NEW BUILDING NEEDED Mrs. 3. B Comstock, President, Mates Encouraging Keport but Demand of Business Women for Home Taxes Space. The quarterly meeting of the Port land Women's Union last Monday was one of exceptional interest. The ad dress by William D. Wheelwright, the reports of the president, Mrs. J. B. Comstock, and of the other officers and committee chairmen all were encour aging. The members are looking to ward the day when they will be able to start building their new home for working girls. They now have the building at 510 FLanders street, which is a. real home for a large number of girls, but the great need of the new building is felt and will be supplied as soon as possible. . In their efforts to create the true home atmosphere and to give a com fortable and appropriate place of a-bode for girls who work for their own living, the women of the Po&tland Women's Union have found appreciation in the general public and especially among the girls who have resided in the home. Girls Appreciate Home. A letter expressing this appreciation and giving a. comprehensive idea of the reasons why the institution is a godsend to many young women was read at the last meeting. Letters from girls who have spent many months' ere and have gone to some other city to reside always are eloquent with praise and thanks, but this one is of particular interest. It comes from a bright young busi ness woman, and follows: As we near the Thanksgiving sea- on, it seems not amiss to try to ex press to you in some degree what the Portland Women's Union, means to me, and doubtless to many other young women who feel what they hesitate to express. After you have exhausted a prom ising sounding list of respectable omes, and have responded in person to numerous- answers to an advertise ment which has stated your modest wants, you sit down in a dejected heap to take a. mental Inventory or wnax you have found, -and what have you done? Dingy Carpets Give Chill. You have poked Innumerable bumpy mattresses: you have shivered at trie grayness of uninviting DianKets; you have surveyed dingy, once-upon-a-tlme much befiowered carpets; you have looked at rattly bowls and pitchers) and have discovered that the nearest bathroom is down two flights to the rear; you have surveyed yourself in a class that would rob a Venus of her rarest charm, and you have gone away with your nostrils filled with the odor of cauliflower or cabbage. To do justice to those who have Rooms to Rent' and 'Board and Rooms' must say that there are, sprinkled among the Impossible ones a cleanly pleasant looking home once In a while. In these homes there is an aDsoiute lack of knowledge of what spells "com fort' to the business woman. You are not a human factor; you are merely an Investment and. Incidentally, the land lady is trying to make you a paying one; you are just a chattel and you iei like one. Different Atmosphere Koand. When I dropped anchor at the Port land Women's Union I was met by a woman who was a far cry from a land lady." I felt a hand clasp of friendship; I looked into eyes that were not taking commercial note of my modest attire; was shown to a. room which, while plain and simple, did not compel me to tread over faded flowers of a shadowy past: I found an invitingly clean bath room within short range; i carried away with me no odor of cauliflower or cabbage. 'Here I found not only the plain ne cessities, but many of the comforts food intelligently selected and consis tent with the amount raid for it. No girl doubts but that she gets her money's worth. - She Is not expected to be a "paying investment." She works hard and she comes home to comfort. warmth, light and cheer; best of all, she finds a house-mother ready to hear any of her problems and help her solve them, if she cares to take them to her. She is a human factor; she ia not mere ly a 'boarder' or a roomer. The union is a godsend to the girl who is down and out and needs a home and it is double gold-lined godsend to the girl who is up and doing and wants home." LION SERVICE CLUB MEETS The regular monthly meeting of the Lion Service Club was held Thurs day evening, November 5, at the Lion Clothing Co. store. Very Interesting talks on courtesy were made by Mr. Rosenthal, Mr. Benton, Mr. Slade, Mr. Moore. Mr. Rankin and other members of the club. Mr. Herman, representing the House of Kuppenhelmer, made a short talk on the necessity for the fullest, co-op eration between the retail clothier and the manufacturer in order to give the consumer the benefit or the economie now employed by the great tailoring ooncerns of America. Many suggestions of ways to fur ther improve the service of salesmen to customers were given by the dlf f erent members of the club. A new de parture was the reading by Chairman Rankin of a few of the many letters daily received complimenting the serv ice given customers in the two Lion stores. After listening to a talk on adver tislng by Mr. Baum and a discussion of the Trading Stamp question in its relation to the Lion Stores the crUb adjourned until the regular meeting i December.

MRS. JOSEPHINE FOELLER AttV. AXi f AMILi, EUROPEAN TRIALS TOLD MRS. ISAM WHITE RETURNS AFTER EXCITING EXPERIENCES. wins Companion Under Suspicion Fre quently, Parisians Found In Panic and Sea Trip Terrifies. "America " is the best place in the world in time of peace," said Mrs. White, who returned recently from Eu rope, "but the Continent is wonderful and as soon as peace is declared we hall return. We hod a hard time get ting home, for everybody was panlc- tricken, even the officials, ine Amer icans who were in Switzerland when war was declared lost their heads en- irely and became dependent upon the foreigners for aid. All the ambassa- ors. officials and policemen were cour teous, but they were suspicious of Miss Nana, my traveling companion." Mrs. White and her companion. Miss Edith Nans, a pretty young Swiss woman, have been traveling abroad for a year andr a half. They had planned to remain in Switzerland an winter, but became frightened and left the country when war was declared. They went from Geneva to Paris, thence to England, arriving in London Septem ber 17. They embarked for America on the Adriatic, arriving in New York Septem ber 27. The ship was kept dark, and most of the passengers were ill from fright and exposure. There was a dense fog, and this, together with the blackness of the ship, added to the fright of the passengers. The vessel almost collided with another, sending those on board into spasms of terror. Mrs. White and Miss Nanz got first- class passage, but thero were many Americans who did not. Fabulous sums were paid for small favors, but there were cases when money was use- ess, for accommodations were not to be had. Except for Miss Nam's coolness many people would have suiered. There was one family of seven, who had no idea what to do," said Miss Nana. "They came to me, asking for advice and help. There were four chil dren and the nurse beside the parents. The father and mother were as much afraid as the children, and I did what I could to help and reassure them." Speaking of the condition of the cities. Miss Nanz said: 'London was only dimly lit and Paris was almost entirely without light. Everywhere shopkeepers in Paris were storing their goods in attics and flee ing to the south of France. They were intensely afraid of the Germans. Peo ple were afraid to venture into the streets after dark, on account of bombs. "We bad ordered some clothes in Paris before we went to Switzerland. On our way back we tried to get them. having paid half on them, but we could not. We had more baggage than were" were allowed to carry, but by paying the customs officials I got l by." Miss Nanz is enthusiastic about the WASHINGTON-STREET COP" 19 CORKT PLAVKR IN PORT LAND police: band. Photo by Davies. Patrolman H. II. Stark.
