WOMAN AND HER WORK
W,R3 APPRECIATION OP MR.
COOK'S LIBERALITY.
Secretarr Sinclair Tells "What Is Be-
lxrsr Done for Girls In Dayton,
Ohio.
Many -expressions of "warm, appreciation
(have Jbeen, .Jaearxi irom womankind tills
ppust week" on Mr. Cook's generous, pro
vision for their Interests In the proposed
industrial school. The public-spirited
women of Oregon who are alive to the
needs of the growing generation of work
ers regard It. as an act of courtesy and
good will which Is at once liberal and
wise, and as such Is sure to be fruitful of
good, not to women alone, but to the en
tire community. r
TWO SCHOOLS OF HOME SCIENCE
Uad Y. M. C. A. Classes TVill Soon Be
Opened.
Mr. .Sinclair, of Dayton, O., the advocate
of manual training and general secretary
of the X. M. C. A., was asked the other
day concerning the provision that has
been made for the technical training of
women in Dayton, a town, that contains a
population of alout S5.O0O, or about 11,000
less than Portland. Be replied:
"There are two successful organizations
that have schools of domestic science for
women. Doth of these are in homes of
their own. The property of the Women's
Christian Association is valued at 575,000;
that of the Toung "Women's Deague at
$35,000. The two organizations are very
similar in character, but the former puts
greater emphasis on Christian work than
the latter, which is largely educational.
Both conduct classes In the commercial
branches, dressmaking, millinery, cooking
and the various branches of housekeeping,
especially sewing. The money for the sup
port of each organization comes to it from
tiie membership fees and the class fees.
In addition to the work just outlined each
of these condupts a restaurant of its own,
and a woman's exchange.
"In the Women's Christian Association
there are a great many girls of wealthy
parents taking courses In home science;
and it is a very encouraging feature of the
work that they recognize the necessity
for doing this. The .League has a member
ship composed largely of young working
women, but wealthy women are found In
both organizations. It is extremely Im
portant in such work that all appearance
of patronage should be eliminated. We
have found it to advantage for the women
of wealth to place the management of af
fairs as largely as possible In the hands
of the working women. In this way their
interest and enthusiasm are aroused, and
it Is wonderful how rapidly the responsi
hlllty develops their powers for successful
administration.
"In addition to these two schools we
are now planning to -open certain of our
Y,-3LC A. manual training classes to
womeiE. It la plainly to our advantage to
do this, as a matter of pure business,
since teachers that formerly were em
ployed only in the evening with young
men will, under this new arrangement, be
kept busy henceforth with day classes for
girls also. It is easier and cheaper for us
to obtain good teachers under such con
ditions. We are, therefore, actuated large
ly by motives of economy. For we hold
that in order to succeed one should use
the same methods In philanthropy as In
'business. We are going to make this
change because It will pay us to do so.
"Since there seems to be a wish here
In Portland to give training to women
In home science and the Industrial
hranches, the first step to be taken to
ward it, I should say. Is to organize a
committee of women who shall undertake
the responsibility of investigating local
condltons and studying the needs of the
city, putting themselves closely in touch
with the working women. This is ery
essential, the foundation, in fact, of the
whole work."
PORTLAND FLOWER MISSION.
Sun&hine and Noses-ays at the Bis
Hospitals.
It is always a bright day at the hos,
nltol when the young women of the
Flower Mission visit it. Their sunshiny
laces are better than a dose of medicine,
so the nurses say, with a genial twinkle
of the eye. And the patients think so, too;
but they don't say it, they merely look
it, with all their heart in their poor, fever
ish eyes, which have almost forgotten
How to twinkle.
There is the obstreperous old man, who
is so very sick, yet insists upon being pur
on the operating table and cut Into with
out any cocaine to deaden the pain. All
the bravery oozes out of him at the sweet,
enraatuTing breath of the tiny bunch or
violets that Is placed upon his pillow; a
sudden lump comes Into his throat; he
hasn't voice enough even to say "thank
you," and can only roll his poor, old head
oyer to the wall so no one can see him
forsake his colors.
As the kind-faced young women pass
from ward to ward with cheering smiles
and pTefcty, bantering words for the chil
dren, they leave pleasant whiffs of frag
rance in their wake here a big, loose
pctaled rose, with a golden heart, there
a scarlet, deep-fringed carnation. And
everywhere thankful eyes follow them.
It Is somewhat over 10 years since the
Flower Mission began its work. So quiet
ly and unostentatiously has it progressed
that few except invalids are aware of the
existence of the organization. Yet at the
time the Red Cross nurses were sent to
Manila, the larger part of the funds that
enabled them to go was raised by these
energetic young women.
It is strictly non-sectarian. There are
now about 45 members, of which 30 are
active workers. Once in two weeks these
visit the charges they have adopted. Every
other Wednesday they meet at the Uni
tarian chapel and Teport. The freshness
of enthusiasm shown at these meetings
is contagious. There Is not a dull nor un
sympathetic member present, and the
funny and pathetic stories that are told
would make an Interesting book, but,
like many of the best things In life, they
never see print.
Whenever there Is a Christmas tree the
hospital children are always sure to be
remembered by the FlOwer Mission. An
the great holidays are observed by them.
Sometimes a musical afternoon Is the pro
gramme; at other times there is reading
of a droll story, that makes everybody
laugh.
Just at present an "autograph quilt" Is
being made for the Patton Home for Old
I.ad4es. Each little autograph square of
white muslin, that bears in scarlet the
initials of the donor, Is paid for, and the
money derived from the entire quilt is to
be used in furnishing a "flower-room"
at the Home.
The officers of the Flower Mission are:
Miss Lena Bickel, president; Mrs. S. Lu
ders, -vice-president; Miss May Goldsmith,
secretary and treasurer.
PLUCKY WOMAN-FARMER.
She Warmly Advocates Agriculture
for Her Sex.
At White Salmon, Wash., on the Co
lumbia river, lives a brlght-witted, help
ful little woman who has more energy,
pluck and Yankee adaptability than falls
to the lot of 10 ordinary persons. Mrs.
Jennie Jewett was born in Wisconsin in I
1849. and came to her present home about
25 years ago. Since that time more than
most pioneers she has helped to make
history.
She was the first white woman to camp
out on Mount Hood. She carried the
mails to Camas prairie, and was, at one
time, school director. She has managed
the business of the farm, taught music,
cooked delectable dinners, furnished oon-
tributlons to The Arena, and raised 20 chil-J
dren, most of them orphans, especially
consigned to her care. These are now
sturdy lads and lassies; efficient and
happy-hearted workers In the househpld,
or on the farm. With all this display of
boundless energy, Mra Jewett, from her
childhood up, has had to contend with
bodily infirmities such as would have ren
dered the ordinary woman useless. She
is at present contemplating establishing
a "stock farm fpr the children and making
a fish pond that shall rival Trout lake.
At least one illustration of her pluck In
overcoming difficulties has become linown
from one end of the state of Washington
to the other. About six years ago she
invited, the state grange to meet at her
home. Just before the time of the meet
ing, the house was burned to the ground.
Not a whit daunted, she put her wits and
hands to wor.k, and, in less than two
weeks, she and ner husband entertained
the grange In royal style, feeding several
hundred people on barbecued ox, lemon
pie, strawberries and the like. The grange
women of the neighborhood helped her
serve these to hex guests. She found beds
for over 100 persons on. this occasion, and
made much of the hedclothlng herself.
The Jewett -farm contains abput 300 acres,

pltallty, choice farm products and ro- school directors, that no unseemly of
mantlc beauty of situation. The land lies ficiousness may mar thefr work. All this
on a level promontory about 400 feet in is written with the hope that other small
height, and jutting out sharply towards clubs will be interested in like work, ana
the Columbia river. The view up and 'that all the clubs In the -state -federation
down the river from these heetling rocks
Is one of wild grandeur. Perched on this
bluff, and surrounded by extensive lawns
and flower gardens, Is the picturesque,
vine-covered farmhouse, cheering the eye
with its white walls and bright red roof.
Near it i a narrow and precipitous gorge,
where a mountain stream falls over fern
covered rocks, 300 or 400 feet below. Jersey
cream and butter and vineyards and or
chards of choice fruits combine to make
life comfortable, wholesome and happy In
this rbmantic spot, as many Portland peo
ple who have enjoyed the hospitality of
the Jewett farm can testify.
As Mr. Jewett is extensively engaged In
the nursery business, much of the business
of the farm has necessarily devolved up
on his wife. And she Is as successful in
directing a large force of men as she is
in burning brush, or setting a wagon
tire. She is a very entertaining talker,
has' a generous, motherly "heart; "and' Is
enthusiastic on the subject of agriculture
for women. Bee culture, poultry-raising,
gardening, general farming, stockraising,
the nursery business, fruit culture, sum
mer boarding, fish culture, the clearing
up of new homes any one of these she
maintains, if undertaken with proper care
and Intelligence, and followed patiently,
will afford a good competency to any en
terprising woman. fBut the woman must
be adapted and -trained to the work quite
the same as a man.

AMONG THE CLUBWOMEN.
Interest in Proposed School of Do
mestic Science.
"One clubwoman once asked another
If her 'club had a department of House
hold Economics."' The spirited reply was
'no, indeed! we get enough of house
work and economy at home.' A second
woman was gently sounded on the ques
tion of 'domestic science' In club work,
and the answer was: 'Don't talk to me
about domestic science or health foods.
My husband reads and studies about
those things until he is so afraid of germs
and microbes that I expect he will starve
himself to death "
"In the face of these rebuffs, It is dis
tinctly encouraging to read the consensus
of opinion on a school of domestic science
for Oregon, published In last Monday's
Gregonlan.
"It may no't be widely known yet,' out
it is hoped that every club In the Oregon
federation will know about It before long,
that our state federation has already at
work a committee on domestic-i science,
and there Is no 'department' of work that
Is better worththe whole-hearted enthu
siasm of the clubwomen, none worthier,
none more certain to bring wholesome
results.
"Our committee will, through corre
spondence with the older federations, learn
all they can of the best way to get at
the matter In a practical manner, and
will then bring fhe result of Its efforts
before the Individual clubs, and we look
for a hearty response from the club
women. "We mean to have an address on th s
subject at the meeting of the federation
in June, and we hope for a general dis
cussion that will be Instructive.
"The president of the federation is ready
to pledge her best efforts In aid of the
industrial school for the training of Ore
gon boys and -girls, and'urgos upon the
president of eac- club the importance of
united effort."
CInb Women Visit Schools.
The following bright letter from the
president of the state federation seems to
Indicate that the clubwomen of Oregon
may be of material assistance in the move
ment tQ build up .an Industrial training
schools for'glris. Mrs.' Wade writes j
"The ro lowing mnjgramme was .fully par
ried out at tjie last meeting of the" Thurs
day Afternoon Club in Pendleton, and
proved a most interesting oner A papei
on 'Defects of the Public School Sys
tem of Oregon ; a discussion on the
Lack of Compulsory Attendance,' 'Man
ual Tralnlnjr:'- 'Crowded Conditions -of
Lower 3rades,--'Smli Attendance- 'in J
Higher Grades, etc; a paper on 'The
Moral Tone of the Schoolroom,' and a
tiiscussion of the question "What Can We
Do to Improve the Public School System
of Our State and the Conditions in Our
City Schools?"
"The meeting or the club wtas, an open
one, inasmuch as each member had the
privilege of inviting two guests, and these
guests also took part in the discussions.
"There- is a .growing sympathy in Jfen
dleton between the -clubs and the schools.
This has been brought about In the sim
plest manner. Through appointed com
mittees, the clubs visited the schools. By
conferences with the teachers they learned
some of the needs of the school, and in
small ways, within their means, tried to
'supply some of the needs. For some
rooms they have mounted pictures, for
others, covered books; for still others,
pictures have been painted and framed,
permanently to adorn the room, flowers
and vases, mottoes and curtains to mako
the bareness less apparent have been
given, and all 'this has created a vital in
'terest In the work. Of the greatest Im
portance is the fact that the Reeling is
that the visitors go not to criticise, but
rather to help. ,. ,
"The dub women also confer with the
tvM appoint educational committees, or, it
it Je a better nam-?, "and not quite so
ambitious, a committee to visit the
schools. From this beginning, the interest
and work will grow.
"The school libraries are coming in for
a share of the attention ofi the Current
Literature Club. At a recent meeting it
was decided, after some discussion of the
subject, that each member of the club
would contribute a book for the increase
of the library. The Thursday Afternoon
Club will also contribute books of sup
plementary reading for one of the rooms.
"AUJBLIA D. WADiS."
Free Library. Work.
The free-library department of the
Woman's Club met with Dr. Mary Thomp
son Thursday afternoon. T!he subject
discussed was "Library Laws of Other
States." The statistics of Massachusetts
are mdre carefully "kept and more' com
prehensive and the laws better than those
of any other state. New Hampshire wa
found to have enacted the first compulsory
library law in the "United States. Many
new and interesting facts were brought
out, all tending to instruct and educate
the women, who are working so earnestly
for library legislation for Oregon.
After being regaled with a charming
luncheon, served by Dr. Thompson, the
meeting adjourned until the third Thurs
day In February) when the department
will be entertained by Mrs. Philip Lawton.
Not only members of the club are wel
come at these meetings, but any one who
is interested in the work.
Jt is expected that within a few weeks
the work of this department will assume
a much wider scope, as every woman's
qlub in the state will be asked by cir
cular letter to co-operate with this depart
ment of the Woman's Club. It Js hoped,
too, that by the time their work is fairly
launched the library committee of the J
state federation will have organized for
systematic work, thereby very materially
assisting the work already 'begun. The
very encouraging letter on free libraries,
from the state president, gives promise
of loyal support from the federation, for
which the library department of the
Woman's Club is most grateful.

The carnival opened with a grand march
played by a full orchestra from Pough

part in the march. They circled the lake
by twos and fours, then singly, and per
formed various evolutions with a grace
and skill delightful to behold. The whole

VISITATION ' OF ARCHBISHOP.
Eloquent Sermon Preached at
St.
Francis Catholic Church.
The services at St. Francis (Catholic)
church, East Side;, yesterday morning,
were of unusual Interest and attracted a
large congregation to witness them. It
was the occasion" of Archbishop Christie's
first official visit, and elaborate prepara
tions had been made by the pastor- and
members for the event. Last summer the
church was renovated and extensive im
provements were made. The ceiling la
done in pale blue, while the sides of the
edifice have been covered with tinted
brown and around the wall at the top
runs an elegant fresco of symbolic pic
tures. A part of the ceremony consisted
in blessing" the church. During mass the
St. Francis choir rendered exqu-slte music,
aided by Professor Valliant de la CroixT
Archbishop Christie was then Introduced
by Father Chabot and he addressed the
large congregation with his usual elo
quence and strength. He first touched, in
a brief manner, upon, the financial condi
tion of the church, and urged zeal and ac
tivity on the part of the members in
making, converts and spreading religion
throughout"' the world. He turned to the
symbolical images about the altar and
explained their use In the Catholic cere
mony. In the course of the explanation
Archbishop Christie said:
"In this church there may be some who
are not Catholics, and consequently do
not understand these symbols. Possibly
they think we are breaking the command
ment which forbids the worship of idols,
for they doubtless believe that we worship
these Images. ,But as all true Catholics
know, such Is not the case; we worship
that only which they represent, that of
which they are symbolical. We do not, in
blessing them, mean to revere the Image,
the .idol merely, but what it represents,
and it Is our custom to invoke God's
blessing on the articles used in our sacred
ceremonies."
Cpntinuing, the archbishop gave a few
moments to clearing up some questions of
Catholicism which he -said are misunder
stood and often misconstrued by their non
Catholic brethren. He stated that God had
created every soul for heaven, but that
some go astray and are forever lost on ac
count or their own unwillingness to heed
God's warning Voice. God is reached
through prayer and penance, and a soul
can be saved, he said, if It will obey these
precepts of God. In regard to penance,
the bishop remarked that Jt does not con
sist of a long face, or loud ejaculations, or
any other outward form; but that it cornea
from'the heart that has sinned against its
God. True penance consists in casting out
of one's nature those traits unworthy in
the sight of God. When fault enters the
soul and It yields to It, God and the angels
do all possible to lead the erring, soul back
to true life again, and it -Is -nepessary that
the soul do penance In proportion to ita
sin. With perfect faith In his supreme
power, what crosses can not human be
ings bear? They can meet death even
with perfect resignation, and when the
best beloved leaves them, Gpd gives them
strength to say, "O death, where Is thy
sting, O grave, where Is thy victory?"
Archbishop Christie then closed his elo
quent sermon with an appeal to God that
the people of St. Francis' church may
profit by its teachings and live true and
noble lives.

Expansion in the South.

"Expansion does'n't appear to be a party

No; not strictly a party question now, but
at one time It was, and for many years
the popular policy of the democratic par

NEW MANSE WAS DEDICATED.
INTERESTING SERVICES AT ST. PAUL GERMAN LUTHERAN CHURCH.
The handsome new manse of the S. Paul German Lutheran church, on the- corner of East
Twelfth anad Clinton streets, was dedicated yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, 'according- to the
time-honored -custom: of this denomination. At the- appointed hour for the dedication a great
congregation gathered in the church, which stands on the south side of the parsonase, made
up of the members and friends from different portions of the city. By the fauHdlng committee
the parsonage had-been carefully locked up since Its completion. Rev. August Krause, the
pastor; Rev. Christian Buechler, of the St- John Lutheran Evangelical church, of Peninsula,
and Rev. J. J. Hele, of the. Norwegian-Danish church, headed the proccssrfon from. th church
to the front door of the jwrsonage. Here the three clergymen, surrounded by the building
committee, composed of Charles B. Bartel, Christian and "William Helman, and the congrega
tion, broke forth In a hymn of praise to Almighty God for his mercies and goodness. Then.
Mr. Krause began the ceremony, before opening the door. After the readlnsr of the ritualistic
address by the pastor, Mr. Bartel, chairman of the building committer, handed him the key
of the front door, and he proceeded to open, it in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy
Spirit. All who -could followed the ministers inside, where the concludlnjr cervices were held
in "the" double parlors. There was singing by the quartet, and congregation Rev. Mr.
Buechler thenjisalstedMr. Krause In, the final dedication, which was concluded with an In
vocation. A short Inspection of the premises was permitted.
The new parsonage Is an eight-room, modern residence, provided with bathrooms, hot
water and other con ententes. On the second floor is the ample study of the parsonage,
facing East Twelfth street. By all who went through the building. It Is considered a very
attractive dwelling, and the building committee evidently has done its part well and faith
fully. The house cost a little over $1300. Only the curtains had been placed at the windows,
but Mr. Krause and family will commence moving into the house today.
After the conclusion of the dedicatory services of the house, the clergymen and congrega
tion returned tp the church, where the remainder of the proceedings werj highly Interesting.
, After the congregation had reassembled, the leading members ot the church, with the minis
ters, gathered around the altar. A pedestal bearing a covered top was wheeled to the front.
Mr. Bartel began addressing Mr. Krause, commending his work In the church, and In the end
presented him with a beautiful Bible from the congregation, as a token of appreciation of
his faithful and efficient services. After a short address from Mr. Buechler, the Bible on the
pedestal was unveiled by one of the brethren. Then Mr. Krause responded to the addresses.
After the presentation an address was delivered by Mr. Buechler, In the German language,
and Mr. Hele gave the closing address In English. Each congratulated the congregation on
the completion of the handsome parsonage. Mr. 'Hele said the" dwelling- waa'a atandlng-"mon-ument
to the zeal of the people and pastor. It is neat, convenient, appropriate and ample for
the purpose. Above all. It Is close to the church. The speaker said that he did not believe
In luxury, but he considered that a pastor should be comfortably provided, and that the par
sonage and churchy should stand together. He made an earnest appeal for a. continuation of
the work that had been carried forward among the German people of the neighborhood. "With
this addrees closed the services of the afternoon. The entire services, with the .exception of
the last address, were in the German language.

Mr. Ackerman brought home 'the lesson
that the hand that is stretched out to
reach the crown must be armed for the
foe. He said in part:
"There Is a great, a universal law, and
Herod was made to feel the tooth of it.

this complaint of the dry-goods clerk
that there Is no chance, that not more
than one out of fifty can make a decent j
living? There must be a time of develop- 1
ment, slow, arduous, full of discourage- !
ment; a time of wing-making, getting con- l
celt into self-control, when a man gets to J
the bottom, scents suicide and all sorts of
desperate things; but the man who agon
izes through It all with determination shall
come to his throne some day. The man to
be pitied is he whosings the song of the

"Now, whether I have shown clearly the

to question the Lord's application of It
to the kingdom of heaven. I know that
it Is out of harmony with present-day
thinking, but you must make jour choice
between- th's thinkinsj and the word of
the Chirst. And the fact remains that
the men of power with God and with men
like Dale in England, and Moody In all
the world, are they who have come
through great tribulation and have ago
nized to enter in. "We regard the strong
crying of a former generation as unneces
sary and possibly ridiculous, hut that age
gave us a stalwart Christianity that is
somewhat rare in the world today. It
needs no Inner sight to see that the law
reaches to the spiritual life of man. and
the period of development is demanded In
all spiritual experiences."
PERSONAL PURITY.
Dr. Georgre F. Hall Lectures to Men
at Y. M. C. A. Rooms.
Dr, George F. Hall, of Toledo. 111., spoke
twice in the city yesterday, first In the
Y. M. C. A. building, and to the congre
tion of the First Christian church In the
evening. The Y. M,, C. A. talk was his
lecture. "Plain Points on Personal Pur
ity," delivered to men only. Through
speaking and writing on this subject. Dr.
Hall has attained considerable celebrity.
That he handles the matter with great
lucidity and bluntness, yet with all due
appreciation of the purpose he seeks, was
evident to the large assemblage of men
andyouths who listened to him. There
is nothing sensational in Dr. Hall's lec
ture. He carefully avoids satisfying that
morbid curiosity that Is often attracted
by the announcement of such a subject.
Yet he does not hesitate to deal in the
most direct and unvarnished manner with
the many weaknesses and vices of men,
which he has catalogued for discussion.
He defined what he styled a good, noble j
man, using the definition of noted writers
and 'speakers. In reaching this, it was
necessary to state objections to certain
qualities, where the speaker said, "I am
sorry some things that will be talked
about this afternoon have to be talked
about; I am sorry we have to take the
scalpel and dissect the ugly growths."
Taking Dr. Pratt's four quarters to an,
all-around perfect man. "one of mind, ot
muscle, of manners and of morals," he
emphasized the particular requirements in
detail. A man of muscle was as neces
sary as any other, for It was a lack of
physical strength and soundness that cre
ated so much melancholy religion.
"Health" should be written in capitals.
Jesus Christ came Into the world to make
It happy, and men in their devotion should
be happy and healthful. Because one
becomes religious, the speaker thought It
no reason why they should become sour
and disagreeable, so that children would
fly from their presence.
Of course, mind was essential, for It
was the perrectlon of the mind that de
velopment of muscle asked. The Intel
lectual should be developed. There was a
disposition among- American youths to
rush into the field of business without
qualifying their minds to grapple with
the business demands of life. Their moral
conception of duty was often weak, as
he had painfully discovered while riding
from Oakland, Cal., to Portland." During
that trip he met a fine-looking young man
with his wife, who was going to Cape
Nome to commence a large gambling
business. Such digressions from the path
of duty were attributed to weak mental
ity. There was never such opportunities
as now for developing the mind, and there
could be no excuse for mental vacuity.
Under the head of manners. Dr. Hall
soon made It plain that he did not refer
to the empty conventional etiquette ordi
narily understood by the word. It made
but little llff erence to him whether a man
ate his mush out of the tip or the side of
the spoon, whether pie were cut with a
knife or a fork. By manners, he meant
courtesy, the manners of a gentleman,
well bred and well developed. There were
some rules that could only come by con
tact with fellow-creatures. As other men
were met one learned to conduct himself
with the greatest respect and considera
tion for all.
Morals was the fourth aualiflpatfrm for
an all-around man. The speaker found
much to regret among the young men of
the country under the head of morals.
Skepticism had tended to encourage young
men to set morality aside as something
that had been outgrown, and was no:
adapted to the modern, free age. Inger
soll came in for a hearty scoring, as his
teachings and attacks on the church were
thought productive of vast evil.
The principal part of Dr. Hall's lecture
was under the heads following the above
dlisions. Tobacco, liquor, profanity, the
social evil and others, were treated in
detail. His familiarity with these matters,
the clear, Incisive manner of presenting
his arguments, and the earnestness of the
speaker, drew from both old and young
unabated attention throughout his talk
of an hour and a quarter. The social evil
was the last dealt with, and here it was
evident the speaker was strongest. His
appeal for pure, manly lives was at times
'touching, and again thrilled with passion
ate contempt for men who willfully,
avowedly pursued objects forbidden by
laws of God and man.
