Mother Attempts to Stop . Practice
by Offers or Money, but Lass
Says Habit Too Strong One
Ridicules "Hypocrites."
Estimates of the percentage of wom
en smokers in Portland vary from 1 to
to per cent, according to opinions gatS
ered from various sources, Including so
ciety folk, social workers, proprietors
of grills and others who might . be
termed authorities upon social conai
Mono.
Everyone interviewed begged that
her name be omitteo. In compliance
with these requests only numbers shall
designate the women whose verdicts
are given. No. ,1, a society leader who
knows everything pertaining to her set
said uaradoxically that she didn't
know a thins: about the question."
"I don't know how many smoke, but
am sure that some of the younger mar
ried set and some of the girls do," said
Society Matron No. 2. and added: "I do
not smoke, and never allow it in my
house. When one analyses the ques
tion, however, it seems that smoking an
occasional cigarette isn t half as baa
as drinking cocktails."
Smoking; Shocks Oae Woman.
A member of one of the most ex
clusive families, a matron with a debu
tant daughter was the third on the list.
She said that one of her rnenas
smokes, but that she did not approve
of the action and told her friend she
was ".shocked.
Matron No. 4 said that as far as she
Is concerned she can see no reason why
women should not be allowed to smoke
ir men do. "In the fashionable hotels
and grills of the East." she said. "I saw
ever so many women, apparently re
fined and lovely, and they seemed to
think nothing of smoking. It hasn't
reached here, that's all."
The fifth interview was a revelation
by one who is intimate with smart so
ciety. The young matron, who like the
rest would not be quoted, said: "Of
course, scores of the women use ciga
. rettes. They sneak off after dinner and
take a few puffs in the dressing-rooms.
They smoke in their own rooms. But
they rarely do it in .public.
Tobacco Outweighs Fortune.
"I know one young woman whose
mother offered her a check for several
thousands of dollars if she would stop
smoking, but she refused, saying that
the babit was so strong upon her that
to stop would be impossible. Her moth
er added other presents as inducements,
but to no avail. She is, however, an
exception. I don't think many of the
girls or married women have the habit
so badly es that. Many of the younger
women who have visited abroad learned
to smoke there and some of the girls
who have spent considerable time in
New York and other Eastern places
picked up smoking and now are author
ities on the various brands."
Interview No. 6 .was with a girl of
the ultra-smart set. "Yes, I smoke, of
course I do, but I'm not a hypocrite ,'
like many of the others. They smoke,
but if they hear someone coming they
throw the cigarette out of the window
or under the table and then they blush
and giggle and give themselves away,"
said the girl with the "courage of her
convictions." When asked how many
of her friends used tobacco she aald
"Probably half of them."
Matron Denies Habit.
No. 'I on the list vowed and declared
that she wouldn't rmoke for worlds and
that none of he. friends do and so It
eoes. . ,
A prominent social worker who
comes In touch with the unfortunate
women of the city said that she thought
women of the higher strata of society
as well as those of the lowest began
to smoke "just to be good fellows." Of
those in the best society she said many
who smoke do so because they haven't
any work to do and are looking for
pome new fad or excitement. The middle-class
girls are all so busy that they
have real work to do. real difficulties
to solve, and they can't afTord to take
up smoking. They are too sensible.
Che addel.
"The women of the underworld near
ly nil 4-ruoke. and it seems to me," said
the social worker, "that the society
women who inoke might be setting a
better example."
The hotel and grill men said that the
custom hasn't struck Portland yet and
that women here are rarely seen smok
ing. "1 can't see why they shouldn't,
though," said one

' ' by New England Club.
A meeting- of the New England So
ciety will be held Thursday night in
Dr. Shaw's studio in the Tilford build

They are: George C. Flanders, retired
business man. president: Dr. O. H.

O miss hearing Maggie Teyte
would be either a crime or
misfortune." This is the way
the San Francisco Examiner sums up
the impression created by the genius
and loveliness of this youngest of
operatic stars, when she appeared for
the first time before a ban rranclsco
audience last Sunday, on her way to
Portland, where she is booked for a
song recital Tuesday at the Heilig.
That she enchanted her audience is
shown by the lavish praise bestowed
upon her in Monday's dailies. The
San Francisco Chronicle says: "A great
spirit of song is in Maggie Teyte, the
youthful soprano who captured the
audience at the Columbia yesterday.
Coupled with her beautiful singing art
Is a distinction of personality and a
definlteness of individual charm which
renders her unique among all singers.
She has this quality of genius there
isn't anyone else quite like her.
"In voice she. is unique. In pro
gramme building she Is 'different.' In
the quaint charm brought to the artls
tlo songs of olden France and surpris
ing bigness brought to Beach's 'The
Years at the Spring.' she attoraa con
trasts of mood not often compassed by
concert singers.
"Perhaps one who has never heard
this pretty prima donna-may best ap
preciate what kind of a singer she is
from the suggestions she gave lortn
yesterday when, in one sons, she
seemed like a Mimi, in another like a
Cinderella, in another like Suzanne
who naughtily smokes but loves her
husband melodiously, and in another
soncr Pamina of 'The" Magic Flute," and
still another Kosina come to life. To
complete the catalogue of person? this
petite Proteus called to mino one nas
no difficulty in hearing In her art
Melisande's mourning . for her lost
crown.
"Next Sunday's programme promises
to reveal Miss Teyte in her most at
tractive songs those of Debussy, with
whose fragile or vagrant or elusive
moods Miss Teyte is reputed to be de
lightfully in sympathy."
Maggie Teyte's Portland recital will
be under, the management of Steers &

do their baking over a reflector.
Miss Groves says that there has been
no absentees since the class began.
At first, she said, their biscuits were
not as light as they might have been,
and the boys were rather gloomy. But
not one was .discouraged. They tried
until the biscuits were satisfactory, and
they were as happy as so many lambs
when they had achieved success.
So far the boys have taken only quick
breads, pies and cake. The cakes were
quite as successful as the pies, accord
ing to Miss Groves, who is delighted
with her class. She says she frequently
holds the boys up as models for the
girls to follow.
'While they are not quite as neat as
the girls," she said, "they make up for I
it in other ways. They never question
my judgment and they work like whirl
winds. I have one boy who has his
work done before I fairly have the in
structions out of my mouth."
After the bread course is finished the
boys will take tip meats, nsh, fowls,
vegetables, salads and desserts. They
are anxious to get at these things, and
do -their best each time so that they
will not have to take the lesson over.
The boys in the class are: Bruce
Schminky, C. Srube, Archie Roth, Paul
Patterson, Claude Houser, Clifford Whit-
tiker, J. J. Densen, Lawrence Lochly,
Irvin Reinke, Ward Cunningham,
Thomas McCreery, Bernard Montgom

OR speed they have any gin
beaten I ever saw In a kitchen,
said Miss Edna Groves. Instruc
tor in domestic science at Washington
High School, speaking of the recently
organized boys' class in camp cookery.
I cautiously ooked my head into the
laboratory yesterday morning and saw
18 big boys solemnly and industriously
making pies. It was an amusing sight
and I stilled a desire to laugh outright.
My amusement soon gave way to won
der, then to admiration as l saw inem
work. They were aa quick aa lightning
and as quiet aa mice. They asked no
questions. The Instructor told them
what to do and they did It. There was
no giggling, either. They went at that
cooking as if they had been born for
the work, and those pies wore far from
failures. The boys knew just how much
of each ingredient to use and they util
ized every scrap. The pie crust "leav
ings" were used for tarts. And proud
those boys were the most delighted be
ings I ever hope to see as they took
the pies from the stove and surveyed
them. They had reason to be proud.
There were no burned crusts, no spilled
juice. Every pie was fine.
The boya are now In their fourth
week. They are receiving as yet no
credit for their work, and they come
half an hour before school time each
morning to take the course. Many of
them, perhaps two-thirds of the class,
have confided to Miss Groves that they
have no sisters at home and that they
help their mothers with the cooking.
Others want It in order to know how
to cook In the open.
They are taking only the fundamental
things which pertain to cooking. They
are not bothered with details and care
nothing about food values. Calories
and grams are unknown to most of
them In connection with cooking. They
are anxious to learn how to cook and
they are learning.

class Into the open as soon as the
weather Is warm enough to teach them

Woman's Health
Requires Care
Women are so constituted as
to be peculiarly susceptible to
constipation, and their general
health depends in large measure
on careful regulation and correc
tion of this tendency. Their
delicate organisms rebel at the
violence of cathirtic and purga
tive remedies, which, while they
may afford temporary relief,
shock the system and seriously
disturb the functional organs. A
mild laxative is far preferable,
and. if properly compounded,
much more effective.
The combination of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin sold
In drug stores under the name of
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Is
ideal for women's use. A fre
trial bottle can be obtained by
writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell.
