Just a brief business meeting. The work
for the winter came up for discussion
and while no definite plans were made
then, all sorts of Interesting suggestions
were given, and deferred for final settle
ment on the first Tuesday In December.
The one Idea always before the members
Is to study the early history of Oregon
and gather as many relics and incidents
of that time as they possibly can. Last
year each, daughter looked up her own
,amlly history, and JJ, was surprising how
many really valuable bits of information
were gathered In that way. Of course,
after the business meeting. Mrs. Drake
served some Oregon dainties to her
guests.

The concerts given at the Seamen's

the sailors sing. Even wtaes most quiet
their enthusiasm and enjoyment contrib

work of the performers. Mrs. Wigham
wisely chose bright Scotch ballads' and
well known songs for her vocal numbers,
and her Instrumental selections, while
from the best composers, were bright and
catchy, too. Those who assisted Mrs. Wig

Friday wa Oregon history day at the
Woman's Club, Mrs. Robert Miller of
Oregon City being In charge of the day.
Opening the program, Mrs. Miller said
that today began what site hoped would
be a series of Oregon history days. Rach
one dealing with various phases of Ore
gon history. Today we would start with
the very foundation thn geology of the
country. Before the address Mrs. Miller
(rave a "Glimpse of Oregon Literature,"
and after paying a glowing tribute to the
Oregon writers, whom she said were
greater, both in numbers and ability In
this one country than the New England
colonies had developed fn Us first f.Vl
years, she read three familiar poems.
"The Willamette." by Sum Simpson;
"The Man With the Hoe," by Ed Mark
ham, who was born In Oregon City, and
a little gem from the pen of Eva Emery
Dye, "When Oregon Rains are Raining."
Several musical numbers were then given
by Mrs. Fell, Miss Converse and Mrs.
Boss. Mrs. McCamack, who- is k daugh
ter of Prof. Condon of Kugene, then gave
a delightfully entertaining and Interest
ing address on the very early geology of
Oregon. Mrs. McCarnack Is a master
of the subject and gave dry facts In such
a charming way the club could but won

tions were asked, calling forth the most
lucid answers from Mrs. McCarnack. AJ

REFORM CONVENTION.
It Is a rare occasion when work and
pleasure can be made to so completely
Interlace as was the case In the "Reform
Convention," which closed Mrs. Bethel's
parliamentary drills last Saturday even
ing In Portland. The course, as laid out
by Mrs. Bethel, begins with the very
rudiment of parliamentary law, even to
the definition and derivation of .the word
Itself, and work up from the simplest
forms to fin and complicated points.
One lesson of the course is almost wholly
devoted to simple, everyday questions of
civil government which Is so closely re
lated to parliamentary usage In the mat
ter of voting, conducting elections, etc.,
that to obtain a knowledge of the one Is
to know the other. It shows wonderful
.skill as a teacher unusual powers of
transmitting her knowledge, and pro
nounced ability and mastery .of her sub
jectthat In one week a class would be
so well trained that a convention could
lc given at its close, so creditable to all
who took part and so free from compli
cations and blunders, for the convention
Itself was but the closing lesson the cli
max of the week's work, so arranged as
to bring In and combine in th one les
son all thefcetures of -the five previous
days. This was the work, but robbed of
every, vestige of labor, by the different
members of the class who masqueraded
as well-known reformer of the day. Dr.

lesser parts were equally well sustained,
and the drill throughout was valuable as

PRACTICAL CIA' B WORK.
Among the many things accomplished
by tho cltib women of Tannessee are the
following: They have succeeded In open
ing the doors of the. State University to
women students; they have had ft child
labor law passed; they have 55 traveling
libraries In circulation, and have estab
lished seven permanent ones In that
many small towns; but what they pride
themselves upon, most of all, Is that they
have established a. "wash mry" amTMig
the mountain women of Tennessee, a
wash tub, up to the advent of the club
woman, being a luxury unheard of.
Many social settlements have been es
tablished In the mountain districts, where
women are taught to cook nnd sew.
While It Is little known and less be
lieved. Oregon has "mountain dlstrlctf,"
Inhabited by ns grossly Ignorant and un

Importations of the century. all are at
too great distance-for club philanthropy
to reach them at present. Mountain
women of Tennessee are the product of
ages, and have always been close by their
more fortunate sisters, but It took the
broadening Influence of the Woman's
riuh to waken the Interest of the South
ern women, and when they went to their
iicdmoiit houses for the summer they
began inquiring who and what their
mountain neighbors were. Perhaps the
same Influence may cover distance and
mnv we say indifference In Oregon, and
ere long some of these noble deeds "may
be writ" for the glory of Oregon club
women.

THE STRAIN ON THE EYE.
There Is no reason why a muscle or
muscles of the eye should not fag out
Just as the muscles eisewhere do. Let
one bear a weight all day long, does he
not attribute his consequent headache
to the heavy burden he has borne? It
seems without elaborate thinking we
could conceive of the results following
upon prolonged use of the eye. Nature
has done all she could to protect and
prolong the usefulness of the eye,
No earthly, architect ever yet planned
a structure that would not yield, crum
ble and fall, and the house human, so
exquisitely uplifted In curious and
mysterious ways, falls and returns to
dust more rapidly and surely than need
be, for the reason that we do not real
ise how much one pert Is sustained or
overthrown by another. One tiny mus
cle is potent enough to disturb the
whole economy, especially if Intercur
rent diseases exist in addition to "eye

BY MISS MANHATTAN.
Before the regularly established season
of gayeties sets in there always comes a
matrimonial epidemic. Twice a year
prospective brides absorb the entire at
tention of everyone, while friends, rela
tives and shopkeepers are racking their
brains to think of something novel and
pretty which will add a note of originality
to the conventional wedding ceremony.
The field, however, is extremely limited.
Certain lines must be observed, gowns
must be according to prevailing modes
unless fancy dress is adopted, so really
there Is only one feature which offers the
slightest opportunity for the display of
origlnadty. In the realm of nature's blos
soms fancy may run riot, and tbe pret
tiest kind of effects are possible, which,
besides being unique, possess a touch
of the bride's personality.
The blide who has a favorite flower,
especially If It is one with which she
has been associated during her social
career, finds a comparatively easy path
before her. All she has to do Is to de
side upon the style of decorations, in
cluding the bouquets of the bridal party.
The leas fortunate young woiraa .. iu
must choose some one flower, or perhaps
a combination of two, will stand In con
fused hesitancy before the varied and
costly array offered at this particular
season of the year.
THE BRIDESMAIDS' BOUQUETS.
Important as the bride's bouquet Is,
those of her maids are really more in
evidence and naturally require consider
able attention to their selection.
Conventionality demands certain things
in regard to the bridal bouquet, but with
those other attendants there Is an ex
cellent opportunity for the use of the
picturesque note. This Is always a. pretty
feature at a wedding, and it comes as a
dainty and delicate tid-blt among a feast
of substantial viands.
Bridesmaids' costumes usuarily express
whatever there Is of the picturesque, and
the floral accessories follow the same
lines.
For instance, there are quaint costumes
of either the Louis Qumze or Louis Seize
periods, Marie Antoinette effects showing
pcirhaps the elaborately arranged and
powdered coiffure and rich brocade typi
cal of the French Queen's time, or the
more unconventional and far more pictur
esque costume of the charming Watteau
shepherdess. Flowers carried by the
bridesmaids gowned In any of these
fashions may be arranged in pretty bas
kets, In wreaths, on glided crooks, or
wrought Into fanciful -head-dresses.
Occasionally bridesmaids wore filmy
chiffon veils caught at each side of the
face with clusters of flowers, .chrysanthe
mums If an oriental effect is desired or
daisies, roses and gardenias. Pearls are
freouently . Introduced in this style of
decoration, ln.wbiclL.ease. .Uie .flowers al
ways indispensable at a wedding; are
carried.
Bonnets of tiny pink June roses are as
pretty as anything seen, but such affairs
should, be, worn only by those to whom
they are- really becoming. While sum
mery effects are permissible, and leghorn
or chiffon hats may be chosen for the
attendants. It Is considered much better
taste to select thoroughly seasonable de
tails. The same fashion which made head
coverings of this variety a pretty feature
for a wedding party, has brought into
vogue the modish beaver hat. Its broad
rim of shaggy white offers an excellent
background for the display of certain
kinds of blossoms. The flowers may be
arranged in wreaths with long trailing
ends. Pink is especially pretty in combi
nation with the pure white, while deep
f purple and red are most unusual.
A long gilded crooK designed to oe car
ried by a quaint little shepherdess, is tied
with a huge bunch of white roses, show
ing streamer and broad loops of satin rib

provided with gilded knobs, are laced

A SAD STORY.
(Sketches and Tales of Shetland.)
Fowling is now very little practiced
in the Shetland Islands, although many
eggs are secured annually. Many thril
ling stories of fowling adventure are
told by the Shetlamlers. A man who
had . undertaken to climb a certain
steep cliff was neither very experi
enced nor ery brave, although he
boasted of being both. He pushed up
ward',' however, "briskly without took
lng behind -until he had got up about
150' feet, when he stopped to breathe.
The pause was fatal to his self-possession,
and i he called out In tones of ter
ror: "Men, men. I am going I am go
ing!" But he still held on for a little,
and It was not till he had shrieked
many times "I am going" that he did
fall, headlong.
His comrades, having thus been
warned, moved the boat out of the way
so that the poor fellow oame sheer
down Into the deep water. Mighty was
the plunge, but at length he rose to the
surface, when, of course, he was In
stantly caught hold of and dragged Into
the hdat After many gasps and much
spluttering of sea water from his
mouth, hi only remark was: "Eh, men;
this Is a sad" story. I- have lost my
snuffbox." -

conventional bouquet Muffs are certainly
seasonable, and whether they are made
all of flowers or of ermine, squirrel, or
mule, iinea ana trimmed wltn natural
blooms, they are e harm lng and unique
as a substitute for the round bouquet of
the bridesmaid. To accompany these
pretty muffs the florist have originated
stoles and tippets, which, are to be worn
exactly In the same manner aa the orig
inal ones of lohg fur. Instead of standing;
up about the throat, these novel acces
sories produce a flat and broad effect and
reach far out over the shoulders. These
odd confections are only appropriate with
street costumes, which, of course, Is love
liest when of white broadcloth. Lace la
sometimes used with good results in con
nection with fur and flowers.
FOR THE MAID OF HONOR.,
For the little maid of honor, who seems
to be an established feature of ail mod
ish weddings-it Is a charming Idea to
choose an oddly , shaped basket, or even
a plain leghorn hat and have it filled
with some simple flower, such as Mar
guerites. English daisies or the smaller
varieties of chrysanthemums. Broad rib
bon ties are usually looped so that the
basket or hat may be wung from the
shoulder or carried over the arm.
At one of the recent wedding a tiny
maid who officiated In thia Important
capacity held In her hand a small round
bunch of pink June buds tied with nar
row ribbons to match and arranged in a
Inro boider.
For tht bride who prefers to cling to
conventional things there are some reti
ly nre'tv Ideas which serve to Introduce
a pleasing change. Long plume bouquets
with feathery fern are a delightful relief
from the ordinary round affair, while the
everpopular shower bouquet, the slxe and
length of which depend upon the height
of the Individual carrying It, is certainly
as pretty as anything one could find. The
bride usually has her bouquet made of
white roses and lilies of the valley, and
the attending maidens choose roses with
fine ferns or the coarser farleyensis spray.
Orchids are always in good form, prob
acy because tney are so very expensive,
and the bride who' can afford such rare
exotles will of course wear a gown of
harmonizing beauty and elegance.
GARDENIAS FOR THE MEN.
Gardenias are usually reserved for the
male members Of the wedding party,
though occasionally a bride selects her
bouquet of these heavy odored and waxy
flowers, combined with roses or violets.
The latter should, of rnurse he whit
for the bride, though her maids may car-,
ry-the dainty purple flowers. One of the
new Ideas with the violet bouquet is that
of having it tied with broad satin rib
bons to match, and these embroidered in
some effective design utilizing the natural
blooms. Empire wreaths aT sometimes
seen, and it is a quaint and pretty notion
to have a monogram representing the
linked letters of both the bride and groom
done in tiny purple violets,'
A UNIQUE VEIL.
Those who are not expected to figure at
Autumn weddings are finding other little
fads with which to occupy their minds.
In fact the shops are offering quantities
of novelties in every department. The
other dav I came upon a unique veil,
which, ns yet, has not quite caught on.
It was of black spotted mesh and at the
top coming Just under the brim of tho
hat was embroidered a spray of lolly ber
ries and leaves In red and green. The de
sign was long enough to reach across the
entire front of the hat and cover the pom
padour. Naturally it could not be placed
so that the eyes should be hidden.
EVERYTHING UNDER ONE ROOF.
(New Tork Press.)
"I never appreciated the completeness
of your big hotels," said the traveler
from up thu state, "so much as this
trip."
"I got in about o'clock one night and
went to one of them. I had to get Into
my evening clothes In h hurry and hustlo
to keep an appointment
"I'd 'just begun to get ready when I
discovered that I couldn't open my trunk.
Something was wrong vith the lock and
1 thought I was up against, it for fair.
"On general principles, I hit the but
ton for a bellboy and told my troubles.
" Ms that all?" he says. 'I'll send the
locksmith up In a minute.'
" 'Dp you keep a locksmith on all the
time?' I asked.
' "Sure," he says.
"Tn about five minutes a man floated In
with an outlit that would have opened
a burglar-proof vault; He had the trunk
open while I was taking off my coat ami
vest. ''
"But that wasn't al). He had to tike
the lock off, so I said:
" 'Where'U I send this to now go's I
can get a new lock on in a nurry tomor
row?' " 'Send It out!' he Pays. 'You don't
need to. I'm only the night locksmith,
and I haven't got all the tools handy, but
if you'll send for a day locksmith In the
morning he'll put a new lock on it for
you in a few minutes.'
"And ho did. Maybe that's nothing:
new for you New Yorkers, but to a man
from a cross-roads'- .village, It. seemed
about the limit on having everything un
der one roof."

An authority on men' attlrs one said
that gloves should never be worn with
the wrists turned, back except during the
Summer, but wise as he may be in things
sartorial for his own ex, women have
taken it Into their pretty head to turn
their gloves down at any and every season
of the year. Knowing this attitude of fair
femininity, manufacturers have designed
a special glove for them, one that has
the wrists lined with kid or leather to
match the outside. It make a much
neater appearance than did the rough
underside which usually displayed in
'large number and letters, not only the
size of a woman's glove, but Its make and
price. Even though a woman doesn't
elect to turn back tbe wrists of her street
glove, she never dreams of fastening the
single large pearl button. Her gloves are
always large enough to be drawn on with
the greatest ease, and she bothers very
little about them after they are once on.'
The newest bags, an accessory that has
grown to be indispensable, are supplied
with snake-lfke handles of gun metal.
or silver, which are run through two tiny
knobs of the same metal. The idea la for
the purpose of security, for the chain may
be slipped on the wrist, and the metal
ball drawn up cloae about It, so that the
wearer can neither lose the bag nor have
anyone snatch it away. The leathers
used for such articles are the same aa
those we have seen In the shop for some
time. Grey suede is pretty, walrus in
both tan and pearl Is substantial, while
lizard, snake, monkey, and elephant offer
a pleasing variety.
THE MODISH GARMENT.
Oolng-away gown, once upon a time,
belonged exclusively to brides. Now, how
ever, they form a part of the theatrical
woman's personal wardrobe. AU the
chorus girls and soubrette who are with
companies Intending to spend a part of
the season on the road, are supplying
themselves with what they term "golng
away" gowns. These frocks lack the
formal elegance which 1 a characteristic
of the trousseau feature, for invariably
they are made with short walking length
skirts. They are very modish. Well cut
and beautifully hung and are usually ac
companied by rather short Norfolk coats.
It Is really amusing to hear these girls
talk of their "going-away" frocks, though
the Idea of It Is certainly to be approved.
If you want to know the very latest
style for skirts to clear the ground, here
Is a description of an absolutely perfect
garment. The material may be any color
or design, plaid, invisible stripe, or check,
but it nhould not possess a shaggy effect.
The front breadth Is cut in a slightly
broadening panel and extends over the
hips and back in a yoke. There Is no
seam whatever tn the wjiole thing. The
rest of the garment Is arranged in sev
eral widening gores that are he-Id in at
the knees and then permitted to flare very
mueh at the bottom. The back Is fitted
In the regulation habit fashion and there
isn't a single plait about the entire-skirt.
What a blessed relief after the. ubiqui
tous kilted affair.
Many New York women are wearing
skirts of this style with fur coats, for
automobillng and driving. Of course the
squirrel article has the lead, but there is
a hint to the effect that coon skin will
soon become a rival to this gray fur.
In Canada every young girl who belongs
to the fashionable families possesses a
cnat of this Inexpensive fur. The only
objection to be found with It is its great
weight, and It Is doubtful If the weather
here would warrant such a garment.
What a pity we didn't all purchase
grav squirrel skins a season ago llien
the' tin- bits of fur were worth lo cents
apiece, while now furriers demand at
least 50 cents for them.-Washlngton

HAVE LEAN YEARS BEGUN.
(Toronto World.)
Mr. Henry Clews, the New York finan
cier, considers that without doubt the
summit of the prosperity wave in the
United States has been passed and that
a partial reaction has begun. Declining
profits are becoming more, numerous and
the volume of business when quantities
nre used for comparison is not so grati
fying. In stocks price fiave undergone
a very remarkable decline compared with
the highest of the last few years, many
of the active railways' stocks showing
losses of 10 lo 8) points and some have
declined 30 to 30 points more. Industrials
show even greater losses. The money
situation has improved, call money Is
easier and bank reserves are rising as s
result of the forced contraction In loans,
and of the fact that scant consideration
la now given to projects that Would havs
been eagerly taken up two months ago.
Immense sums are still locked up in syn
dicate operations, and it is ald to be
fully realized that the ewmtry has es
caped a serious crisis through nothing
but good luck, or, In other wards, through
a good hurvest. The situation 18 mads
more complex by threatened labor trou
bles. Labor, says Mr. Clews, has al
ready received many concessions in
shorter hours and higher wages during
the last few years, and a much larger
share of corporation earnings has gone
to labor In making Improvements than
to stockholders In the form of Increased
dividends. We can believe that the dis
astrous effects of the late coal strike
have not been fully felt, and that the
consequences of . high-priced fuel will
shortly be seen In diminished prices ta
the consumer of manufactured goods,
Mr. Clews thinks that "some very valu
able lessons in economics are being;
learned Just now In the costly school ofj "
experience."
