I UlblOKlCAL, FAMILY IS ANNOUNCED. Society. Garden fair at the Thomas Kerr residence today (indoors) for the benefit of the Serbian re lief fund. Tea for Miss Esther Hoener by Mrs. George Rodgers, Jr. I Tea by Mrs. Hallett W. Max- J well this afternoon. TO announce the engagement of her sister. Miss Delberta Stuart, Mrs. Frank Kerr yesterday entertained with a large and elaborate tea. Miss Stuart's fiance is Charles Haddon Man ners, son of Dr. and Mrs. W. S. Man ners, around whose historic ancestors the romance of "Dorothy Manners, of Haddon Hall," was woven. Tbey are a prominent family of Montclair, X. J., and Mr. Manners has for several years been looking after his large orchards In Underwood. His bride-to-be is a charming girl, a daughter of the late Judge Dell Stuart and Mrs. Stuart, the latter of whom makes her home now in Corvallis. but came up to visit her daughters to hare in the announcement festivities. Miss Stuart is also a sister of Wayne 31. and Bruce Stuart, of Albany, and a graduate of Portland Academy. The news was told in an original and charming manner. Little Frances Kerr, daughter of the hostess, received the guests at the door, presenting each one with a tiny cat for which she lelved into a huge bag. The cat bore a card with the names of the couple, linked with the word "betrothed." The wedding will be an event of early September. Miss Stuart will leave the latter part of this month for a visit with relatives at Albany, then go to the beach for a ehort time, returning to be the guest of Miss Edith Olds. The bride-elect made her formal bow to Portland so ciety about three years ago, at a charm ing tea for which Mrs. Kerr was also hostess and she has passed practically Rll of the intervening time traveling and in the Hood River Valley. At the residence of Mrs. Thomas Kerr, a garden fair will be given this afternoon for the benefit of the Serbian relief fund. The -party was originally planned as an outdoor affair, but owing to the Inclemency of the weather, Mrs. Kerr has arranged to have it indoors and on the verandas which have been inclosed for the occasion. It will be a brilliant event and as many invita tions have been issued, it bids fair to be one of the most elaborate func tions of the early Summer season. Fresh vegetables, fruits, candies, delicious cakes, made from the choicest recipes of the hostess" friends and do nated for the occasion, as well as many other delectables also donated by sym pathizers of the Serbians, will be at tractively displayed today to tempt Portland society to help the sufferers from the devastating war. Baskets to permit of the purchasers comfortably conveying their articles home also will be on sale and a gift booth will be one of the features of the afternoon. Garden games have been planned for and numerous other amusements which can be enjoyed under protective cover ings from the damp atmosphere. Mrs. James G. Gauld and Miss Isa bella Gauld have issued cards for a reception to be given Saturday after noon, from 4 until 6 o'clock. Much entertaining will be done for the visitors who will attend the Pa' cific Coast eye, ear, nose and throat convention in this city, beginning to morrow and continuing until Saturday. A large delegation of members of the society and a number of their friends already are In the city and the women of the party will be extensively enter tained by well-known matrons of Portland. Another of the pretty teas of yes terday afternoon was the combined housewarming and reception to Mrs. George W. Boschke for which her daughter, Mrs. Guy Menefee Standifer was hostess at her new home, at Eighteenth and Thompson streets. The rooms were aglow with roses and other garden flowers, the drawing-room with its floral adornment of pink roses and ferns making an admirable foil for the pretty gowns of the throng of guests who called to greet the visitor. An especially artistic combination of flowers was used on the tea table a broad basket filled with pink peonies, tall spikes of blue delphinium, and the feathery gypsophila. Crystal bowls of yellow daisies adorned the library where the punch table was placed. Pre siding at the tea table were Mrs. James P. O'Brien, Mrs. Frederick S. Stanley, Mrs. Lee Menefee. Mrs. John ShulL They were assisted by Misses Virginia and Elizabeth Menefee, Elizabeth Boschke, Ruth Standifer. Kemna and Gretchen Klosterman, Eleu Smith, Cor- nelia Stanley V'Ona and Leila Guthrie, Kathe Brasel, Mrs. George D. hchalk, Mrs. Coe A. McKenna, Mrs. "Walter Yearian, Mrs. Mrs. John Twohy, Mrs. James Ambrose, Mrs. Horace Luckett and Mrs. Oscar R. Menefee were sta ttoned at the punch bowl. About 100 matrons, many of whom were old friends of the honor guest, and many of the young girls called during -the aft ernoon. A number of affairs will mark Mrs. Boschke's visit here, among those be ing planned for her being the tea for which Mrs. Andrew Porter will be hostess, Thursday, and the luncheon to be presided over by Mrs. John Shull next week. Mrs. Boschke plans to' re main with her daughter for two or three weeks longer. Mrs. Charles J. Schnabel was hostess for a delightful tea yesterday afternoon honoring Miss Sara Harker, of Palo Alto, who is visiting in Portland for a few weeks. About 50 matrons and maids called at the tea, and the hostess was assisted by her daughter. Miss Katharine Schnabel, who recently was graduated from Harker's School. Mrs. Elliott Habersham and Mrs. Allen Ells worth presided at the tea table and were assisted by Misses Helen Jones and Dorothy Kerns.

Then she remembered, that she had also heard that elves were very spiteful when annoyed. If she got some of the water she might be badly hurt by the tiny folk. I will try. anyway, she said, brave ly, as she scrambled around the rock and held the jar under the stream. In an instant a crowd of fighting, biting elves were attacking her. but she held onto the jar and, placing it on the ground, kept it steady while she fought with her crutch. Suddenly a. cock crowed and in an instant every elf had vanished. It was with a light heart but weary feet that crippled Helen knocked at dawn at the palace gate. In & few mo ments she stood by the bedside of the ill Princess. "Drink this. It is the magic water from the spring of the Elf King and will cure you," said she as she placed the Jar in the sick girl's hands. The Princess took a deep draught. In a second she was entirely well and arose from the bed laughing In delight. "But why did you not drink it your self?" asked the Princess, as her eyes fell upon the child's crutch. "You could have cured your lameness." "That is so," answered Helen, blush ing. "But I was so anxious to . bring the water to you." "There is at least half of It left In the jar." returned the Princess. "Drink it. for none deserve it as much as your self." Helen poured the remainder of the water down her throat. In another moment she dropped her crutch and stood lirmly upon both feet. Her eyes were shining with happiness, for her lameness was gone she was no longer a cripple. "You have made me well." continued the happy Princess, as she placed a big bag of gold In Helen's hands. "Here Is your reward. And that you may never need. I wish you to come to court and live with me." So unselfish Helen not only was en tirely cured, but she and her mother came to stay with the Princess in the palace, where they lived happily for many years.

" In the Spring, when he planted his hotbeds, he would set out ten times as many plants of different kinds as he needed himself, and when remon strated with by members of the family would say, "Oh, well, the neighbors will want some." The neighbors came to depend upon him for all the early plants they desired. He signed promissory notes for any one who asked him. He stabled friends horses in the Winter and pastured their dry cows in the Summer. To the out ward eye he was the quintessence of kindness and generosity. But what Is the result of all this? Today, his widow, a semi-invalid, is left in want. The large estate with which he started life is entirely squandered. The only support this widow has is the slender earnings of the aforesaid daughter-in-law, whose tone was so non-committal in saying, "Yes, he was generous." Is is not possible to be over-generous, to be too kind? Can there not be excess or intemperance in these quali ties quite as much as in those that are on the other side of the slate? Be cause they are looked upon as virtues, as good traits, one is not apt to think he is doing wrong in indulging them. But is not over-indulgence in them as far from the right path as over-indulg- nce in some supposedly far more sin ful thing? The generous person is not very apt to scan his acts critically. He believes that, by and large, he Is acting on the side of good. Everywhere one is enjoined to give, to be generous, to help the less fortunate, to he neigh borly and so on. And so with a fine glow at his heart, the generously In clined pours out his treasures lavishly. But would it not be more true to what s just to use moderation in this mat ter as well as in other things? One is not using one's best judgment to give as this man gave. He had a wrong idea, did he not, of true generosity? He had been blinded or mesmerized by a false idea of it; or else, he bad never given much real thought to it, but recklessly obeyed his own gener ous impulses or the -general idea about giving without getting down to the real principle of it There are many like him In the world big-hearted, generous people who impoverish themselves and those depending upon them, because it is their natural instinct' to give liberally. Any one in want is never turned away. There is a saying that has become com mon about such people, "He would give his shirt off his back," and it is said admiringly, as if this action was greatly to be commended. Ana tne spirit, within Its right bounds. Is. Generosity certainly Is to be approved. Stinginess to be condemned. But it should be the generosity that is Just, not intemperate. BARBARA BUYD.

Yes, he was generous," admitted the daughter-in-law, and said no more. But there was that in her tone that implied much more could be said. And these are some of the things that could be said, not unkindly or in criticism, but simply as facts that have a truth in them to be pondered. He was a farmer and he .loaned his farming implements 'right and left among his neighbors. This one had his - harrow, that one his mowing ma chine, another his rake. When h wanted them for his own use he never had them. "I have actually known him to fix up some sort of contraption to serve as a. harrow, said an acquaint ance. "when two harrows which he TheSmdiwiStoryJ By .Mes F.AWxlkeu. Tne Elf King's Ball. mHE Princess is very ill. said the L old mother to her lame daughter as they sat at supper one night. "And the King oilers a great reward for her cure. Helen, the crippled girl, listened with Interest. She knew what It was to be sick, and as her widowed mother was so poor, she had always worried great ly over the hard work to be done work in which she could not share. After supper Helen went out Into the forest for a walk. Tiring, she sat down at the side of a rock and fell asleep. When she awoke the moon was shining down through the leaves and she could hear a queer sound as if of singing, just behind her. Peeping out, she saw an odd sight. There on the moss was a crowd ot tiny elves, all dancing to the music of a little gnome seated on a swaying branch above. Everyone was gowned in a different color and they looked like a flock of butterflies as they flitted to and fro to the dainty music. Pres ently they stopped and the tallest of the group, who seemed to be the King, went up to the rock and struck it three times with the scepter: Rock, o old and tray. Open now, I pray. lt healing- -waters flow So that health may glow Shining on each face By thy klndy grace. This Is the song that the Elf King sang as he gave the rock the blows. And as he did so there gushed out of the stone a sudden stream of water that sparkled like drops of molten sil ver. Every one of the little elves ran and filled to the brim a tiny jar they held in their hands. "That Is the magic water I have heard grandma tell about." whispered Helen to herself. "If I can only get some for the Princess she can be cured.' She did not think at all about herself in her kindness of heart. Now it hap pened that at her belt she always car- ried a small jar in which she gathered Mrs. Etnelyn Uedgeberrr Founder of the Box Shop. OHE old theory that one cannot Judge the worth of a gift by the look of a box that contains it is obsolete, ac cording to Mrs. Ethelyn Hedgeberry. of New York, who has devised a means of making the container quite as beau tiful as the gift. Mrs. Hedgeberry makes artistically beautiful and useful things of the piles of ugly boxes that are daily thrown away in the average household. She has discovered a close relationship be tween the great demand for pretty boxes and the uninteresting ones that are constantly disposed of. She has. therefore, overcome the economic waste by bringing these two conditions into working range of one another, and is not only satisfying her thrifty and economic instincts but is making a substantial living out of it. The Box Shop is one of the tiny establishments on the side streets Just oft of Fifth avenue that give portions of New York City a quaint Old World appearance. A dainty case of artisti cally covered boxes marks the entry way. Nothing is . sold in the little shop but gift boxes. There are no prosaic humdrum containers among them, although they are all useful and practical. The old Idea of service In stead of appearance has been entirely done away with, and boxes that are uninteresting If not actually ugly have no place there. Mrs. Hedgeberry got her working cue from the revolution which she dis covered taking place in common, every- aay Doxes. tailors boxes were chang ing from ugly stiff white pasteboard to softly toned grays and browns. Florists were beginning to pack flow ers not only In boxes which would preserve them, but in artistic recep tacles which suggested the gift within. The uninteresting hat bag, too, was being supplanted and milliners were putting their creations into boxes which rival the old-time bandbox. Mrs. Hedgeberry was aware that this change would not have come about but that.a demand bad preceded It, and she concluded that if the demand in cluded boxes for flowers, hats and suits of clothing. It would include other gifts as well. She rented the most in expensive room which could be secured within easy reach of Filth-avenue shop pers and went about in search of empty boxes. She picked up scores of pasteboard boxes of all sizes from the big coat containers to tiny hairpin and Perfume bottle boxes. She procured fancy paper, silks, cretonnes and sten cils and began her work of transfor matlon. Her friends, learning of her venture, supplied her with their empty boxes until the demand for her merchandise became so great that they could no longer he provided in this way. She then allowed a liberal discount on fin ished boxes to those who supplied her with raw materials. The little shop has entirely done away with the old, tiresome search for something that would be Just the right size for a gift and pretty to look upon. for it Is an exchange of all sorts of boxes, large and small. Those who have boxes but none that are Just right in size may bring their offerings and turn them In on other finished boxes shown in the shop. . Mrs. Hedgeberry Is constantly on the alert for new ideas which will make her handicraft more beautiful. Water- color and oil stencils and gold and sll ver are used in the transformation of the most commonplace little box into an elaborate receptacle worthy of con taining the most beautiful thing. The call for the beautiful box is growing greater every day, and while Mrs. Hedgeberry anticipates the passing of the fad for fancy boxes, she has launched upon her venture while the demand is at high tide, and will have accumulated a convenient little sum before the demand has been met.
