ET MacMILL AN : Dainty "Cinderella" at Orpheum Theater Visits j; Portland Stores, Telling .Story of a Pleas i ant Day With the Merchants Portland's Foremost Garment and Millinery Store 14 ORPHEUM M clever little actress whi is creat- j . ing such a favorable impression at the ; I Orpheum Theater this week, was asked j i to grlve her opinion of some of the lead- inj: stores of Portland in comparison ; ' with the hundreds1 of others she has ; ; visited durtnff her' professional career, (Jnd this dainty little lady has con- ' Rented to tell the readers of The Ore J ' sonian the very agreeable surprise this ; ; comparison has made. She describes ; J her trip as follows: t '. "My. oh, my! what a fine time I had f yesterday morning-. Under the auspices ; . of The Oregonian I visited some of the ; " finest stores I have seen in a Ions ; j time. All the people I met were so J; charming' "that I just enjoyed every I. ; minute. . I 1 Praises the Apperson "Jackrnblilt Anto j "Mr. Curtis, the local manager of the ; Apperson Motor Co., called for me at : the Orpheum Theater and I started cn j ; one of the most delightful trips it has ; ' been my grood" fortune to enjoy. The j Apperson "Six" is such an easy car to ride in. Do you know, I did not feel ! ; b. single Jar on the entire trip. I have . : had the pleasure of riding in many ! ; cars, the most expensive and beautiful J ; onrs, and when I found out the selling J price of this magnificent car, I simply ! ; marveled at it. ; ; "The car is finished in a most beau j ; tiful way that you just revel in it.' The ! . equipment of this Apperson "Jackrab- ' bit" is the most beautiful and complete ; I have ever had the pleasure of inspect- Ing. When you stop to consider this j ; car and its advantages, it is as good ; : a bargain in an electric car as I have ! ever seen for the money. It is one of : j those kind of cars that makes auto rid- Ing a dream. ; Had an Excellent Soda In Tea Room at ' ' Woodard. Clarke Sl Co. ' "On starting out on this trip I felt the need of light refreshments. . To me there is but one place to get a nice, ( delicious soda and that is at the tea ; ! room in the Woodard, Clarke & Co. ; drug store. There . has not been a j j morning since I have been in Portland . that I have failed to take advantage I of this charming place. My, oh, my, those sodas are the most delicious I ; ; have ever tasted. It. was during yes- ; terday's visit that I received another j : pleasant treat, when myself and friends enjoyed one of their Justly famous ' 'Specials.' ; "Let me tell you all about this ideal . ; drug store I visited when I dropped in , at this place. Here I found as com ; , plete a drug store as I have had the t pleasure of inspecting since I left New Tork, some six months ago. I really ; ' think it is the largest, drug store in ' America. j Beautiful Toned Pianos at the Bush A ' Lane Piano Co. "As a lover of all things musical. I ; I next wanted to know where I could J Jiear some good music, and so we j i stopped at the Bush & ' Lane Piano ; Company, where a great surprise j awaited me. Imagine going Into a very beautiful store where every little 1 detail for the comfort and pleasure of ; ; music-lovers is carefully planned out. ; ' Here I found all the famous pianos and ; . I Just couldn't help trying them all. They are certainly beautiful. I was ' shown through the entire store and, ; . jny! what a treat it was. ; "Mr. Morin, the gentleman in charge, 1 took me into the large show room, ' where all the famous Bush & Lane Baby Grand' pianos are in stock. I can truthfully state I have never had the pleasure of playing on more ex quisitely toned instruments. Really, they fairly talked to me when I played on them. They are the most carefully made pianos in the world, and I assure you they are worth all that the Bush & Lane Piano Company asks for them. I passed a most delightful half hour in the player piano department, listening to many new records Just received. Delighted With the Emporium en Sixth Sixth., . "Having heard so much favorable comment regarding the Emporium on Sixth street, I dropped in there next, and I feel perfectly Justified in saying it was everything my friends hadtold me. I started from the front of the store and visited, every section, all of them busy with satisfied customers. My delight in this beautiful store was further augmented when I found on the second floor some, of the dearest ready-made suits and dresses imagin able. My. what a lovely time I had there. Their suits are Just the daintiest I have seen in a long time. I passed more time in this fine store than I had intended, but I couldn't pull my self away. "I wane to make -special mention of those wonderful evening dresses Mr. Swett showed me. Do you know I have just come from New York and I was very -much, surprised to find all the very latest styles exhibited. "Here I found a wonderful array of .the new Spring hats they have just re ceived. My. they are Just beautiful this year. Here I found all the famous brands of hats from the high-class milliners of New York. All of them are more lovely than I can tell you. Greatly Interested In the J. D. Dubaclc Optical Offices In Selling; Bids. "A3 I have many times suffered from the strain of a spotlight being thrown in my eyes constantly, I thought It best to investigate and see if my eyes were being affected, so I asked direc tions to one of the leading opticians and I was referred to Dr. J. D. Duback, on the sixth floor of the Selling build ing. Consequently I had the Apperson 'Jackrabbit' driven" there next. Here I not alone got all the instructions re garding the care I should take of my eyes, but also I had the pleasure of inspecting his entire establishment. You know it is very seldom you get an optician that understands this knack of fitting glasses to a certain type of individual, so Portland is to be com plimented upon having such an optician in its midst. Becomes Enthusiastic Over the Sim plicity Sweep-Clean Sweeper. "As I have often heard of the Sim plicity Sweep-Clean Electrical Sweeper, I thought perhaps a trip across the street to the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company's store would be an interesting one, as they were demon strating this instrument there at this time. Consequently I soon found'my self very busy asking questions about it, and here are some of the things I learned: One can get a Simplicity Sweep-Clean and a choice of two other electrical appliances, which altogether would cost about $50, for $39, at $3 down and )3 a month, which is less than the cost of the Sweep-Clean alone. Oh,, yes. I forgot to mention that be tween May 11. and 16 there is going to be a special sale on their El Glastovo Electric Stove, which generally sells at 5, tor only 2.50. Surely that is going to be a very popular sale, now isn't it? GORDON HOSE, 25c to $5.00 KID GLOVES, $1.39, $1.50, $2.00 New Spring Waists in delightful new styles.

"Not only were the stocks as varied and comprehensivce as those of the best Eastern establishments, but the courteous attention and the splendid service accorded me while there made me feel so at home that, were I a native, my shopping would be confined to this progressive store." f v m ;- w fa r - -IS '?
