It CO frer t 1 AWE f """V n , 1 g: rl Is also highly desirable that pictures be in color, especially for younger chil dren. We see so many brown prints that we almost forget that the originals are in color, and whenever good color reproductions can be obtained they are prefeioftle. Care should be taken that the brown prints are the best, for the cheaper reproductions fade. The exhibit shown in the Ainswortn, Kerns, Irvlngton. Shattuck and Chap? man buildings consisted of some SO pic tures, more than half in colors, loaned by several firms in the city, by some of the schools and by private individ uals. It included in color 15 Rhine prints, landscapes by Inness, McWhlr ter and Mauve and examples from Tur ner, Murlllo, Velasquez, Raphael. Mich ael Angelo, Thayer. Blair-Leighton and Jesse Wilcox Smith. Among the brown reproductions were those from works of Van Dyck. Israels, Whistler, Corot, Shreyer, Millet. Kuysdael and Peter Vischer. Talks upon the pictures were given to every class by a committee, followed up by work with the teacher, discus sion by the children and composition writing. The bright aspect of the room wltn flowers and pictures and the pleasant smile of the teacher will be remem bered after the lessons taught are for gotten. Children were very suscep tible to the best in art and would re spond quickly to the influence of the beautiful. The True, the Good and the Beauti ful form a trinity and therefore te lessons from pictures furnish not only an art study, but a strong moral uplift." i, ... . j The Coterie Club met weoncsu., e Hotel Benson.

A large number of women Interested in social service work have been as sisting in the relief of the local tin employment situation. They have given their time and energies to the cause of the sewing-room that is conducted on the fourth floor of, the Journal build ing under the auspices of the Citizens' Employment Committee. In the sewing-room employment has been given to a large number of deserving women who have large families dependent on them. The sewing machine agencies have been generous and have donated the use of machines and the public has responded well, considering the fact that so many appeals have been made. To keep these women at work a little longer more money is needed and do nations are asked. Cash or checks may be sent to Mrs. Henry Ladd Corbett, 253 West Park street. All money donated will be used in wages for needy women who are willing to work for an honest living and whose children must be sup ported. Mrs. Julius Louisson Is chairman of the employment committee. It1 has been suggested that some of the women of society or clubdom form "line dona tions." Retting nine other women to contribute 1 each and when the chain of $10 is complete it will be turned over to the employment committee. With the approach of warmer days many of the clubs will take lip the question of the "pesky fly." Last year we had a fly-swatting campaign in which all the social service workers, the health authorities, the parertt teacher organizations and others were interested. This year present indica tion shows that particular stress will be laid on preventing flies from multi plying and on having the best traps and means of catching him it ne does ap pear. There are a surprisingly large num ber of cases of poisoning of children from 1 to S years old from the use of arsenical fly poisons, lormerly blot ting paper soaked with arsenic was much used. A little piece of this was put in an open saucer with some water and a little sugar. More recently snai low boxes of tin with a wick through the top have come into use, but on ac count of the habit of children of put ting everything to their lips these seem to be as dangerous as the open saucer of poisoned water. The fact that sugar is added to draw the files makes tnese boxes especially dangerous to young cnildren. These fly poisons are often exposed on the window BUI because ntes are attracted to the light. Babies also are attracted by the light and the window sill being in reach is therefore the most dangerous place to expose poisonous fly destroyers of any kind. There are as efficient and more sani tary ways of catching or killing flies, and fly poisons if used . at all should not be tised in any home where there are children or where children may visit. Certainly in propagandas for health conservation, child betterment and edu cational movements this peril should be recognized and a warning be issue so that the coming Summer does not witness a repetition of these fatalities and accidents that are wholly prevent able. Arsenical fly destroying devices are as dangerous as the phosphorus match. They should be abolished. popoooooooooooo.opocjofwooopop obdobbo'o'ooodoooobb MEMBERS OF DANCING CLUB WHO WILL FRIDAY NIGHT- ENTERTAIN AGAIN f M:- J -f 'wf .!sV ' 1 V ' w' Ww" At the meeting of the Harrington Club Wednesday afternoon in the women's parlor of the Portland Toung Mens Christian Association, tho mem bers presented a programme composed of readings from classical literature.

This review of the piano playing at a San Francisco recital by Miss oiga Steeb, lately of this city, appears In a San Francisco newspaper, of recent date: "The latent power in uiga steep, the little pianist who played in Century Hall, occasions almost as much wonder as the strength that is obvious. Her stature is all that is email, for- her programme was a sample of pianlstlc Immensity. Her rendition was an event which will not be forgotten soon. Three years since Miss Steeb's former appear ance in San Francisco have brought b -to a point of wonderful maturity for one so young , in years.' still being in her early 20s, and her grasp of musical demands is no less than startling. "Miss Steeb: gave . a. splendid display of dynamic and interpretive intelli gence, wnicn was snown especially in the titanic majesty or tne Branma 'Sonata' In F. -minor.- Had it been less well played, the number would have been dreary, but Miss Steeb held attention as in a' vice and modestly received an applause that might have turned her head. Ail the knots of the Bach-Busoni were untied and laid out in a melodious array, and between these two prodigious numbers were delightful gems sucn as mozan s Pastorale Variee, the Paradies Toocata' In A, Salnt-Saens "Alcesto CaDrice.' each of which served to show the daintiness and true femin Inity of the player, for though she has a masterful stroke she is not a musical Sandow; her -virility suggests the masculine, but preserves the deli cacy of woman's fingers in the light- running trills, scales., and pianissimo tones." . . The following women of Laurelhurst have formed a musical club, the prin cipal aim of which will be the study of choral singing: Mesdames G. C. Eng lish. D. C. Bogart, A. H. McCurtaln, W. H.
