the bride's parents, January 25, iHUn,
by Umv. W. I). Williams, Mr. Arthur
C. Warner and Mix Olive Hickman,
both of Oregon t'ily.
One of the prettiest home weddings of
the season took place at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Hickman In Oregon
City on Tuesday evening, January 2,
when Olive, youngest (laughter of the
house became the wife of Arthur Warner,
ol Mt I'leasuiit.
As the clock struck eight, Miss Helen
Riggs seated herself at the piano, and as
the mimic of Mendelssohn's wedding
march filled the air, the bridal party
entered the parlors, proceeded by little
Wanda Ralston as rlngbearer. The im
pressive ceremony of the Episcopal
church was used and a courtship which
began almost In childhood culminated
in a life long union, After the ceremony
the happy couple led the way into the
dining room, where a dainty luncheon
was spread. The guest cards were beau
tiful and unique, being pen sketched by
Miss Ella lioehlke, with appropriate
quotations as to time and personage and
will long be prised by 'the recipients as
souvenir of the occasion. The bride
waa elegantly gowned in dark green
broadcloth, trimmed wito fur and lace,
with an inserted yoke of white broad
cloth elaborately braided, and she
carried a boquet of white carnations.
The groom was dressed in the customary
evening suit and looked the proud and
happy man who had won the jewel long
coveted. The dining room was tastefully
decorated In smllax ana white carna
tions, intermingled with orange bloom
and lemon branches laden with fruit;
the parlors were dressed In palms and
red pepper berries. The decorations
were gilts of friends from tropical Cali
fornia. Alter luncheon the evening was spent
in music and convocation and at an
early hour the bride and groom left amid
showers of rice and good wishe for their
future home at Mt. Pleasant, where the
groom has prepared and furnit-hed a
beautiful home called "The Lilacs," and
where they will be al home to their
Iriends on Wednesdays after February
13th.
These young people have grown to
manhood and womanhood In Oregon
City and their many friends are glad to
know that in the future they will still be
w ith us. Mr. and Mrs. Warner were the
recipients of many beautiful and useful
gifts.
Those present were: Mrs. Arthur
Warner, mother of the groom, Rev. Dr,
Williams, Mrs. King and Master Arthur
King of Ilwaco, Wash., Mr. and Mrs.

of very serious consideration for those

designed that will tueoi a long felt

that the wardrobe stands some 1 1 feet
in height, 8 feet 8 inches In breadth and
is 18 inches deep. Two shelves are add
ed one at a distance of 12 inches from
the top, the other 10 inches from the
bottom, the latter being supported by
two or three blocks of wood, which sep
arate the pigeonholes holding day and
evening shoes. The top of the wardrobe
is finished with a 6 inch molding,
and close beneath this is a thm rod,
opon which a curtain is suspended, the
material and color depending upon the

Mirror and Women.
In Loudon Truth Sirs. Emily Craw
ford puts forward a theory which seems
so pluusible and logical that it is aston
ishing no one should have thought of
formulating it before. Mrs. Crawford
note that, according to the evidence
furnished in old paintings, grace of
bearing and of dress in women was con
spicuously lacking in the period before
large mirrors were generally used. By
a careful comparison of dates she finds
that a marked improvement in this par
ticular immediately followed the intro
duction of the mirror. From this she
infer that it is the large mirror which
haa been the magic agency in beautify
ing womankind and causing her to be
graceful and well dressed.
Since a woman is responsible for the
theory, it may not be uugallunt to won
der what the ladies of the nineteenth
century probably would look like hud
it not been for the mirror. The mirror
did not supply a deficiency in taste, of
course. Ao one will dure insinuate that
taste wasn't inborn in the very first of
her sex. But there had been nothing by
which to try standards of taste. The
woman was at the mercy of her dress
maker or dependent upon the criticisma
of ber friends. It is easy to figure out
that had not the large mirror changed
all this, allowing a woman to see her
self full length, to note the effect of
poise and gesture and to correct blem
ishes, the nineteenth century maiden
would have been far different The
stylish effect of tho natty shirt waist,
the intentional coquetry of the bonnet,
the length and "hang" of the bicycle
skirt, would have been out of the ques
tion. Woman would have been a vic
tim of her tailor' ingenuity.
It may not be carrying the point too
far to argue thnt inusmuch as mutters
and morals are so intimately related the
mirror must have been responsible for
much of the development of the race.
The mirror added to the arts of woman,
and those artB have beeu used with un
questioned success to provoke marriage,
incite conspiracies, beguile beings and
breuk up thrones. Woman' dress and
manners being less refined, the manners
of men would be rough iu even greater
degree. The whole civilization would
be resting on a lower plane. And all for
lack of some large squares of glass
bucked with tinfoil I This may be strain
ing a point, but it follows logically
from Mrs. Crawford' interesting dis
covery. Vet there is something the matter
with this mirror theory. For large mir
rors abounded in the days of hoopnkirts
tind bustles.
Dommtio Science.
In a recent lecture in Boston Profess
or Lucy M. Sulmon of Vassur college
said:
"Dress, disease and domestics have
boon con u tod by the cynic as composing
all the interestsof womankind. The bi
cycle haa become a formidable competi
tor of dress, aud biology is wrestling
with disease and bids fair to be the vic
tor. Domestics still hold the field, but
if business methods are introduced into
the household the interests of women !
will have passed on and upward from
three D' to three B's. From the gen-
eral eoonomio discussion the household j
has been, in the main, cut off, largely
because it has been considered as be-
longing to the realm of seutimeut rather i
than of business; because the household i
has shrunk from all agitation and dig- '
cussion of the question with which it ia '
-y m wm i sahf I f I
iinairVfiLVL
'iSfc
Immediately oonoemed; because it has
refused to see that progress Is condition
al on thla agitation. and discussion. It
is this very aloofness that constitutes
today tho most serious obstacle in the
way of any improvement in domentio
service -tho failure on the part of men
and women everywhere to recognize
that the occupation is governed by eco
nomic law, that it i bound op inextri
cably with every other phase of the la
bor question, and that the initial step
toward Improvement must be the recog
nition of this fact Housekeeper every
where resent what tbey deem infer
ence with their personal affairs; tbey
betray an ill concealed Irritation when
the economiosids of the question is pre
sented them and believe if their own
household machinery runs smoothly
that no friction exist anywhere, and
that their own responsibility haa ceased.
"Nothing is so characteristic of wom
en as a class a their inability, to as
sume an impersonal attitude toward
any subject under discussion, while in
methods tbey are prone to work from
day to day, and seldom plan for results
to be reached year after a project ha
been set on foot. Tbia means that be
fore any improvement in household af
fairs can come the attitude of mind with
which tbey are approached most under
go a radical change. Both men and wo
men most recognize the analogy be
tween domestic service and the other
forms of labor and must work not for
more competent cooka and parlor maids
in their iudividnal households, not for
any spexdfio change for the bett-r to-
morrow, but for improvement in the,
system for the benefit of subsequent
generations."
Womca aa Orator.
"Women are the world' natural
orators," said Mrs. Lillie Devereux
Blake in a recent interview. "A good
conversationalist makes a good public
speaker. There are many brilliant con
versationalists among women. Only the
exceptional man talk well.
"Opportunity and practice are the
two most essential qnalities for an
orator. The reason there are not more
women orators is that there have been
no opportunities. To be a successful
speaker one must be very much in
earnest. One' thoughts must be clearly
and logically expressed, but they must
well up Irom the heart men one must
study. The beginner always emphasizes
the unimportant words, dwells on the
'ands,' 'huts' and 'thes' and smothers
the word which is the keynote of her
sentence in a muffled voice. One should
be full of one's subject, know how to
deliver one' words and then as far aa
possible forget self and think only of
speech and audience. As the Romans
said, 'A poet is born, not made, but an
orator is made at the expense of his au
dience,' and every public speaker would
do well to bear that in mind. When I
first began speaking in public, I used to
go out Into the highways and hedges for
my audiences. A gathering of people
meant for me only an assemblage of lis
teners. All this was excellent training
and taught me more about the human
mind than any amount of book lore pos
sibly could.
"The orator must learn to speak to a
great houseful of people whose eyes are
riveted on her face, whose ears are open
for every word and whose opinions are
to he formed or altered by her presenta
tion of ideas. ' Phrases that seem full of
music when addressed to the marble
bust on your mantelpiece, ideas that
seem like the wisdom of ages embalmed
in poetic words when hurled at your
book shelves, frequently become flat,
lifeless and wordy when the inspiration
of solitude is gone and yon see hundreds
of faces turned toward you. To be a
successful public speaker one must go
into training a course quite as careful,
rigorous and exacting aa the training
which develops biceps, reduces avoirdu
pois or makes an adept in any special
branch."
Flower la tha Sitting Room.
There is no more beautiful decora
tion for a sitting room or reception room
than growing flowers, yet, owing to a
curious prejudice that flowers will not
grow in winter, they are rarely to be
met in American homes. The slightest
experiment will show that the preju
dice has practically no basis. The ex
quisite Chinese narcissus, known as the
Chinese Mew Year's lily, grows and
blossom only in the winter season. In
the spring it dies down to the bulb,
and during the summer it is seemingly
dead. It requires no earth, the best way
of growing it being to place it on a lot
of white pebbles in a bowl or platter
and half covering these with water.
The hyacinth thrives particularly well
in the hyacinth glass. Several kinds of
ivy and other vines grow rupidly with
in doors in rooms that are only moder
ately warm, while of roses and other
flowers which do well within doors
their name is legion.
Our southern cousins pay more atten
tion to this form of household art than
we do. . They have a pleasant fad for
handsome flowerpots, and instead of
the earthenware ones so familiar in this
part of the country they employ porce
luin, stone, china, Chinese and Japa
fcese ware. In mauy oases where plants
ueed the air, which passes through red
earthenware, they put the containing
pot of the latter material iuside of a
handsomely painted and modeled pot of
I china or porcelain. Amoug the plants
: to be found in southern homes grown in
' this manner are the hardier forms of
1 palms, of ferns, and among the wealthy
1 of tree ferns, the subtropical orchids,
, the rose, many lilies, the chrysunthe
' mum, aster and pink, the smilux, Japa
1 nese ivy and Gcrumu ivy and any num- i
ber of dwarf pines, firs, spruces and ce
dars. Pittsburg Dispatch.
They Ar Good Architect!.
"The reason why women will make
good practical architects, " said a bright
professional woman at a recent Kew
York olub meeting, "ia because they

everything arranged ao thut as a whole
it is as convenient as it I possUJo to
make it. The gas fixture is not placed
in some bank comer behind a door,
where nobody would ever think of look
ing for or wanting a light; the wait
lines are not to broken up with doora,
windows, eto., that there is no room
for the necessary furniture; tho doE
are not hung in such an awkward man

window or gas fixtures; the space for
the dresser is not left on the side of tha
room farthest from the light ; the closet
