When is Portland to have a club
house for the women's clubs? For
years they have beer, talking about It
and meantime the various pieces of
property are being sold, and if they
keep on waiting the prices will be out
of all reach. Someone suggested that
the building might be placed on Mount
Tabor, overlooking the city, a position
similar to that of the Home Club, a
stately building in Oakland, Cal., sit
uated on a hill in East Oakland over
looking the city and San Francisco
Bay. The building has a fine audito
rium and is rented continually for
teas, receptions, balls and card parties.
Others have said the building should
be nearer the center of town, on the
WeBt Side. No matter where the
place is. It will not suit some at first,
but If one may judge by the history
of clubhouses In other cities, it is safe
to predict that the building would soon
become self-supporting and would pay
dividends.
The Woman's Co-operative League
and the Woman's Club have toth been
Interested in obtaining such a building.
At one time It was suggested that a
city federation build one, but the sug
gestion was not taken up heartily.
Now with the coming of the New Year
the subject Is again being discussed.
When will the thing become a reality?

N MAKING a huge spectacle like D.
W. Griffith's "Intolerance," which
opens a two weeks' engagement at
the Eleventh-street Playhouse on -New
Year's afternoon, there are many hazards.--
During the filming of the big
battle scenes on the walls of Babylon
and In the streets and palaces of that
great city It was necessary to have a
full corps of surgeons and nurses and
a large number of ambulances to look
after the injuries received by those
taking part in this mimic, but realistic,
warfare. A field hospital was also
erected near the scene of action.
When it is known that much of this
hand-to-hand fighting took place on

FW YORK, Dec. 30. (Special.)
The Christmas season in New
York this year was not exactly a
period of peace, but the "good will to
ward men" was never more in evidence
Each individual and all the organiza
tions appeared to be animated with the
same motive to give generously, and
to give where gifts were most needed.
The crew of the United States dread
nought Pennsylvania, now at the New
Navy-y.ard. gave a dinner on board
the ship to 160 poor children. After
the meal, there were gifts from Santa
Ciaus, and there surely never was a
happier crowd of children. The money
for the entire affair was raised by vol
untary subscription among the enlisted
men.
Each of the police headquarters
throughout the city became for the time
being a branch distributing station for
Santy. For weeks in advance the "po
lice force gave out circulars and
posters over their beat, explaining that
they would act as agents for anyone
desirous of making some poor child
happier for a day at least, by bringing
the gift and the child together. At
many of the stations, there was a
Christmas tree, and a Santa Claua.
The New York Lodge of Elks gave
gifts to 3000 of the poor children of
Manhattan, on Christmas day. Each
enild received a sweater, cap, stockings,
candy, fruit, nuts and either a doll or
a pair of skates. Besides this 500
baskets containing dinners were dis
tributed, and all the children were
taken to the "big show" at the Hippo
drome.
Plans were filed recently In the
Building Bureau of this city, for a
"Billy Sunday" tabernacle, to be erected
on a portion of the old American League
baseball field, at One Hundred' Sixty
eighth street and Broadway. The build
ing wfll be temporary, of frame con
struction, will have more than 20 en
trances and exits, and will accommo
date 20,000 people, being the largest
structure ever erected in New York
City for public meetings. The "Billy
Sunday campaign" there will begin on
the first Sunday In April, and continue
for three months.
The family of the late Cornelius N.
Bliss have Incorporated themselves Into
a company to be called "The Cornelius
N. Bliss Memorial Fund." with the
avowed object of "furthering secular
and religious education among all
classes, to care for the sick, aged and
disabled and to improve the physical.
mental and moral condition of hu
manity." It is understood that even
tually the entire estate, amounting to
about $5,000,000. will be devoted to this
object. Mr. Bliss widow, daughter, son
and daughter-in-law are the Incorpor
ators, and It is intended to commem
orate his memory.
The Junior League, which has be
come such an efficient social service'
organization here. Is run and regulated
on the most business-like principles.
There are now nearly 1000 active mem
bers. Each year a certain number of
the Winter's favored debutantes come
into the league as sustaining members.
These elect their own officers for their
division, and these work in unison with
the officers of the entire league, a sort
of "wheel within the wheel" arrange
ment that has been most successful.
This year there were 8 debutantes ad
mitted. Ice skating is gaining more and more
in popularity. Just lately a group,
mostly artists, formed a new skating
club, under the leadership of Walter

Frank Vincent du Monde. Howard
Chandler Christy, Commodore and Mrs.
J. Stuart Blackton. Miss Helen Russell,
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest D. Anderson.
The first publTc competitive match of
ice tennis took place at the Ice Skating
Palace on "Thursday night. beTore a
:arge gathering of tennis enthusiasts,
who voted the new game almost aa ex
citing as Ice hockey. The only game
permissible is the double, and In this
first contest Theodore Roosevelt Pell
and Frederick B. Alexander opposed
walls 300 feet high, on which scores
of chariots were driven madly through
the contending throngs, it is remark
able that only 67 persons were injured
and none of them serlouely. From the
tops of these walls hundreds of gallons
of liquid fire were poured on the be
siegers below. Hundreds of men were
in the Interiors of the siege toa-ers that
topped the battlements of the walls,
and which were afterward overthrown
with a crash. In all this fighting
every implement of war known to the
ancient world was brought into use.
