NEEDLE TO REPLACE
TEAS DURING LENT
Society Matrons and Maids to
Knit for Soldiers at Front
for 40-Day Period.
BUSY SEASON IS OUTLINED
Mufflers Are Popular Handiwork,
but Few Debutantes Try Socks.
Smart Set Abuzz With Plans
for Charitable Tasks.
Click, click, click! Knitting needles
irill fly during Lent. Society maids
are preparing to give up cards and
dancing and devote the 40 days of the
1-enten season to knitting lor soldiers
and doing charitable work for those
whom fortune has not favored.
Kver since last September, when the
frlrls of the smart set came back from
the seashore and mountain resorts and
from trips in the Kast and abroad,
knitting has been popular, but during
the season that begins February 17,
knitting will be the greatest of all
social accomplishments. Unless one
has become mistress of the art by the
time Ash Wednesday arrives, she will
not be considered at all "smart" or
"correct."
Need Abroad Considered.
Such is the decree of the leaders
among the younger exclusive set. At
a tea recently at the home of the
British consul, instructions in knitting
were distributed that the girls might
make their handimork in accord with
the practical rules that prevail In the
countries engaged in the conflict
abroad. Miss Violet Erskine, the at
tractive young daughter of Consul and
Mrs. Thomas Erskine, is deft with the
knitting needles. In fact the prettiest
and most popular girls are the most
enthusiastic in the work that will be
the popular diversion of Lent.
Scores of teas for the English, Amer
ican and German Red Cross societies
liave been given in the past few
months, but these will not continue
from February IT until Easter. Thimble
bees and muffler-knitting afternoons
will replace the pre-Lenten functions.
Mufflers Are Made.
"We have been making the mufflers
In gray wools." said Miss Malzie Mac
Master, "but In Canada the girls are
using the olive drab, as it is the same
color as the uiforms.
Miss MacMaster. with her parents
and sister. Miss Ailsa MacMaster, was In
Kurope when the war commenced and
the famllv has many Iriends in me
armies of the allies.
Miss Claire Wilcox, a statuesque
beauty and one of the most graceful
dancers in Portland society, is en
thuslastlc over knitting.
"Whv everyone knits mufflers now,
aid Miss Wilcox. "Certainly, they
wniil.l not think of doing fancy work
for the practical work has taken Its
ttlfl.ee"
Mlss Isabella Gauld. another prom
inent society maid, also is an expert
with the needle. She. often knits in
stead of playing bridge. Many of her
coterie of friends meet during the
afternoons and wherever they go, carry
with them their dainty workDags con
taining wool and needles.
Socks Tried by Some. ,
-All the society girls of Portland
are Interested in some charity or work
that is worth while." said Mrs. Joseph
v Teni "There are many splendid
-unselfish young people with whom the
social gatherings are merely inciueu--and
these are all among those who are
working, either for tnose in neeu.
for those affected by the war. Thos

A few of the girls are trying their

v....i n ninn and mufflers are all
most of them can master. Some of the
debutantes haven't acquired the habit
yet. but it is in the air ana aireauj
Lenten resolutions are being made.
Before all else, however, will come
the skating party next Friday In be

by the Fruit and Flower Mission.
Next on milady's calendar is the ball
to be given at Multnomah Hotel, Jan

Hush! They say some of the dancing
steps staged at recent high scjiooi
functions have caused a tilt between
school teachers and pupils.
About a year ago, at the instance oi
the Methodist ministers of Portland,
the School Board ruled all forms of
dancing, including the folk steps, out
of the public school curricula, except
in the first, second and third graoes,
where folk song games have been per
mitted under the tutelage, of Robert
Krohn. head of the, physical training
department in the public schools.
'So far as I know not a dancing
step has been taught In the schools
since the order of the Board about a
year ago," said Mr. Krohn yesterday.
The School Board does permit the use
of the school assembly hall for dan
cing under proper chaperonage, but
this Is entirely independent of the
school programme."
Halt Called on "Step."
At the social high school dances It
is usual to place one number on the
programme that allows consmeraDie
atitude to Individual adaptation, xnis,
In distinction from the waltzes and
two-steps. Is named "step and, in an
ticipation of the free rein that is in
variably allowed during this music
every swain is certain to book his
sweetheart, . Occasionally when this
dance is in progress a few couples are
yanked" on 'cause'' determined by the
chaperons, whose duty it is to keep
watch to prevent "ragging" or too
much of the hesitation variety. At one
of the recent large dances such a. wave
of enthusiasm swept the entire floor
that it was necessary to stop the music
and deny a continuation despite the
clamor raised by the high school stu
dents. They were forced to listen to a
lecture as well. These school dances
are closed promptly at 11:30 o'clock
that the hall may be vacated before
midnight.
Board Checks Dance.
Nothing but a total abstinence of
dancing will entirely eliminate 'rag
ging,' " said Lola G. Baldwin yesterday.
But the dancing today is of a better
tone now than ever before. This is due
to the provisions in our law for ln-
nection of public dancing ana ior ine
registration of all dancing pavilions.
As a result of the success of our law,
officials in many states and large cities
are sending for copies of it."
Xot many weeks ago complaint about
alleged objectionable dancing In many
of the public school buildings at so
called school dances caused the school
authorities to place further restric
tions on the use of school buildings for
entertainment purposes. Previous to
this ruling protests poured in from all
sides that unpleasant features marked
many of the dances in the school build
ings and that it was almost impossible
to limit what many parents deemed
"careless innovations."
These were not official school dances
but were purposely so-called by their
promoters, who, purely as Individuals,
wished to engage in a good time under
the guise and guarantee of conducting
school dances. Hereafter no dance will
be permitted in a school building un
less it is strictly a school dance and
unless the authorities have given their
consent to the. programme and have
made proper arrangements for chap-1
erons.

BY LEONE CASS BAER.
The welcome return to the Baker
Theater of "The Virginian" yesterday
brought out a big theaterful of loyal
admirers and others who were seeing
the beloved play for the first time.
There have been many Virginians to
follow in the footsteps of Dustln Far
num, and many an ambitious actor has
put on chaps and a swagger in emula
unn nf Frank Camoeau as Trampas:
many a yoi-.ng, ambitious one has played
the lovable role or tsteve, ana me
is a lengthy one of the leading women
who have portrayed dear little llollie
Wood, the schoolteacher from Vermont,
who "didn't understand our ways." The
Baker Players give a carefully-considered,
nicely-balanced presentation of
the play one that registers.
Robert Gleckler gives a manly, virile
tnrtv nf he title role. His Southern
dialect Is rich arid falls delightfully on
the hearing. His comedy is especially
likeable and particularly impressive in
his scene with Honey Wiggln, when
they play their game of monte with the
babies at the christening party.
Speaking of Honey Wiggin, that role
i- .Hmirghlv nlaved by F. Keenan Wal
lace, who is such an excellent rough
character actor that when he drops the
Initial before his perfectly good name
ha will be eligible for even bigger roles.
His title role in "Officer 666" Is gone
several better in his old Honey wiggin.
Indelibly stamped in memory is wiu
am F. Lloyd's lean, snarling, alert and
m-ntio. TramDas one or tne Desi
painted pictures in the gallery full to
this clever actor's credit.
To William F. Powell Is given me
role of Steve, and to its depiction he
bends every talent and they are many
in his possession.
Marv Edeett Baker plays the littU
schoolteacher, who loves tne Virginian,
with a deliehtfully wide range ol
mnndi and inflections and great tender.
ness. For so young an actress she has
amazing composure and dignity.
Walter B. Gilbert as spanisn i-a
makes a fine showing, Cliff Lancaster
as Nebrasky and Clarke Sllvernail as
Baldy add cheer and good spirits.
The cast is a lengthy one, witn dozens
of "extra people" to give us all the
guests at the christening, and the cow
bovs.
Florence Roberts is the much-con
cerned Mrs. Heare. mother of the twins,
Fayette and Leonidas, and Eileen Wil
son is the bored-to-death Mrs. Ogden
from New York.
The olay as presented Is faithful In
scenic detail and makes a coioriui pic

SEAL LOST TO STATE
MOVEMENT TO HAVE TERRITOltlAL
STAMP ADOPTED IS TOO LATE.
Exports From Colombia River for
Three Weeks Estimated to Have
Value of f2,KO0,0O0.
Despite the slump of five points In
the Chicago wheat market reported
Saturday, the Portland market remains
practically unchanged, due. It Is said,
to the fact that Portland Is an export
market and foreign quotations are at
the same level. . Chicago Is regarded
as the only speculative grain market
In the country, while In Portland there
has been no speculating of any ac
count in wheat. .
The Chicago break was credited to
the report that the Government wouH
put an embargo on wheat, but locally
this Is felt to be a remote possibility.
It is thought Congress would be slow
to enforce such a restriction, while a
large surplus above domestic needs re
mains in this country.
The United States is second only to
Russia In the export of wheat. As an
instance of the surplus on band the
Merchants' Exchange gives figures for
the year 1901, when the United States
crop was 748,000,000 bushels, of which
235,000,000 bushels were sent abroad.
This year the Government estimated
the wheat crop in this country at more
than 900,000,000 bushels, and to date
less than 200,000.000 bushels have been
exported.
Wheat exports irom fortiana ror tne
three weeks ending January 30 will
bring $2,500,000 from Europe Into the
Pacific Northwest, according to esti
mates of the Merchants' Exchange.
During the past week 839,842 bushels
of grain, valued at $1,250,000. cleared
from Portland for foreign ports. Ship
ments In sight for the coming week
will aggregate 700,000 bushels, of an
approximate value of $1,000,000. and
the export of wheat for the week fol
lowing undoubtedly will reach 600,00
bushels.
For Kearly Two Years lnslanla Has
Been Used Officially by County
of Multnomah.
The State of Oregon has lost Its op
portunity to substitute the old terri
torial seal for the present one. In June,
1913, at the instance of Chairman Hol
man. who is president of the Oregon
Historical Society, the Board of Com
missioners of Multnomah County
adopted the territorial seal as Its own.
George H. Himes, curator of the His
torical Society, had planned to ask the
present Legislature to adopt the old
seal, which is regarded as more truly
representative of the state than Is tire
present one. A few changes were to
have been made; 33 stars were to have
been added to signify Oregon's admis
sion as' the 33d state. The crest, a
beaver. Is absent from the present Ore
gon seal, and. Inasmuch as Oregon is
known as the "Beaver state," this is
regarded by the historian as Important.
When, through an act of the ll'll
Legislnture. the Board of County 'om
mlbsloncrs was organized. Chairman
liolmaii determined the Board should
have an official seal. Through his In
fluence the territorial seal was sdiptfl,
and the motto, "Alls V'olat Proprlls" (I
fly by my own wings) became the motto
of Multnomah County's Board.
Members of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, as well as mem
bers of the Historical Society, worn
behind the movement to have the ter
ritorial seal adopted by the state.
