RUTH wua a little girl only 8 years old. but she was a great help to Ju-r mother. 1 am telling this story to the littlo boys as well as the girls, because boys In these days often wash the dishes or scrub the floor and steps, and do many things to help their mothers on Saturdays. Kuth's mother kept one maid, but the house was large, and her mother had a great deal to do. In the morning Kuth would bob up her hair and take her bath without any assistance from her mother had a great deal to do. Jn the morning Ruth would bob up her hair and take her bath without i any assistance from her mother. Then i the would dress herself and comb her hair ready for her mother to braid. You see that helped her mother very much tn the morning, when there are to many tilings to do. Kuth went to school, of course, but on Saturdays she dusted her room and helped her mother make the beds, so that the cook could spend her time baking. But one day cook left, and the next morning Ruth's mother awoke with a sick headache. "I'll go downtown for my breakfast," ;tid her father. "Can you manage to get yours?" he asked Ruth. "Yes, indeed," answered Ruth. "I can make toast and boil eggs." "Can you?" said her father: "then I think I will stay here for breakfast. 1 did not know my daughter was such a good housekeeper." "I cannot make coffee." said Ruth. 'l think 1 can make that," her father Eaid; "anyway, I will try." Kuth prepared the oranges just as sne naa seen cook, xnen sne toastea the thin slices of bread and buttered them. These she put in a covered dish and placed on the shelf of the stove to keep warm. The egg cups she put Kin hot water, and when she had boiled the eggs just three minutes, she care fiflly opened them into the hot cups, which kept them warm until they had eaten their fruit. When breakfast was over her father said it was as nice as he had ever eaten, and Ruth felt very proud. After her father had gone Ruth thought." "Mother should have a cup of tea. I wonder if I can make it?" .She filled the tea ball just as she-fad fen her mother do. and when it looked as strong as she thought it should she put a doily on a tray and a nice thin piece of toast and took it to her mother. Her mother drank the tea and ate the tast. "1 feel better already." she said, but who made the tea?" "I did", replied Ruth, "just as you do in the afternoon with the tea ball." "What a helpful little daughter I Jtave!' said her mother, kissing her. wish all mothers had such a good little girl." Kuth felt very pleased as she walked! I along to school that mornin "I am glad I can help mother," she said, "for I guess I was a great deal of trouble to her when I was a baby." Of course, all the boys and girls may not have an opportunity to do just what Ruth did, but there are many other Mays to help mother, especially on Saturdays. If you take the baby out for a little while that helps, and if you dust a room that helps, too. Then every day when you come in from school if you put your hat and coat in the proper place, that saves mother many steps, and your muddy boots well wiped on the hall mat will save her work as well. Putting your books and toys In the corner where they belong after you have finished with them saves motner much work. I hope the story of Ruth will make some little boy or girl more thoughtful of mother and that you will try to help her with the many things she has to do.

Wr Yoffiemuub) Jtyd&Aafylitffabi&. The UuNiueaMi Wvmun W ho See Aut A friend was telling me the other day of an acquaintance of hers who is a salesgirl in a large department store. The saleswoman, it seems, is of that class of women who label themselves as being in "reduced circumstances.' She was brought up in a home of wealth, but at her father's death his affairs were in such a condition there was little left for herself and an in valid sister. Her education was of the unpractical sort of many years ago, for she is a middle-aged woman now, and there was little she could do. As there were no near relatives to come to her own and her sister's rescue, she finally secured the position she still holds one of the big department stores of one of our big cities. And for the past 10 years or so she has supported herself and her sister on her earnings. But my frietid was lamenting that she did not know what would become of her saleswoman friend, that the fu ture looked rather blank for her. For she hasn't kept up with the times. She has lived in her past, fehe has- relied on the financial position Her father once had and the social position that once was hers to give her prestige. She thinks that because she is who she is, this is sufficient. And stie is now de cidedly frumpy, dowdy, old-fashioned and somewhat set in her ways. And progressive department stores do not want such salespeople. They do not want, over-dressed sales girls, but they want neat, smartly- attired, bright-looking women back of their counters. Her age would not be against her had she made use of the opportunities age has brought. Her experience would be valuable had she learned all she might have learned in ber decade of selling. about the goods she handles. And if she would use her eyes to note how the other salespeople about her dress, and then add a simple smartness to her 10 years of experience, .a bright future instead of a dark one would lie ahead of her in the business world. But she doesn't. She is oblivious to the change that in the last few years has come over the selling force of our stores. Because she is who she is and believes this has value, she thinks it doesn't matter if she is frump and untidy. She thinks it Is of little im portance if her hair Is not neatly ar ranged, her dress not brushed, her hands not so immaculate as they might be. And so my friend fears she is on the sliding scale for down and out. And very probably she is. The middle-aged woman has a double fight to make today to bold her position in the business world. Experience counts for something, but appearance counts for much also. And the woman of advan cing years who falls in the little mat ters of the toilette is near the "firing line" in the business worM. And this woman, being the kind she is, never held a very lucrative posi tion. In all her ten years, she has been advanced little. Her salary has been small. And she has saved little. So my friend is right in her apprehen sion for the saleswoman's future. But such a future need not have been hers. All about her were object les sons from which she could take notes. She had but to use her eyes to see what was expected of the saleswomen of to day. But her eyes were turned to the past, or else she was so self-satisfied she felt quite content rith her appear ance. But for success today in the business ABSOLUTELY no excitement at tended the nomination meeting of the Portland Woman's Club yesterday afternoon. The ballots cast were al most unanimous in favor of the fol lowing: President, Mrs. G. J. Frankel; first vice-president, Mrs; J. W. Tifft; second vice-president, Airs. C. B.

PASSOVER FEAST NEAR SERVICES TO BE HELD AT TEMPLE BETH ISRAEL NEXT WEEK. Festival Symbolic and Historical In Character Rabbt Wise to Conduct Meetings Open to Public. The famous Feast of the Passover, the seven days' festival observed by Jewish people in the early Spring in commemoration of the exodus from Egypt, will be observed by the various synagogues of Portland. The public, regardless of religious faith, is invited to attend. Rabbi Jonah B. Wise will conduct services at Temple Beth Israel. Serv ices will be conducted at 6 P. M. Mon day and 10 A. M. Tuesday. Rabbi Wise will speak Tuesday morning. In ancient Jewish life, the Passover was the first of the three Pilgrim fes tivals, upon which every male Jew was required to present himself in person at' the central sanctuary In Jerusalem. Although the Passover has certain fea tures in common with the universal Spring festival, its historical signifl cance accounts for its religious observ ance. It Is the great independence day of the Jew; the first event in his national history, an event which became funda mental in all his thinking, too, as evi denced bv the frequent reference to' the great deliverance. The festival is ushered in by a fam ily service, called the Seder, at which certain symbolic ceremonials are ob served. Each participant and the lowliest is privileged to sit at the table that night is required to drink four cups of wine, in memory of the four promises made to redeem Israel from bondage.: On the table are the unleavened cakes (matzos), the shin-bone of a lamb (roasted on the coals), commem orative of the Paschal sacrifice, a roasted egg. a mixture of apples and nuts (charoseth), to symbolize the mortar with which the "Egyptians made bitter the lives" of the fathers. and bitter herbs Onaror), reminiscent of the unhappy days in Egypt. In sons and story, the tale of tne oppression and the deliverance is re hearsed. Psalms of thanksgiving (hallel), strike the keynote of the oc casion. The services, interrupted for the family dinner, closes with a num ber of merry folk-songs, expressive of the character of the celebration. During the week of the festival, un leavened bread is eaten instead of the usual leaven. In orthodox homes, great care is taken that all traces of leaven be removed before the begin ning of the festival. Sets of dishes. otherwise unused, are provided. Services are held in the synagogue and sermons preached in keeping with the thoughts of the festival. Excerpts from, or, in some cases, the whole of the book of "The Song of Songs" are read.

Dr. William T. Bawden, Federal In vestigator of public schools, spoke on vocational teaching at Washington High School Friday night Dr. Baw den urged pro-vocational training to save time later when It was of more value. This is done by having a stu dent attend a school of manual train ing for a few months where he would be given a start in various vocations, and the one to which he responded most rapidly would then be chosen for his future training when he left the ele mentary schools. L. K. Alderman, Superintendent of the public schools, already has arranged for pro-vocational training, which will will be given at Ockley-Green School, over which Edgar H. Whitney is prin cipal. The rest of Dr. Bawden's ad dress was similar to the others he has made elsewhere in Portland. Mr. Baw den left for Salem yesterday morning and goes then to Oregon Agricultural College, and to California, as he will not visit the University of Oregon.

Baking Helps Valuable Suggestions By Mrs. Kevada Priggs, Exponent ej the Art of ISakinj?, as taught by Mrs. Janet McKcnzie Hill D.lpful Caka Mmklai Blala Always sift flonr and KC Baking Powder at least three times. The more sifting, the lighter the cake. Remember that! To cream but ter and sugar quickly, warm the sugar slightly. Beat yolks of eggs with rotary beater. Whip whites of eggs with flat spoon whip. Water makes lighter cakes; milk makes richer cakes. To mix a cake, first cream but ter and sugar thoroughly, then add yolks, if used. Then alternately add moisture and flour that has been sifted with baking powder and stir until smooth and glossy, adding egg whites after thoroughly mixing. 'Always use K C Baking Powder. Biscuit Helps Alwayssift flour and KC Baking Powder at least three times. Have shortening cold and firm. Mix dough as soft as it can be handled. The softer dough goes into the oven, the lighter the. biscuit when it comes out. It is easier for K C Baking Powder to' do its work in soft than in stiff dough. Mix biscuits very little.'
