They are daily taking- lessons from clever needlewomen in making: helmets, socks, mufflers, and various articles of apparel . for the American Bed Cross Society. Even the little school girls, many of whom are re markable for their cleverness in knit ting: sweaters and mufflers, are devot ing a part of their busy day to assist ing "mother" or "grandmother" in her work for the soldier lads. Bandages and surgical dressings are receiving a great deal of attention from adept women who long have devoted themselves to thia line of work. Women also are busily studying telegraphy, wireless, clerical and mechanical work and even farming as well as planning Informal functions as adieux to their husbands, fathers, brothers and other male relatives and friends who are on their way to camps. And the fact that the men of Port land are going into training for the next few months furnishes many per fectly good reasons why social affairs will partake of the atmosphere of ab solute informality. Dinner :ind dance partners will be exceptionally scarce May, as the marriage month, vies With the traditionally honored month cf June, and evening weddings which are considered not at all smart are growing more and more simple in Portland. The simplicity, however, is a welcome note, relieving the strain that the elaborate wedding suggests.

P." on invi tations to breakfast or reception, and this has caused some hostesses to profit by the experiences of others who have spent the day following the wedding in packing baskets of foods for the char ity organizations or writing letters of explanation to friends as to why the refreshments" gave out, and they now havei the invltntions plainly marked in English, "Kindly Respond." Portland will not have a long list of war brides, roost of the engaged cou ples preferring to postpone their wed dings until the. affairs of the country are more settled, and those who have not announced their engagements, will, in the majority of cases, refrain from doing so until some time later. Perhaps the largest benefit of the aeason was that given on Thursday night in the Heillg Theater by the Honor Guard Girls, which not only was a huge success, but served to make known how much cleverness and artis try abounds in the younger set of Port land, as well as the splendid manage rial ability of the women who carried the big affair through with such a pro fessional assurance. As customary, the benefit was surrounded with many din ner and supper parties, line and box parties. The biggest event of the entire week socially and financially, as well as from a standpoint of entertainment, was the vaudeville performance given by the National Girls' Honor Guard at the Hellig Theater on Thursday night. The boxes were filled with a representative assemblage of prominent men and women, some In gala attire. rr CsJ"&r-r others in simple street garb. Home made candy was sold by a bevy of pretty and alluring gills, headed by Miss Elizabeth Jones. Miss Mamie Helen Flynn, general chairman of the affairs, and Miss Jean Morrison worked hard and untiringly for the benefit, and they are largely responsible for making it the stupendous success it was. The committees were headed by prominent women, and they chose a corps of able assistants to sell the tickets, obtain advertising for their programmes, decorate the theater, and secure boxs and sell the candy. The net proceeds totaled $1800. The pro gramme was .a varied and interesting one and consisted of several numbers by well-known Portland men and women, some of whom never have per formed before: and several acts from the Orpheuin and. Pantages. . Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie, in a short address, ex pressed the gratitude of the Guard girls for all the assistance they received. Patrons for the evening were: Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie. Dr. and Mrs. A. E. Rockey, Mrs. J, D. Farrell, Mrs. Will iam D. Wheelwright. Mrs. Helen LadC Corbett, Mrs. J. Wesley Ladd, Mrs. T. B. Wilcox. Mrs. William MaeMaster. Mrs. W. G. SMITH & CO.

MsTsCsI IWMHIIMMIWmmHIIIIUUIIIIIIMHIHI ii 1 E I 4 v j i 3 i i i Keeping Business Going for Our Country's Sake! This is the patriotic slogan recently published in all the Eastern papers by the world-famous merchant, John Wanamaker. He appeals for sanity in American business during the early days of the war. He urges that we KEEP MONEY IN CIRCULATION! KEEP EM PLOYMENT FOR EVERYBODY! KEEP WAGES GOOD! KEEP ON MAKING MONEY, THAT WE MAY HAVE MONEY FOR WAR SACRIFICES! He says that the worst thing that could happen to the world these days would be business depression in our United States. This is indeed true, and for that reason we are coming to you at this time with this appeal: KEEP UP THE PROSPERITY OF THE NORTHWEST. -There are many ways in which this can be done, but by far the greatest of these is the spending of our money in the section in which it is made. Now we, as merchants of Portland, urge you to spend your money this year for the things you need as you would if conditions were different. It is imperative! -The business of this great Pacific Northwest can grow and remain healthful only when the people of this section buy and keep money in circulation the money put in circulation here will make money here. Let us, therefore, work for each other's interests we will keep our prices as low as possible with a legitimate profit we urge you to do your part. Let us increase our employes' salaries to meet the present conditions. Let us all advocate the KEEPING UP OF PROSPERITY OP THE NORTH WEST FOR. EACH OTHER'S SAKES.
