POPULAR GIRL WHO BECAME BRIDE OF PROMINENT MAN
YESTERDAY AT UNITARIAN CHURCH.
(Style, Tips
"VT7AS the crinoline girl with her
YV riot of ruffles and stacks of
petticoats really more fascinating or
sensible looking than the trimly f rocked
young women of today?" was asked of a
number of shop people yesterday. "I
don't think she was," said one. "She
w.-vsn't half as useful. Her clothes
hampered her. She couldn't get about
os easily, for her garments were too
tight in some places and too volumi
nous in other places. We are adding
the beauty of the old fashions to the
sensible modern ideals this Spring."
- 'No," said a man who is a women's
flo'thes expert- "They were not half
io .fascinating. Think of the fact that
in tpite of their many gowns they were
after all practically of the same pat
tern, and compare them with the ward
lobe of the modern girl with a costume
for every occasion.
"The crinoline girl had no tennis or
golf suit, he didn't take an interest
in outdoor sports. Half of the society
tomances of today, it seems, are begun
On the golf links, at the country clubs,
on the tennis court, or some place
where there is an exhibition of good
fellowship and sportsmanly conduct"
: Another man suggested that the
modern girl had lost much of the
femininity of the old-fashioned young
woman and that it would make her
mori interesting and subtle this year
wince fashion permits her to be more
old-fashioned. The young woman will
tio well to copy the crinoline girl,
wherever it is practical, and thus give
to her wardrobe the charming attributes
of . bygone modes, he said
. There are several new garments that

suggest Victorian periods, and the
gowns of Louis XV. One Is a grey
crepe de chine so sheer that it may
almost be called chiffon. It buttons
down the back and the plain waist top
looks like the yoke of a child's "Mother
Hubbard." This yoke reaches to the
high straight girdle, which is toned
with points of silver lace. Funny
sleeves with puffs above the deep cuffs
are touched with silver lace. The skirt
is a double affair, wide, with both
pleats and gathers.
Another old-fashioned frock in an up-to-date
cast is a rose with a cape
that flies back recklessly, and a yoke
that is ever so modest and comes just
to the base, of the throat. The skirt,
tucked and gathered, has three three
inch tucks at wide intervals, so that
It looks like a ruffled skirt.

The Smoke Tree Fairy.
" NCE upon a time there lived in a
Vy beautiful garden a young fairy,
who was Just starting in life. She had
selected this garden as the prettiest
to be found. In the center was a tiny
lake on which floated gentle swans.
The little fairy was charmed. It
was the first time she has ever set up
housekeeping alone, and though she
did not have gas, a porcelaian bath and
a phone, she found it simply delightful
In her new abode. So she looked about
to select a tree which should be her
future house.
High above her head swung a rose
bush at least what we now call a
rose bush. But in, those days of awful
long ago it was in reality a tree. This
rose grew tall and stately. Its limbs
reached out for yards on all sides and
it was covered with great crimson
roses. They hung in clusters that
looked like bunches of living flame.
By its side was a tiny, stunted
brownish bush. Its leaves were eaten
by worms, its little trunk twisted, and
its whole appearance was of a neg
lected, pitiful thing. The little bush
saw the fairy gazing at the handsome
rose tree, and knew that she would
naturally make her home in a beautiful
place like that. It felt it would love
to have the fairy live with it, but hung
its head in shame when it looked at
the dirty appearance of the withering
leaves and the dull bark.
But the fairy was not one to judge
by appearances alone. "I will put the
plants to test," she said to herself as
she noticed the ugly bush and kindly
plucked a dead leaf from a branch.
"Fine feathers and fine colors do not
make a good bird or a good plant."
So she chatted with the rose tree
and said kindly words to the poor bush.
"I am going away for a trip of a
few hours," she said, "but I will be
back by sunset." And away she glided
over the garden wall till she vanished
like, a silver mist melting into the gar
den glow of the sunlight.
Early in the afternoon there came
an old man hobbling down the gar
den path. His head was white, his
clothing shabby, and he leaned wear
ily on a cane. With a sigh he sank
on the ground beneath the rose tree.
When rested, he filled his big pipe with
tobacco and began to smoke. Up among
the roses and shining leaves the
wreaths of smoke curled.
"I wish you'd get out from under
my branches," said the rose tree, shak
ing off a petal from her head ir dis
gust. "I hate the smell of smoke. I
don't want tramps about my roots or
beggars camping on my grass."
The old man rose to his tottering
feet sadly and began to walk away.
The ugly little bush, whose heart was
kind, called him back.
"I have not much to offer," it said
humbly, "but you are welcome to rest
on the old sod here."
When the man sat down the little
bush did Its best to keep off the sun
from his white head and fanned his
face with its withered leaves. The old
fellow smoked till a gray cloud rose
above the bush. Then the smoke
turned to green, which vanished into a
pink glow that shone over the whole
garden. In the midst of it was seen
the little fairy.
"I have made my test," she said,
"and I have found out your true na
tures. I was that old man. I saw the
vain, proud heart of the rose and the
kindness of this little bush. I will
make my home here. But it will be an
ugly bush no longer. It shall be big
and handsome and its flower will be
called 'smoke,' and this gray mist will
make it one of the handsomest trees
in the garden.
"But for you, vain rose, I will clip
your pride. No longer will you tower
in grandeur above all other plants
you shall retain your beauty, but in
size will be only a bush."

WIFE OF W. L. HARKLEROAD IS AR-
V
RESTED FOR OWN SAFETY.
Fuss Baffles Patrolman, but Woman
Say It'a All Over Husband Who
Pretended to Take Own Life.
Another squall in the stormy, but
brief matrimonial voyage -of Mr. and
Mrs. W. L. Harkleroad broke yesterday
afternoon when Harkleroad was ar
rested on a charge of disorderly con
duct. Mrs. Harkleroad was taken to
the Women's Protective Bureau in the
fear that she might attempt suicide.
The DOlice received a call to Fourth
and Hoyt streets yesterday and when
Patrolman Vessey arrived he found the
two surrounded by a ring or spectators.
Mrs. Harkleroad was crying in an hys
terical manner. It was evident to the
patrolman that there had been trouble,
but what the nature of it was, neither
would divulge.
At the police station, Mrs. Harkle
road broke into weeping afresh when
questioned by Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin
about the affair, because, as she said,
her husband had been arrested.
Harkleroad was formerly a member
of the Portland Fire Department and
has recently been employed by the
park department. Mrs. Harkleroad is
said to have been employed at the
Meier & Frank tearoom.
They broke into the limelight some
time ago when Harkleroad called, his
wife up on the telephone and, after an
nouncing to her in a dramatic manner
that he was going to commit suicide,
discharged a revolver. He was arrested
on a charge of discharging firearms
in the city limits, but was released by
Judge Stevenson after a lecture.
