created trlth applause. Fantino the
French maid showed In all character
istic lightness and coquetry a maid of
that nation. The Hardscratch twins
showed an ununually Interesting com
bination of outward submlsBiveneaa
and an amazing capacity for mischief.
The four Summer boarders were all
natural and "breezy." Miss Hazel Robb.
without losing any of her sweetness
and naturalness, showed the dignity
and responsibility of her position as
an heiress. . MIsa Hazel Tiehnor was
excellent as Laura Leigh. Miss Polly
Hewett supplied enthusiaam and high
spirits, and made an excellent foil to
the rather lovelorn part taken by Miss
Helen Doble. Miss Hazel Ferris played
the decidedly difficult role of the
adopted niece of Aunt Deby with con
siderable appreciation and skill, while
Aunt Deby herself was always dignified
and stately as the mistress of "Breezy
Point." IHst but not least, all credit
Is due to Miss Carter, the instructor In
elocution, who in this case was the
power behind the throne.
Mrs. Gcorse Stovall entertained the
Oregon Chapter, U. D. C. at their last
regular meeting at her home at 1007 East
Sixteenth street, on Friday afternoon, No
vember 23. The house was beautifully
decorated for the occasion, with quantities
of the late Autumn roses, chrysanthe
mums and Oregon grape and bore every
evidence of the holiday season, as well
as suggesting the far-famed Southern
hospitality. An interesting business ses
sion of the chapter preceded the pro
gramme. Those furnishing the afternoon's
entertainment were Miss Meacham, a
young Southern girl whose finished violin
numbers were much appreciated. Miss
Meacham was accompanied by her sister-in-law,
Mrs. M. B. Meacham, a bride of
a few months; Mrs. Taylor, who gave an
Mcellent historical paper: Mrs. Mamie
Duff Silva. who gave a charming vocal
number; Miss Mlnnizeil George, who
read a selection-,, from Paul Lawrence
Dunbar, and Mrs. Thornhill, whose dram
atic readings are of a high order. At the
close of the programme delicious refresh
ments were served. The afternoon was
a perfect one, and about 45 representative
women were present to enjoy the hospital
ities of the occasion. Mrs. Stovall was as
sisted in receiving and caring for her
guests by Mesdames Silva and Thornhill,
Mrs. Sylvia McGuire will entertain the
chapter at Its next meeting at 2:30 o'clock
on Friday afternoon, the 14th, at her
home, 795 Clackamas street.
The parents' meeting held under the
auspices of the Home Training Asso
ciation was well attended and much
Interest was shown in the open dis
cussion of the question, "Resolved,
That punishment Is not necessary in
the proper development of children."
Mrs. W. J. Hawkins, leader or the af
firmative, gave a spirited talk on the
symmetrical development under the
Froebcl methods, which she had used
In her wide experiences with gratify
ing results. She dealt with the ten
der age of infancy and spoke with the
assurance of experience crowned by
success. Her plea for patience rather
than punishment was eloquent. Rev.
George B. Van Waters, leader of the
negative, dealt ably with youth when
it had reai-hcd the age of self-assertion,
that trying age when activity far
exceeds the judgment, lie claimed
that the latter must be supplied by
parent or guardian in the shape of
discipline and enforced obedience. His
talk was practical and pertinent and
his points were well sustained. So
great was the Interest shown in the
discussion that followed that it was
decided to continue it at the next meet
ing, which will be held on Tuesday
evening, January 29, in the same place.
"Breezy Point," a comedy In three
acts, was presented at St. Helen's Hall
by the members of the senior class on
Tuesday evening, under tbo direction
of Miss Ruth Carter, the elocution
teacher of that institution. Acts I and
II took place in the cosy sitting-room
at "Breezy Point." The background
for act II was a camp in the woods
nearby. In both cases the stage set
ting represented a triumph over diffi

was not built with a view to theat
ricals. The cast was as follows:
