SIGNS OF SPRING ARE SEEN IN THE
WINDOWS OF PORTLAND'S STORES
Fine Weather Lure Portland Women to Inspect Season ' Offerings in Millinery, While Man Views the Latest
Haberdashery Creations.
TIE other day. on Morrison street.
Just aa she was passing one ot
Portlands big oepartment stores,
a prtty young; matron suddenly stopped,
frantically grabbed her startled com
panion with both hands and gave a
little shriek of alarm.
-Quick, hold me tight, Marjorte." she
cried. "I am about to rush In and buy
a new Spring bonnet!"
That impulse is no unusual ona
among Portland women these beautiful
mornings, and it Is being struggled
with right valiantly by femininity la
general. Not a few have succumbed,
for here and there dainty affairs of
straw and flowers are making their ap
pearance at the matinees and on the
streets. Driven by the same Impulse,
one sees here and there a man slyly
contemplating the glories of gay dis
plays in neckwear, or looking Interest
edly upon festive suitings and haber
dashery. But -really. Isn't it a little too soon?
Ot course in sunny Caltfornla. where
the Spring season Is fairly launched,
hats of fur and velvet are being cast
aside generally for straw and lace and
flowers. But the first lark often alngs
In Portland long before the rains are
over, and she who dons her Spring hat
now would do well to cleave unto her
umbrella.
I'nless one's pocketbook be long and
not too lean. It Is well to remember
also that the earliest offerings In
Hp ring millinery are frequently of a
misleading trend as to style. It Is no
longer a trade secret that merchants
and milliners purposely put out dis
plays of only passing vogue for early
sales. In order that the purchaser win
have to buy again when the more per
manent-mode comes In. a few weeks
later.
And then, too, she who succumbs to
the Spring hat temptation thus early
taken the edge off her Easter morning
pleasure, even thouch she Is to have
another and rtyre beautiful "creation'
for the official day of Spring bios
snmtng forth.
Some of the millinery showings ar
sufficiently attractive to overcome the
sternest resolutions against early pur
chasing. One of the most charming new
tones is known as coral, but it Is more
vivid and pinker than the old coral
tone: many of the new straws are dyed
In this pretty color, and It figures
prominently In the small hats of
crushed straw. Bright colors and gay
combinations are to be used without re
serve, and this Is particularly true of
the early millinery. When the sun
nine becomes a little more ardent It
Is sad to contemplate what will happen
to the alluring pink of the coral straw
toque, and this question of fading is
one that will be taken Into considera
tion by the wise purchaser. If durabil
ity and economy are to be taken Into
account.
Already the new Spring suits are ap
pearing, along with the first tentative
hats of straw that are toned down
little by Wintry looking velvets. The
dignity and grace of the long-coated
ault la surely doomed. Instead of the
long lines, beloved for their own pec
uliar appeal, we are to have the short
Jaunty effects, which are very attractive
in their almost frisky way. They are
to be gay with details of decorative
trimmings In braid, also, and they can
not fall to Import a Juvenile atmos
phere to the most stately wearer.
The word has gone out from Paris
and the Eastern fashion centers that
the short coat Is to become even
sltorter. even running to eton and
bolero effects, the later coming again
Into rogue for dressy afternoon cos
tumes and evening frocks.
The leading models, however, show
the i or Is-lnch coat, and are In the
popular "knock-about" or "trotting"
styles. They are smartly tailored, and
some very attractive little blouses are
mown with them.
The blouse question Is full of in
terest Just now. and it is" predicted that
there are more Interesting develop
ments to come. The approaching sea
son will offer all manner of dainty
things In the semi-neglige styles of
waist and blouse. The present style,
with the body and sleeve cut In one
piece will be the key note for all the
mart plain and fancy blouse models,
and the finest of hand embroideries and
the most exquisite laces will figure In
the decorative points of these simple
little affairs.
Sleeves are to be worn short, the
elbow-length prevailing, and the low
cut round or square neck will be pop
ular. This means a continuation of
that very comfortable and attractive
accessory, the "Dutch" collar, and
stiffly-starched, up-standing collars
trill be little seen.

New Spring Models in Wash
Materials for Little Children
CHILDREN'S fashions all have an
especial charm when made up In
Spring materials, and this year a
look of unusual novelty Is added to this
bllthenesa. Color put on white la Im
mensely in vogue, bands, yokes and
cuffs In the most vivid hues showing
on snowy tittle frocks and aprons. This
color note with whit may take the
form of a very effective If simple em
broidery on a fine frock of mar
quisette, which texture washes like s
rag. and very often the needlework In
heavy blocks will contain half a dozen
rich colors. A. deep red. blue of the
most Intense sort, black, orange, ma
hogany and green are tints that ap
pear In this nsedlework. which, wheth
er hand or machine-made, is called
Bulgarian embroidery. Of course the
small frocks so trested need to be dry-
cleaned, aa the vivid trimming used
cannot be counted on to stand the
rigors of the washtub.
Nevertheless, msny a little lawn and
linen frock may show needlework In
one or three of these rich colors, and
If the garment comes from a first-
class place perhaps a shop that makes
a specialty of Juvenile wear It Is pret
ty likely to be warranted as washable.

show some of the lines of her mam

excuse for such annoyance as I was
subjected to In the simple process of

Here are a few "don'ta" for the worn-
an whose nerves are constantly on
edge, ehe of the "excitable" tempera
ment: Don't follow the crowd. Shun
bargain days. Don't read by strong
light. Never be too earnest. Dress not
too tight. Wear comfortable shoes. Eat
foods that agree with you. Shun tea
and coffee. Take an afternoon nap.
Systematize your housework. Don't try
to accomplish too much. Keep a mem

cheerfulness. Keep little correspond

A trained nurse gave to a mother
what she called her "five P"s" for
keeping children well. Here they are:
pure milk, pure air. plenty of sleep,
proper clothing and perfect cleanliness.
These few rules cover most of the
necessities in hygienic child rearing.
tlnctly for Summer wear showing these
last points.
Models for. the tinier children have
the babyish features suited to pudgy
Infantile figures, and with the dress
up wash frock it la pretty much the
rage to have the child look aa' much
like a French doll as possible. The
long bodice and skirt that is no more
than a tiny flounce with edge some
times falling short of the child's knees
still comprise the favored model, bnt
Instead of the distinct sleeve the
bodice portion of the smart garment is
rut in one with these details. In fact
It Is well-nigh impossible to escape the
kimono influence, and although It may
be run In the ground after awhile, ror
the moment It Is all powerful.
Among the accessories for little girls
are delightful aprons, which, since they
are skirt length, may be used on a hot
day in the house or country without
a frock. These graceful and Important
details may be of the plainest linens
or 'ginghams, but mothers who like the
neatness and coquetry of the apron
often turn out cunning little affairs of
dotted swIss with lace edges for wear
with quite fine frocks.
In the little models scattered over
the page may be found a series of use
ful and stylish designs for waah ma
terials, though ss to that there is no
reservation In point of material. Silk
could be used for the two gown on
the. older girls, and anything from
pongee to organdy over silk for the
.frock on the smaller child. But Spring
is tne ttme tor wasn textures, so let us
discuss them here.
Figure A gives a stunning Russlsn
blouse for a girl from i to 7, a hand

suggesting Itself as appropriate to he
tailored effect. If of white, the scal
loping and knots used might be In
some color, pale blue, yellow or white.
the belt and tne tie matching. The
little frock begins with an under body
to which is attached a abort plaited
skirt. The kimono blouse, belted Rus
sian style. Is in one. with the bodice
portion fitted with deep shoulder tucks
and the tall slashed at the side and
there plaited.
Linen in a pale coral pink; or robin's
egg blue would be charming for this
frock, though a stout suiting in a
handsome color might he almost as ef
fective. With a deep blue, or pink or
green chambray, white stitching in
several rows could be used effectively.
A one-piere frock of exceptional sim
plicity Is presented by Figure B, the
design permitting either a plaited or
gathered skirt, as the smartness or
practicality of the garment would de
mand. A plain chambray, bordered
with a check or stripe at the neck,
sleeves and waist, and with the skirt
gathered, would turn out the useful
thing that would stand any number
of scrubblngs without harm. Linen, a
good quality of lawn, or a fancy cot
ton with some body as percale
would be better for the plaited skirt
effect, and with these textures a stout
lace or Hamburg embroidery would be
suitable. Again, a bordered goods might
have the banding put about the neck
and sleeves, and in one or three rows
on the skirt, but it must be remem
bered that a trimmed skirt will make
a short, dumpy child still more un
graceful, such figures calling for the
plainest effects.
Here the little kimono bodice and
plaited skirt are sewed tightly to a
waistband In the usual one-piece way,
but for convenience with washing the
two details might be made separate
and button together under a wide
leather belt. . '
Figure C displays the tiny tot's get
up. the sort of Russian thing a smart
little girl of 3 would wear. On the
figure the dress Is of white mar
quisette, with a handsome banding of
dead white guipure, and the dress is
put over a pink silk slip and belted
with ptnk ribbon. But the rear view
of the dress shows how simply it can
he made, and if an every-day material
were used bias bands of the same
might be the decking. Fashioned of a
practical texture, with a leather belt
slipping through bands sewed to the
waist, the frock might oe tne rougn
est play garment, yet at the same time
the lines permit the utmost elegance
with fine materials.
A white pongee with an embroidered
band would be splendid for the design
this material and trimming permitting
unlimited scrubblngs and needing only
a change of accessories to be dressy or
practical, as the mother chooses.
Figures D and E give the little
aprons of the moment, and their cuts
allow homely morning textures or
smart afternoon, ones. The little lady
marked D wears the frock-apron that,
made in a stout brown linen or pretty
gingham, might be used without a
dress In very warm weather, but if the
little slip were of a dotted muslin or
lace-edged, cross-barred muslin It would
be a very useful addition to a mussed
little frock, should the occasion sua
denly arrive for a more presentable ap
pearance.
Then If made with ornamental in
tention it Is possible to insert a pretty
tucking between bands of other trim
ming, and so give the Dutch look here
obtained. As pictured, this apron Is
of a delft shade, with a plain blue
tucking and b'ue and white braid.
The "cook's apron" is the next style.
the rear bands fastening at the shoul
ders being an exact Imitation of some
of the spron cuts used by chefs. The
little quantity of goods needed for this
apron should recommend It to mothers
who like their children to present a
neat appearance at home and who can
not afford too many changes of frocks,
Then quite a gay and childish look can
be given the small garment with the
use of a colored cotton witn email
Mother Goose figures for the banding,
one such being employed in this case
on a brown linen.
Spring Remedies
for Children
A LINE! of small folk was drawn
up before the family doctor a sal
low fa.. i!ntfhA one. one that
uggested fever. The good man looked
at tongues, turned back eyelids, thumped
abdomens. Then he flung back his head
and roared:
'Dear lady, three doses of caator oil
will do the whole business." The mother
had talked of malaria, scarlet fever.
jaundice, almost all the Ills to which
flesh Is heir. And here was the simple
remedy for all her fears castor oil, the
good oil purgative that costs next to
nothing and that almost everybody needa

How many mothers call In the doctor
when a little good sense might stave
off his bleT bill and some simple laxative
or other serve the purpose of other and
more high-priced nostrums. The stom
ach Is the root of almost all child ail
ments of a mild order, and that uncom
fortable malady known as the "Spring
sickness" is) bound to result from its
abuse. Castor oil is not a pleasant dose,
but It may be made palatable, and it Is
the first thing necessary with a Juvenile
overthrow.
For children of five years and over a
tablespoonful, slack or brimming, as the
conditions suggest. Is generally given.
When prepared .with strained orange
Juice the dme Is not objectionable. Put
a little of the Juice made very cold In a
glass, pour the oil, also very cold, care
fully on top of it. and cover with more
juice. Then try and Instruct the child
how to take the dose In one or two swal
lows, for with sipping the castor oil
taste Is bound to manifest Itself.
If It Is Impossible to administer the
oil through the child's objection or the
delicacy of Its stomach, sulphur and mo
laws make another excellent and in
expensive home remedy for mild dis
tempers. Stir a teaspoonful of sulphur
powdered Into a cup of good molasses,
and give from a teaspoonful to a dessert
spoonful of this every night until the
bowels seem thoroughly cleared out. . If

perhaps a half teaspoonful or a smaller
quantity; but quite a week's course of
this dosing Is required for a good effect.
Citrate of magnesia makes a gentle
morning laxative, and the lemonade
taste of this appeals to children wno
would squirm and shriek with the more
unpalatable dose. But. of course, the
citrate does not do the proper scouring
needed in a bad case of Indigestion; it
Is only useful as a temporary relief from
tight bowels and the headache and fev-
erlshnees conseauent upon the condition
Half a bottle of the citrate Is enougn
for a child of six, and it should be taken
half an hour before breakfast. The cas
tor oil gripes less if three or five drops
of brandy are put In It, and if the stom
ach is empty when it Is taken it Is not
likely to nauseate the little patient.
Of all the things suggested here, castor
oil Is the best for the good clearing out
the Spring requires for children who
overload their stomachs during the win
ter and get "peaked" at this time, and
along with the boost to health the dosing
gives, this especial medicament is ad
vised by all persons of authority for
beauty purposes. There are women. In
fact, who make a point or taKing xne
oil once a month, claiming that It makes
the skin soft and fine, brightens the
eves and increases the growth of hair.
Next to this needed clearing out or tne
bowels In the Spring comes a change in
food, and if this change is made early
enough the purging may not be needed.
As soon as February has passed, ana
new vegetables begin to come In, all the
heavy Winter foods children may have
been eating should ba banished from the
table. Let the heads of the family just
stop and think for a moment how they
themselves crave tne new rresn iooas ac
this season crisp green salads, the deli
cate on'ons. tiny carrots, young aspara
gus, new spinach, the tender cabbage,
young rhubarb and so on. In Spring the
fibre of all these things is ten times more
digestible than at any other season, and
certain of the vegetables, nice spinacn.
onions and rhubarb, act directly upon
the blood. G've the child or 7 that
craves tne green picKie a sum sprig
shallot and a dab of salt and watch its
enjoyment of the unusual luxury.
All the new vegetables should be boiled
plainly, and served with drawn butter,
for cream sauces are invitations to more
Indigestion. Watercress and chicory
make the best Spring salads, these greens
being in perfection at this time, but con
diments should be simple a touch of
olive oil, a pinch of salt and a little
lemon Juice comprising the dressing.
When tomatoes begin to be plentiful, a
nourishing and beautifying luncheon may
be made with the fruit peeled, chilled
and dressed lightly with mayonnaise and
chormed parsley. Refreshments, food
and medicine are all contained In this
dish, the delicious new tomatoes acting
beneficially upon the liver and the oil
and egg feeding the little body.
Aa to rhubarb, there is no green stuff
more beneficial at this time, and as the
new sort Is entlrels without the bitter
taste of the old, it can be cooked in a
way to seem an actual preserve to the
young folks.
Freshen up the child's food in every
way, even in the matter of chops, roast
and fowl serve the dainty Spring lamb
when it Is possible, boiled or roasted
with mint sauce. Get a Spring chicken
occasionally Instead of the terrible old
Winter fowl and broil or fry it. Any
change is beneficial, for all the stomach
and health and looks need now 1s a
change which means lighten the quality
of every dish served.
Hot breads are not good at this time,
and pork should be banished from the
family menu until . Winter sets In again.
Another factor, all powerful in the Im
provement of a child's health at this
season Is plenty of outdoor exercise,
especially walks and romps that permit
a sight of growing things. Exercise and
fresh air are required for a good con
dition of the bowels, and if the little
outing Is taken where Nature is be
ginning to be brave with her buds and
leaves the child's Joy in the run is ten
fold greater. Then there is a curious
sympathy between health and the grati
fication of the eyes between, Jho eouli

and new buds, and unfolding leaves, and
patches .of young green grass. The di
vine earth seems to say to the young
people as to her rabbits and squirrels
and birds: "Let's have a good time."
Daintier and fresher food, a laxative
if needed, blue sky and the earth beneath
here are Spring medicines for child and
grownup.
So why send for the doctor when nine
times out of ten these things, and a lit
tle other good sense, will "do the busi
ness?"
KATHERIKE MORTON,
Apple Desserts for Children.
Steamed apples Any cooked apple dish
simply prepared makes a wholesome
and likeable dessert for the growing
child, and steaming the fruit is one ex
cellent way to prepare It. Peel and core
some good cooking apples, and place
them in an earthenware dish that will
exactly fit the top of the vessel that
is to hold the water. Have the water
boiling in the steamer, set the dish over
it, covering the top with a new jelly
cloth, and putting the steamer cover
over this. Fold the ends of the cloth
ud over the cover and steam the apples
until tender about 20 minutes. Take
the apples out. measure the juice In the
dish, and add to it the same quantity
of sugar; flavor the syrup with a Isttle
lemon Juice and cook until, thick. Then
put the apples in a fruit bowl, pour the

Serve with .cream.
If a little bundle Is made of the cores
and peel and these are steamed with
the apples they will have a more dell
clous taste. Tie thes trimmings with
a thread for convenience and discard
trie little bundle when the steaming is
over.
Apple float Make a nice apple but

to taste and flavored with the grated
rind of one lemon and cinnamon or nut

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
Should Never Be Removed With
Poisonous, Pasty Compounds
Because They Are Dan
gerous and Increase
the Growth. '
The preparations above referred to
are invariably in the form of creamy
pastes. These are easily recognized by
their pale grayish-greenish color. They
are to be spread upon the skin to re
main until they are dry. These con
tain Sulphide of Barium, an Insoluble
chemical, which cannot be dissolved,
therefore cannot be absorbed by the
skin. The very fact that you are told
to leave these pasty compounds on
the skin until they dry and cake and
then lift off with a knife is proof posi
tive that they are not absorbed. If
they are why do they still remain on
the skin? The most they can possibly
do is to remove the surface hair, which
in consequence will reappear stronger
and thicker after each removal.
There is only one logical and scien
tific way to remove hair and that Is by
means of a liquid containing soluble
ingredients which can be absorbed by
the skin. De Miracle, known all the
World over as the only real superflu
ous hair remover. Is Just such a prep
aration. It Is easily and quickly ab
sorbed and after you have used it you
will note there is nothing left on the
skin. It leaves the skin free from ir
ritation, and what is more to the point.
It is absolutely non-poisonous, there
fore it will not produce eczema or
blood poisoning. Remember, no mat
ter what claims are made to the con
trary, no poisonous, pasty compound
or so-called "liquid cure" ever did or
ever will destroy a single hair root,
and we can prove it.
The extravagant claims recently
made by unscrupulous manufacturers
of hair removers in sensational adver
tisements unquestionably justify physi
cians in cautioning the public against
the use of this class of depilatories.
How many people have been enticed
into using these dangerous prepara
tions with consequent Injury to them
selves cannot be estimated, but only
guessed at, therefore beware of fake
free advertisers and others, who by
wording of their advertisements, try to
give the impression that newspapers
and other reputable publications en
dorse their worthless preparations.
Don't be deceived by them. De Miracle
is the only preparation which is so en
dorsed. De Miracle is sold at all good
stores, including Lipman. Wolfe & Co.
No honest dealer will offer you a sub
stitute on which he makes more profit.
We will send you a 62-page booklet
containing full information concerning
this remarkable treatment, as well as
testimonials of prominent physicians
surgeons, dermatologists, medical Jour
nals and the principal magazines and
newspapers. Tou should read this
booklet before you try anything. Write
to the De Miracle Chemical Co., Dept.
L 2, 1905 Park Ave.. New York, simply
saying you want this booklet, and it
will be mailed, sealed, at once.
Note All readers of this paper who
are afflicted with superfluous hair
