CHARITY TO TAKE TIME OF MANY CLUBWOMEN Activities of Past Week Close Sessions for Year, Entertaining and Belief of Poor Attracting Attention. Shakespeare Study Club Has Session. , " " ' wx fa - v p yx. - y -r BY EDITH KNIGHT HOLMES. A NUMBER of Important club meetings were held during the week, but for the remainder of the year there will be but few among the women's clubs. Nearly all the clubwomen will be busy with home en tertaining and charitable work. The general meeting of the Portland Psychology Club Thursday, in the Hotel Muftnomah, the Coterie's meeting on Wednesday at the home of Mra E. E. Coovert, the regular session of the Daughters of the Confederacy in the Hotel Portland on Thursday were among the events of interest. The largest affair or tne week in club circles was the luncheon and analytical meeting enjoyed by the Portland Shakespeare Study Club and Its guests on Monday at- the Hotel Benson. The luncheon was served in the Crystal Room, covers being laid for more than 90. At the head table were the toastmistress, Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens: the president of the club. Mrs. Edward P. Preble; Mrs. Roy Peter son, dramatic chairman; the leader of the club, Mrs. Julia La Barre, and other officers of the club. Wyho. were guests of honor. During the luncheon Mrs. lone Town-send-Wells and Miss Nina Joy, accom panied by Miss Maud Gessner and Miss Clair Oakes, sang several delightful numbers. Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens was a charming and gracious toastmistress and her Introduction of the speakers was each time aptly done. Mrs. Ed ward P. Preble responded delightfully to the toast "To Our Guests," bidding all welcome in the namo of the club. "For Our Guests" was responded to by Mrs. Robert C. French, of the Woman's Club, and Mrs. Russell R. Dorr, of the Monday Musical Club. Mrs. Hacket re sponded to the toast ' "The American Business Women," and Mrs. Aristlne Felts to "Culture Acquired Through the Study of Literature." Mrs. Mable Par sons, professor of English at the State University, gave a most delightful ad dress on "Utilitarianism Plus Culture." After the luncheon the club and its guests adjourned to the rose parlor, where a spirited analytical review of the play of "Romeo and Juliet" was" held .under the leadership of Mrs. Le Barre. Papers covering the entire play, its construction, its character, its action and history were given by mem bers of the club.' After the review Colonel Robert Mil ler gave a short address on the "In fluence of Shakespeare." This ends the analytical study of "Romeo and Juliet." The dramatic department is preparing to put the play on for the members of the club and their guests on March 9 at Grace Memorial Parish Home. The cast has been well and carefully chosen and a 'great Interest Is being evinced in- the production. The Shakespeare Club will begin the study of "Hamlet" after the holidays. Great credit is due Mrs. Roy Peterson, chairman of the committee, and ner able assistant. Mra Alva Lee Stephens, for the brilliant success of this affair. A unanimous vote of thanks also was given to the hotel management for the beautiful decorations and the many courtesies which were shown to the club. . - At the general meeting of the Port land Psychology Club, In the assembly room of the Multnomah Hotel, on Thursday, Mrs. Florence Crawford spoke on the "Psychology of Bodily Expression." She. said: "Few as yet fully realize the Importance of bodily expression, and know that it is as pos sible and as necessary that we express beauty in form as it is for a lily bulb AT HEILIG THEATER. gftayg i, li iti f "XI w st . - . ' V i -i ii ii . i. ; - Hie " s 5 " to give forth its perfect bodily expres sion. We were sent forth into manifes tation to make visible to the world the perfect ideal conceived in our soul. Like sleepy growing boys, we have disliked to get out of bed in the morn ing the time of dawning light. "Snug and cozy we would keep our body covered up in bed but no one ever accomplishes anything in life un til he gets his body out of bed, for in this practical age It is required of every one that he shall not only think. but do. Just as a grub bound itself by its own act by winding yards ana yards of silk- about itself in the form of a cocoon and then fell asleep within it. so have we by sense Indul gence bound ourselves, and we, too, have fallen asleep. "But as the limitation of the cocoon caused the grub to long for freedom, so have our limitations caused us to desire a different form which would be less limited and as we have de sired, we have put forth effort, and as we put forth effort, we accomplish. The grub did not despise its body, nor condemn it, nor die and leave it- In stead. It changed its mind toward It. It visloned a butterfly body instead of a worm body, and as it changed its mind, its body followed its mind. No truer psychological phrase was ever uttered than' this: 'Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.' " . . The Psychology Circle. No. 7, has held its session for the last two weeks at the home of Mrs. Mary Benner, 207 East Fiftieth street, and Mrs. John Doupe, 598 East Fiftieth street North respectively. The meetings were well attended and instructive. Talks were given by Mrs. Fanny Perry on 'The Influence -of the Mind on the Body" and "Vibrations." The Delphian Delvers, a business girls' club recently organized at the home of one of the members, met Tues day night at the home of Miss Nellie Thompson. 1355 East Harrison street. Miss Selma Hoffman, president of the organization, conducted the meet ing, first giving an inspiring talk on the alms, of the club and her plans for the year. Miss Agnes Lawson. vice president, announced that the pro gramme committee had decided upon a course outlining the epochs of human progress as the first work to be taken up, using the Delphian course of read ing as the basis for study. Miss Thompson is secretary of the club. Meetings will be held n the first and third Tuesday of each month at the homes of the members.

Loughlin, Mrs. J. A. Jeffries. The next meeting of the club will be held with Mrs. T. H. Newstead, 608 East Fifty-sixth street North, on January 6. 'to Extracts from the address of Mrs. Mabel Holmes Parsons on "Utilitarian ism Plus Culture," given before the Shakespeare Club on Monday, follow: Time was when we did Indulge ourselves In the often mistaken though well-intentioned self-conscious effort to acquire cul ture as one puts on an embroidered garment, but I believe that now In America we are growing away from that fallacy. Culture Is very thin which Is worn as a garment or a cloak. I am reminded of a story told of Israel Zangwell when he visited Chicago a few years ago. He spoke before the Women's Club of Chicago and in the evening a re ception was given in his honor at the audi torium. attended by representatives from ail the Women's Clubs of the city and by has bands or escorts of the members. Suring the ceurse of the evening a lady, said to be very well-known, approached Mr. Zangwell and remarked: "Do you not think, Mr. Zang well, that Chicago rather leads in culture'" Mr. Zangwell made no reply and kept on talking to someone else. Again the lady BBked him: "Mr. Zangwell, don't yon think that Chicago rather leads in culture';" Again Mr. Zangwell apparently did not hear. Once more tho lady repeated her question and this time was very careful to be so close to Mr. Zangwell that he could not fall to bear: "Mr. Zangwell. 1 was Just asking you, don't you think that Chicago rather leads in culture?" Mr. Zangwell turned to her and said: "Madam, I heard you." A few years ago I had the pleasure or bearing Miss Jane Addams address an ex clusive Women s ust in tne -'ity or Chi cago. The fact that the club was exclusive made her words ail tne more crave ana fearless. She discussed "Culture." She said: Culture is not necessarily the possession or Drerogative of the privileged. There are many Italian women near the settlement wno are as truly cultured as any women I know. If, as I view it. real culture manifests itself in a certain Irradiating spirit of refinement which is more of the heart than of the head." In effect. Miss Addams teemed to ay: "Culture equals the whole of heart plus the whole of head expressed In action." Permit me from now on to reier to ef ficiency rather than to utllitaricinlsm, in relation' to culture. I have been greatly Interested in the discussion of efficiency in the "Independent" for November 30. The Introductory article was contributed by Ed ward Earl Purtnton, the well- known efficiency expert. Conspicuous In this article la the following defin ition: "Efficiency Is the power ot dotne one's most and best in the shortest time and easiest way to the satisfaction of all concerned." This may seem to mean much or little, but in the light ot the Questions which he later propounds and which constitute a -personal efficiency test, it seems to mean much. I am calling your attention to two auestions In that list: Question No. 2S asks. "Do you enjoy art, music literature and the presence of little children?" The striking word in this ques tion is the word "enjoy." In order to en Joy art. music, literature and the presence of little children, the individual must have retained his full capacity for feeling, for Imagining and for thinking. Question No. 29 asks: "Does your highest ambition in clude some real service to humanity?" My point Is that any Individual who can answer these auestions affirmatively and quite sin cerely is not responding to the test of ef ficiency any more than he Is to the test of culture. It was struck also by an opin ion offered by Judge Elbert li. Gary in the subsequent discussion. Judge Gary said: "The key to optimism is altruism. I have observed that the man who can never be dismayed by adverse business conditions is the one who has a higher and broaded mo tive for work than the mere piling up of riches. Ultimately, efficiency is based on a philosophy of life which considers first the claims, needs and deserts of the other fel low. The men of the greatest deeds are the men of the greatest faith, and the men of the greatest faith are the men who are falr." lf the ultimate aim of efficient men is to be fair. Is there then any distinction be tween their aim and the aim of cultured man? The College Equal Suffrage League has disbanded. At a meeting of the league held Thursday in the Medical building It was decided by a unanimous vote that hav ing served as a factor In the accom plishment of the object which called the organization Into being, that is, the enfranchisement of the women of Ore gon, that it Is the duty of this organ i- . zation and these enfranchised women to use the power of their ballot and make it the supreme aim of this ac quired power to further universal suf frage In the most logical and direct manner through the Federal amend ment. As the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage has established head quarters in Portland and is doing work for National suffrage it was decided that the funds of the league be turned over to the Congressional Union and that the College Equal Suffrage League of Oregon be dissolved as an organiza tion. One of the delightful affairs cf the week was the Coterie'B all-day meet ing, held in the home of Mrs. E. K. Coovert, on Wednesday. A collection was taken to provide immediate relief for a family in need. Comfort bags were made for the sailor boys in port. Mrs. E. B. Gaze told a delightful Christ mas story. Mrs. Coovert sang. Mrs. C. J. Allen gave a talk and read a poem. a a In her message to the clubwomen of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, Mrs. Percy V. Pennypacker, pres ident, says: As the time draws near for Legislatures to convene, let me make a plea for our states to attempt less and accomplish more in a legislative way. In Mississippi they have a central legislative committee, made up of one member from each of seven stale organizations of women. This committee investigates, eliminates, concentrates, and then goes directly after the most pressing need of the state. It is a great strength-giver to be able to begin your appeal for a bill by stating that you represent the seven allied state organ izations of women. If you want to Vnc-v more of this plan, write the etato pres"p.-. Mrs.- James Price. Magnolia, Miss., and rs. Henderson, president Woman's Club, Green wood. Miss. I must ask your careful attention to a vita: matter. Nearly every mail brings re quests for the General Federation to aid those suffering from the European war. Some organizations have telegraphed three times asking your president to serve on boards of control for raiding and adminis tering funds to relieve our Boroly afflicted brothers and sisters across the sea.
