by booths war dealing out, with Uylah
Great salmon, cold meat. salad,
cheese, bread of all sorts, pies, .cakes,
coffee and toe cream were a few of the
many things ready to regal the hungry
host
It would take but a cursory 1 an ce to
see that absolute system reigned su
preme In all th arrangement for thl
great feast; for every one knew her
place, and Her duty and every one stood
oinaafully to It for it t conducted
almost wholly by women. No confusion,
not a Jarring word, but like dock work
everything moved to th tlm and tune
of harmony and goodwill. While It take
the many to, put forward a thing Ilk
this there ha nevertheless got to b the
one central mind . that controls and
keeps the supervision of th whole, and
this mainspring has been found In Mrs.
C. M. Cartwrlght, who for many years,
Indeed almost from the first beginning
of th pioneer reunions, has been chair
man of th "Woman" Auxiliary and
tood at the helm, guiding and directing
antll th feast was laid, and then taking
her place a th weloomlng hostess, and
giving th hearty handclasp and kindly
smile to each and every old friend as
they enter and that mean every one,
for she 1 proud to call them all her
friends. Mr Cartwrlght could not
speak la too high terms of the many
women who year after year, have stood
by her serv In in th same capacity and.
If such a thing oould be. growing

This was certainly a pioneer feast to
be remembered. Naturally sorrow had
crept Into the homes of many since the
last reunion, but that must be expected,
and that those who have been bereaved
have had th courage to go forward at
the call of duty to others, but proves
th timber of the real pioneer. Barring
these sad memories nature poured out
her most lavish blessings for the occa
sion, weather, flowers, muslo and love
vied together to give the pioneers the
best day they have ever had.
FiTRST In ,th serle of articles we
I wfll publish from the art class of
the Portland Woman' club Is
the following by Mrs. Rouett, on "Ori
ental Rugs:" '
; "How remote the tlm In which these
textile fabrics ' were born Is a matter
for archaeology to determine. Students
of Mexican antiquities claim the Maya
missionaries crossed) the Pacific ocean
to settle in th Deccan, and Journeying
over Asia taught to Infant Egypt the
fundament of the mysteries and hancftd
down to Judaism and Christianity the
story of Cain and Abel even .the older
one of th templed Eve. In many fami
lies of oriental rugs are to be found. the
patterns of stone carvings on the Maya
temples of Yucatan" which were built
when Egypt was a wilderness and aban
doned centuries- before Confucius.
Th first known rugs came from
Egypt, Assyria and Chaldea came next
and possibly India; they represented a
symbolism deep and complicated which
pervade every denomination of, oriental
carpet, the carpet Itself prefigures
space and eternity, the general pattern
or filling the fleeting finite universe of
animated beauty. Every color used had
Its significance, ' the design Its hidden
meaning, even the representations of
men hunting wild beasts had their spe
cial Indications, so had the natural flow
ers their symbolism, generally follow
ing that of their colors, the colors white,
yellow, green, blue, red and black; in
case of th dominant color of deities
and sacred animals, . of the sun and
moon, were not chosen haphasard. but
according 'to the symbolical significance
which the-. Egyptians were accustomed
to attribute to each color, the Idea of
Joy was expressed in' white and green,
''Abhorring a vacuum the easterner at
his highest mark of artistic capability
filled the blank space which was his bit
of eternity with fulness , of warmth
And beauty which spoke for him then as
now a man whose immortality never
ceased until his fingers grew weary at
life's loom and the earth claimed him.
"Professor Goodwin maintains that
every decorative device had its birth In
the flower of th lotus, that th figures
of all modern rugs, as well as the forms
of architecture, are descended from the
lily of the Nile emblem now as in the
old Egyptian days of regeneration and
Immortality. He also declares that the
Chinese fret and the Greek meander
alike and are only rectangular exaggera
tions of the curling leaves of the lotus.
The palmette and rosette which ls rep
resented in the ancient rugs are but the
nascent form of the lotus the closed
bud or rosette show in the border of the
"rug, thus binding and unifying th life
story told In th body of the carpet with
an unbroken succession of the emblems
of eternity and renewed being the bud
signifying birth, the full blown flower
the completeness of sg4, the vine typi
fying long repetition of th life process
which separates, yet unites th two.
"The tree of life Is also represented
to" Persian rag as showing th tenacity
or the old forms, what Is khown In rug
design as th Heratl or fish pattern. Us
feature is- a rosette between two long
curved leaves in which om of th im
aginative ha v discovered the resem
blance to fishes. The fish pattern is
not found in the body of the rugs unless
It be in comparative purity as a draper
covering all -or a considerable part of
the central field. There are other ele
ments equally enduring, for example the
pear pattern for which la also claimed a
lotus derivation, xne pear
have an association with Persia; It Is
seen In sbswls of India also called the
flam or con device from the crown
jewel which emits a flame and 1 wor
shiped to this day In a religious sense.
"The Chines fret th Greek key and
Swastika also are design . of th ori
ental rug. Th Greek key pattern sym
bolised the River Meande and the Swas
tika is said to b the origin of the key
pattern,. The Swastika appears In many
Persian ruga It expresses Joy, good
xeuowsmp; gooa -win ana nappmess; it
Is said to have had Its origin In the
M4ya temple of Yucatan.' '
'The modern oriental rug are Identi
cal witn in earliest rabrlcs produced
In Ea-ypt the delicate a-eometrial fig
ures with borders of the lotus and other
Tiowers. in an oriental countries rugs
wer mad for specif lo personal pur
pose : and ar classed as th prayer
rug, kail , or floor covering, anatollan
hiatal runner. , saddle-bags . or covers,
grave carpets, hangings. The best that
can be don la th way of broad charac
ter! ration is to say that the Caucasian,
Turkish -and Tartarian or Turkoman
fabrics s re geometrical. Th Persian
are reallstlo and floral."

THEATRICAL NOTES.
When Maude Fealy goes on tour the
coming season a the Valentin oomedy,
"Th Stronger Sex," many notable
changes in the construction of th
play will be apparent The author has
added much to his already famous
contribution that will be of great value
to the young star.
Walter Hampden, of the Henry Mil
ler associate players, who Is now the
talk of New York because of hi lm-
Eersonatlon at the Savoy theatre of
Canson in "The Servant in the House,"
a character made up to resemble the
accepted ideal portraits of Christ and
supposed to be the Christ spirit rein
carnate, is a' young American actor
whose work up to the present season
was confined to England. He la an
Intimate friend of Charles Rann Ken
nedy, author of the play, who wrote the
drama for Hampden, and, when It was
Subllshed recently by Harper & Bros,
edicated It to him.
'
Unusual Interest attaches to th pro
duction of "Commencement Days," ths
three-act play of college girl life, by
Virginia Frame and Margaret Mayo,
which John Cort will present early in
September. Mr. Cort has evidently se
cured an exceptionally good pleos of
theatrical property. The play wa re
cently given a trial production with
gratifying results, press and publlo be
ing unanimous In their praise of the
true to life handling of so attractive
a theme by these celebrated writers.
Miss Frame, who is a graduate of Smith
College, knows her college rlrl. Miss
Mayo is a dramatist vof distinction
whose recent successes, "Polly of the
Circus" and "In the Bishop's Carriage"
are among the very best of late Amer
ican presentations. "Commencement
Days" will bs produced in New York.
