ISS ISABELLA MA CLE AT Is be-
ins delightfully entertained with
informal pre-nuptial functions, i
which really furnish all the festivities j
that the younger girls indulge in after- j
noons. 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. MacRae, Mrs. Max Hirsch, Mrs.
Willis Duniway, Miss Elsa Grelle. Mrs.
K. Steinhart, Mrs. Albert Smith, Mrs. J.
"W. Cook, Mrs. M. A. M. Ashley, Mrs. H. H.
Northup, Mrs. Henry Ladd Corbett, Mrs.
Charles Rumelin, Mrs. L, A. Frank, Mrs.
Robert Wilson, Mrs. A. C. Holmes and
Mrs. Alice Benson Beach.
Everyone interested in the work of
the Portland Woman's Union and all
friends of the past officers, as well as
the former, are invited to attend the tea
today from 2 to 5 o'clock and again
tomorrow, to permit the men to at
tend, from 4 to 8 o'clock.
, Last night was a gala night at the
A uditorium, when the popular opera,
"La Boheme." was sung by the La
Scala Opera Company. 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.
There will be provision made for con
veying the boys and girls to and from
their homes.
Mrs. Stanley Scott, wife of Captain
Scott, of the United States Engineering
Corps, stationed at Vancouver Bar
racks, will share honors in the infor
mal tea to be given this afternoon by
the Misses Charlotte and Katharine
Laidlaw with Miss Macleay. Mrs. Scott
is a recent bride and a charming young
woman.
Selmar J. Monro, of the United States
Ambulance Corps, who came from Camp
Lewis for a visit, was guest at Hill
Military Academy Friday and addressed
the cadets on "The Advantages of Mili
tary Training." Mr. Monro is a gradu
ate of the academy.

their hall in the East Side Business
Men's Club, corner Grand avenue and

October 29.
Miss Hazel lsakson has returned to
Portland after being absent for more
than U year. Immediately after grad

pital in 1916 Miss lsakson left for the
East, completing a post-graduate
course in Chicago. 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.
One of the gayest events In the Port
land Heights Club this season was the
military dance given last night by
the club members in honor of Colonel
Jones and the officers of the Army
Post at Vancouver. 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

As a general rule the medicines that

Nature in restoring the system to a

of such a medicine give it a trial. You

softened shortening, if this is to be
used, and gradually work in the re

been sifted with the cornmeal.
Knead the mixture until a smooth and
elastic dough has been formed which is
fairly soft, add a little more water or
flour as required, kneading well after
each addition. Cover and set back to

which will require from one to two

and bake 45 to 50 minutes.

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

thing needed when the girl has the
first one of her "crushes."
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."

Or he may be what is called "the

Psychologists classify people ac
