floor of the cafeteria every noon hour.
They match silks, buy gowns and hats
and gloves. They eearch out all kinds
of difficult things like orchid silk and
party hata. If their purchases are not
satisfactory they take them back and
make another try. The entire shopping
service is free. It was through this
personal shopping; service that Mrs.
Terwiillger got the Idea of a big- sale
with costumes for street, office, vaca
tion and evening: wear. Mrs. Terwilli
ger clothes people in Shanghai, China,
in India. France and women in all parts
of America. She dresses dozens of
women whom ehe has never seen.
"Women are spending; more money
ana buying better clothes now than
they ever did," Mrs. Terwilliger said.
"Of course, I realize prices have gone
up and they have to pay more. But
they are dressing better. Some of my
business women customers who never
would pay more than $29 to $39 for a
suit now thing nothing- of spending
from iss to $76 on them."
Along with the shopping convenience
there is a manicurist at the cafeteria
every noon. She also will come back
after B o'clock for any who desire. And
there are shampoo parlors planned for
the near future. There are restroome
and dressing-rooms for girls who want
to stop In and rest between work and
dinner or to change their clothes be
fore going- to a party at night.
a proiessional mender is to be on
hand within a few days. She will have
her needle and thread ready to sew up
any sudden rip or tear. And ehe will

I Grand Army of the Republic, will -five
a "600" party Wednesday afternoon at
Baker halL corner of Killinsrsworth and
I Alblna. avenue. The public is invited.
"Mothers and Daughters dinner will
be given tomorrow evening at the Sol-
I diers and Sailors' club by Portland
business girls under the auspices of
the War Camp Community Service. Mrs.
I Norman Christie, girls" worker of the
Community Service, is in charge of the
dinner. She will be assisted by Mrs.
Jane Burns Albert and Mca. Adah L.
Rose.
Any business girl in Portland will be
welcomed at the dinner. Cards of ad
mission for the "daughters" may be
obtained from Mrs. Christie at the of
fices of the War Camp Community
Service on the fourth .floor of the
Northwestern bank building. Cards
of admission for the mothers will be
by general appearance only, Mrs.
Christie declares. Many of Portland's
business women do not have their
mothers with them and these will be
expected to bring some elderly woman
who is willing to play mother.
Mrs. B. C. Giltner, who served in a
hospital near the front Just out of
Paris, will tell of her experiences with
the Red Cross. Mrs. Albert will sing
and will lead the girls in community
singing.
Mrs. Christie hopes to havs 200 girls
and mothers at the dinner.
Work on the big pageant, which the
War Camp Community Service will
give in conjunction with the city park
board early in August in honor of Ore
gon service men, is steadily progress
ing. The pageant is being written by
Mrs. Christie and Mrs. Adah L. Rose,
and will portray the history of Oregon,
including tne state's part In the world
war. Miss Adele Waper has been ap
pointed in- charge of the special
dancers and already has engaged some
of the finest amateur and professional
dancers in the city.
A novel plan has been hit upon by
the War Camp Community Service to
aid in its programme for the absorb
ing back into the community of Oregon
service men. Many of the special en
tertainments given In honor of service
men are In the form of dances. This
automatically curtails from the hos
pitality some of the very persons
which the community would honor for
it has been found that rather a large
per ceh-t of service men are unable to
dance. Therefore dancing classes will
be established, it was recently an
nounced. Portland business girls will
act as partners. The Lincoln high
school auditorium will be used for the
classes, to be held each Monday even
ing.
The Tuesday night community sings
and dances for business girls at the
Soldiers and Sailors' club are con
tinuing under the supervision of .Mrs.

criticism of the work, according to Mar

Mae Murray is a busy' personage
these days. She has just completed the
stellar role ln Leonce Perret's special
production entitled "Greed," based on
Wilkie Collins' well-known novel, "The
Woman in White," and will begin work
on Monday under Mr. Perret's direction
again in "The A B C of Love." . This
is the novel title of the scenario, which
is an original one from Mr. Perret's
pen. These Perret productions are be
ing made at the Ideal studios in New
Jersey.
Upon completion of "The A B C of
Love" Miss Murray will move her
makeup box and wardrobe trunk to the
Famous Players-Lasky studios to star
in the screen version of "On With the
Dance," the Michael Morton play which
had a run at the Republic theater two
seasons ago. "On With the Dance"
marks Miss Murray's return to the F.
P.-L. banner, since she was one of the
company's stellar list for a term con
tract a couple of years ago.. George
Fitzmaurice will have charge of this
new production, which will be started
some time in August.
In its decision to maintain a stock

old days (for actor folk particularly)
of yesteryear. This means that in
stead of employing supporting players
for each picture, as has been the pol
icy with Goldwyn and is with the ma
jority of other producers today, the
Goldwyn company will have a perma

addition of visiting stars, will appear
in its productions.

On July 12, 1917, he shocked the

was accepted in skeleton form by one
of the leading theatrical producera
and will be one of the first productions

was the
unanimous choice of the Sinn ein
convention for president of the Sinn
Fein conference and was elected "pres
ident of the Irish republic" at a con
stituent assembly by a vote of 73 dele
gates, who, it is claimed by his fol
lowers, represented five-sixths of the
Irish population. For his part in the
plottings of last year De Valera was
arrested and sent to Lincoln prison in
England, from which he escaped sev
eral months ago.
Many stories of this remarkable es
cape have been told, but the follow
ing account is as good as any other
and seems to have gained the most
credence. It was first told in Paris by
one of De vaieras aamirers, aean
O'Cealligh. a Sinn Feiner leader. The
English government, it seems, had
been warned that De Valera had pow
erful friends and that he would make
every effort to escape. In consequence
while in jail he was under the strict
est watch, besides, as a further pre
caution, the prison was surrounded by
barbed wire and friends and relatives
were not allowed to visit him. Repub
lican members of the Irish parliment,
nothing daunted, however, appointed a
rescue committee. They communicated
with the captive by the ingenious plan
of having a Sinn Fein gardener get a
weeks ago, when an iron door of a
stone cell clanked behind him as he
was locked in an English jail.
Although on account of the circum
stances of his birth De Valera has a
right to claim United States citizen
ship and consequently admission to this
country at the same time, ln one of his
first speeches after he arrived in New
York he disclaimed this citizenship, as
serting that while he had never be
come a British citizen, that he was an
Irish citizen. i-
De Valera Is tall and thin. He lays
no claim to being an orator, but those
who heard him on his first appearance
here were deeply impressed with his
clearness of thought and sincerity. He
proclaimed that Ireland was taking her
place among the nations of the earth
and that the present republic was not
started by talkers, but by workers.
He declared that Ireland desired the
closest possible commercial and politi
cal ties with the United States and that
he came here to establish them and
then he compared Ireland's struggle to
the American fight for independence.
