T DON'T like goin' to meetin' a
JL sight, but I do love to be saw
there," cooed a village gossip In a
long-forgotten novel. "There's a double
satisfaction in seein' what other folks
has on and in havin' them stare at your
best bib and tucker." True, they were
the -sentiments of an old country gos
sip, but, after allx women are much
alike the world over. And why
shouldn't milady prefer being admired
to being merely looked at? The truth
of the matter is, the wind of an occa
sion to appear stunning must have got
abroad, for Portland's shops are a-flutter
with pretty girls and their mothers,
and they've been ooking at opera
cloaks, evening gowns and the like.
They've momentarily forgotten the
joys of "sneakers" and walking togs, and
are dreaming of limousines and fine
feathers, while father has forgotten-the
bills and- is giving the "once over" to
the small-waisted dress suits and the
best angle to wear the "stove-pipe."
-one of the shoppers efforts have
been scorned by the shops. As soon
as they scented the desire for a lovely
opera cloak or a silver' evening gown
they brought to light the most noble
efforts of the couturiere and modiste.
There is an "envy-stirring cloak of sil
ver panne velvet, edged with white
mirabou. There is an indescribable
elegance about this smart garment, a
softness to white fluffy edge, a glim
mer and sheen to velvet; and modest
indeed is the damsel who would not love
to flaunt the rich brocade lining. The
wrap is knee length, has great mira
bou edged cuffs and a collar to match.
The sleeves are raglan end gathered
hips give the desired flare to the coat.
Still another wrap that will not fall
to attract admiration is of rose velvet,
high and plain about neck, yet girlish.
The top part and the wire panel back
and front are all a yoke of freakish
cut. High under the araos the sides are
gathered and allowed to ripple and
flare to the knees.
To see is to desire the apple green
taffeta and white chiffon evening gown.
The whole back is of the sheer, crisp
and almost transparent green taffeta;
so is the high crushed girdle. A short
apron effect Is obtained by an exten
sion of the back of the skirt, gathered
in front and allowed to hang in two
points at the hips. A lace skirt, though
really sufficient in itself, is evidently
not sufficient unto the day. for the
artistic designer has gathered -over It
a layer of combined net and chiffon
and maline, which finds echo in the
scant v-aist. Except for the. half hid
den underwalst of Spanish lace, the
low-necked sleeveless waist is unorna
mented. A gown of dead white crepe chiffon
is enlivened with black stripes and
British pink squares. "The skirt is dou
ble and finished with a ribbon of crepe
chiffon that has a border of three rows
of black and a middle of white flecked
with inch-square pink dice. The rib
bon is also used as a tiny vest in
front, where the filmy waist fails to
meet. The underdress is of white taf
feta and the sleeves of chiffon. British
pink buttons complete the gown.

Seeing Spring:.
THE marvel of Spring Is beginning
to unroll before our eyes. I won
der just how each of us will see Spring.
An essay I came across set me think
ing about this. I pass a bit of it on
to you. .
"Many of the people who believe
themselves to have an appreciation of
naturaL scenery cannot appreciate it
except on a sensational scale. They
can derive a certain pleasure from wide
prospects of startling beauty, rugged
mountains, steep gorges, great falls of
water all-the things that are sup
posed to be picturesque. But though
this is all very well so far as it goes,
it is a very elementary kind of thing.
The perception of which I speak is a
perception which can be fed in the
most familiar scene, in the shortest
stroll, even In a momentary glance from
a window. The things to look out for
are little accidents of light and color,
little effects of chance grouping, the
transfiguration of some well-known
and even commonplace object, such as
is produced by the sudden burst Into
greenness- of the trees that peep over
some neighboring garden wall, or by
the sunlight falling, by a happy fortune,
on pool or flower."
So with the rifiht vision we can really
see the beauty of Spring, no matter
where we are. A single slender vine
clinging to a wall can have as much
beauty of grace and delicate greenness
as a tangle of vines. In fact, there
may be graces of line and nuances of
color that we would not get in a riotous
wealth of creepers.
If we are where there is no hint of
green in our surroundings, the very air
can bring us soft touches of Spring as
it caresses our cheek, faint perfumes
full of memories, whispers that have
messages and music for us.
The Spring sky is different from
other skies. The blue seems fresher,
tne clouds scurry more joyously.
This ability to see beauty in little
things, in a light or a shade, in a voice
or a breeze, is beautjfully expressed by
.aiaseiieia in tne lines:
By many waters and on manr ways
I have known golden instants and bright
aays;
The day on which beneath an arching sail,
I law the Cordilleras and gave hail;
The Summer day on which in heart's delight
I saw the Swansea Mumbles bursting white:
The glitterln- day when all the waves wore
flags;
And the ship Wanderer cama with sails in
rags:
When the rent chapel on the brae -at Slain
snone with. a doorway opening bevond;
The dawn when witn a brace-block's creak
ing cry
Out of tne mist, a little barque slipped by.
Spilling the mist with changing gleams of
red.
Then gone with one raised hand and one
turned head ;
The night alone near water when I heard
All the sea's spirit broken by a bird.
Wherever we are, let's see Spring
wicn new eyes an the exquisite little
tnings or bpring as well as -the won
derful pageant of an earth robed anew
in green and bloom.
GEORGE W. HAZEN IS WELL
Portland Attorney Recovers From
Xervous Breakdown.
Looking so well that the friends who
had seen him as late as six weeks ago
hardly recognized him as the same man,
George W. Hazen, well-known Portland
lawyer, returned home yesterday from
a month's stay at Shipherd's Springs,
wiere he went to recuperate from a
nervous breakdown resulting from a
fall last July.
Mr. Hazen fell down the cellar stair
way at his home in Irvington July 1,
1915, and struck on his head. He was
unconscious for several days and was
confined to bed for nearly six months.
He fell off in weight from 165 to 90
pounds."
"But I feel like a new man now,"
said Mr. Hazen. "I have gained 11
pounds in the last month alone, and am
now back to 150 pounds. Indeed, I am
feeling- so chipper that I am back at
my office to work for the first time
since last June."

J The Steinway is the Piano used by nearly all of
the world's great pianists, vocalists and instruxnen--talists.

J The Steinway is the Piano found in the homes of
nearly all lovers of music, of people of discriminating
tastes, and those who purchase only the BEST.
I There must be a reason why the Steinway is so
pre-eminent. Indeed, there are scores of reasons why
mere words here cannot adequately express them
but if you will accord us the opportunity we will
gladly show you why the Steinway is pre-eminent
among Pianos.
J The Steinway is universally acknowledged the

THE PNEUMONIA SEASON-
MARCH THE MOST DANGEROUS MONTH
As a General Rule There is More Pneumonia in March Than
at Any Other Season of the Year.
The cold, damp weather of March
seems to be the most favorable for the
pneumonia germ. Now Is the time to be
careful. Pneumonia often results from
a cold. The quicker a cold Is gotten rid
of the less the danger. As soon as the
first Indication of a cold appears take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. As to
the value of this preparation, ask any
one who has used it. Obtainable every
where. "In the course of a conversation to
day with Chamberlain Medicine Co.'s
representative, we had occasion to dis
cuss in a general way the merits of
their different preparations. At his sug
gestion I take pleasure in expressing
my estimation of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. I have a family of six chil
dren and have used this remedy in my
home for years. I consider it the only
cough remedy on the market, as I have
tried nearly all kinds." Earl C. Ross,
Publisher Hamilton County Re'publican
News, Syracuse, Kan.
"Ever since Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was first used by my little girl
seven years old and proved to be a
quick relief for coughs and colds, I
have kept it in the house, and it has
been used a number of ti es by the
children and other members of the
family with the best results," writes
Mrs. A. M. White, Brockport, N. T.
"About two years ago I used Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy when I had a
severe cold and was threatened with
pneumonia. This medicine broke up the
attack quickly. I have the utmost faith
In the curative qualities of this prepa
ration." writes Mrs. J. D. Parker. Elba.
N. Y.
"Last Winter my little boy, five year
old, was sick -with a cold for two or
three weeks. I doctored him and used
various cough medicines, but nothing
did him much good until I began giv
ing him Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
He then improved rapidly and in a few
days' time was over his cold." writes

Women who desire a complexion that will be admired
and not questioned cannot be too careful of the powder they
use. Ordinary face powders (no matter how fine they may
seem in the box or between the fingers) are disappointing under tha
real test on the face.
Such powders deaden the skin with a lifeless hue. Or
they do worse bespeak "'make-up." To U3e them is to be
haunted by the fear that they will fail you any minute in the wind,
in the glaring light or in the heat of the dance. There is on com
