AT 510 Flanders street there is lo
cated a building- recently christ
ened "Anna Lewis Hall." It is a
home in which student and working
girls find all the comforts.
Anna Lewis Hall, conducted under
the auspices of the Portland Woman's
Union, has an atmosphere of friendll
nes. It is cosy and "homey' and the
girls who live there are like members
of one bis family in which love abid
eth. There is none of that feeling of
strangeness and loneliness of the bar
ren rooming place. Mrs. J. B. Crozier, the
superintendent, makes her girls feel
that the place is in reality theirs.
During the past year girls who have
gone away from Portland, those who
have married or who have secured po
sitions elsewhere, have written loving
letters to the superintendent and to
the board of managers, telling them
how happy they were while in the
Hall. Those who 1 ad lived In the pro
verbial hall bedrooms before they re
Bided at Anna Lewis Hall; those who
had found stuffy rooms and no com
fort elsewhere regretted that they
could not be back again in "the 3ear
old place."
For more than 25 years the Port
land Women's Union has been organ
ized and they' built their residence for
girls many years ago and planned to
begin the erection of a new building
this year, but on account of financial
conditions it was decided to wait and
so the old building was repainted and
renovated thoroughly within and with
out. Now it is attractive and comfort
able and everything is as fresh and
trim as heart could wish.
The hall was named for Mrs. P. J.
Mann, whose maiden name was Anna
Lewis. Mrs. Mann takes a great in
terest in the work and has been gen
erous in her gifts, but more than gift
of cash or property is appreciated her
interest and devotion to any good
cause and she is especially interested
in making girls happy.
Anna Lewis Hall is not a charity in
any sense of the word. All the girls
pay their way, but of course every
thing is so well managed that they get
their rooms and board at a remark
ably low rate and the comforts of a
home are all thrown in as extras.
Mrs. J. B. Comstock Is president of
the Portland Woman's Union and the
membership includes a number of
prominent women, all of whom are ac
tively interested in any enterprise that
Is for the welfare of the young girls
and women who work and whom they
regard as their young friends.

What Is Better Than a Beautiful Piano
or Player Piano?
If your home lacks the harmony of music, it lacks an essential feature
that will tend to lift up those you love to a higher plane in life.
In buying pianos, look beyond the instrument to the store behind it
your guarantee.
Pianos, if they are the right kind, are bought only once in a lifetime.
There is much in the selection of the right instrument, but it is of equal
importance to buy a piano from the right store. It is the dealer to whom
you look in event of any dissatisfaction that may arise. Eilers Music House
has attained the proud position of being the largest and most reliable'
musical instrument house in the West.

and this is really one money-saving opportunity that you cannot afford to
overlook.

under way for Miss Baker and Mr.
Gilbert to traverse the Loew circuit
in the new vehicle.
