' AH Portland, almost berathlessly, is t awaiting the arrival of July 10. Re member the date July 20, 16 days after the Fourth. The women are the ones mostly Interested, but the men, and even the children, are waiting anxiously, too. On that etate July '20 all summer goods will be put on sale at . bargain day prices in all the Portland stores. This was decided upon several weeks ' ago by all the merchants of the city. Those who have been awaiting tho midsummer cuts wondered whv thev were late. They weren't l ite they have simply best) delayed. But everything is all right now, and early on the morning cf July 20, there will be a rush for , your life In every Portland store. Worn-out transfers transfers that liave been used help a little bit every day In operating the Portland street cars on which they have originally been Issued. Out at the power house of th Portland Railway, Light & Power com pany In North Portland, tons and tons his last days. were hanging his neck had been lacerated and frac tured and his front feet well, they wero Just about all In, too. So Mr. Teddy bear was tossed over In a corner where worthless things are thrown. No one thouaht for a moment that It would ever be called for. But sure enough several days later a little miss appeared. The rnlss was all dressed up In white clothes and a blue sash and just looked too cute for anything. But with all her clothes there was a certain expression of sad ness In her little swollen eyes. As big as life she entered the office of the company at First and Alder streets and approached the man at the "Have you a lost Teddy bearT" she said. I M The attendant looked over the j If shelves and among his account books. Ho had forgotten all about that one that once was one, over In the cor ner In the rubbish. "No," he eaid. "You haven't got my Teddy, you say?" questioned the little miss again aa she sort of choked and puckered up her lips. The man shook his head In the neg atlve. And then he thought of the one o'er in the dark, all tattered and torn. "What does your Teddy look like?" he said aa it Is the custom to require all persons to identify articles before they are returned to thm, "Oh," said tha girl a she brightened up a bit, "he's about as big aa a kitty, has nice, soft fur, Is pretty and cute and Just the dearest .thing la the world." Tha deacrlDtlon didn't tally worth a cent with the one that be had, so the man behind the counter began to tmnu that the girl was on the wrong track. "Has your Teddy a broken leg?" asked the man as he pulled the lost one Into view. "Yes, four," she said, and as she caught sight of it she cried with Joy: "Teddv. don't you know me?" Teddy had been identified. There waa no question about it. Old Newport with its swell soolety and Its monkev dinners nnd all that sort of thing Isn't so much after all a Port land woman Has capped the climax oy giving a birthday dinner to her favorite pussy cat. The woman lives over In the Holla day addition, and It was only a few days ago that she gave the unique dinner In honor of her cat which startled all Portland society folks beyond expecta tions. In other words, Portland Is all agog with news of this affair. Many women attended the afternopn stunt. Some of them, It Is said, vfent out"'of curoslty. Others who attended didn't know Just what was coming off. The guests had tea and wafers and a lot or other good things to eat. All the while the cat was having a good tlmo strutting about the parlors and enjoy ing the admiration which It attracted on account of Its second birthday and the celebration In general. It Is reported that after the guests had gone the cat had its real feed. This consisted, so It Is said, of mien Uvr sandwiches, mice hearts, saute, creamed risn eyes, ana many oiner delicacies, In cluding some rat, of which cats are par ticularly fond. The monkey dinner was the talk of Newport It was also' the hit of the season. Portland's cat birthday dinner has also been somewhat of a success, but there Is no Indication that the craze will be become popular. (Newport papers please copv.)
