HAIL Spring! The pussy-willow cat
klaa may bo a little tardy about of
ficially bursting into bud, and the
daffodils and buttercups a trifle late about
arriving, but the dressmaker and the
milliner have delivered the goods.
So far as feminine Portland is con
cerned. Spring has officially arrived. With
the first peep of the sun over the snowy
shoulder of Mount Hood this morning.
Dame Fashion shed her furs, felts and
Wintry broadcloths, and henceforth all
will be fluff, frills and airy furbelows.
Wide variety and lavish liberality in
the matter pf combination in both colors
and materials are features, noticeable in
the new Spring styles, and the . Easter

Portland's fair sex today, show a pleas-"
PUIS MANY PARTS
Uttle Eva Is Often Divorced in
Real Life.
ANGEL FACE WASHES OFF
Much Discord and Little Heaven in
Life Behind Scenes of Woman
Who Dies and Goes Heaven
ward on the Stage.
SPRINGFIEU5. Ohio. March -(Special.)
Little Eva has been granted her
fourth divorce Uyle Eva of the tear
stained voice who dies In the white
nightie at 10:90 P. M. daily and floats
ofT through the scenery to Join the angel
band, giving the bye-bye sign to poor
Vncle Tom; Little Eva, who climbs down
a hidden ladder with dust on mamma's
Bible and "shoos" the bloodhounds sauci
ly out of her way; Little Eva, who has
come to think the world Is long on Simon
Legrees and short of the stuff out of
which real angels are made.
Little Eva, who happens In- this case
to be Mrs. Carra Horsnyder and whose
life path is strewn with matrimonial dis
cords, has been shunted back and forth
like a shuttlecock twlxt heaven and earth
for nobody knows how long. She won't
stay dead, married or divorced, always
getting a round-trip ticket and "refusing
to waste the return coupon. It's on to
the otherwhere and back to the Imps of
earth.
The baby Usp and the wistful look al
lng freedom in fashion and design, pleas
antly In contrast to the slavish adherence
to stilted modes often in vogue.
A full half dozen distinct types and
styles of gowns and street costumes are
offered by the modiste this Spring. First,
there is the smart ltttle "cut-away" suit,
the jacket of which is a chic imitation of
the masculine dresB-coat, the effect ac
centuated by trimmings of braid; this Is
a natty model for street and calling cos
tumes In the light-weight Spring mate
rials, and later on we shall see the smart
little "swallow-tair done In ducks and
linens for the warmer weather. Then
there is the "Jumper-suit," of Spring and
Summer silks, which is an exaggeration
of the "suspender-suit" of last season;
instead of the shoulder straps, the "sus
penders" are exaggerated into a semi
blouse effect, the new kimono sleew la
added, and the "Jumper-suit" is complete
to wear with dainty shirt-waists of silk
ways put a crimp In Uncle Tom's stage
voice and a blur on the eyes of the
gallery gods, but they don't seem to
make a hljr'at Eva's home, hence Mrs.
Horsnyders hymeneal merry-go-round.
She weds in the morning, makes her hus
band a widower at 10:30 by the clock,
comes back o him at midnight, gets a
transfer the next day, takes another
matrimonial line and is ready that night
for a new game of hide-and-seek with the
seraphim and cherubim.
"Run along now little one, and get
your divorce." is the taunting way the
real Vncle Tom hands it to Eva after
she has given the audience its 50 cents'
worth of passing away.
"Don't loiter on the way, Eva," adds
Marks, the lawyer. "We shall miss you
if you don't come back and die some
more."
"Shall I pass you a bunch of -flowers
for the funeral or the wedding tomorrow
night?" asked Eliza, pushing the river
aside and wiping out her octoroon taint
in the washbowl. "Tou died lovely last
night.'" ,
Her Iilfe Behind Scenes.
Thus was Eva's life behind the scenes
very much of the earth earthy. It was up
among the scenery, down again to the
stage floor and back home heaven, pur
gatory and ghenna In regular heart-breaking
sequence. She haa slipped the matri
monial halter off of Joseph Horsnyder and
turned him loose. If the records be right.
Joseph was not good to Eva after she
put off her angel raiment and translated
herself into the patient, plodding little
housewife. His predecessor In office,
Robert Caldwell, was no better. His
conge was delivered in California, where
the flowers, the oranges and the grafters
come from.
Then she married Albert Mudge In
Toledo, traveled a marital beat happily
with liim for a spell, cast him forth,
married him again and then cut the bonds
for aye. Albert got dizzy studying his
domestic status and hadn't the head to
object to the final move. Then It was
Horsnyder. who went Into the discard,
and Carra Horsnyder became once more
the plain Carra Davidson of her girlhood
days.

and linen. In the more elaborate cos
tumes, the reception frocks and the even
ing gowns, a wealth of lace, fine em
broideries, new silken materials and fancy
trimmings are used. The . pretty and
graceful princess lines are -going to -remain
the most popular pattern, and
many modifications of this fashion, all
preserving the essential long, close-fitting
lines of the princess gown proper,
give variety to the model with an attrac
tive chance for Individuality In each cre
ation. The city's show-windoww this week have
had on display some exquisite models.
Portland's merchants seem to have vied
with each other this Spring in whisking
back from Gotham a delightful variety
of patterns and materials, and In every
shop, from the big department stores
downtown to the busy little establish
ments far away from the trade centers,
one may find exquisite effects In every
STRONG SYSTEM IN DEBATE
WISCONSIN METHODS USED BIT
O'lTEKSITT OF OREGON.
Experience Requisite for Position on
Team Oregon Champions to Meet
T7tah, April 29.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or.. March 30. (Special.) By winning
the championship of the Triangular
Debate League, the University of Ore
gon has attained the same promi
nence in Intellectual competition that it
has long enjoyed In athletics. The Ore
gon victory was due in part to the un
usual ability of the debaters, but also to
the careful coaching of John B. Brind
ley, the Instructor In economics, who was
a famous medal debate -winner at Wis
consin. He introduced the methods and
system which has made the University of
Wisconsin the strongest debating Insti
tution in the Middle West.
The .system Includes a comprehensive
organization of material under a. single
principle, which becomes the war cry or
Blogan of each member on the team, so
that the force of the argument strikes
the Judges clearly and forcefully. The
remarkable efficiency of this organiza
tion was shown to advantage against
Washington, where Oregon admittedly
had the weak side of the negro question
In arguing for the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment.
Another part of the system Includes a
regular progression of debates from the
freshman to the Junior and senior years,
so that hereafter the Oregon debaters
will make the 'varsity only after going
through the experience of it least three
formal debates on the widest questions
of the day.
Without doubt the future debates of
Oregon will be of a far superior quality
to those of the past and even the severe
hue and material to delight the eye and
deplete the pocketbook.
The Oregonian's camera man has man
aged to catch an Easter maid busy at
"trying on" a few of the smart suits and
pretty gowns found in a Washington
street establishment, and the pictures are
herewith reproduced.
No. 1 is a handsome creation of golden
brown lace, in heavy embroidery pattern,
over cream eilk. Hand-made medallions
are liberally used in trimming. This
gown is in exclusive pattern, and the
price will tip the pocketbook at $135.
No. 2 is an all-over lace frock in creamy
tint, with a touch of dainty Dresden. The
princess girdle Is of Dresden silk, and
touches of the shimmering blend of pink
and green are artistically distributed else
where. The pattern is upon a fine bobbinet
foundation, and each floral scroll has,
hanging pendant from Its center, a trio of
embroidered lilies of the valley, of hand
handicap of losing Francis V. Galloway
and John C. Veatch, the leaders of the
teams that defeated Idaho and Wash
ington last Thursday, will be compensated
for by the Increased practice and train
ing of the new system.
Under the operation of these new meth
ods. Interest in debate has Increased more
than ever before and the 'Varsity de
bater is actually on a basis superior to
that of the successful football player.
There are 100 members now enrolled In
the two debating societies.
There is but one intercollegiate debate
yet to be held. It will take place in
Salt Lake against the University of Utah
on April 29. Only two men will be al
lowed on each side. The Oregon team
has not yet been selected, but it will
likely Include both Veatch and Galloway,
the two strongest men In college. The
question debated will be the same as in
the Triangular League and Oregon will
support the negative side of the question.
BOTH HAVE OLD COINS.
Charles H. Precemeder and Tllhelm
Thielemann Possess Relics.
Charles H. Precemeder, a well-known
Ptrrtlander, living at 228 East Third
street. North, is the possessor of a col
lection of rare old German coins and
souvenir spoons, molded from coins. He
is very proud of his treasures, and thinks
he can toe counted in when it comes to
the "old coin" discussion, now raging in
this city. He" has a whole handful of
them.
In the Precemeder collection there are
a varied lot of old coins, dating far back.
He has two Hamburg coins that are de
clared to be -between 700 and 800 years
old. but which bear no date, and therefore
their exact age cannot be told. These are
among those most highly prized fcy him.
Another rare coin Is one bearing the date
of 1820. on one side of which is the coat-of-arms
and on the other the bust of
Frederick Wilhelm. the Third, King df
Prussia. He has a number of 3-pfennige
pieces of the reign of Frederick the Great,
dating from 1774 tc 17S5.
Other coins highly prized by Mr. Prece
made embroidery. This costume is ex
quisitely girlish in effect. The purchaser
must part with (or Induce her husband to
part with) a check reaching well past the
$300 mark before this may hang In her
clothes-press.
No. 3 is an example of the new cutaway
suit. This smart model comes In the
light mixed-goods materials of early
Spring, and will appear later In linen
and ducks. '
No. 4 shows one of the charming liber
ties the modiste has taken with the prin
cess pattern. This princess slip is of
cream silk with rich blue polkadots. It
is worn with silk or lace waists of a de
gree of elaborateness, and Is extremely
becoming to the talKwomen of good fig
ure. Smart lace trimmings at the edges
of the modified version of the kimono
sleeve give a dressy touch to this simple
little frock, which bears a tag calling for
only 66 round simoleons.
meder are ten pieces of 24-elnen thaler.
Twenty-four of these make $1. They bear
the date of 1785. The spoons are beauti
ful specimens, of the Jeweler's art. He has
six of these, dating from 1770 to 1778.
The coins constitute the bowl of the
spoon, and are made from 3-einen relchs
thaler, three of which make one German
dollar. On one side Is the bust of Fredi
erick the Great, and on the obverse side
the words, Fredericus Buruss (Prussia)
Borussum Rex (the King).
Wilhelm Thielemann, an employe In the
distributing department of the Portland
postoffice, declares he can match D. B.
Kelley's M United States gold coin of
1796, although Mr. Kelley was inclined to
the belief that he was far ahead of any
one In his rare possession. Mr. Thiele
mann writes that he has a silver dollar
of 1795, also a half-dollar piece of the same
date, and says he can go one better on a
one-cent piece, the date of it being 1794.
He also possesses a United States Frank
lin cent of 1787.

My clothier says, "Nothing; doing!"
So I went across the street and
saw some Kaufman Garments 115.00
to $18.00 guaranteed.
Guaranteed for up-to-date fabric

This "exclusive pattern" talk of
some clothes-makers is just talk and
nothing more. .
. All clothes-makers buy from the
same mills. And all weavers make
up the same patterns in different
grades of fabric the same season.
Kaufman Garments 15. to 18.
So low-priced or high-priced yon
get the same fabric effects checks,
stripes? or plain goods no matter
what you pay for youf clothes.
As for designs cut, fit and finish
these are all after the same fashion
plates each season.
And all clothes-makers give you
the same styles.
But "shape permanence" is qnite
another matter because all wool
will shrink. '
And unless this "shrink tendency"
can be overcome somewhere between
the sheep's back and your back, why,
it will'surely showup in your clothes
and make trouble.
Clothes made from fabrics that are
not thoroughly shrunk in advance are
sure to "wrinkle" or "pucker" or
"hump" or "bulge' ' or"draw in"
on the very first damp day.
It is "up to the clothes-makers" to
shrink the fabrics.
They do their best, but "their best"
isn't always very good, and some
times it is pretty pooi; as In case of
the clothes I have on.

Maxwell-street district.
Instead of sentencing the husband, the
wife will be sentenced In the future. In

will make the finest drive in the city. It is to be
a part of the city's system. Every street in Rose
City Park will be parked. Little triangular plots
have been planned for small parks. From the
Alameda there is a view that will appeal to any-.
body. At every step a new natural picture is
seen. This elegant drive is over two miles long,
and will be the handsomest residence street in the
city in a couple of years. It runs along the crest
of a terrace, 75 feet high, overlooking almost the
entire Willamette Valley.

But the Kaufmans use a special
shrinking process. -.
Every bolt of cloth that comes to
the great Kaufman - Tailoring Es
tablishment is treated with what is
known as The Kaufman " Pre-Shrink-ing"
Process, which takes every bit of
the "shrink tendency" out of the
fabric before it is made up into Kauf
man Garments.
That is why Kaufman Garments
at $15.00 to $18.00 always hold their
shape. s
That Is why wearers of Kaufman
Garments always look well are
always "stylishly" dressed.
Kaufman Garments wear better be
cause JPre-Shrunk fabrics do not
"wrinkle," "chafe" nor "get thin"
in odd corners.
But only the Kaufm ans can give yon
this assurance.
The Kaufman "Pre-Shrinklng Pro-
cess la owned, and controlled by -- they
Kaufmans and tiler - will not allow tts
uae outside their own big tailoring -establishment.
Of course shrinkage means loss to the
K lufmane. but tbey want your trade, so
are content with small profit and give
you fon.SlS.00 to SIS. 00 as nobby fabric
patterns and line original style as. other
clothes-makers give and then the
shape permanence which others cannot
Sive no matter how much tbey charge.
Why should you pay $35.00 ox more for
uncertain shape in clothes, when you
get shape certainty for less money? Our
prices range from $10 to 925. Most people
can be suited in Kaufman Garments $15
to $18. - .

weeks on ham and eggs varied by hot
biscuits, mashed potatoes" and steak."
After several weeks of psychological re
search conducted on practical lines. Judge
Clelland has discovered that food served
in indifferent style by more indifferent
wives has more to do with sending hus
bands to the corner saloon for solace
than any other one thing. Experiments
have shown that good food will f6rce
the most delinquent husband to forget
his evil ways and return to the straight
and narrow path.
If there were any doubt to the truth
of this theory, it was forthcoming at last
night's review of paroled husbands in
Judge Clelland's court. There were 50
husbands who had been placed upon their
honor and good food. The latter had re
formed to such an extent that there were
few wives who had any complaint to
make of, their husbands.
