CRITIC TO LECTURE
Emilie Frances Bauer Visits
Portland Incognito.
PRODIGIES' TALES AVOIDED
Series of Three Talks Will Be Given
at Hotel Portland Parlors for
the Benefit of Musical and
Literary Circles of City. .
"After a busy season in 'New . York
Emllle Frances Bauer, special corre
spondent of The Oregonian and musi
cal critic of the New York Evening Mall
and of the Chicago Musical Leader,
reached Portland about two weeks ago.
Miss Bauer traveled Incognito, as she
wanted to avoid hearing long tales -of
the prodigies. She needed rest more
than information.
Miss Bauer's presence has given rise
in the musical and literary circles to a
desire to hear several of the lectures
which she gave In New York, Boston
and San Francisco since last she was
here, and at the Instance of her friends,
especially Mrs. Warren E.--Thomas. a
series is now in course of arrangement
Three lectures will be given at the
Hotel . Portland parlors on dates to be
announced later.
Speaking of the hold that lectures
have taken In the East Miss Bauer said:
"Of course the business man does not
see the reason for such, arrangements,
but the morning Is a -very good time
for people to improve the mind, and
that little hour Just before the 1 o'clock
lunch Is practically lost anyway. In
New York at the Plaza my lectures
were not by any means boycotted by
men. Several ministers heard my lec
ture "on Walt Whitman and I was In
vited to speak from their pulpits on
the same subject."
In speaking of her lecture on "The
Psychology of Richard Strauss and His
Works," one of the lectures which will
be Included In the course here. Miss
Bauer said: "I gave -this lecture be
fore an audience which I knew to con
tain many friends. of the great com
poser. It was not always easy to ex
press myself truthfully, as Strauss Is
the moat difficult subject in allfof the
gigantic figures of the world. He Is
not the only genius whose personality
shows the weakness of man, while the
other side Is that of a Hercules."
Another lecture which will be given
Is the one on "Opera Writers Since
Wagner," to which has been added a
complete exposition of the American as
composer of opera as shown In Victor
Herbert's "Natoma," Horatio Parker's
"Mona" and other writers whose works
have not yet gained the public ear. -

Female Tortsorial Artist Calls Bluff of Journalist After Bartering Him for

BY ADDISON BENNETT.
WALKING down the boulevard I
spied a sign. "Lady Barbers."
and I fell for it. When I - en
tered the so-called parlors I spied five
young ladles not too young, not
young enough to be kittenish, but by
no means aged. . At least they didn't
look It
I picked out the moBt likely-looking
one and sat down In her chair, and to
the accustomed " query of haircut or
shave, I told her to go as far as she
liked and- she went to the extent of a
dollar sixty-five. I was shaved and hair
cut and massaged and toweled and ban
daged and boiled and blistered all lor
a dollar sixty-five.
During the course of the. engagement
I led the fair one Into conversation.
though to tell the . truth It would be
nearer the mark to say she led me, for
like all the lady barbers I ever en
countered she had the gift of gab well
developed. But anyhow, as the poet
says. In the course of the talkfest I
asked her to go out to The uaks wun
me and she fell flbr It.

Lady Likes "Hot Dog.
However, I am forgetting that I was
hooked up to the lady barber. I may
have forgotten it, but itie never did.
She wanted a hot dog; I invested and
she masticated. She wanted gum;
bought. She wanted to know if there
were any liquid refreshments for sale
on' the grounds I literally turned her
eyes from the restaurant toward the
carousel or merry-go-round. Just as
you choose to call It. I rode a goat.
she rode a Hon' or a tiger or something
of that kind, and the other two dozen
equestrians laughed at us while the
orchestra played Annie Laurie.
Over , the scenic railway, called the
blue streak, and well named, too, for
it sure carries a fellow likewise a
lady barber around like a streak. She
wanted to stand up in the car; I urged
her to. I noticed that the rules forbade
It, so I thought it must be dangerous,
but she continued to sit and grabbed
both arms around my neck and faint
ed. '
Sny, if you want to forget that note
you owe. If you want to disremember
that board bill. Just tackle tne blue
streak. Cares and troubles and worries
will disappear provided, always pro
vlded. you have no lady barber hang-
In a- around your neck.
I took her in where the mirrors made
her look something like herself, - now
dumpy and stout, now tali and angular
and I laughed at hen That was a mis
take, an error of judgment; but how
could any fellow see a girl so contorted
without laughlngT You couldn't, as
witness the dozens of others who were
in there splitting their sides.
- Lady Takes Strangle Bold.
We took In the automatic baseball
game, then I bought a bag of peanuts
and a nickel's worth of popped corn,
then another dog then we took a ride
in a tub, called a tickler. I thought I
would lose her there, for sure I thought
I had lost her, for she screamed with
laughter, bumped her head against my
nose, lost her hat then went into
paroxysms somewhat resembling hys
terics then wewent through the old
milirace which "came mighty near fin
ishing me. for it is dark In the -milirace.
wet and dark. And there are such things
as strangle holds. Not that I mention
anything unladylike, but I do aver that
the scare that sne was inr.own into
when she grabbed me around the neck
and nearly choked me was not alto
gether and entirely genuine.
But let the old, mill pass, and here, we,

are looking at the kids on the joy
wheel. Did you ever see the youngsters
on the joy wheel? Well, it Is worth the
price of a trip to The" Oaks Just to see
them climbing on and getting thrown
off. And. by gum, the lady barber
tackled it. Just to see how young she
was, and is.

"Hot Dogrs" In Demand.
Then I purchased another hot dog for
the lady, then we took in the3ail and
Joyland and a dozen or so other shows
then went over the Panama Canal, lit
erally we went over It inch by inch
from ocean to ocean and back again.
It's wort'n uny man's dollar Just to see
what the canal Is, and by studying this
150-foot model you will know as much
about it as if you bad actually visited
Panama.
Then we saw In the bandstand an
educated horse doing mathematical
stunts. That horse Is wiser than lots
of men. He can add. subtract, multiply
and divide at least I suppose he can.
He is sure a wonder, worth going miles
to see, and here Mr. Cordrsv shows him
MAY BECOME A NATION
OF BEARDED WOMEN
If You Value Your Face, Beware of So-Callco
' Hair Removers.
They Cause a Soft Fuzz to Come Back a Stiff,
Bristly Beard.
. It is the opinion of eminent authori
ties that if women continue to remove
superfluous hair with worthless, poi
sonous depilatories. It will' be only a
question of time before we will have
a nation of bearded women, because
even when a downy growth Is removed
by these compounds and concoctions. It
Is sure to grow out again coarser and
heavier after each removal and eventu
ally It will become a stiff, bristly beard.
Then it will be necessary to resort to
the use of the razor, because no prepa
ration will be strong enough to remove
It without ruining the skin.
It can be safely said that eczema
will most likely become a national dis
ease if women-continue to use so-called
depilatories. Nothing has done more
to produce serious skin troubles and
eczema than the use of these prepara
tions. While the harm caused by them
is not always noticeable with the first
few applications, tne real Injury plainly
manifests Itself after frequent and con
tinued use.
For years we have been cautioning
women against the use of poisonous
pastes, powders, fake "beauty artlole
recipes" and so-called liquid "cures,1
but it seems that some are always will
ing to be humbugged, because as soon
as one fakir has gotten all he can out
of confiding women, another takes bis
place, and so it will continue as long
as women will permit themselves to be
victims of such Impostors.
If you don't mind taking the risk of
disfigurement, why pay 25 cents to one
dollar or more for such worthless prep
arations, when you can procure from
any drug store for five or ten cents a
sufficient quantity of the ingredients
to last a year.
It must be borne in mind that after
the growth of hair is stimulated by the
use of so-called depilatories, it will ne
cessitate a much longer ami more per
sistent treatment with DeMlracle than
it would have otherwise required.
Therefore, isn't it safer to stop experi
menting and use ' the world-famous
DeMlracle, which is acknowledged by
eminent authorities everywhere as the
standard depilatory the one perfected,
non-poisonous, safe and harmless pre
paration that dissolves hair, thereby
taking the vitality out of It, conse
quently retarding and preventing an
Increased growth. .
The best and most convincing proof
that DeMlracle is the only absolutely
reliable and trustworthy halr-remover

"It's a Bear" or Sure. "'
We' fed the monkeys, shooted , the
chutes, saw Punch and Judy, heard the
band play then went to see the bear
roller-skate. I supposed that story
about a real bear really skating was
akin to the stories circulated about my
skates. But I'm blessed If that bear
can't skate as well as many people, bet
ter than many. I got the lady barber to
put a pair of skates on and she hooked
up with the bear and they did a waits

waltz and another. And after It was
over the lady barber confided to me
that Lady Genevieve is the best waltz
