LARGE delegation of representa " tlve clubwomen and others inter ested in suffrage were guests yesterday atJ a reception given by Mrs. W. J. Hawkins in compliment to Mrs. Jessie Hardy Stubbs, of Chicago. During- the afternoon an informal parlor talk was given by the Eastern woman, who told of her work in the cause of equal rights for women. In introducing Mrs. Stubbs Mrs. Hawkins said: "If the struggle for equal suffrage involves principle, then it involves every woman. If it is acceded in one ftate then it is right that it should be in every state. State lines in no way affect principle. The women who have undertaken to work for this principle, to be logical or just, cannot in any way excuse themselves from their labors until the whole task is accomplished. In this case surely only one thing can be done at a time. "There is another attitude which lit erally says: I have all I need you get yours the best way you can. Surely, this is far below the action of woman hood. Everybody would laugh at a man who had accumulated a fortune by day labor and, therefore, claimed that he must forever labor with his hands to prevent his capital from ac cruing interest. And yet that is ex actly what we, as women, would be doing if we did nut use the power our acquired vote gives us. We can afford to wait for party alignment; it- won't be long if we all stand together. Let the men work alone a while longer in party politics. We will -line up with them sooner or later." Mrs. V. M. C. Silva entertained the members of the Daughters of the Con federacy yesterday afternoon. Charm ing Southern hospitality characterized the social part of the afternoon. An entertaining programme was given. Many of the clubwomen who have been in attendance at the state -convention of the Oregon Federation of "Women's Clubs in Eugene returned to Portland last night. .

OESENT it seem foolish." said the Housekeeper, as she studied the plate of soup the waitress had placed in front of her, "to take time to cut letters out of dough or macaroni, or whatever they are cut from, just to be eaten in five minutes In the soup." "Perhaps they give a letterary flavor to the soup," laughed the other. The Housekeeper made a wry face. "Almost you take my appetite." she said. "But really, isn't it a foolish proceeding and a waste of time? Here I have before me 'L. G. R.,' " and she named a dozen or so letters. "Think of the time taken to cut them out, the further time consumed to knead and use the pieces of dough left, and all for what? Merely to add a note of seeming novelty to the soup, I pre sume." "They are probably cut out by ma chinery," soothed the other. "Suppose they are. Couldn't the machinery and the people running It be used to better purpose? There are more worth-while things to be made in this world than a, b, c's for soup." "But they make the soup look inter esting," continued the other. "To children, perhaps. But haven't we grown beyond being amused in childish ways? I think that is part of the cause of our teing rushed and hurried the way we are and yet get ting nothing done. We do not discrim inate between what is worth doing and what is not worth doing. We spend a' lot of our time cutting letters out of dough for soup. And because we do It or lend our sanction to its being done, the world seems to think it Is neces sary to do such things and spends a large part of its time and energy doing them." "But what would you put Into the soup?" asked the other, a bit plain tively. "The things that make it nutritions," replied the Housekeeper. "That is what soup is for to supply nutriment." "But one wants beauty in life as well as food and raiment." "Beauty. Yes. But mere striving after effect or novelty Is not beauty. That is where I say we fail to discriminate. We are not criticcj. Anything new or different we hail with acclaim. We do not stop to see If it has real merit in it. We are like children. We con tinually want something new. We are eager for change and we spend our life and strength hurrying after it, to get the alphabet in the soup." The other laughed. "And we hurry and scurry the same way after other things equally useless. A great part of our lives Is filled with the chase after useless thinps foolish fashions, social affairs that give us nothing but a bad taste In the mouth next morning, a home life that is a wearisome complexity Instead of rest ful simplicity." "I am afraid that your soup has not agreed with you," laughed the other. "I'll confess it certainly has stirred me & bit." smiled the Housekeeper, "because these letters in It are so typi cal of our waste of time and talent. I can't imagine the people who make these letters enjoying their work. It must be very wearisome to them and stultifying to what intellect they have. Yet I can 'imagine their making things they would thoroughly enjoy. Such employment works harm in several ways. Suppose they were making beautiful silks or tapestries or ham mering out exquisite metal work in stead of making this -useless stuff! Don't you Imagine they would find more pleasure in that?" "I don't believe people who work In factories get much pleasure out of their work, whether they make silk or let ters for soup," replied the other prac ticallq. "As some factories and workers are today. perhaps not," admitted the Housekeeper. "But make the environ ment as it should be and then the na ture of the work to be done will matter a great deal. And the worker who is making something beautiful and worth while will be happier than the one who is producing useless things to minister to vanity or the mere desire for nov elty." "Here comes the fish, laughed the other. "I hope there are no building blocks or Noah's Ark animals garnish ing that." "You see yourself how childish such things are," smiled the Housekeeper.
