Half the slory of Christmas Is In
the fact that it la the day. of all dars
In the year when the members of
the family come together again under
the home roof. No matter how far they
may fly away at other times, nearly
everyone turns hack home for Chrl.it
rnas. And If one cannot be at homer on
Christmas day It Is a double-edged
catastrophe usually. He who is unable
to be back perhaps suffers the more
severely, but even If he chance to
be of a case-hardened Indifference to
ward the home call of Christmas, there
1 never any quetsion about the
thoughts of the "home folks" turning
often to him. and the hearts of the
home folks wishing; and wishlna; that
the absent one might be back, within
the circle just for the day.
There Is a family that will not be
united the- rominir Christmas hero in
I'ortland. The reason Is not a particu
larly romantic one.
The father is in Jail.
He has been in Jail, oft and on. the
larger part of the year.
Cbtldrea Have Loasrlna;.
Terhaps it Is a matter of Indifference
to him whether he spends his Christmas
with his children or behind the bars.
That is something he does not talk
about. He silently and sullenly takes
tht punishment that the law haa meted
ut to him. and if there be times when
he feels the stirrings of homesickness
about his heart, he keeps that to him
self. But his children; to them It means s
treat deal whether or not tbey will
have their father with them on Christ
mas day. There are five of the children,
three of them boys and the oldest one
only 1.1.
The boys were favorites In one of
the parties, of . the fresh air. children
that were sent out last Summer fine,
aturdy little chaps, chock full of the
hopefullness and energy of healthy
boyhood.
And all of the children know about
Christmas, and know that on that day
Eanta Claus Is supposed to go about
carrying to all the world gifts and good
cheer.
Meanwhile the father Is out of the
circle and the family funds are down
at so low an ebb that it would be al
most absurd to expect them to supply
mere necessities on Christmas day, to
say nothing of the extras that belong
to the season.
So it looks almost as though the five
little children are destined to waken
Christmas morning to find that all the
fables that cluster around that day
are for them nothing but a sorrowful
Irony.
Polls 'Would Flease Girls.
For such as these it is that the As
sociated Charities Is raising, with the
assistance or The Oregonlan. a Christ
mas relief fund, which shall bo used
not only to bring them Christmas cheer,
but shall help to lighten the burdens
of the poor families through the Wln-
' ter months following Christmas, and to
, help them get on their feet so that
they may perhaps be able to take care
of themselves when bummer comes.
The responses of The) Oregoutan's
campaign with the Associated Charities
have reached a total already of more
than $850. and will probably pass the
11000 mark ilonday. Those who are
interested in the relief fund are send
ing not only cash, however, but are
ending also supplies of clothing, gro
cerics and other necessaries that will
be dispensed during the Christmas
week by the Associated Charities.
Just by the way. there are between
100 and 200 little girls in the "family
that the relief fund Is to benefit, who
do not have dolls, and many of them
have never had a doll to play with,
except such a makeshift as they could
Improvise out of rags. And there are
so many beautiful dolls to be had, too!

' Show Much Promise.
The Fall exhibition of tho Society
of Oregon Artists, which is Just clos
ing, has teon the most successful ex
hibition since the j-ociety waa organ
ized. . The rotunda on the third floor
of the new Public Library has proved
a splendid place for an exhibit, the
dignified and spacious gallery allow
lnx off the pictures to advantage. Be
tween two and three hundred people a
day have viewed them, and the society
feels gratified at the Interest taken
by the public, and feels that It Is per
haps accomplishing something in Its
effort to stimulate a desire on ' the
part of the public to know .what, is I
being done by artists In this vicinity.
Henrietta M. Shore Is new to I'ort
land, and her largo can vases are an
acquisition. All are Interesting, but
especially vivacious and full of life
are "Heady for Play" and "At the Zoo."
"Atlantic Coast," by C. C. McKlm.
gives one a warm, pleasant feeling of
sunlight and happiness. In tits
"Yachata Rocks" he has caught that
misty sunlight so peculiar to the Ore
gon const, while In his third canvas.
"Yachats," there Is fine movement
and spirit: one feels that it Is some
what cold, and that there la not a
consistent light:
Boat PalatlsTga Exhibited.
Mary K. Webster's "Fishing Boats"
has a rare, lovely quality throughout,
and Is very pleasing. "Winter Dories"
is an Interesting painting of a boat,
though a trine tlcht.
Henry F. Wentxs "Glacial Water
Is a nicej harmony of blues and
greens. He also exhibits an Interest
ingly arranged still life.
Ellen Ravenscroft's "Snow Scene"
shows to fine advantage In the large
room. A still life of dahlias is full of
color, as are also her two Nehalem
things
C E. S. Wood's pictures always con
tain that fresh youthful spirit so es
rentlal to creative work. They never
lack Interest. A small opaque water
color hns much of this delightful qual
ity, as have also the group of pastels.
Of Edna Breyman's four small
sketches, "Snowy Landscape" has
very fine qualities of grays, and,
though not painted coldly, produces
the feeling of cold. "Between Show
ers" also has some charming qualities.
Her other two, "Woodland Study" and
"From Willamette Heights," are not
so happy.
Floyd Wilson's "Roping Contest,
Round-ITp" la full of animation and
vim. "Chinatown" Is beautiful in
color, as is also his "On the Beach."
"Nehalem" is not so good. It Is rather
muddy, and needs more simplicity.
In his "Circus Parade," Carl A,
Walters hss tried to catch the spirit
of the parade as It appears In the ex
citement of "preparation. Detail - Is
subordinate to . color- "In - the Big
Tent" would bo greatly .Improved if
the colors were richer and less muddy.
"Bathers" and "White Boats" are also
his.
Miss Aimee Spencer exhibits two
conventional flower still lives, and
Miss Jeanne Stewart two water-colors,
"Bit of Old Edinburgh" and "Oregon
Coast" George O'Brien has two
paintings of Tillamook Head and one
small, delicate beach scene in his
usual style.
Ptadeats Show Promise.
Among the things exhibited by stu
dents there Is much promising work,
very pleasant to encounter. Genevieve
Hallev. one of the younger exhibitors.
shows much promise. Ines Luce's
"Moon's Struggle," while muddy and
Immature, shows a certain amount of
feeling. Rockwell Carey's three
sketches are fresh and spon
taneous, and are a decided Improve
ment, O. V. Odell's two have fino qual
ities of color, and while not carried
very far. show a decidedly original
viewpoint. Conrad Pederaon la an
other who has originality In his out
