St. Helen's Hall began its 47th year yesterday with a large enrollment In academic, elementary, primary and kin dergarten departments. Bishop Sum ner gave the opening address. Tha trustees. Rev. W. A. M. Breck, Rev. John Dawson and Archdeacon Cham bers were present. The school is housed during the year at the corner of Everett and Nine teenth streets in the residence form erly occupied by the Kpiscopal Bishop of Oregon. The sisters of St. John Baptist and the chapel of the school will occupy the adjoininsr residence, which has been connected by a cloister. The classes will meet in the gym nasium building on Vista avenue, as they have been since the school burned over a year ago. The numbers, how ever, necessitate additional . school rooms, and so the trustees are putting up a kindergarten building on the site of the old St. Helen's Hall. The grounds are to be put into at tractive condition and the building promises to restore to the vacant lot some of the attractiveness which it has lost through the burning of the former buildings. In addition to the kindergarten there will be established a teaching school for kindergarten teachers, offering an attractive course for young women who would like to take up this type of work for children. The school promises to resume its old-time place in the educational life Of Portland. MR. BOSCHKE IS PRAISED Galveston Tells or Test on AVall Built by Portland Engineer. " At the time of the recent disastrous flood at Galveston. Tex., many Portland people were gratified to learn that the famous Galveston seawall, built by a Portland man. had withstood the severe tests that nature had applied against it. . The seawall was built folio-wing the first Galveston flood of 1901. George W. Boschke, until recently chief en gineer of the O.-W. It. & X. Company, was the engineer who designed and built the wall. Although he is living now in San Francisco, he maintains his residence here. -I Lewis Fisher. Mayor of Galveston Sent the following letter to Sir. Boschke. ." "Our seawall stood like the rock of Gibraltar, notwithstanding the fact that the sea pounded against it for about o hours, and a big three-masted schooner pounded against it time and time again for five or six hours. The schooner broke to pieces, but the sea wall stands without a blemish. The test to which the wall was put deter mines beyond a doubt that it was well built and stands as a monument today to the credit of its designers and builders. . MRS. G0DDARD HAS DECREE Property Rights Setllod by Wealthy IUnvbemian Out of Court. , Mrs. Irene Goddard received a di vorce yesterday from Iloland M. God dard. a wealthy lumberman, in Circuit Judge Morrow's court. Property rights and alimony were settled out of court and the testimony given by Mrs. God dard and one other witness covered practically the same allegations that bad been mentioned in the complaint. . The Goddards were married- in 1911. They have one child. 17 months old. Mrs. Goddard charged that her hus band neglected his home, ran tip large bills and failed to pay them, leaving rier to face the collectors, and that he lived luxuriously in Tacoma and Se attle while she was in want at their borne In Portland. , There wasn't room or time to chat yesterday there were so many big sales going on all through, the stores And the crowds isn't a crowd an in teresting thing to watch! If people only realized how much of their real character cropped out every time they went out to shop the things they buy and the way they buy them and but dear me, I could fill half a dozen columns on the subject and I mustn't. To continue our little journey ' - After leaving the kiddies I walked around to the other side tf the sec ond floor attracted by some charm ing baskets and cushions in glass cases sewing baskets and lovely bags the kind used by dainty wo men in their boudoirs and for opera glasses . and dancing slippers and what ' not and they weren't expen sive at all some were but little more than a dollar. The underwear is to blame about as often as the laundry when gar ments come back shrunken and ill-fitting! The fit of a Munsing garment is shaped-in, in stead of basted-in.

One woman was having all her linens initialed in her own monogram and an- other 'was planning some bright splashes of color for various rooms. She bought half a dozen of the most fetching new French flower holders just imported slender glass affairs covered with silk and gold and tiny French buds of a size to hold from two to half a dozen long stemmed flowers The unusual thing about them is that you can put them any place at all and they'll stay held in place by some sort of patented rubber arrangement Lovely for gifts! And as usual, Meier & Frank's is the first place to show them! There was a tea table set; and on it was the most unique cloth of very fine linen, embroidered in an original and artistic Japanese outline design and I saw a woman buy one to use with a quaint tea set she had the price of the stamped cloth was $2.50 and I'd like to take tea at that house some day. Ana there was quite a little "sew ing bee" going on in the far corner I asked if they were " holding a special "knitting for the sol- IV ' diers" meeting but fc5 R R a 1 iv o m a n laughed and said it was the usual after noon crowd learn ing its favorite needlework You know, there are free instructions every afternoon from 2;30 until 5. One sweet-faced, white-haired wo man was knitting a sweater for the granddaughter and a young girl cro cheting a filet pillow cover and ever so many were learning new Macromie stitches and others doing fetching blouses and lingerie and bits of col ored work for tea cloths and luncheon sets and trays and everybody was sewing so busily and laughing so hap pily and having such a good time talking about new Fall clothes and curtains and furnishings and teas and tangos and matinees that 1 said to myself: "Mary Ann, 'it's rather strenu ous being a lady of leisure these days" but you have to be busy doing something to be happy and there's always a decidedly busy hum at M. & F.'s and I'll tell you more about it soon And ail through Children's at 95c oilet .
