Yesterday Miss Susan Chenery j entertained with a pretty tea in her honor and about 35 of the younger contingent participated in the affair. Qarden flowers in a riotous display combined with vivid-toned Autumnal fjliage adorned the rooms. Mrs. Alan Green and Miss Katharine Graham pre sided at the tea table and a few of the girls assisted in serving. Today Misses Katharine and Charlotte Laidlaw will be hostesses for a tea complimentary to the popular bride-elect. ! One of the most important events on the social calendar of today is the re ception marking the formal opening of the new quarters of the Portland Wom an's Union, "the Martha "Washington Motel." A large tea has been arranged for the event, and prominent matrons and maids will be on hand to receive the guests and show them over the beautiful building. The furnishings, which are most attractive and dainty, have been purchased from the series of round-robin parties that were given during the past few months. Mrs. J. B. Comstock, president of the union, with a number of former presi dents, will receive the guests and the hostesses of the day will be Mrs. TV. A.

Society attended the performance, many handsome and wonderful wraps and gowns being ad mired on prominent women, some of whom were hostesses for line parties, ranging all the way from six to ten. Numerous little groups later attended the supper-dance at the Multnomah Hotel. ; Another affair of today that is re ceiving considerable attention from so ciety is the performance of "Jack and the Beanstalk," which will be shown all day at the Majestic Theater. This morning there will be a special mat inee for the poor children of the city, all the heads of the various institu tions having been requested to send the children as guests of the management.

She also spent sev eral months visiting relatives and friends in the Middle West, returning home by way of California. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. lsakson, who reside at 21 0 North Twenty-second street, this city.

Only members of the club, the officers and their wives were invited. Tonight the young people in their teens will be the guests of the club at a dance from 8 until 11:30 o'clock. The committee is: Mrs. James B. Kerr, M rs. John A. Keating, Miss Louise Boyd, Miss Gladys Ross and Mrs. A. P. Matthews. Conservation Talks. By Teachers. C-irlft Polytechnic School. WHEN we realize that nearly three-fourths of the food heat units furnished by the cereals come from wheat alone we see the need for conservation of the wheat supply. This conservation Is to be ac complished, not through reduction In the use of bread, but by reduction in the amount of wheat used in the bread. In this the South sets the rest of the country an example for there other grains than wheat are used liberally for breadstuffs. One of the tested recipes used in our domestic science department is for bread made of both cornmeal and wheat flour. In quantity for four loaves it is follows: Two and one -quarter pounds, or 2 i scant quarts sifted bread flour, -pound, or 2 2-3 cupfuls cornmeal, two cakes compressed yeast, 3 level table epoonfuls of sugar, 1 V3 level table tpoonfuls salt, about one quart liquid (water, milk, or equal parts of milk and water), 3 level tablespoonf uls of shortening, if desired. If milk Is used it should be scalded and then cooled until lukewarm. Less yeast may be used, but more time for rising will be required. Make spon ge with two pounds of white flour, the yeast, salt, snerar and liquid. Cover and MOTHER'S FR1EHD FOR .Expectant Mothers MAKES THE CRISIS EASIER Medicines That Aid Nature Most Effectual.

Cover and set back to rise aain until double In volume, which will require from one to two hours. Knead lightly, mold into loaves and place in slightly warmed and greased pans. Let rise until it has doubled in volume, then place in the oven, which should be at a good, 6teady heat (400 to 425 degrees Fahrenheit), and bake 45 to 50 minutes. HE Grange Woman's Club met in room A, Central Library, yester day at 2 o'clock. Extensive plans for the year's work were outlined.

TrainincThe ' CHILD BY" WILLIAM BYRON FORBUSH.PHJ3. N1 EARLY every girl is governed by code that, like the laws of the Medes and Persians, cannot be broken. It is definite, implacable, unreasoning. It fits like the stralghtjacket, and it regulates every motion. We say this more confidently of boys than we do of girls, because we recog- , ni2e that girls are truer formalists. They are conservators. Codes were j given them, and they hand them down. Convince a girl that a proposed ac- ! tion is "unladylike," "not nice" or "our set does not .do it," and she asks no further logic. You may cease to try to persuade her. Social customs, dress, even modesty. are thus regulated. In some ways this is good. It sim plifies things. You know what to ex pect. You have here a well-nigh om nipotent control. In a given circle you standardize conduct. Every girl in a boarding school, for instance, will act about alike. Where do these codes come from? From mother and chaperones; from novels and movies; from the mottoes on postcards; from a girl's heroines. Not so much as formerly, I think, from the Bible, from the home, from acknowledged authority. Evil or Codes Told. Here Is the peril. A bad code is just as binding as a good one. It is just as unreasonably accepted. The girl who gave her hundred kisses to the swine herd, in the fairy story, instead of to the nightingale and the rose, followed some foolish code to her ruin. The trouble with the best code is that it cannot possibly cover all emergen cies. There is sure to be something un foreseen by mother or nunnery. The convent of St. Agnes cannot write out enough golden texts to fit out a later society life that is dedicated to St. Vitus. It enn hardly nuzeest every Under modern sanitary con ditions.

Sooner or later every girl has to chaperone herself. Some time she will have to decide a course of conduct con cerning which she cannot possibly im agine how anyone in her "set" would act. It may be that she cherishes no heroine, not even her mother. Or per haps she cannot visualize her heroine in her own circumstances. And usually the matter demands, or she thinks it demands, instant action. For armor of life we say to an ag gressive boy: "Do what is right," To a girl, docile, innocent, ignorant, we only say: "Do what Is correct." And then she meets a situation where "cor rectness" blows out its lantern. Instead of codes, substitute princi ples. Principles based on knowledge. Before Christian fought Apollyon in "Pilgrim's Progress," the angels gave him three preparations for danger. These three every girl should have for her life's equipment. They are: a sword, a chart of the road, and another weapon, called All Prayer."

He may have adenoids. His lack of vitality may be due to his low breath ing capacity. You should attend to this at once. He may have what is known as "slow reaction time." That is, he may be one of those whom it takes longer for a stimulus from the outside world to work through his nervous system than others. If this is the difficulty, It cannot be overcome. He will always be deliberate, but he may prove to be accurate and thorough. Or he may be what is called "the subjective type" of mind. I quote from Professor M. V. O Shea: Psychologists classify people ac cording as they are objective or sub jective in their mental attitude and activities. One type is outward-look ing, as it were. He is alert to every thing that is going on about him, con stantly responding to all that happens. If there is nothing doing around him he falls asleep, for what goes on within will not be active enough to keep him awake. Another type of individual. though, is inward-looking. His eyes and ears are turned inward rather than outward. He gives attention to the objects of his fancy more than he does to the objects of the real world.
