Lamb. 1640 Ala meda Drive, are being felicitated upon the arrival of a son, born January 13, who has been named Dumont Potter Lamb, Jr. THERE Is no note of sameness in the mid-Winter fashions to dull the enthusiastic shopper. Practically everything is different and all that suggests Winter to now in the Portland shops. The Spring things will be here at the close of January. An open se cret about the stores is the story that the Spring styles will be almost Iden tical with the Winter fashions, only varied in places. For instance, we are to have the same pleated and circular skirts but enlivened with stitchings. braid, bandings and on some materials ruffles. There is to be a decided waistline. Stripes are still good and will run around instead of up and down. Any one who possesses a smart little taf feta frock which was in vogue at tne beginning of the Winter will be happy over the news that the same dress will be perfectly good this Spring. Taf feta suits, some of them three-piece, will be worn all Spring with hats of the same material. Soft broadcloths, that are not too heavy A quality and of the same style as were worn this Fall and winter, will be popular this Spring and will be braided Instead of fur-trimmed, borne interesting models are worked up In whipcords and leather. Leather is to be henceforth a regular part of mi lady's apparel. Striped, plaid or plain circular skirts will be soon seen with white and colored leather sport coats. Some of the coats are knee length, some shorter and some slip over the head like a sailor blouse. With leather hat to match, the new sport coat is indeed smart. Street frocks with high collars and lines unique and original are coming daily. They are of Georgette crepe, with broadcloth and plain taffeta com bined with strips and plaids. Gaber dines are also combined with silks, or severely plain with queer braided cuffs and collars. A number of new hats that are being shown are interesting and decidedly different from any which have recent ly been designed. A cretonne brim provides merely a base for a striking near-wicker crown, which is medium high and full and of moderate width. The whole is suggestive of a prettily draped artistic bit of porch furniture. A gray hat with a vivid Prussian blue facing and little piquant fruits dan gling from the- top of the crown is chic. Still another hat for early Spring in of heavy satin with golden brown, silvery gray and green leaves and Spring buds that are still green and small and Springlike for trimmings.

The housekeeper who plods along cooking and sweeping and mending may not realise all that Is being done for her work, but it Is being analyzed, probed, dissected as never before. And not only are its material aspects being considered in all their phases with a view, of course, to betteiment. but its ethical values are coming in for scrutiny. And this self-same plodding housekeeper will Wake up some day to lind that the revolution so long desired and worked for by thinking women in regard to housekeeping has taken place. House keeping will have come into its own. and the housekeeper will be given that which she lias hitherto been excluded. A noted writer and speaker said re cently. ".No other work yields larger or more continuous values than house keeping." The aforesaid plodding housekeeper may not agree with this. She Is apt to sniff rather scornfully and think there is little of real value in cooking three meals a day that are gobbled and forgotten; or in straightening up the house to have it immediately thrown Into confusion again. The whole thing seems to her a monotonous round that has little of permanent profit in it. Who is right about it? Are there or are there not profits in housekeeping? If there are. what are they? If a woman sees only the immediate tasks of cooking and sweeping and mending, tasks must be repeated seem ingly without end, she may see little of permanent value in housekeeping. But if she sees these tasks as simply cogwheels in a complicated but most effective piece of machinery that is turning out something valuable for life and the community, and the run ning of which is in her hands, she may - begin to glimpse some of the values that are today coming forward as the housekeeper's rewards. The preparation of food means health and vigor and physical happiness for the members of her family. The cleanliness and order of the home brings a feeling of peace and contentment to those who come in and go out. The wise regulation and expenditure of the income give a sense of steadi ness and permanence not only to the family itself, but to the community. Every woman who manages the fam ily income in a business-like, judicious way. is an inspiration and an example to others to do so. She is the proof that it can be done. In a word, the home can stand for health, for contentment, for sound bus iness management, for a force for eth ical good. These are the profits of housekeeping and they belong to the one who runs the household machinery. Are they not large and of real and permanent value? Indeed do they not show that the housekeeper's work reaches into the vital things of life? In reality, she is dealing with veritable life substance. She molds it and shapes it. not only to bring good to herself and her own, but to her .community. And she can do this whether her home is small or large, whether her means are limited or generous, whether she lives in a back street in a sordid quarter or on a broad thoroughfare in a fashionable district. It is not a ques tion of her surroundings. It is a ques tion of herself, her outlook, her spirit. And after all that brings it home to each one of us, does it not? What are the profits you and I are getting out of our housekeeping? Have we narrowed it down till we see noth ing but the daily grind of cooking and dishwashing and sweeping and mend ing? Or can we see these merely as the cogwheels in a piece of machinery that is weaving a beautiful fabric of life to bring Joy to those we love and good to the community about us?

"Now, Polly, I want you to help me wash up these dishes before father gets home," said the mother, coming to the door quickly. So Polly had to put down her book and come into the kitchen to lend a hand to her busy mother. "Now, child, take this pail and bring some fresh water for supper," remarked Mrs. Gordon presently.

It was very pretty over in the woods, but the meadow was far lovelier with its smooth, green sod, and about it were scattered the sheep, some lying in the shade of the trees. That little lamb has an easy time not a thing to do but play all day," re marked Polly-aloud. "I wish I could change places. It Is school, then help about the house till I am tired to death. ' As Polly stooped to dip the bucket she noticed a beautiful ring lying in the bottom of the spring. But before she could reach to get it the bushes opened and an old witch walked out, leaning on a stick. "I dropped by ring Jn the spring just now, child," she exclaimed, "and I wish you would get it out for me." Now Polly thought it strange that the witch did not get the ring herself till she remembered that some witches are afraid of water. So she knew at once that this won.an must be a witch, and she determined to make a bargain. 'I will get you the ring." she said, "if you will grant me my wish." The witch said she would grant one wish for the firl. so Polly dippped down and fished out the ring. "Now make your wish." said the witch, as she waved her hand over tne girl three times. And Polly wished that she might be a lamb, playing about the meadow. The next moment she felt she had four legs instead of two, that her clothing was gone and fn place of it was soft wool. And when she opened her mouth to scream she only said "Baa! Baa!" Badly frightened, she Tan toward the sheep and one old ram put down his head and butted her down. As fast as she got up he would knock her down with his head, so she fled down the road toward a grove. Now there was a picnic being held in the grove and when the children &aw a sheep coming they began to throw stones at It to drive it home. But Polly was so miserable that she ran to a group of schoolmates that she "Oh!" the girls screamed, "that lamb Is going to butt us; drive it away!" And they dashed away to climb a fence. The boys threw mud and sticks at Polly, who set out on a run for her own home.

"Oh, that is a mad sheep, a mad sheep," she screamed, and she1 dashed into the house, shutting the door be hind her. Poor Polly wandered all around the house trying to make her mother understand that it was a little girl and not a lamb that was crying to be let in. But the only thing she said when she opened her mouth was "Baa, baa, baa." Presently a man came driving down the road and Mrs. Gordon saw it was the butcher. .... "Oh, Mr. Jones," she called from the window, "there is a stray lamb in the yard; you can have it for ?3. Do take it away at once." Polly heard the order and grew cold with fright. So weak was she that she meekly let him tie a rope around her neck and lead her to the wagon. When, catching her by all four legs, he gave her three swings and she fell not into the wagon, but into the cold spring. "Oh," she cried, as she jumped up and found she was still Polly. "I am so glad I am not a lamb and that it was only a dream. I guess it is better, after all, to be a little girl, even if I do have to work some. Mother has so much to do for me it is only right to help her." So Polly went home from the spring a wiser and happier girl on account of the lesson she had learned in dream land.
