(There la no dreary collection of colorless de i tall work and. . no -over-abundanca of eohnkal drawings. Instead there la a Joyous sense of color radiating from the walla where the wator colore have been hung and from the case of delight ful art glnss and tile work, much of the brat of it contributed by local men On one aide of the main gallery has been blaced the terra cottas, tha Faience and Rookwood mantels and garden pot lerles with their warm shadings of reda, their soft browna and greens. !,f .; Unusually Attractive Display, f, From every point of view the exhibi tion is attractive and, decidedly worth 00? WOMEN'S CLUBS AND WORK HIS being the season of individual resolutions, there seems- no good reason why a few club resolu tions might not be a' profitable ' investment . No doubt many of - them would, like the proverbial New .Tear'a resolution, be broken, but the .suggestive thought, or better still, the desire might be a aeed that would aprlng VP d bring forth some fruit If TCiot an abundant crop. First then let us resolve more loyalty to our state ana national organization, and this means mora work aw) greater Interest in them. . , " We would begin with our educational fund. About $600 In all has been sub scribed. Almost every cent of this is either loaned out; or promised.--Tbla "means" that nearly (500 la helping worthy girls of the state to procure an education and better prepare themselves for . the duties of life, be these duties bread-winning or home-keeping. Every . loan has been made to girls who would have had ' to leave school if they had not gotten thla help. The present finan cial condition will compel many others to seek financial assistance, or curtail their educational work. Let every club In ' the state resolve to do 'something during the year to increase this fund. Let the next -resolution be to hold up the hands of the pure food committee In Its endeavor to purify the milk and market conditions of the state. This may be done by each olub creating a ' epeclaj committee to cooperate with the late and national committee. Write to Mrs. E. R. Miller, 189 McMillan street, for information aa to how. to. proceed. Resolve that every -Rood ftaner read In ? our club be cent to the state bureau of nt nrmation . and that -when ' vou need something you can't, find in your town you win sena : to. me onairman, v&irs.

Meditau upon the. lawo f oar state", ! i - Hi . . j,. .. -iuv.i whfk Tha members of . the Portland club have worked hard and faithfully and be It ssld to their credits have eliminated anvthlna that speaks too loudly of personal advertising. Nearly BO per cent, of the exhibitions hava come In from other cities. The Paciflo coast hai done its part well and many of the most , interesting designs have come from our slater states of California and Washington. ' New York and Boston and other eastern centera have also contributed largely to the. . aucceaa . of the exhibition. ' Although architecture holds tha place of honor among the arts included in tha exhibition the Kindred one of landscape architecture has not been overlooked and many of the moat attractive pieces in the galleries, from the point of view of a layman, sre contributed by land scape man. The other allied arts are also well represented, including those of interior decoration and specimene of tiling and pottery. ;.c To a growing city euch aa Portland, the importance of such an exhibit aa that of the Architect's club can scarcely be 'overeatimatcd. The club will un doubtedly become a great power for good along the 'lines Of municipal im Edited by Mrs. Sarah A.

If you need anything to stimu late you think of the unfortunates the blind, the delinquents, the mutes, the in sane all, at the mercy of the political machine, and their care the spoils of the victor. Make your plans early for the summer and resoive to inciuae in your vacation the Chautauqua season. There will be a fine, large, new tent and some sleeping accommodations, the program -will e better than ever Tnd special attention will be given to the things women are interested in. By communicating with Mrs. Dalton chair man of the committee, accommodatlona may be arranged on the grounds or near er Tor ciuowomen. And laat let avery clubwoman resolve to atand for a greater anJ more useful organization which can only be obtained by the individual member doing her full duty, for the individual member is the unit of all' good and ' perfect club action. s . - . . e si fINCBJ the subject of international X scholarships for women has been made an issue with the General Federation, much has been written and said about the advantage to be derived from thla educational Intercourse, and it haa occurred to few to Inquire what benefits young women might derive If m nzssmm they came to this country to study methods. In fact many women do come to America, both at their own and at government expense, to study American ways or to get an Amaripan education. Wellesley now has three young Chinese girls who are here at government ex pense, being educated. Recently there arrived in this country a woman dele- fate from Greece to study our lnstitu ions of higher education for women, and a representative from the French government who is to. make a report on our public school system In lta. en tlrety. . . The latest Arrival, la Miss Valfrid Palmgren, ; Ph. - D assistant librarian oi the Royal State library of Sweden, who will spend several months in this country, collecting data about public libraries. Miss Palmgren'a appointment to her position requfrad a special dis pensation from the king, as the consti tution of Sweden provides that only men may. hold public office The name Palmgren is associated' in Sweden with all that makes for modern progress in education', for K. 2. Pftlm- fpren, her father, 80 years ago establ ished the first coeducational- school in Sweden. Eloyd, or manual training, waa first evolved in this school, and from that beginning has been established in almost - every country In 'ithe , world. Teachers from every land have bee visitors at tha palmgren school. , The ceremony attending the bestowal Of Miss Palmgren'a doctor's degree two years ago, ait the ancient University of upeala, , reads - like , the page from an ancient manuscript - The university re-. 1 k ' '4 ! i f 1M .'. w)'-.-f- t A. . yCOUNTOt. 10 provements and will do for Portland what similar bodies have done for other eitlea in improving the public .taste not only in civic improvements, but in pri vate dwellings and offices and store buildinga. Tha. committee in charge of the exhi bition includes H. F. Lawrence, chair man, A. E. Doyle, F. J .Berndt. J. Ja cobberger, C. L. Llnde. Theofflcers of the club are F. J. Berndt? president; H. A.

Andarson's Talent Shows, In mentioning the few Individual ex hibitors that space allows a tardy rec ognition of the talent of F. E. J. Ander son deserves first place. There are In the' large gallery half a dozen or ao specimens of Mr. Anderson s work a work that was never appreciated dur ing his life-time by the city in which he lived and was toollttle thought of by the artist himself. 1 But the members of the club have carefully gathered together some of his work from wjiere it had been thrown and forgotten, framed it and now every one can see for himself what "Poor Jim" Anderson had in him. His water- tains, air the traditional procedure and1 ceremony that has, long years ago, been dropped from other institutions of learning. The scholarship test is most severe and would put to shame many of the lightly acquired degrees of our modern . universities. 1 The disputation of a thesis - requires over three hours, the applicant for the degree standing during the entire time. Criticism most scathing is permitted, and even ridi cule, but throueh every test Miss Palmgren won out magnificently, and received tne honors which were be stowed with several wreaths of laurel by members of the faculty, a gold ring, ornamented with laurel leaves. t laced on her weddlnar flnirer. and finally the presentation of the diploma. As-la customary, ahe gave a supper to luuicwun ana ait woo iook part in in vesting her with the 'degree. . Miss Palmgren will remain in this country several months and visit many .luranes.. 01 NIB of the most valued holiday re membrances that was received by many of the women of Oregon this yoar was a dainty and beautifully bound little , booklet . containing a poem, not alone known to this state, but of na tional fame, entitled "Oregon, Land of Promise," by Abigail Scott Duniway. Oregon's leading and most brilliant lit erary woman, as well aa the chamnlon of woman's cause in tha northwest. In the summer of 1872, .while the author was Journeying from the Atlantic to the Paciflo ocean, and thence tin tha Co lumbia and Willamette rivers to her nome in Portland she, rrom stage to stage of her Journey wrote this poem, which is remarkable for lta nnwerfnl descriptive portrayal and its grand and uenumui patriotism. - . - It j has at various time hen anlrail for, and even demanded, by the press pi uuin east ana west, ana several times haa found Its way into leading period icals, but thla Is the first time it has been put into permanent form. It has been used extensively ty the personal friends and .admirers of Mrs. Duniway, this year aa a holiday souvenir. It is particularly anrooos for this, aa it haa a most excellent portrait of the author on the cover, and to her friends ahe added the greeting that, for 0 years haa been the clarion call to duty for women, "Tours for liberty, Abigail Scott Dun iway." i .. K K . . BROTHER TANNER of the Melrose Baptist church of San Francisco, , mlgfcl Just aa well begin to pack his kit and prepare to bunt pastures new. When people are flitting through a place they can afford to cast aspersions on the clubwomen, if they thereby add a little to their self-importance, but to ay them and remain, means they Rave to prove wnat tney say, ami eviaenuy the California women mean to give Rev.

The work of Edward Bruna In leaded and stained glass will also repay espe cial attention. Mr. Bruns has been toll- 1! sT7; : 5 l'W . ,o.-i.i inr away in I'orimna prmciicauiy uu LA PruA.(AJ M known excepting to a few sympathetio Dzmner craiismen, uui nis aniBiic ugui is too good a one to long remain hid den under a bushel. He has some par ticularly good landscape design in leaded glass and glass mosaics, notablyy the Banta Barbara mission piece. An other remarkable piece of glass work is the Tiffany mantel, an exquisite thing in brown glass, blossoming Into colors at the top, but so fragile looking that one Is afraid to stir in lta pres ence and so far as daring to build a comfortable fire under it never! Albert Doyle's sketches of foreign travel, pencil work and showing a good appreciation of the subjects for the most part the classic Grecian ruins are an attractive feature of the wall exhiblta Simple little things, and a good foil for the larger skyscraper de signs farther on down the room. Kelly & Newbery of Los Angeles have some attractive country-house plana show ing front elevations, garden ends and a drawing for the Hollywood Country club. Pleasing, too, are Ernat Kroner's drawings of the bridge tower at Prague and the church of St. Humbert's at Ausbach. Ellis Lawrence has more of the .same character, with aome particu- larly good French detail bits, especial ly the old houses In Rouen. Other Zzoelleni Slap lays. E. . M. Lasarus has a large display representing his peculiarly bold style of house drawings, of which the Hirsch residence on St. Clair street , la a char-1 everybody knows in connection with the saving of the big trees, and who la president of the Outdoor Art league, said: "It is because women did not become interested in club life many years ago that men llKe Dr. Tanner ministers, doctors and lawyers have any lob at all' today, so I am not surprised that they are Interested In suppressing the club. There is one thing in wmcn women stand alone. In all other fern lnine pursuits man excels, even as i Qpok. a dressmaker or a milliner, pre' sumably vocations of women. But she has not even been perm i ted to develop and oonserve her energy so that she can do 4he one thing well, and with horror she haa seen hospitals, penitenti aries' ana insane asylums ruling up witn tne aina or numan neing ane is pro, duclng, and, incidentally, thereby givin( occupation to ministers, doctor anc lawyers. The struaale for the emanci pation of women Is only nature's revolt against an order of things that was creating beings of inferior body, mind and soul. The activity of woman in the matter of club life is an effort to broaden herself that she may uplift the race." - - Mrs. Tnes Shorb-White, a society leader, replies to Ha v. Tanner by say. ing: i'Rlghtly understood, the club life does a rreat deal toward the solution of the affinity problem and consequently the divorce evil, because it aids women in bedomlng companions, and it la the companion who la the affinity. Any il literate, uneducated nomaq can lowe, but it taices tne aavancea, progressive, in teresting and interested woman to be a companion, ir a woman oouia be a com pahfon and a comrade to her husband and understand and sympathize with him, he would not look outside of his nome xor nis airinity. : Many more women were interviewed by a San Francisco paper and ex pressed strong opinions upon the sub ject Of Mr. Tanner's remarks, which seemed a waste of time and space for everyone Knows an intelligent man makes no remarks of that kind and those that do only have the object of a iittie cneap notoriety in view. X ft I WONDER when the male mind will realize that it is not competent to Judge the question of the purity of woman? Most of the dissertations on tha subject these days are written by men. The latest is an article by Wil liam Winter in the December number of the Paciflo Monthly. He generously admits that man is as . culpable aa wo man, but he loftily declares, "Neither sermons, nor novels, nor essays, nor plays will affect he result." He tells us that ."Nature, not man, has ordained the moral sequence, and it is Inevi table.'! Tea, we agree with him, It is inevitable, but he does not ao on to explain that nature also deals out the same -quality of Justice to the man who forsakes the path of virtue. She -visits the result not only upon himself,1 but upon the unfortunate woman he marrlea and upon the unfortunate beings who are hia -children. Is it not about time that we look the question squarely in the face' and say. to the man aa we do now to the woman t "Thou. too. art un clean"? c Mr. Winter aaya further that "No man who respects himself or cares for the welfare and honorable repute of his children ever will or can pardon his wife's infldellty1',i:etc. etc, How about the other side of the nlcture? If the knowledge of the husband's infidelity comes to tne - wire, sne is expected to "overlook it for the ake of lhe chil dren," and society call a ' her "a loving and forgiving wife." Society does not n 4- it: -sfA ill KATttOLIC'-fY 5 i. mm. acteristlo examnle. but chiefly Inter esting in regard to the antique Roman plecea that he haa collected. The bronze from Pompeii and very hand aome Venetian cheata would be a not able feature of any exhibition. A de tail of the interior decorations In mo saic tot the United States National bank is another good piece. David C Lewis' Board of Trade building will at tract attention, and so will the new perspectives for both the T. M. C. A. and T. W. C A. buildings shown by McNaughton, Raymond h Lawrence. The four mantela In the house of Rob ert Llvlngatcne are good samples of In terior work. SummervlUe A Cote, who are doing soma particularly good work in Seattle, ex hibit drawings of the new Perry apart ments, which combine those usually hopelessly Incompatible things, an apartment house and good taste; and j also there la the new Seattle cathedral I take Into the reckoning the ruined health of the wife, the deformed bodies, sickly and misshapen limbs and weak ened brains of the children of the man whose "Infidelity," either before or after marriage, is overlooked. Figures given out by expert to moral prophylaxla work tell ua that 60 per cent of the diseases of the men patients of the physicians In this country are due to ' lnndelity." A broad statement, you say? . Tea, perhaps, but is it not time that we Know something ot the true state of affairs? Is it nbt time that we demand that the future fathers of tha country shall live in "purity and honor" as well aa that future mothers shall be virtuous? Ia It not about time that women shall say to the unclean man: "Go, you are not fit to associate with my daughter"? We must place upon him the ban ofso ciety aa we do upon woman. But' do we? No: we rather pride ourselves upon our double standard, and go about sen. timentaiizmg about the man wnom we think haa autlered enougn with eight, months' imprisonment for ruining a 16-year-old girl in his own house, while we shut our hearts against the poor, weak child who Is ruined! Oh, the pity or It all! And we women are to blame for -thla double standard! There is many a mother in this city who will give her daughter to a man who has wealth and a position in society with out giving his morals a thought; who would rather see her son dead than married to a woman of doubtful char acter. Winter says that "the existence or so ciety rests on the sanctity of the home, and the sanctity of the home rests upon the chastity of the woman." Now, I wonder if it really does? My club sis tera. what do you think about it? Society, oreachers. writers, the courts all bow down to the double standard and the woman who dares declare for one ' moral standard for both men and women la looked upon as an extremist or crank. Somehow we do not like to do or say things that win mane our selves unpopular or cause people to say we are radical. Women, especially, think, talk and act along conventional linea ana, as l saia oeiore, are largely to blame for their own extra burden. Instead of aakina that the boys who are brought to the Juvenile court shall be dealt with in the same manner as tha arlrla whom they have ruined, we Bit calmly by and, without protest, see tne gina aent to tne institution ior way ward girls, while the boys are put on probation.- But we are told we must not And fault; that criticism la de structive! Might it not also be con structive if we suggested that the boy be sent to a similar institution or to a sanitarium T Radical? Again yes perhaps? ; s CLUBWOMAN. ; I T SEEMED almost like a voice from the dead, when, a few days ago, the ' press dispatches announced that King Edward had conferred on Flor ence Nightingale the Order of Merit Her deed' had become so much a part of past history and her present Ufa has been so quiet and serene that the ma jority Of people had ceased to think of her aa still with us, so the news of the honor conferred upon her cam aa a shock of surprise 'to- the public. Fifty-three years ago there came to England tha startling news which shooa- tha nation to its center, that soldiers of the Crimea. were dying by the thousands in , the' British hospitals for want of nroner care and mediclnea America can appreciate this call, . for nearly 60 years later it came up to ui from fever-infested Cuba, where thoe sanda of good American -soldlenr were onerea up. on tne aitar or greea ana po- III I .v. iT&f . v.'.--.-- - p. t ."ti.n.:.-s ,r'v;.;',vv 4 Vv f s ft -i A , 1 1 j (n w from Heine ft LaFarge of New York, a strikingly noble building.

It was the women of England who arose in their wrath and demanded that some thing be done, though the Duke of New castle offered to send out relief t his own expense, knowing that - hundreds would die before the ponderous ma chine of government could get around to It. Florence Nightingale was the first to offer her services to Sidney Herbert, the secretary of war, and she 'was imme diately commissioned to take out a corps of volunteer nurses. Miss Nightingale at this time was head of the Governess sanitarium in Harley street, London, and waa widely known for her phllan- Jhropio work. She was born in Italy in 820 and waa the daughter of a wealthy Hampshire gentleman. She had pre pared herself for . her chosen work at various institutions and was not the amateur and untrained nurse many sup pose her to have been. Every one knows the history and the record thla noble woman made. Balak lava was but 10 days past when these women - arrived on tne scene, ana tne wounded were, etill unattended, but from that time on a new erdar-of things prevailed, and the name of Florence Nightingale became immortal. After the war the people of England raised a fund of 50,000 and presented it to Mias Nightingale, but every penny of it went to establishing the Nightin gale House, a training school for nurses, attached to St Thomas' hospital, Lon don. She 18 the first woman to receive the distinction of this order and it has only been bestowed upon 19 men. The Order of ; Merit is very exclusive. It was founded by King Edward in 1902 for the recognition of especially distinguished services in all walks of life. In the hallway of St jThomas" hos pital there is a statue of Florence Nightingale in her nurse's garb, and holding a lamp in her hand. The light from her lamp personified haa pointed the way to other nationa It is this statue that called forth the following beautiful little poem from Longfellow, entitled "Lady With the Lamp ": Lo! in that house of misery A lady with a lamp I see Pass through the glimmering gloom And flit from room to room.
