Clubwomen always are interested in club affairs, and the women of Port land have been particularly attracted to the success of the Ebell Club of Los Angeles, as a former Portlander, Mrs. William Lawrence Jones, was the president last year and was enter tained here. Mrs. W. S. Bartlett is the president now and the organization continues to flourish. This is the lar gest woman's club in the world. It was patterned after the Oakland Ebell, which was organized in 1876 by Dr. Adrian Ebell, of Berlin. Los Angeles Ebell was organized in 1894. At its last meeting the president urged the members "to keep Ebell a sanctuary of the ideal." The success of this club, its liberal patronage of art. phi lanthropies and matters of civic inter est make it an organization that should Inspire pride in all the women of this coast. o The Spell of Kindness. M;t; upon a time there lived a youth named Joel, who did not seem to care much about work or try in any way to help his mother, who was a widow and had to work to take care of them. One day after becoming very angry with Joel, his mother said, "Ton shall not have a morsel to eat until you go to. the woods and gather faggots to make the fire. Then I will cook you the cabbage I brought back from the village. Joel took his cap from the peg be hind the door and started off, walking so slow and looking so stupid that his mother called after him to hurry or the sun would set before he returned with the wood. When Joel reached the forest he saw by the roadside just before he turned into the forest an old woman asleep with her head resting on a stone. "Poor old lady," thought Joel, "she looks tired and I know that stone must hurt her head. I will make a pil low of my coat and put it under her head." So. without awakening her. he nn tly lifted the old woman's head and put under it his coat. When he had gathered the faggots and was returning he passed again the place where the old woman was sleep ing, and as she was still asleep he did not awaxen ner to get his coat. here is your coat?" asked his mother when he reached home, and wnen ne told ner had made a pil low of It for the old woman, she scolded him roundly ar.d said: "Now you will go without a coat aU the win- Crull ers, m All Cakes, Biscuits, Hot Breads More Tasty, Economical, Absolutely Healthful 3 -SU, ROYAL BAKING POWDER WAS USED EX CLUSIVELY IN THE OREGONIAN'S FREE SCHOOL OF HOME ECONOMICS LAST WEEK. ter, and if you are cold don't blame me." Joel did not think- any more about the coat until it became cold weather, and one morning he went out of his house shivering as the cold wind struck him, and wishing he had his coat. Great was his surprise when lie saw hanging on a tree in front of the house the very coat he had put under the head of the old woman in the Sum mer. Joel put it on and ran into the house to show his mother. "Look, mother." he said, "here is my coat back at the very time I needed it, and it has a new warm lining. I wonder who could have done It." "I don't know," his mother replied, "but now that you have a warm coat, you better go into the forest and see if you can find faggots enough to keep us warm for another day. I do not know what will become of us; we have no wood to make a fire to keep us irom freezing. Never fear, mother, answered Joel. I will find some wood." And off he went to the forest. 'I wish I had a nice, warm oair of mittens." thought Joel, whose hands were cold, and no sooner had he wished than upon his hands appeared a paid of thick mittens. Joel looked at them in a stupid way and thought: "I must nave had them on all the time and did not know it." When he began to look for frfrnt he found only a few stray pieces scarcely an armfull. 'Oh. dear. I wish I could fin a r-art- load to take to poor mother," he sighed. And then Joel rubbed his eves nnd stared, for on the ground before him he saw a cart full of faggots. HOW will I get them VinmA?" thought Joel. "I have a cart full of faggots, but I have no horse to draw mem. t wish I had one lust to -.t them to our door." There was the horse harnessed to the cart as soon as the wish was out of his mouth. Joel jumped into the cart and drove up to the door, his mother ran out and asked. "Where did you get the horse and cart and all the wood? It will last us me rest oi tne Winter." 'I don't know." said Joel. "T in. wished I had them, and there they were before me." But his mother did not bellevo -him and was about to punish him to make him tell where he got them when an oia woman noooied up to the door and said. "Your son speaks the truth, he wished for the cart, the horse and the laggots to neip you, and because he was kind to an old woman once and gave her his coat for a pillow it has been returned to him with the marie power upon it which will grant any wish no manes. "It is lined with kindness, inn n long as ne is kind his wish will be granted wnenever he wears the coat ' The old woman hobbled n w v i. atr- ing Joel and his mother looking after ner wnn wiae-open eyes.

Sometimes their husbands call to take them out to dinner or to take them home, and it makes me happy to see the smile they give each other when they meet.

"Dear Miss Blake: We are two girls of 18 and we often go out Sunday nights. We went downtown last Sun day night and two fellows followed us home. There was one fellow the other girl was crazy about, and he took her home; but the next time we went out we met the same fellows, but the fel low the girl friend of mine was In love with took me home. I asked him why he did not take the other girl, and he said it was because he likes me. We love him and we would like to know which one of us he likes the best, the one he took first or the one he took last. "ANXIOUS. The young man probably does" not care anything for either of you.

He has taken me home four times, but never makes a date. I was told that he was bashful and that he never takes a girl home more than once. But he has taken me home four times. I heard if he takes a girl home more than once he likes her. But taking me home the way he has and never making a date seems to me it doesn't show he likes me. although he treats me very nice.

Dear Miss Blake I have been reading your advice and in all cases it seemed to be the proper thing to do. Am, therefore, going to turn to you to as sist me in doing what is right. A little over a year ago, while on a vacation trip, there was a young man sitting across the aisle. I was looking out the window, patiently waiting to get home, when he spoke and pres ently took the vacant seat opposite me. We spent about half a day together on the train and when we parted 1 had become quite interested in him, which apparently was reciprocated. e correspondent for a year and this Summer again met, though dur ing the past year I had learned to think a great deal of him and our let ters were frequent and a little more than friendly. I went out with him while he was here and he seemed vecy affectionate. I did not stop him and in some instances returned them. I have written him a couple of letters. but he has only sent me two cards. though he stated he would write. Doris BlakeS .Advice. w HEN I overheard someone make that old-time remark, "Girls will be girls." the other day I began to re fleet. Is it really true? Is it a girl's ambition now to be only a girl, to hide her frivolities and shortcomings be hind the screen of sex? At that point the girls whom I knew came to my mind in all their pride and youth and strength. They are full of ambition. They seek, in their leisure hours, the gymnasiums and swimming tanks, that they may be strong like their brothers. They go to work in the morning like their brothers, proud to bear their share of the burden of existence. bometimes it seems as if the old adage should read: "Girls will be boys." Not that any nice normal girl wisnes to acquire the failings of boys. Dut their strength and their good points. Tennyson has expressed the thought in ' Ane iTificess.
