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. Templeton, secretary of the

tn th hnurd of trustees and members
of the Boys and Girls' Aid Society at
the meeting Tuesday:
t ..ihmititnff mv fourteenth annual re

board, the question comes 10 m. " "--
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

The motives oi our -i.". .
nmtron are a desire to make young lives
pure and strong. 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.

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? '

Toot Her Wrinkles Out
In Tfiree Niglits
AFTER MASSAGE AND BEAUTY SPECIALISTS HAD
FAILED .
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.

plain sealed envelope, that our corre
spondence will be strictly private." .
