotton corduroy in
its various coTds will be far more
practical; it may be easily and effec
tively tubbed when soiled. These cor
duroys come in the paile pinks, blues.
yellows, and -similar tones lor seo-
arate skirts, suits, and sport coats or
blouses. :. v .v. ; .-.; i,.; l
Among the season's novelties is the
house coat; it closely resembles the
sport coat or blouse, and could in fact
be used for the same purposes, but it
has ibeen designed for house wear, to
take the place, as it were, of the ki
mono, with the woman who does not
aare for, or who has not the time to
indulge in, the luxury of so complete a
negligee as a kimono, or similar loose
fitting house robe. These are being -developed
in the colored cotton cor
duroys, and -in like corded cottons.
They are finished with wide collars, -deep,
roomy pockets, and are loosely
belted.' Combined with skirts of white
linen, duck, khaki, or cotton corduroy,
they are excellently suited to morning
wear and the house. -Continued
Popularity of the Jumper.
The jumper dress or blouse is one
of the most satisfactory notions in
troduced for many seasons; instead of
losing favor because of its general
ppulurity, it is on the contrary, be
coming daily more in demand. 'For
business, street, and general daytime
wear, the dark blue serge jumper
frock combined with an underblouse
of crepe de Chine, Georgette, or black
satin,' is most satisfactory. The fact
that the underblouse may be changed,
and the frock so varied, makes its
appeal to women who like a change
now and then, ibut who cannot afford
a great number of frocks.
' Satin or taffeta blouses or jumpers,
with sleeves of a transparent or con
trasting material arc sfcill . .being
worn for afternoons and more dressy
occasions, combined with skirts of
taffeta, faille or satin.

LODGE AFFAIRS.
Odd Fellows far and near are plan

Hall, of Marshfield, pays his official
visit to the La Grande Lodge. . Re -bekahs
are cordially invited, and a
delightful visit is anticipated.
'Thursday evening was an important
event in the annals of Woodcraft and
auxilary circles. A' joint installation,
attended by about 150 people, was the
chief order of business. The Roynl
Neighbors installed their offices
through Mrs. Garst who displayed
keen insight and ability in lodge af
fairs during the work. Mrs. L. M.
Hoyt was ceremonial marshal for the
occasion. Bert Oakman, former dis
trict deputy head consul, was the in
stalling officer of the Woodman lodge
officials. A special feature of the
evening was a short drill by the
Neighboi-s' drill team which was pol
ished and clever.

The knights expect to be there with

A mystery stag is booked for Loy
al Order of Moose next Tuesday even

held followed by a social event. That
the officers have something real cute
up their sleeves is admitted, but what
it is the members will find out only
by being there. Blanket warrants
have been sworn out for all members
and if they are not there, the process
servers will round them out. There is
no funeral dirge 6n the program, and
laugh and grow fat is the slogan for
the evening. The secretary is close
and nothing is leaking out as to just
what it is there that will be pulled off
Tuesday night.
