If you were marooned in a strange
city, dying alone from tuberculosis
and knew tliat. mother was waiting
and hoping that you might in some
way be able to come back to her, to
slay with her at least on the last
Christmas ly you are likely to see
n earth, wouldn't it bring a great
tliroh of. joy to your heart if a friend
came to you out of the crowd of
strangers and made it possible for
you to go back to the home where you
are awaited?
This Is one of the bits of helpfulness
that the Oliristmas relief fund which
is being raised by the Associated Char
ities is performing. On the cards of
tlie Associated Charities the name and
facts 'in the above case are set forth
briefly and the Charities will turn to
its relief fund to procure the means
with which to send the young man
back to his mother.
Reduced to the black' and white of
n card Index, among hundreds of other
cases like it and unlike it, it stands
merely as "Case, No. 19." but to the
sympathetic supporter of the Christ
mas relief work of the Associated
Charities, It reads instead:
Opportunity 10. Dying Boy Would Co
Rack Home.
"Alfred: age years; suffering from
tuberculosis; an only child: penniless,
i friendless, destitute; mother desires
him to come home to pass the few
days that remain to him with her and
In her care. Transportation to be
obtained If possible. In time to send
him home before Christmas."
Ololng further in the index flies of
cases that the Associated Charities is
accumulating from the appeals that
pour in, quite as rapidly as the dona
tions come from the generous people
of Portland, for the relief of the Bat-'
ferers. one comes upon:
Opportunity 20. Foreign Family Starv
ing, in Silence.
"Dear Mr. Secretary Please see what
you can do for the people that live at
, as they are in-need of your
assistance. They haven't a thing to
eat, and are unable to explain them
selves and are almost starving arid
have five little ones. The oldest is 8
years and the father has been out of
work. A FRIEND." .
Opportunity 21. Urnrrtrd Wife turn
for Cbildren.
A woman deserted by her husband is
having a desperate struggle to earn a
living for herself and her two little
girls, the eldest of which is only 12
years old. She picks up what day work
she is able to find, but it is scarce
and she is kept long away from her
little ones seeking for employment.
In desperation the has asked if it
would bo possible to place them in a
good home for a few months, where
she cap be sure that they' will be
kindly icared .foe. until she is able to
earn enough to care for them again.
She said that she would take any kind
i of work she was able to do, and asked
if a housekeeping place might be
found for her. The charities will make
an effort to arrange things so that the
little family may be kept together.
Opportunity 22 father Out of Work,
Family Hungry. '
Although an experienced cement
worker, the father has been unable to
find any employment for some months
and the family's savings have dwindled
away. They were trying to buy a
home when the work ended and un
less payment of the installments can be
made they will lose it. for the pay
ments are now far behind. There are
five children in the family, the eldest
13 and the youngest 3. and the family
Is in great need of assistance at this
time.
These are typical of the cases that
come under the Christmas relief fund
of the Associated Charities.
Responses to the appeal of the Char
ities for funds to carry on its relief
work, have been greater even than was
expected at the beginning of the cam
paign and yesterday the total cash do
nations passed the $700 mark.
The donations of money are only one
phase of the liberality with which
Portland people and people of neigh
boring cities are rssponding to the call.
Donations of clothing and food supplies
are corr.ing every day in increasing
quantities.
, tlitt of Blankets Acknowledged.
Among the gifts received yesterday
w-ks a donation of 12 blankets from
Adolph Jacobs, of the Oregon City
Woolen Mills.. All the blankets were
new and heavy and warm and will do
important work in the relief activities
of the Charities. C. A. Abry, of Hills
dale, sent in a donation of clothing be-
siae3 a gift of cash: the Portland
, Heights Club sent in food suorili es and
the Bell Auction Company sent in a
taoie, a mattress and a bed. The St.

were an important eddition to the gro

RELIEF NOT TEMPORARY
Associated Charities Lays Plans to
Carry Cheer to Discoaraged and
' Aid to Hopeless at Any.
Hour of Need.
Conservation of natural impulses of
philanthropy is the problem upon
which the Associated Charities is work
ing in its campaign . for a Chhistmas
relief fund this year.
This is not the first time the Char
ities has conducted such a campaign,
but it appears from "the support the
people of Portland and other cities of
Oregon are offering that it will be the
most successful.
Humanity is naturally philanthropic
and the impulse of charity is never
warmer or more compelling than just
in the happy rush of the Christmas
time. Few of the poor and needy of a
city suffer for food on Christmas day.
for there are thousands of good peo
ple all about who give and give most
liberally to such relief at such a time.
Relief to Be Given All Year.
The response of charity is frequent
ly greater than the immediate de
mand at such a time and much of the
relief may - be wasted practically un
less directed properly. But the Asso-
-eiatea cnarities believes that it is pos
sible to conserve this benevolent en
ergy so that its effects may be dis
tributed through the months of the
entire year, and relief may come to
the poor at a time when the need may
be desperate, but the public mind is
not so actively conscious of the need
of charity as it is In the Christmas
season.
Therefore the . Charities conducts its
campaign for a Christmas relief
fund in. the holiday season, when
everyone is keenly . conscious of the
needs of the poor and of the impulse
within his- own heart to give assist
ance. Every cent collected in the Christ
mas relief fund goes for relief work.
The Associated Charities furnishes its
administrative machinery to handle the
fund and se that its good effects go to
the place where they will be of most
use.
Two years ago the first great Christ
mas relief campaign of the- organ
ization was conducted,' resulting in do
nations of more than J2000. Through
out the cold months of the Winter
immediately following the holidays tljis
fund did enormous service in lighten
ing the burden of the poor and helped
many a discouraged man or woman to
struggle along until an opportunity to
help himself came.
Appeal Finds Ready Response.
Last year the Portland people re
sponded to the Christmas call with an
open-hearted zeal that set a model for
other cities of the United States. The
fund reached more than $3700 before
the end of the holiday season and post
holiday contributions swelled it to
more than $5000. No other city of equal
size equaled the work of this cam
paign, not only in tb amounts donated.
but in the number of destitute who
were relieved through its use.
The relief given takes forms innu
merable. It may range from a scuttle
ful of coal or a meal ticket, to expenses
of a term in the hospital or transpor
tation for a stranded man or woman
back to some town where there are
friends who will take care of him.
The fund, of course, covers the im
mediate service also of bringing
Christmas cheer into the homes of the
poor on Christmas day, but the larger
sphere of service Is the one to which
the attention is most strongly given.
Hungry and Cold Cheered.
. In addition to the cash donations this
year, donations of groceries and sup
plies of foodstuffs will be an impor
tant feature. The grocery department
of the Associated Charities at 411 Com
mercial block was opened only about
two weeks ago, but already hundreds
of contributions have been received.
Not only from grocers in Portland do
the gifts come, but there are also
scores of boxes of fruit and vegetables
sent in from other towns and from
farms in various parts of the state.
The grocery department is doing es
pecial service m relief work where the
need is immediate for something to eat
by the destitute charge that appeals to
the Charities. . j
The campaign wlii. be carried right
up to Christmas day and it is believed
that by that time such a fund will have
been gathered as will make it possible
fpr the Charities to do more effective
service than, ever before in carrying
the Christmas spirit or help and com
fort throughout all the year.

"H'm," said the clerk.

Satisfied, "Front!" called the clerk.

Fannie Harley, Creator of Trouser-Like "Harleys" for Women, Says She
Will Don Them After Present Supply of Skirts Is Worn Out.

BY LEONE CASS BAER.
JUST because I was curious to know
why Fannie Harley doesn't wear
her pet project, the "Harleys." or
trousers, on the street. ' and to find
out if she does wear them at home
I stepped in where an angel might
have looked twice before daring to
tread and asked her to come through
with, the truth. And this is what she
said:
" "I would most certainly -wear my
costumes on the street now- if . every
one knew me, but there is nothing to
be gained by appearing eccentric one
only becomes ridiculous. The time is
not yet ripe for me to appear on the
streets a la Harley, but it is not far
off.
"Oh." I do not expect everyone to
approve of my costume or agree with
my ideas at once. I wiU not want
to have anything so wishy-washy that
everyone would commend. If they
would, it would not be new nor worth
fighting for. People must be edu
cated to the appreciation of the beauty,
comfort and health which my costume
symbolizes, and the greatest recalci
trants will ba the men. But they will
bo educated, never fear."
Skirts Styled Immodest.
Besides which. Miss Harley never
allows herself to get into single-handed
arguments. She opines that the
average persons, under which classifi
cation so very many of us come, are
not broad minded enough to enter
into an argument. The average per
son always loses his temper or be
comes personal. Miss Harley reserves
her ide.s for the composite whole of
humanity. '
"No better ideas," she says, "nor
better language are needed to address
thousands than to argue with one
and it goes so much farther. I be
lieve in doing everything on a big
scale or not doing it at all."
Miss Harley believes that no woman
can be modest in skirts and that they
are a disgrace to feminine intelligence
and a badge of inferiority.
"My efforts in life have been along
the line of betterment of humanity,"
aid Miss Harley, but my greatest con
tribution is my costume. But don't
call me a reformer, please. I am not
I am simply trying to give the fruits
of my labors to the world that ,all
may profit by my efforts.
Dignity Counts, Not Clothes.
There is not a period in the history
of dress in which reformers have not
appeared, but always with vitupera
tion and invective attacking women's
characters, decrying women's morals.
Our clothes are not, and- never have
been, immoral, other than our morals
are our manners, conduct, habits and
since our manner of dressing is out
of keeping with the' 20th century,
woman's general habits'"and require
ments, the clothes must'. therefore bo
immoral A woman's chastity cannot
be affected by wearing freakish
clothes. A dignified woman graces any
kind of a garment, while any kind of
clothes can be vulgarised by vulgar
people.
"If these would-be reformers should
devote their efforts toward drawing
women's attention to the construction
of their bodies .and advocate comfort
able clothes Instead of attacking their
morals they would soon find them
selves surrounded by a host of fol
lowers. Comfort makes for health and
health for morals."
Miss Harley says that walking now
Is numbered among the lost arts for
women. She vigorously insists that
only one woman in S00 can sit down
properly, and that we wear the clothes
we do because our slogan is: "Give
us style or give ns death." She does
agree that there are exceptions, but
these, she says, are noble women,
who ere too busy doing noble deeds
in this world to start a crusade against
present dress and they do not want
to be conspicious by being out of
style. So, like the rest of us, these
exceptions fall in line when fashion
gives command.
Harleys Are Blfarcated.
The Harleys. which Miss Harley has
made, are bifurcated lower garments
and their wearer can let her artistic
senses run wild in decorations. The
plnk-chiffon-over-satin ones Miss Har
ley wore at her lecture bad shirrlngs
up the sides of the leg and strands
of pearls in groups- at the ankles.
A house dress of blue gingham had
tassels at the sides. A morning pair
of "Harleys" had a sassy rose on its
left knee. Over the "Harleys" is
worn an upper garment, fitted at the
shoulders falling gracefully and loose
ly to a point midway between the hips
and knees.
Of her creation Miss Harley speaks
with emphasis,
"I know this particular costume."
she said. "No one can tell me any
thing about it. I have spent years
perfecting it. I have sat not only
hours, but days, and weeks before a
model, arranging draperies, or plac
ing trimmings perfectly. One thing
that I have absolutely established is
that the beauty of this costume can be
made or marred by the length of the
upper, garment, and that each woman
must determine for herself. Mine could
not be a half Inch longer or a halt
inch shorter than I wear them with
out destroying my porportions."
I asked Miss Harley when she ex
pected to appear in these unusual and
flossy togs.
"I will never have another skirt
made for me," was her reply. "When
the skirts I have are worn out I will
have to be permitted to wear my
'Harleys.' Long ere then I expect to
have enough followers of my ideas
so that I can walk abroad in the land
without curtailing the usefulness of
my legs, for which I may add I have
always had the greatest respect."
But then, sisters, it's Just as I
pointed out to Fannie, wearing the
"Harleys" will be mostly a "matter of
form." figuratively speaking, for most
of us.
