There Is o expense for these1 studies: The club aims to Weep n mem bers Informed upon all subjects relating to art.

Myron Lefflngwell, the autborrwas"bOTir1Ccntucklan. " On Thursday and during the remainder of the week "Doris" will hold the boards, '.jjeBsw.Hniney appearing as Doris Vane, AT THE XUTXMX. The Pollard Opera company, which has scored such Immense success at th Baker theatre last week, has added two more performances to its engagement here. These will , take place tomorrow afternoon and evening at the Empire theatre, and the opera chosen will be "A . Gaiety Girl," In which they have al ways made a decided hit. The story opens at winDridge Barracks, the head quarters of the Life Guards, who have Invited some society ladies to a garden party. Major. Barclay has taken advan tage of the occasion to invite some gai ety girls. It is in the mixing of society .with stage celebrities that causes many of the funny complications. A Jealous ' French maid tries to make it appearthat the heroine of the piece has stolen a diamond comb, and around that the com plications of the piece revolve. -JAWS" AT THE BAKZH. Beginning tomorrow afternoon, with the usual matinee, the Baker Theatre company will reappear at the Baker the- ' at re after a week's absence In the farce "Jane." Here's the story of the play: A reckless young man ha been getting money from Ms guardian on the state ment that he liaa an extravagant wife. He really has no wife at all, and when the guardian suddenly appears on a visit It is necessary to provide a wife. He provides himself with one, and his but ler obligingly provides him with another. A child Is needed, and one found for the occasion. Another is needed and not found, but is accounted for. The mother of th first child comes and demands it, but the butler, who Is the real husband of the master's pretended wife, tires of the game and exposes tha trick. The butler and the maid servant are re united, the mother recovers the child, and a pretty girl comes forward, whom the gay young bachelor really doe marry, while the guardian beams, for gives everybody and paya all the bills. ID ETBKXAZ. CITY." The handsome scenic production, which will be seen at the Marquam Grand theatre in the near future, is i that of Hall Calne's "The Eternal City." In which Llebler & Co. are starring Ed ward J. Morgan with Sarah Truax. late head of the stock company at the Grand opera-house, Pittsburg, as leading worn- n. There are five rcts, aggregating eight scenes. In this drama. All are historically accurate, being taken from actual' places In Rome, and several are remarkable in subject, scope and exe-' cutlon, particularly one representing the Vatican gardens, with 8t. Peter's In the distance, and another' showing the ruined Coliseum In the moonlight. From a scenic standpoint as well as because ttt Its absorbing and forcefully told story and the splendid manner In which it wa acted by Mr, Morgan and bis as the Outdoor Art league is putting forth strenuous efforts to secure the passage through congress of what Is known as the "Big Tree BiH." . The object of the bill Is to reserve, as national park. that part of California containing the Calaveras groves. . Almost every state In the Union has been appealed to to add Its vote and voice for the preserva tion of these trees. (-,--.- The bill will be presented at ' the present session of '' congress1 by the united California delegation. Twice be fore" bills have been - preaented ' and been opposed by the public land com mittee and passed tha senate, but failed to reach a hearing in the house Of rep resentatives. This would seem inexpli cable, if in stating the matter a lltt.e later-on the committee bad not said: . "Forty mill and logging companies are now at work, wholly or In part. upon - the big tree timber." . The same ."colored gentlemen" may be at work as is some times employed to purloin bills, or manipulate them, iri our Oregon legislature. . The committee engaged - upon this preservation work (of which Mrs. Lovell White of San Francisco is chairman), has not relied upon it own wisdom to give reason for urging this measure, but Incloses with other matter. the fol lowing extract from a higher, Indeed, the very highest authority: "1. The dimensions of the big tree are uneoualed. "2. The age of the big tree makes It the oldest living thing. , "J. The majestic beauty of the, big tree Is unique and world-renowned. "4. It now exist only in ten Isolated gloves on slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains, and nowhere else In tha world. . . , "6. The Mariposa grove 1 today the only one of consequence which Is com pletely protected. ' , "t. Most of the scattered groves of big trees are privately owned,' and therefore in danger of destruction. "7. Lumbering Is rapidly sweeping them off; 40 mills and logging compa nies are now at work, wholly or In part, upon big tree timber. "8, The southern groves show some reproduction, through which there is hops of perpetuating these groves; in th northern groves the species hardly holds its own. ".' ". The species represents a surviving prehistoric genus of trees once growing widely over the globe." Report by Di vision of Forestry. . , 1 Oregon club women have taken an ac tive interest In the work and through their stats and city federations have appealed to their delegates at Washing ton. In reply to a letter from a stats officer. Senator Mitchell says: "The enterprise is a most praise worthy one, and anything I may be able to do In aid of its purposes will be cheerfully done."

Each member gave several similes from the "Iliad." and the program which fol lowed was: 'The Women of the Iliad," MrsrOtto HlrschrCharacter-Sketchof Aeneas," Mrs. J. E. D. Stalling; "Fu nerals and Funeral Games," Mrs. Frank MUesi 'Tne Customs and Manners of Homer's Time." Mrs. George Dunham; "Excavations on th Sight of Troy," Mrs. J. M. Gllnes. sociates. "The Eternal City" was the most talked-of play In the eastern cities last winter, even though the season had more than the ordinary number of the atrlcal surprises. 1 "A MATIim TJDOL." Last season Paul Gllmore made a pro nounced sucoess in "Th Tyranny of Tear." This season he has scored a positive triumph in "The Mummy 'and the Humming Bird." Triumph follow ing success Is Indeed fraught with mean ing. There is a reason for everything. and, of course, there is for this. Paul Gllmore is a unique figure on the Amer ican stage. He combines the qualities so essential to being a popular favorite in the greatest degree. He Is what manyareonljL said 19 .be.al,matlnee Idol." In "The Mummy and the Hum ming Bird", his manager, Jules Murry. nas given Mr. aumore a vehicle calcu lated to show off all this actor's good qualities to the best possible advantage. Lord Lumley, the dear Mummy of the play, is such a lovable character that even a less capable artist would be ad mired In the part. His wit. like Mer- cutlo's, is bubbling, and no matter how serious the situation, the dear Mummy tempers all his trials with th delight ful wit of Ms nature. What a foil the Humming Bird Is for the Mummy! How penitent Lady Lumley grows when she becomes .cognisant of the real worth of her husband, and how she despises the sinister spirit of the evil genius of the play! But why recount tha many at tractive features or "The Mummy and the Humming Bird T' Both will be here next Monday and Tuesday night at th Marquam Grand theatre. Seats are now selling. . , ,. :.

Aprons Useful and 'Artistic. : One of the season's Innovations is the apron. Jt is dainty, beruffled and pic turesque, ana is to be worn both orna mentally and for use. But even the useful ones are so pretty and becoming as to make every girl feel Industrious. They corns in coarse linens, holland and crash, and are trimmed with bands of a contrasting color or braid. Make them with ruffles running over. the sleeve tops and a poke-shaped belt of some soft material, perhaps percale. One that is striking and becomlng'lo a brunette is of turkey red. It has the advantage, too, of not soiling so easily as iignter coiorea materials. The woman who does her own house. work will find the artist apron a good one and very comfortable to work In. It Is usually made of striped or checked gingnam. The dainty little' sewing aprons are made of some pretty colored or flowered muslin, cut in squares or circles, with very , full frills all round, , and tiny pockets set on. The prettiest ones cau db maae xrora large handkerchiefs.
