BT LnONTJ CA6S BASS.
With a gorneonsnfos that would hare
pleaded the eye of an Oriental potentate,
riamtllnft and kaleldoacoplo dancea by
cores of Portland's fairest maids and
matrons and prominent society men. and
dash and spirit that were remarkable, the
much-heralded and much-talked-about
Klrmeas opened last NlKht in the im
mense hall of the Armory.
If. as the programmes say. the first
Klrmens was a religious act by which a
new church wae consecrated, then either
the churches of lmiK ago permitted a
more bounteous frivolity than those of
later days have considered appropriate, or
else the ancient religion was a far less
serious thine than It has since become.
The beauty of color, of mualo and of
the dance filled the huge stage at the
Armory last night at the perform an oe
which local society folic gave for the
benefit of the Portland Opon Air San!
tarlum for Tuberculosis, and for the lo
cal Woman s Exchange organisation.
The tone of the performance was so
colored that Its muslo took on the qual
ity of pictures, and the tints were so
skillfully blended that their living por
traits possessed the harmony of music.
Features Are Amazing.
As feature suoceeded feature In the con
tinuous programme. It is safe to say that
80 per cent of the big audience which
crowded the hall was amazed at the pro
ficiency displayed. Whether the dance
was the Italian Tarantella, the Scotch
Reel and the Highland Fling, the Irish
Harveet dance, the Footmen's Chorus and
the French Maids, the Fluffy Ruffle Maid
ens, the Indian War Pane or the Merry
Widow watts, there was always, by virtue
of its llvln kaleidoscope and the varying
color thrown upon the stage, a lining set
ting to the action.
There was a dominant and enthusiastic
spirit in last night's premiere. It is fit
ting to term it a premiere, for although
Miss Llla Agnew Stewart, who has man
aged and rehearsed the affair, is a pro
fessional ktrmessest tlf we may coin a
word for the occasion), this is the first
time in a score of . years that local so
ciety has taken up any entertainment
n! this nature. There has never before
been any benefit that has achieved such
a tremendous success, and never before
have the men and women of society had
such a wonderful opportunity to show
what they can do when It comes to
question of nimhleness and grace.
The Joy which underlies the every
movement of a graceful dancer was
demonstrated and the joy that is the
expression of one's mind was evidenced
by the participants of the various
dances, who threw to Jthe winds all
consciousness of self, and romped gaily
tarougn tne maxes or me terpslchorean
numbers with perfect realism.
Armory as tiay as Garden.
The big Armory had been transformed
Into a garden. Along each side of the
room were the booths, each one framed
In bowers of cherry, peach and apple
bloom, interwoven wun oougns of frag
rant pine ana ceaar. m'eriie&d were
suspended Chinese lanterns in graceful
designs, and the immense stage occupied
one entire end of the halt Attractive

maidens in dainty gowns, wearing' wreaths
and carrying baskets of nosegays and
boutonnieres, flitted through the crowd,
selling their odorous offerings. Others
sold programmes, and the cry of the
spielers for various attractions mingled
with the strains from the orchestra.
Scarcely a seat" was vacant when,
sharply at 8:30, the curtain rolled up on
a darkened stage, and when the lights
flashed, the entire crowd of dancers, fill
ing the stage from footlights to back
drop; became visible. Instantly T. Scott
Brooke, dressed as a Jester, leaped to the
front of the stage and the Intricate mazes
of the grand march began.
This was followed by the French
court minuet, the movement of which
was slow, deliberate and measured.
The maids, quaint In puffed head dress
and beauty patches, were gowned In
empire costumes, with old-fashioned
panlers over petticoats of gay brocaded
satin. The men wore powdered wlffs.
lace-trimmed waistcoats and knee breech
es of satin.
Scotch Reels Intricate.
Then came the Scotch reels and
Highland dancers, who were enthusi
astically received. These Highlanders,
gay In' plaids and bonnets, danced the
liveliest reels, flings and steps to the
wild music of bagpipes. The special
numbers added greatly to the popu
larity of this dance.
A double sextet appeared in the Fluffy
Ruffles dance and illustrated to perfection
the accepted idea of the term. The girls
wore modish costumes of white broad
cloth and huge black hats crowned with
marlbou plumes. White suede boots with
high gilded heels, dlrectolre parasols and
many glimpses of billowy pink silk petti
coats completed the striking costumes.
The lads were dapper In white flannels
with straw hats and nifty hat bands. A
particularly fetching note was lent by the
solo dance specialty given by Miss Doro
thy Morrison and Miss Margaret Boot. !
both handsome types. Another catchy
number which was well received was
contributed by Miss Winifred Lewis.
Miss Jtt&rgaret Hausmann, Charles C. Mc
culloch and James Alexander.
The Irish Harvest Dance brought a
complete change of scene. Steps, diffi
cult Jigs and spirited reels, alternated
with typical Irish mecsurea, were given by
a dozen nimble lads and lassies, most of
whom have Hibernian blood in ' their
veins.
The girls wore short skirts of white
satin with overskirts of green and elabor
ate bodices, while the men wore the cos
tumes of Irish gentlemen, with high coni
cal hats, caped coats of green satin.
lace-decked waistcoats, knee breeches of
white satin and white silk hose with
buckled shoes.
The specialties "It Takes the Irish"
and "Molly Shannon," as given by James
A. Beckett, assisted by Mrs. Paul Vial
and the choir boys from St. Stephen's
Pro-Cathedral, were especially fine.
Tarantelle Is Whirling Maze..
The Italian Tarantelle was a wild
rythmic swaying with whirling tambour-
nes. It had two specialties that cap
tured the audience. These were the
numbers "La Saltorena," as given by
Mrs. J. Sherman O'Qorman and J. How
ard Carroll, also the number, "La Tar
antelle." by Miss Mildred Mayer, whose
dancing was most graceful and finished.
In the Dutch dance Miss Kathleen
Lawler and Miss -Hilda Hegele added
new laurels In their list with their char
acter song. "Mr. Schneider." Their
costuming as Deutsche Maedchen was
particularly Interesting.
The Footman's Chorus, and French
Maids was a delightful number, adapt
ed from one of the well-known Roirers
Brothers' productions. The costuming
was most effectual, the dainty apparel
of the graceful maids vying with the
gold and red livery of the powered
lootmen. The specialty song and
dance as given by Miss Vlda Reed. Miss
Lucille Parker and Miss Dorris Clarke
was capably executed and excited much
comment.
The Indian War Dance brought a crawd
of aborigines On the stage who scatped
nobody, but captured the plaudits of the
audience. The wigwam dance was ef
fectively executed by Mrs. David T. Hon
eyman and Morton- H. Insley. Mrs. Rose
Coursen Reed also added to this number
with her beautiful solo, "My Prairie Wild
t lower Bloux."
Music, costumes, pleasing specialties.
and, above all. the talent displayed by
the performers, combined to make an
effective feature of the Spanish dance.
spanisn students' songs were sung by
maie memoers of the cast, and the danc

ing specialties by the senorltas evoked
storms of applause. The tambourine
dance by Miss Lulle Hall was artistic
and finished.
"As We Swing, Sweetheart," was one
of the prettiest and most effective of
the dances. Roped swings of colored
lights and flowers1 interwoven swung
back and forth across the footlights
while dainty maids and lads sung and
danced. This is one of the most specta
cular offerings of the Klrmess, and its
excellence Is enhanced by the electrical
effects. The rendering of the "Glow
Worm" by Miss Winifred Lewis and
Laura Cummlng was one of the pleasing
features.
Marsovian Dance Casta Spell.
The Marsovian Dance made one of the
lmportants events of the night's enter
tainment. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ladd
Corbett, In the National Dance, were not
only graceful but they lost themselves
in the spirit of the danoe so completely as
to cast a spell over the audience.
Mrs. Rose 31och Bauer gave a song,
"Villia" at the end of this dance and
her superb voice charmed.
There was a wild demonstration when
the many groups of performers formed in
the ensable in the finale. Society folk
who had not expected that the affair
would bo. such a colossal success arose
in a body. From the boxes and the floor
of the ballroom came round after round
of applause. The Klrmess had triumphed
at the outset and the first night audi
tors plainly showed It.
In this scene Miss Llla Agnew Stewart,
who Is conducting the affair, came In for
an ovation. Her pupils arose and voiced
cheer after cheer for the plucky woman
who has worked so tirelessly to make
the affair a success.
The Klrmess executive committee con
sisted of Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett, chair
man; Miss Failing, associate chairman;
Miss Sarah H. Lewis, Miss Mary F. Fall

shekels for the big benefit fund, greeted
the ears of the crowds as they entered.

decorations of bunting and boughs, ferns
and flowers.
Just Inside the Armory doors. In the
main corridor, was the Kirmess Garden

banks of palms and colored lights In
profusion. Small tables scattered about
were handsomely appointed, and an elab
orate supper menu was served from 11
until 12 o'clock. During the Intermissions
between the dances, buffet refreshments
were served. The cafe was under the
management of the Woman's Exchange,
and the menu was an epicurean triumph.
Among the novelties on the supper list

Society Works Hard for
Success of Kirmess.
N
EVER In the history of local charita
ble entertainments has there been
such hearty co-operation manifest as has
characterized the Kirmess. The opening
night brought out the largest and most
distinguished audience seen In years,
while the great auditorium of the Armory
was ablaze with light and taxed to capa
city limit. Handsome gowns anil jewels
were everywhere in evidence, while a
spirit of bon camaraderie permeated the
entire atmosphere.
The boxes were filled with smartly
gowned women, who visited from one box
to another, endeavoring to obtain votes
for their favorite dances. Fragrant pine
boughs Inclosed the various booths, while
fantastically garbed spielers urged filthy
lucre from all phllanthroplcally inclined.
The art booth, at which many objects
d'art were displayed, proved Immensely
popular, there being much rivalry among
the audience to obtain the autographed
CURE FOLLOWED
YEAR OF AGONY
Intense Itching Eczema Drove Him
Nearly to Despair Chief Surgeon
of a London Hospital Called It
Worst Case He Had Ever Seen
Got Little or No Relief Until
CUTICURA STOPPED HIS
UNBEARABLE TORTURE
"About four years ago, in London, I
was troubled by a severe itching and
dry, scurfy skin
on my ankles and
feet. The same,
in a few days,
was the case with
my arms and
scalp. I could
hardly keep from
scratchlne.which.
x neea n a r a i y
l say, made it
worse. Then
large red patches
appeared, with
i n f 1 a m m ation
and soreness.
After ten Havm
thousands of email red pimples formed.
On becoming dry, these caused intense
itching. I was advised to go to the
hospital for diseases of the skin. I did
so and was an out-patient for a month
or more, the chief surgeon saying: 'I
never saw BUch a bad case of eczema."
But I got little or no relief. Then I
tried many so-called remedies, but I be
came so bad that I almost gave up in
despair. On coming to this country I
heard so many accounts of cures by Cuti
cura Remedies that I resolved, as a
last resource, to give them a trial. This
was after suffering agonies for twelve
months, and right glad am I that I did
so, for I was relieved of the almost un
bearable itching after two or three
applications of Cutic-ura Ointment. I
continued its use, combined with a
liberal use of Cuticura Soap and Cuti
cura Resolvent Pills and am more than
thankful to say that after using three
sets of the Remedies, I was completely
cured. I can only add that, should any
one be suffering as I did, I hope that
they will do as I did, and I am sure of
the results. Henry Searle, 2022 Cross
