The right claw of the creature was Its right hand and was armed with sharp teeth, whereas the left olaw had teeth which were short : and blunt. While that arrangement of the teeth was the case with about to per cent of the lobsters, there were about 1 or t per cent, at any rate. In whioh the con dition was reversed, and the sharp teeth were on the left side and the blunt teeth on the right That was just exactly the proportion of left handed persons among human beings.

The all-over lace waist will be as pop ular as ever this season, and with Its dainty and often elaborate silken lining. Is more dressy than ever. Combinations of silks and satins, in the most deli cate tints, with Inserting and lace, are also found In the fancy waists, and the dainty tints of Dresden ribbon are at tractively combined with creamy web work lace In some of the pattern bod Ice. A few of the Parisian waists In the , dock of a Washington-street department tore are shown in the accompanying pictures, posed for The Oresonlan's cam- PRESIDENT OF WOMAN'S CLUB DELIVERS INAUGURAL ADDRESS THE3 Women's Club held the first meeting, after' the Summer va cation, in the Women of Wood craft Hall Friday afternocra and Judging from the attendanoe which was large and representative, and the enthusiasm which prevailed throughout, the club is starting off very auspiciously for the coming sea son of 1007 and 1908. The meeting was presided ever by the new president, Mrs. Frederick Eggert, whose dignity and ability lends grace to any assemblage. The calendar committee, with Mrs. John W. Alexander as chairman, has worked faithfully during the Summer and have compiled a splendid pro gramme for the coming season, includ ing such notable men as Mr. Enos A. Mllla of the United States Forestry Bureau, who will address the club October 26. As this is a subject fraught with much interest to all Ore gonians, the ladles generously agreed to make this an open day, since there are many who might be more than glad to embrace an opportunity to hear Mr. Mills, who has a National reputation. On February 14 Rev. W. H. Foulkes will address the ladles on "The Small College." This promises to be a very rich afternoon. On March 13 a rare treat Is In store for tho club in a stereopticon lecture on "Some Cathedrals and Churches in France." by the Right Kev. Charles Scaddlng. - L. D.. Bishop of Oregon. The club departments are all In flour ishing condition, and with such women as Sarah A. Evans as leader m&rm iv, - x,- r,r - "m i"ir" era. No. 1 shows a silk and lace waist. In dainty combination. The high collar, which Is a feature of the new waists1, Is topped with a dainty frill of Valen ciennes and the cuffs of the elbow sleeves are prettily finished to match, the frill. of lace being embroidered to the sleeves and collar, instead of stitched to them. Some of the new waists are fitted with severely plain yokes, but this one Is fashioned fancifully, as are mOBt of the dressier garments. The silk Is of the palest blue and the lace of delicate cream. of Current Literature; Mrs. J. C. Prltchard, Educational; Mrs. Abigail Scott Puniway, Governmental Study; Mrs. Alice We later. Psychology and Art; Mrs. W. Wynn Johnson, the re tiring president and very able leader, of Parliamentary Study, as well as other intellectual and efficient women as leaders of the rest of the depart ments, the club must certainly ehow splendid results at the end of the en suing year. Mrs. MofTet, the chair man of the English Literature depart ment, has secured Dr. Chapman as leader. Mrs. Welster has also been most fortunate in securing A. A. Lindsay, M. D., one of the most emi nent lecturers on psychology in America. The president's address of greeting was a fine exposition of some of the points that club women are striving to uphold and was met with great enthusiasm. Mrs. Sarah A. Ev ans gave a review of the Jamestown Exposition, full of information and bright, well-put observations. Mrs. Eggert's address follows: To the Officers and Members of the 'Wom en's Club, greeting: In assuming the duties and reBponalbllttlea of the position wltn which you honored me, I do so with an earnest purpose to maintain the high standards set by my honored prede cessors, hoping also that the end of the year may find us advanced along all lines of werlc and Influence, - , As we, this day, after the Summer of rest and recreation, take up the active work of the year, let us ever bear In mind the ob ject of this club as stated In our constltu tLon. vlx: "To secure concert of action In Intellectual, philanthropic and social activi ties." Let me emphasise the expression "con cert of action." and reiterate the thourht expressed In jhe closing words of my prede cessor, that only la nroportyon as the mem bership sustains the effort of Us leader an n A.J.,)M-tWrlr.,....,,. ,.

Here and there bits of the sheerest muslin, with frlllings of fine Valenciennes, are com bined with the Mechlin lace of coarser weave, but with harmonious and charm ing effect. Another combination of web-lace -. and Valenciennes, with 'sheer muslin, is shown in No. a, the waist being really an all-over-pattern, the waist being em thejub attain the realisation of Its highest As wltn individuals, so with organisations, one of the prerequisites of usefulness In , this busy world Is a practical conception of the value of time, and another almost in separable from it is the faculty of dlcrlm Inatlon in favor of the things that are Worth while as against those lesser things that are of .small account. No Time for Trifles. While advancing the larger purposes for which this club exists, let ns not. for the sake of unimportant trifles, fritter away the valuable tune of Our all too brief busi ness sessions by frivolous disputations which are neither creditable nor profitable to us in dividually or collectively. And while speaking of our business see sions, let me say la passing that in roy ?ersonal opinion It is a mistake to admit vis tors during this hour. A visitor entering in the midst of an ear nest discussion and unaware of what has gone before may receive an impression which does the club great Injustice. Again, business may ansa which in Itself Is per fectly legitimate, proper and even essential to the best interests of the club that should not be aired before others not responsible for its nonor or good name. I know of no other olub similar to our a in else and scope which admits visitors to its business ssessions ex cept under the moat rigid rules and regula tions. As to the press, we hope ever and always to sustain the most friendly relations with this most potent molder of public opinion, and to be able to extend as well as to receive courtesies We appreciate favors of the past and shall ever be reafiy to recip rocate with Information concerning our pro grammes, our social occasions or anv other event of Interest to the public. We feel as sured that every fair-minded person will, without argument, concede and respect our right to decide for ourselves how much or little of our private buetness affairs shall be given out for publlo dissemination. Flans of Committees. The calendar committee has, as yon bave already learned, arranged for the year pro grammes which give great promise of pleasure, interest and profit. - The social committee has plans for the furtherance not only of social pleasure but also for the promotion of acquaintance, friendship and fellowship In our club fam ily, and cordlaUty to our guests. ' Entertaining and. lnatructlve programmes duly Interspersed with opportunity for In terchange Of social amenities can be made potent factors in adding to ear ranks those broidered together daintily so that the trail of the sewing machine is not to be found upon any portion of it. The verti cal strlppinga of lace, shown in ,thls pat tern, will be used in some of the smarter waists, although horizontal trimmings will also be popular. The yoke Is an elaborate combination of Valenciennes and sheer muslin, and the fancy collar is finished with a tiny frill of Valenciennes. In No. 4 one of the more 'elaborate of the new sleeves is shown, the fulness of the sleeve being formed of row upon row of overlapping lace flounoes, of nar who later may become actively enlisted In the more serious phases of club life The publicity committee, being consti tuted of our past presidents, is sufficient assurance of the very best service along the lines of Its duties. The other committees, whom I may not linger to mention, we know will come no to ,tne standard of faithful performance of duty. Agreeing most heartily with the expressed sentiments of most of my predecessors that the departments are "the vsry essence of the life of the dub," I would recommend that each member ally herself with at least one; a pledge to Join one or more departments is made one of the conditions of active mem bership in the Century Club of Detroit, Mich. To the departments In accordance with their varied lines of work and to the club at large. I would suggest the serious consid eration of several measures which. In my Judgment, should call forth the earnest ef fort of the woman's Club. If this club stands for anything worth while, it surely stands for the protection of childhood and Its right to the best possi ble conditions, environment and Influence for iucdlsi growia ana moral weirara As a means to this end the publlo school, the institution of which every American should be proud and ever ready to defend, should be placed upon a foundation abso lutely Impregnable against attack or man ipulation through political Influence.

A teacher who has proven himself or her self thorouKhlyequlpped by education, train ing and experience, added to irreproachable moral character, should be so Intrenched in that position that it cannot be imperiled by personal favoritism or political influence.

Again the unsanitary conditions of soma of our school buildings should not be tor gotten nor forgiven until remedied. To the movement to secure the kindergar ten and industrial training as adjuncts of our public school system let us lend our good will and moral support. May we continue in well doing In the In terest of the state federation education loan fund by devising ways and means whereby we may materially add to our previous con tributions thereunto. Along philanthropic lines let ns give spe- ' elal consideration to any plan which, may , row width, and the cuff finished fanci fully with a double row of the lace. Sev eral bolts of expensive Valenciennes laoe and insertion are utilized in this dainty little blouse, and the narure at which it 'may be had is staggering to the casual ODserver who has not examined the ex quisite fineness of the materials used. A variation of the klmona effect is shown in the all-over lace garment, plo tured in No. .6. In this a bib of pretty open-work web laoe takes the place of the klmona reveres, giving width to the shoulders and style to pattern. This is a pretty girlish pattern for the matinee or informal party. An ultra-fanciful style is shown In No. 6. which Is of delicate pink satin, com bined with fine lace of dainty cream tint, the lines being in curves and scrolls, and the body of the waist embroidered to a yoke fashioned with equal elaborate ness. A variation is shown in - the cuffs of this waist, the sleeves being finished with a broad revere cuff of frilled lace. The sleeves In all the waists will be short this season, and worn with long gloves. The buttons, or hooks and eyes, will continue to run down the back also, so that a lady's maid, or a course in gym anstlcs, will continue to be necessary, unless the girl who would be up-to-date la already a contortionist. be set on foot to provide a hospital for the proper care of the sick poor of th county. Our interest in the Visiting urser Asso ciation, as also In the work of the Juvenile Court will surely not wane. Our honored Mayor has inaugurated a campaign for the betterment of our city streets and the cleaning up of our Plasa and park blocks; surely he can count upon the Woman's Club to indorse and aid in all pos sible ways his plans in this direction; for the deplorable condition of many of Ota streets would discredit the esprit de corps of a much smaller and poorer city than ours. Flans for a Clobbouse. Concerning plans for the benefit ef the club itself, we do not forget tho suggestion of our past president. Mrs. Breymaq. and reiterated by her successor, Mrs Johnson, that a stock company be formed for the purpose of buying or building a clubhouse, and hope that at no distant day some such plan may secure to us our own home In whloh we could- do better werk than possi ble under existing conditions. In closing let me assure yoa that for the coming months I pledge you my very best endeavor, and ask your Indulgence an forbearance with my shortcomings, feeling deeply that I can serve yeu . best only in f proportion as you sustain and aid me by osing aiBht of everything else, but that to gether and all together we have Joined hands in the service of humanity through the instrumentality of this organisation whose dignity and honor we are bound unitedly to sustain by individually and col lectively proving ourselves worthy of mem bership. Finally, as Mrs. Caroline M. Severance dedicated the Los Angeles clubhouse, so let us dedicate ourselves and our club.

Resolutions were adopted at a meeting of the student body of the University of Washington this week, fa voring a Northwest intercollegiate con ferense to be held on the Washington campus at the time of the three-cornered track meet next Spring, at which time representatives of the leading universities and colleges of the Northwest will be present to agree on rules to govern ath letic and other relations. Acting on the resolutions adopted, the board of control will immediately take steps to Interest Oregon and Idaho institutions in the nlan. It is the idea of those fostering the movement to perfect a league something like the Big Nine of the Middle West. Here, however. It la suggested the pact result in what may appropriately be des ignated the Big Six, Including the Uni versity of Washington, Whitman College. Pullman, University , of Oregon, Oregon Agricultural College, and the University of Idaho. One of the prime objects of the conference win be to discuss the ques tion of scneauie, advocating such series of football contests as will leave no doubt at the end of the season which institu tion Is the champion. The idea Is to pre vent situations such as that last Fall, where Oregon won the championship, subjeot to dispute from Pullman, which claimed that signal honor. Had it been so arranged that these disputants could have met and fought out their contro versy, there would have been no doubt as to which was the certain champion. Rules of eligibility will also 'be deter mined upon at the proposed conference, in case the other institutions take kindly to the Idea Initiated by Washington. A cer tain small faction at the U. of W. desires that the one-year rule be adopted, where by freshmen will be excluded from par ticipation on athletto teams, and If the conference materializes this question will be talked of at least. The college paper here Is making a big fight for the one-year rule, but It by no means reflects student opinion generally on the proposition. Coach Place and Cap tain Bagshaw, of the eleven, laugh at the suggestion, and the stand of the faction controlling the college paper Is considered a joke by most of the students. It Is pointed out by those who think the agita tion worth noticing that there is no need for the freshmen exclusion here, as there Is in the Blast and Middle West; that things are going along very well now, and that such a rule would be an unnecessary discrimination against the first-year men and would prove disastrous to athletics in the Northwest. Besides those mentioned, there are other objects which could be served by the con ference, say those who are its sponsors. Tennis, basketball and debate and oratory would come in for considerable discussion to better intercollegiate relations in those activities. The student board of control will ap point a committee soon to communicate with other educational institutions of the Northwest to learn their attitude on the conference question. As to the one-year rule discussion, it will die through the In fluence of ridicule at the University of Washington. America's Dally Loss by Fire.
