THE3 Springtime Impulse to plant something and watch It grow Is, Just . at this time, calling with Its strong est appeal to every Portlander who can boast a patch of ground large enough to hold a little row of seeds, or the roots of a tiny shrub In. ' From the windows of any streetcar, on any line, one may see the planters busy In back yard or rose garden, working away as busily and en ergetically as if Ue depended unon their efforts, and among the wlelders of trowel, pruning shears, spade and garden rake all ages are represented from the snowy haired, be-spectaclcd grandma, and stoop shouldered grandpa, down to the tiny toddler In "rompers who turns the earth with a toy spade and digs up bis seeds hourly to see If they have begun to sprout. All classes of society, too, are at It, and the pink sun-bonnet of the young matron who presides over the humblest suburban cottage, and who la assisted by a coterie of tumbling, tousled young sters, bobs about In her garden patch Just as Joyously as does the picturesque big sun-hat of milady of the aristocratic home on the Heights, busily pruning her choice rose bushes, or training her fa vorite clematis over trellis or Summer house In her spacious grounds. Tbe costumes worn by the gardeners re diverse, but The Oregonlan's camera man has endeavored to seenre pictures of a few of the most popular Items of feminine gardening apparel, the accom panying Illustrations being the result. An attractive and picturesque figure, familiar In the suburban flower and vege table gardens of the city. Is that shown In No. 1, which shows an energetic gar dener In a saucy pink sun-bonnet and a great apron of checked gingham, which envelops her from shoulder to hem and has capacious pockets, from which peep the corners of little seed envelopes, hec tically ornamented with enticing pictures In color, of the future glories awaiting the Industrious person who will but plant the contents. The sun-bonnet, to some women. Is distasteful on account pf shut ting In the ears and a tendency to sit awkwardly on a high coiffure, but It is universally becoming, and on this ac count alone. Is sure of a liberal patronage every season. Picture No. 2 shows principally a sun bat, but close observation will disclose a pair of rubber gloves, augmented by a pair of basket-weave sleeve protectors furnishing a valuable tip to the possessor of dainty bands who wishes to preserve their daintiness while working with trow el or knife about plants which thrive In moist soil. The sleeve protectors enable one. also, to keep one's ruffles or cuffs immaculate, without the trouble of chang ing, when- spare half hour is a'allable for gardening before one's shopping trip Is due. Some women there are who are fortu nate enough to be possessed of cocn . plexlons which may brave sun and wind without fear of tan. freckles or sunburn, and these rejoice in going Into the garden hatless. with sleeves rolled up past the elbow, and as like as not. with shirt-waist neck turned under, the better to give de fiance to the over-ardent elements which .week auoh distressing damage txr more sensitive cuticle: this type Is shown In Picture No. 3. where a cool, soft lace fichu borders the turned-under neok of a short-sleeved shirt-waist. An Important item among those the woman gardener should have at hand is the coat-sweater, which will save many a distressing cold if kept conveniently handy, so that it may be slipped on to prevent the chill that follows an enthu siastlo bout among the shrubs or plants. So useful is the coat-sweater, at all times, Indeed, that one is 'prone to wonder why so obvious' a need was never filled be fore Its recent coming: the Initial, high necked sweater, with Its only approach through the bottom, and thence through Its reluctantly-stretchable choker, could never have become, popular with women generally because of Its awkwardness, and because of its penalty of mussed and tangled tresses. In the coat-sweater, which even adds the rare Joy of pockets, the problem of the comfortable" Out-of-doors wrap for women has been solved, and It is des- flned to become a permanent Institution n the feminine wardrobe the year round. One of these coat-sweaters, with the large, loose, gauntlet gloves, so needful for the fair gardener, is shown in Pic ture No. 4. Annual Report Rendered by the Secretary of Ladies' Advisory Board of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society POLOXDWING Is the report of Mrs. C B.

" "-- shall I tell the members and friends of the Aid Society this year?" Triumphs, disappointments and dlffculties that we have met wUb have been told so many times. The advisory board consists or six mem bers chosen from different relislous organi zations. Our duty is to visit the Reeetvlng Home regularly, carefully to Investigate and Inspect the condition of the wards and re port to tne Doara m gestlons to them for Improvements In tne home or its Inmates We never forget "There is no place like home" for the children, and when through neglect or cruel treatment of parents they . . w tr. .,- a wi cooletv. we realise they have loet their natu-a! heritage.

They are In earnest In trying to make the Institution as homelike as possible: they do not have formal roles and ceremonies, discipline Is not visible. - , i nleu.irrAiinrl fnr- thA chll- in i (ft-o " - - - drn; they have wholesome food and plenty of it ana me muwu e h -every child render lome aervlce in the borne.

The Aid Society has not adopted a uni form apparel; the children are required to do their daily dutiea in an orderly man ner, but the line-up military system Is not otten jvcL When children are treated in classes and remain lone in any Institution they acquire the habit of waiting for direc tions in everything; they do. Each child has its owjy personality and should be treated accordingly. The orphaned child, the ns;lected. tbe abused and the wayward child are all brought together and your advisory board finds that in whichsoever of the classes the child may rightfully be placed the treatment It receives is of friendship and trust. In visiting the Kecelvlng Home we see children from nearly every county in the Kecently a family of 12 children was re ported to our superintendent. The father and mother were both bad characters; tho children were taught to steal and subjected to the very worst treatment. After some difficulty the parents were brought Into court and tha 13 children legally taken and placed In care of the society. Some of these children have already been placed in a-ood. family homes. wtaar thejr are iiaxy and are receiving the love and attention they never knew In their own home. The greatest burden of the society Is the feeble-minded. Many have been received, as there is no institution for them. An ap proprtaton has been made by our state and we hope there will soon be more adequate means for treating these defectives.. Four feeble-minded children were con mitted to the home. An investigation showed it was In herited, as both parents were feeble-minded. These children are developing- physically but their minds are not developing. Seven years ago a family was brought to the Receiving Home, the father a drunk ard and the mother a notorious beggar.. One of the girls of this family was both phys lcally and mentally defective. It was 1m- posslble to keep her at the Aid Society and she was sent to the ccunty almshouse. Last year several children, most of them mentally weak,' were sent to the home to await the recovery of their mother at the hospital. Mr. Gardner was surprised to find in looking over his records that these weak-minded children "were the offspring of the feeble-minded girl that had been sent to the county almshouse only a few years ago. Who can measure the depravity or realize the misery and suffering that will come to" any community If these unfortunates are not kept In special institutions separate and apart from the world?

Made Me Look 20 Years Younger" Sayg Cincinnati Lady Who Tried It "Now Past 40, but My Complexion Is Smoother and Better Than in Girlhood," Writes a Kentucky Woman, Who Used. This Wonderful Process for Removing Wrinkles. The Discoverer Offers to Give Particulars Free of Charge to All Who Write Her Within Next Ten Days Exacts Promise of Secrecy Treatment Very Simple and Absolutely Harmless May Be Used Without the Knowledge of Your Most Intimate friend. Bver since woman's beauty held away over man and brought ber power, influ ence and wealth, she has sought a way to stay the processes of old age and banish deep lines and furrows from the brow. Chemists, beauty doctors and skin spe cialists have for centuries past vainly tried to fathom the sealed secrets of na ture, and find a way to keep the beauty of youth in a woman's face and form. Harriett Meta was no exception to the general rule of -vomen. Trouble and worry left their unsightly lines and marks upon ber face. She saw the beauty of her youth giving way to the heavy imprints of ctomlng age. N Her first resort was to facial massage, cold cream and steaming pots; then next to beauty specialists; out all In vain. The wrinkles seemed, if anything, to grow deeper and deeper. Massage even ap peared to stretch the' skin; more wrin kles came. She had spent all the money she could afford to spend, and was ready to give up In despair, when one day a friend made a happy suggestion. This gave her a brilliant idea. She set to work on the thing herself, and after several months' hard labor and almost endless experimenting, she succeded In producing a wrinkle remover, entirely dif ferent from anything she had seen or heard of. She tried It on herself, and 1o and behold I it worked a wonderful trans formation In a single night. She tried it a second night, and her wrinkles were prac tically gone. A third night three treat ments In all and her wrinkles had entire ly disappeared and her skin was soft, clear, rosy and smooth. Many others also have used this re markable process with wonderful results. Mrs. Moran Elmer, of New York City, writes: "Tour treatment removed my wrinkles in one night." i-rs. Turnham, of Seattle, Wash., says: "My wrinkles are all gone; words cannot express how grateful I feel to you for what your treatment has done for me." Mrs. A. M. Brooks, of Howe. Texas, writes: "Tour treatment is me first I ever tried tlmt really had the desired effect In banish ing face lines. I am 68 years old and yet many say I do not look more than 45." Miss Gladys Desmond, the actress, of Pittsburg, Pa., says: "Tour treatment made my wrinkles disappear In one night. It Is certainly a Godsend to womankind. 1 tried cold creams, skin foods and vari ous advertised wrinkle removers, but they all failed absolutely, and I confess I was very skeptical about your treatment, but in one night my skepticism had . entirely vanished. When I looked at my face on the following morning and.- saw what a wonderful transformation had taken place I was sure at last I had found the right thing." In speaking of her discovery. Miss Meta says: "Yes, I know It sounds too good to be true, but really - do not think re moving wrinkles Is half so wonderful as the telephone. Before the telephone was Invented, it appeared ridiculous to think of talking from New York to Chicago. , "Those who have used cold creams, etc., cannot understand how-my treatment can act quickly. Yet, after all, it Is very sim ple, and I wonder that someone did not discover tbe process long ago. My letters from patients tell the whole story. Here Is one from a lady who says my treatment made her look twenty years younger, also letters from many others. I do not see how any one can doubt In the face of such testimony as this. I tried cold creams, massage, etc., myself without re sults, and I can thoroughly sympathize with those who have tried to get rid of wrinkles, and I am truly glad that I feel I can now joffer womankind a surer and shorter way. "I will give further particulars to ail those who writs me within the next ten days. ' I must exact a promise of secrecy from every one for my own protection be fore I give full information you can use my treatment on yourself in your own family, but you must not tell what It is to outsiders. "I guarantee my treatment will in no way injure your skin. On the contrary, It will give it a soft, velvety feeling, and greatly Improve your complexion, as well as banisn, unsightly lines and wrinkles. It takes only a few minutes to use it. "Address Harriett Metu, Suite 1021 I), Syracuse. N. Y. I will send everything In plain sealed envelope, that our corre spondence will be strictly private." .
