Society women may be fibbers. -ths
St. IyOula postmaster says, but they
. certainly cannot be accused of lack of
faith in their friends. Whether they
Indignantly deny the postmaster's accu
. . aatlon because they do not wish to n
. cover their own weapons, or because
.. they really believe the fault is not
present,-might he questioned, but the
" women for the greater, part say that
they" would be uuhappys to think ' that
perfidy exists to the extent held by the
' postal official and refuse to believe tt
, The statements were brought out by
the assertion made by the postmaster
-In a telegraphic ; dispatch . from : St.
Louis Monday that the reason so
many Invitations were reported aa go
ing astray was because of the faulty
consciences of the society women who
received themv-that they- would- ssy an
invitation bad not 'been received and
blame the postal service If they did
Hot wish to accept the invitatlou. The
against society women.
"I don't believe." - said Mrs. R. R.
Hogs. , "that it Is a. pracUce or even
'-.'a propensity of society womejj to fib
In this manner: All classes are'eddlcted
i mors or less to untruth, yet It is unfair
" to accredit tt to any on class In par-
Uoular." - -
.. XTnfair t Society.
Mrs. A. A. Morrison, too. refuses to
.believe that It is general custom.
. "Bud, things insy occur," she said, "but
' they do not belong to one class any
- mors that to another..: U Is unfair to
heap such accusations in a general way
on society In general. There la, of
course, more or less human Instinct to
get out of things In as light a manner
- as possible and gnyone Is apt to do it,
. but ' not society, women more than
- others. It 1 so easy to send down
" word that ws aro not at boms to people
. w.e do not wish to sea and hardly
I., regard it as an untruth. .: . '
"If one is ill it Is all right to say
"' one Is pot at horns to that caller. I
4 am afraid that our polite fibs are bar
ing a demoralising effect on our chil
dren, too.' for wo tell these little un
truths ao easily end regard them so
lightly without regard to what they
" mean to the younger ones. And so It
, Is hard to etop fibbing among children.
But. understand. I don't think It any
worse among , society women than
others." '' - 1 ' -
- . Admits X Mar Ba So.
MraTAblgaTI Scott" TiWwaytaks -an
opUmlstla view of th matter, even
t though shs admits It may be so.
"The postal regulations sre generally
pretty well carried out," she said, "and
It certainly 1 an easx escape to pro
tend one did not receive an invitation.
So the St. Louis poatmastef may have
been speaking ths truth. But I would
not accuse woman of ' wholesale false
hood on a report like that. '.There Is,
of course, a great deal of subterfuge
among us today and X can't believe that
the poatal service Intentionally omits
the delivery of thej notes. I have
known cases where I was absolutely
certain that women had received the
invitations they did not wish to recog
nise, but this has not happened ' very
often . In my knowledge and I don't
think It Is common. After all. I believe
men and women are better than they
arc usually given credit for.'' rr
"J don't- think such a thing can be
true." said Mrs. I. Ixjwengardt. !"I
should feel so bsdly If I thought It
were. "I have never heard of Snylhlng
of that kind happening in Portland and
I don't think It ever has. It is often
said that society Is shsllow, though I
have never found It especially so. but
even then I don't believe it Is that shal
low. It might be that In Nsw York,
where they are . so pressed with en
gagements they might but, no, I re
fuse to believe It happens even there
when there are many legitimate
means within propriety of refusing In
vitations. We all have too much faith
la our friends to believe that." , . -
1 Trvtests Against Charge,
, Mrs. Frederick Eggert protested in
dignantly against any such wholesale ac
cusation. . "I do jot think It Is at all a current
custom," aha said, "and 1 think women
are aa likely to be honest as men in
these little matters. And society women
arc no more likely to resort to such
methods than any others. It la not
necessary',' 'or one thing, and I believe
they arc above It, for another thing."
Other women who were - approached
on the subject and who move In society
circles protested against any such report
being spread abroad, for It was an In
justice to their friends. All refused to
admit such disbelief in ths people with
whom they have . daily dealings, and
suggested that It "would be needless
perjury where every way Is offered -to
a man or woman to avoid aa Invitation
ho or she does not car to accept. And
most of-them -emphasised the- fact that
men arc put to the same test and arc
as likely to fib politely as a woman.
Rosenthal A Co., on Third street, the
firm that made-ths Hanan ahos famous
In Oregon, has been selling a- large
number of Its' waterproof, eravenette
12-button over-gaiters during the reeent
cold snap. Women generally are learn
ing to appreciate the comfort and serv
ice as well as the attractiveness of this
neat gaiter, and in the extra length they
are rigM now proving especially popu
lar. They come in all colors.-and thus
they may be obtained to match the skirt
or coat, completing a stylish and health
ful costume. The Jong over-galter Is
one more evidence - of . common sense
combined with beauty In women's garb,
and is In line with the steady march
toward mora civilised modes of dress
for women. Mr. Rosenthal Is also well
supplied with felt shoes which the
cold weather has mads much In demand,
and as a general sale Is on at' this store
these seasonable articles can be had
very reasonable. .

' Th poodyear Bhoe Repair factory,

prietor. Is on of th most uniquely
interesting establishments tn th city.
W usually think of a repair shop as a
small, unimportant place; and so It
was, until Mr. Bruck. with modern ideas
of advertising and expansion, achieved
th distinction of making It on of th
most widely known and largely prosper
ous concerns In th city. Mr. Bruck
hss been connected -with large shoe fac
tories all his life, and he had In mind
for many years ths factory of which he
is now the head. H began four years
ago with one man besides himself and
one machine; each year he has doubled
the business of th previous year, and
today he employ nine men besides hi n
self, and keeps ,14 machines busy sll the
time. II needs double th space and
facilities of his nresent shon. and la on
a "still hunt" for larger quarters. From 1
150 to ZBQ pairs of -shoes are mended
each day, ranging all th way from
those of school boys to those of society
ladles, who com la rgularly-4o have
heels straightened and wrinkle Ironed
out while they wait. In fact it has
become . qu(te a fad with this latter
class to visit th- repair shop, oven aa ,
they send articles of clothing to ths
cleaner's for pressing snd rejuvenation. '
Mr. Bruck has had shoes In his fac
tory that have trod the eoll of every
land.' and In addition to th repair de
partment, he- makes shoes to order,
having a large trade among people who
cannot easily be fitted from ready-made
stock.
