THE SUNDAY OREGOIA PORTLAND, JULY 18. 1909. IT'S SIMPLE TO BE DRESSY, GENTLE MAIDEN, WHEN TAKING A SAUNTER TO THE BEACH In the Present Heated Season, When the People Flee the Cities, Milady Often Burdens Herself "With What She Never Needs Hence These Tim ely Hicts From One -Who Knows. ' ' ONK of the important questions, just at the present, season, is that of nhat to I'Ut in one's suitcase for the week-end visit, or the brief sojourn t beaoh hotel or seaside cottage of hos pitable friends. The problem of what not to take, however, is probably more im portant than of what to take, with the average woman or young girl, for the in clination is to crowd In many unneces sary things, rather than to pack too few. A clever young matron, who has a repu tation for her knack of always making a fresh and charming appearance, even wlille merely "living in her suitcase." was recently asked for a few suggestions as to just how many and what kind of shirtwaists, blouses, lingerie fncks and dinner gowns she deemed It best to take along for a one-weekstay at a fashionable beach resort. In reply, the pretty and Ingenioiis young matron rang for her maid to bring her light leather suitcase, stepped to her clothes closet, and, in the twinkling of an eye. had "packed up" all thaj she said she would require for any and 'all occasions that might arise on such a trip. The contents of that little traveling case, which was unexpectedly and refreshingly light of weight, were promptly sketched by The Oregonian's 'artist, and with the exception of a few little personal toil.'tte accessories, such as comb and brush, tooth brush, soap, etc.. the sketches are all herewith re produced. Here It Is In a Xiitkcll. ' Of the four waists show-n. No. 1 and No. J were of w hite linen, of very simple tic sign, but immaculately laundered and very effective and smart in appearance. Armies of Teachers at Denver Manual Training, Technical Work. Domestic Science and Beastly Weather the Principal Topics for the National Educational Association. FT I.IMAX T1NGI.K- DF.NVKR. Colo.. July The famous Denver climate appears to have some of tit characteristics of the small boy or girl for that matter, who persists In "lOtowins off" and ''acting up" when visitors are present. Or it may that it is tht concentration of brain power, due to the presonr of over 7tX leading educators in th city; which has produced the electrical disturbances of the la?t few day?. Sforvhlntc hrt and a thunder storm jtist before dinner have come to be re garded as ivKUlar, though unofficial, features of the programme of the National Kduoatlonal Association now in session in this city. Old residents say that such weather Is "nio.i unusual" (What a lot of unusual weather there is In some places ! and. In. teed, has not been known since the niwtinjit of the National Educa tional Association here five years ago. Boating is b-ing enjoyed in some of the lV?nw streets, and every train brings In delayed association virftors or Fourth of July excursionists with exciting tsles of floods, and washouts, and hungry waKs in out-of-the-way stations. But In spite of all the weather man ran do this, the 47th annual convention, of the National Kdticattonai Association to regarded as on of the most sucAe--s-ful ard Important in its history, both Ms regards numbers and intert of topics U.scussed. Technical education, manual i 41 These two waists were intended for morn ing or informal afternoon wear, with skirt of the gray cloth gown which had been laid out for wearing on the journey, along with the tailored box coat match ing it. The skirt and coat of this suit are shown in sketch No. 5, along with tha traveling hat to be worn on the boat or train. The little blouse sketched in No. 5. was of a dainty pattern In French zephyr gingham, of blended pink and bine tones, with a yoke and front out line of white, and two large pearl but tons. This blouse was to be taken alonfr "by way of a change and a -touch of color." and the pretty little frilly bodice of soft fine net chiffon and cobweb lace sketched in No. 4 was added for a "bit of informal Indoor dressiness of an afternoon or evening." The latter was In soft cream tones, and combined prettily and daintly with the (Tray skirt and the soft crush belt of satin to be worn with It. Only Two Klaborate Frocks. Only two of the more elaborate complete frocks were put into the case, but each of these was of suitable fash Ion and color for wear either at dinner, dancing soiree, garden party, or after noon affair of any sort- These two gowns are sketched in No. 6 and No. 7. Of soft clinging broadcloth in a pe culiar, deeptoned hue of rich blue, was the princess apron frock shown in No. . with yoke border and sleeve edgings, of satin in a still deeper and darker blue. The border of satin was also in evidence edging the polonaise effect of the princess apron, which was of the overskirt design. A gimp and long training and domestic science axe em phatically in the center of the stage, and are being taken up in some aspect in practically all sections. The change in the "center of gravity" of educational topics i most marked. As one Eastern university president remarked to me to dayapropos of a masterly address in the general session by James W. Robert son of McOonald College. Quebec prov ince, on "Kducation for the Improve ment of Rural Conditions." "ten years ago some of us hardly regarded an agri cultural college man as an 'educator and we should haw as soon expected a lecture on dressmaking in general ses sion as a duxnisaion of agricultural topics Now we find such an address most largely attended and eagerly listened to by every earnest educational worker." An audienoe of fully 7i) assembled in Denver's hug Auditorium to hear an address on "The need, scope and char acter of Industrial education in the public Mhol system. by the president of the association, Lorenzo D. Harvey, presi dent of 5tout Institute, Menomonde, Wis. One of the most Interpstlng section meet ings was that of the manual training department in which President "W. J. Ke:-r, of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege, delivered an address on "The Place of Industries in Education Considered Krom the Viewpoint of Agricultural In terests." He traced the development of acriciiltnr.il education in tite Vnited iSl.iu.-s and empasized the importance of clinging sleeves of fine cream toned chiffon, with tiny tucks completed this pretty and dainty costume. No. 7 was of some smart novelty cloth in a dainty rose color, and among Its effective features were the large buttons, exactly matching the color of the frock, and of some substance similar to the so-called "pearl" but tons, which outlined the tailored (earns of the hips. The stitched straps Joining the princess skirt to the short bodice were of the goods, finely stitched, and the bodice Itself was of the same, with embroidered French knots around the line of the yoke and at the edges of the short sleeves, which were formed of over-lapping two-inch plaits. The gimp was of fine lace with gold jewel ling, exquisitely dainty and pretty. And as to the Headgear. From her well-stocked hatbox the clever and experienced packer chose a dressy bit of millinery in black and white, of wide brim, but of such type that the bending of the brim neces sary for getting it into the traveling case could not injure It. About the fragile flower stems tissue paper was quicklv wrapped, tnree pairs of gloves were deftly folded into the crown, with a dozen fresh hankerchlefs and a violet sachet bag. and the hat was laid in, crown downward, in the center of the case, between the folds of the two frocks. A kimono and night robe were laid in on the top and. the lid snapped shut with everything Inside necessary for the fresh, daintt and charming ap pearance of the owner every day for a whole week at beach or mountain resort. extending this work until .all the peo ple engaged in agricultural pursuits shaU bo given the training required in prepara tion for their life work. He maintained that to accomplish this. It Is necessary that agriculture be provided in all public i .v,iQ inntpnH of rirwnriine- unon II U I aX OV H"W. . w r " the establishment of special separate t iah..pai u'lmnto ThA latter- h snid must unavoidably be isolated and too far removed from the people to acpomplUh the results desired. Other speakers discussing the needs of urban communities in the line of techni cal education were mainly in favor of the establishment of separate trade schools and "continuation" schools some what on the German model. Other Oregonians attending the meet ings of this association are Professor Gas kins, of the O. A. C, and Professor Moors, of Salem. The date of the State Teachers Association makes impossible the attendance of many Oregon educators In Denver. California, on the other hand, sends a large contingent conspicuous with yellow badges and "buttonholes" of Cali fornia poppy. An effort is being made to secure the meeting of the next N. E. A, convention In San Francisco, and those, in favor of this idea are provided with poppy badges by zealous Californlans. We Oregonians pondered on the success ihat might have attended similar efforts on our part, especially on warm after noons, if we had been provided with "fa vors" in the shape of the big juicy red apples real ones, of our state. But prob ably no supply could have equalled the demand. Denver citizens have shown the most lavish hospitality to their guests. It I would s-eni that every possible arrange ment had beii made for their comfort and convenience in the way of guides. 1 rest rooms, etc There are all kinds of special privileges for the wearers of the blue association bad?e free excursions, band concerts and exhibitions. Today a number of receptions, both public and private, gave an opportunity for the pleasures of sociability, and the wearing, by the feminine delegates at least, of the pretty and becoming gowns that gave a "society butterfly" appearance to even the' most serious of "school ma'ams." Friends and acquaintances from institu tions of learning in every state in the Union exchanged greetings and frivolous conversation over punch glasses and ice cream plates. College friendships were renewed, and pleasant new acquaintances formed, and views exchanged that had nothing to do with matters educational. Among those who sent greetings to Port land friends were Miss Sabin. now of Milwaukee Downer College, "Wisconsin, and Professor Clyde A. Duniway, now president of the University of Montana. Thing Barber Couldn't Stand And That Was the Reason IJe Marked Inquisitive Customer". New York Sun. Th boss called the barber at the sec ond chair aside and asked him why be had marked the customer who had a few minutes previously left the shop. "You are the oldest man in the shop and you ought to set a better example to these new fellows," the boss con tinued. "How did you ever come to do what you did, anyway?" Then the little man at chair i stood up and replied: "Well, everybody has in idea that they can tell -a barber a whole lot and then pet him started to, talking, and then they go away and abuse us because we acted as if we thought this was a gabfest. That customer came In here as you saw and crawled down into my chair. While I was tucking the towel around his neck he asked me how I liked the weather. I turned around just then and pretended not to hear him. The weather doesn't bother me. "Then I began to lather him and as T was rubbing It In he asked me how was business. I wondered what business that was of his. but I Just said 'Fine and kept on rubbing. "Then as I was soaping him for real business, you understand, he asked me how was my razor, and before I could say anything he went on to say that he didn't want to be hacked, as he was going to a party and wanted to be recog nized. "Well. I thought that was getting pret ty close to the limit, but I acted as if I hadn't heard what he aaid. I was doing my best to give him a clean shave, when he said that he thought it would not be a bad Idea for me to strop the razor on a joint of stovepipe or the sole of my boot, so as to give it an edge. "I never had anybody say a thing like that to me even when I was an appren tice. What would you have done under such an insult?" "That was an insult." replied the boss; "still you must remember that we have to 4ut up with all sorts. I would have considered the source." "Well. I didn't say anything even then. T kept right on until I got through, and he had as good a shave as he ever had in his life." "You had done nothing to him up to that time?" asked the boss. "Not a thing," answered chair 2. "Just an I was about to hand him the bay rum act he looked at me and said I was about the worst he ever saw. I simply smiled. Never made any reply. "Then he asked me tor a match and I handed him that. As he was lighting his stump of a cigar he asked me, "What do you think of the tariff?' he says. Then I picked up the razor and slit him under the chin. I won't stand for that." The next day he was promoted from chair 2 to chair 1. Figuring a Lady's Age. Bohemian.

"In tills respect," said Mrs. Glyn recently, "it Is a powerful rebuke to the narrow-minded bigots who would make men and women bear for life the conse quences of mistakes they made in uncon nMmia lirnorance.

Harriett Jieta, of Paris, London and Syracuse, absolutely free. A little over three years ago there was nothing known which, in our judg ment, would actually remove wrinkles, but at that time Mile. Meta made the important discovery which has since made her famous in two Continents. She demonstrated the great power of her new process by taking her own wrinkles out with it in three nights, after face massage, masks, straps, steaming pots, etc, had all failed, and today Allle. Meta's face is still free from wrinkles, her cheeks full and plump and her skin -and complexion is a dtlight to behold. In fact, by many she is considered the most beautiful woman in all Paris. Her remarkable discovery was brought before the judges of tne Paris Interna tion Exoosition and the Rome Exposi tion Internationale for their investiga tion, and in both instances they quickly awarded her Gold Medals thereon. The French Government also honored her with a patent on her new process, and patents are now pending before the U. S. Government at Washington. London Journals sent their Beauty Editresses to investigate her methods, and their high endorsements of her dis coveries made her famous almost over night, so that she was eagerly sought after by French Countesses and English Ladles of high title and rank. The Beauty Editress of the London Onlook er wrote, "An interview with Mile.

BRIAND KEPJGIFT WATCH Clever Scheme Enables Minister to Secure Good Timepiece PARIS, July 17. (Special.) An amusing little adventure happened the other dny to the French Minister of Justice, M. "Briand. He paid an official visit to a little town in the southeast of Francs which is famous for its clocks and watches. The minister opened the local exhibition, and after the speeches the local Mayor presented him with a mag nificent chronometer made in the town. "If Your Excellency will allow," he said, "we will keep the watch for a few days and regulate it." M. Briand, who, though a Socialist, has a sense of humor, comes from thA south of France himself, and knows that promises there are rot always kept. iHe knew, too, that a colleague had the same watch given to him last year, that it had been kept to be i emulated, and that it had not yet reached Paris. So M. Briand, Minister of Justice, shook M. le Msire warmly by the hand, toid him that he was a bit of a clock maker himself, and would enjoy putting1 the watch in order, and would think while he did so of the kindness of th town which had presented it to him. M. Briand has discovered that the watch is an excellent timekeeper. One-third of all th ton nape under h American flag is employed on the Great Iakes. Mrs. Mar.y J. Davis, of Kast St. Louis, III., says: "My wrinkles were verv deep and of long standing, so you rnn imagine my surprise when, after only two applications, they entirely disap peared." Mrs. L. K.

Consequently mv wrin kles were of long standing and I had not thought it possible to erase them, but now when I view my changed re flection in the mirror I can scarcely realize the transformation that has been wrought." Mrs. M. A. Edwards, of P.aleigli. N. C. says: "Since using the Treatment I look younger than 1 did twenty-five years ago." Mrs. M. L. Lee, 110 S. 4th Street.
