This Is the time of year when ques
tions such as these are rife: "What
shall I give Pegry for Christmas?" and
"What in the world can I get for Madge
--that she does not already possess?" So
cudgel your brains and frown in de
trpair for an answer. One solution is
neckwear. If you're in doubt as to its
acceptability,.'! you need to do Is to
ask yourself if you ever, ever heard of
a woman wlio didn't perfectly adore
nice fussy thing for her neck ana
you'll luqfo your answer, because there
never was one who didn't. So even if It's,

U.-O. Girl Stumps Political Expert
(Special to The Journal.)
:. University- of-Oregonr-lCugene, Or.,
Dec. 10. It took a freshman girl to
ask Allen Eaton, a senior member of
the Oregon legislature and author of a
book upon tha -"Oregon System ques
tions upon the initiative and referendum
laws which he could not answer. Mr.
Eaton - addressed ' the tiewly formed
co-ed political club at the university
upon the . initiative and referendum.
Thirty or 40 university women were
present, largely upper classmen. At the
conclusion one demure Hood River
freshman, apparently . well versed upon
such subjects herself, asked concerning
certain features of the Maine system,
which the legislator, ani auithpr, was at,
loss to answer, -vtJf---
Before long, though, it Is very prob-i
able that Mr. Eaton alone will not be
the object of embarrassing political
questions. Husbands may soon find it
necessary to prepare themselves against
the onslaught of enthuslastlo suffra
gette - wives. At the request of nu
merous women's clubs of the state the
university lias prepared a correspond
ence ' course of citizenship study. The
first lesson la about ready to send out.
Among the questions asked are many
that might stick a number of the mas
culine voters. For Instance, one is this:
, "Mention four or five protective meas
ures that , the Increase of population
and mora complex social conditions have
revealed the need of." Or again,
- "What are the' two most dangerous
forma of democratic government?"
However, these are fully discussed In
one , of the several text books which
the student-suffragists will, study. The
citizenship course is divided into two
'sections,'".:.;':..'. ,. .
The first deals with the private study
of the structure and functions of state
: and federal government A clear idea
- of these is requisite. ,
The second division of the woman's
course deals -with the conditions and
problems of , progress and social wel
fare. "The main portion of this citisen-
' ship study will be devoted to problems
bearing "upon political, economic and
- social progress. Upon these subjects
the university wll furnish speakers to
address the women's clubs periodically
- and the university will also send out
outlines and sets of questions to aid in
the study. Periodical examinations will
lo held to test the knowledge of tha
students." The following questions are
, taken from Hough's "The Attitude of
the Citiren."
. . "What do the responsibilities of citi
zenship embrace?"
"How are the power and responsl
. bllity of a citizen to be judged and how
increased?...
- --"What question, asked of oneself,
'sounds the deep tone of democracy? '
- "Mention two phases or 'forces' of
- social progress. .Enumerate the dlffer
' ent endeavors for the betterment of
community life."
"Specify the sinister and corrupting
; influences that - menace democracy.
Pulnt out how each gets in its work."
. .. "What are the causes of indiffer
ence to the obligations of citizenship?"
"What is the primary object of cdu
. cation and the study of the history and
. Institutions of. our country?" , .
"Upon' what" does the true citizen
-- 1 - , g
base his appreciation of fellow man?"
"What Is meant by individual Inter
ests and how far are they normally re
strained?" "What caused the present tendency to
press restrictions in the Interest of the
general community?"
"Mention four or five economlo or
social relations in which there is need
to cultivate a keen' sense of collective
Interests and to simulate sentiment
which appreciates common Interest and
demands its recognition?" : ' ,
"What is the worst injury the sensa
tional press could cause and what is
tha most-effectlv. protection from it?"
"What causes deter the average
American from meeting manfully the
responsibilities of citizenship?"
"How much Is claimed for the 'voice
of the majority' and how can it be made
more nearly true and just?"

fantastical rag.
Novelty singing and dancing ex

the Dance of the Siren. Here Miss
Goldsmith dances barefoot and her fas

as well as the ragged castaway sailor
man in the ships of Herbert, who ably
assists her in this dance. ; " ;'
Probably the greatest , applause win
ner of the evening was the violinist,
Slgnor Travato; whose eccentricities
with the Instrument called forth re

His correct and lnstantaneous-imita-ttons

made a great hit. '

a cup of tea."

In the same, breath with which she ac
knowledges your lntroduatlon. :
"O, It is so good to have someone to
talk to, for I am beginning to feel so
awfully homesick. That feeling always
comes at holiday time. We have such
wonderful Christmas celebrations In
England and what a great day of feast
ing and drinking and calling Is. New
Years. O, bow I shall miss It all. "
''And then, too, it is very very hap.
this going about so much, and here in
America, two performances a day ah,
It is very hard."
"And does the work pay? Do you
find the game worth the candle?": I
asked. w ,
A "big" serious look took possession
or her face ana she oeeiared with all
seriousness, "I would not give It. up far
hundreds of. thousands of dollars" and
then with a merry twinkle In her eyes
"Of course I never saw so much money,
but I'm sure I wouldn't no matter how
big 'the sum. - - ,
"It is my life .J love it There Is
'something" within that makes ub do
things and it was that 'something" that
put me on the stage. My father and
mother were bitterly opposed to my
chosen profession, but I had a dear good
aunt who has helped 'me. My beginning
was six years ego and now I have my
dear, clever husband."
And who will deny that he Is clever,
the "fresh, penniless Englishman" who
works with Miss Hamilton in their
little skit? .'. : ' :
" ''But listen, and I will tell you my
secret; it is just two words grand
opera. Yes, I really can sing, and an
eminent French master told me that If
he could have me for three years my
'Butterfly' would be incomparable. Isn't
that wonderful? . O, I get so excited
whenever I talk about It. My husband
has written a good deal of muslo and
so we expect to leave the tago very
soon; he to write and I to study, and if
I ever have the good fortune to visit
your city again, I trust it will be in
opera. ' . "
Rears End of World Tour.
"This, though; has been a wonderful
trip and when we reach San Franclso
next week we will have been almost
around tha world. Yes, tvb left London
last July,' going from there to Paris,
Marseilles, Port Said, Columbo, then to
all the great cities of Australia and
from there to Africa, and let me tell
you that I adore Africa, the people are
so appreciative and so kind. In Port
Said I was positively fascinated with
the women so picturesque in their
veiled faces and flowing frocks. But
Madeira that is fairyland. The streets
are so tiny , and narrow and the walls
are all covered with the most wonderful
flower laden vines and instead of auto
mobiles one goes about drawn by oxen.
O, it is wonderful I want to go back
there some time."
"In yonr busy life you must miss the
activities of outdoor life so dear to the
English woman," was suggested.
"I do, more than I can tell you. I am
very fond Of everything outdoors, but
most of all I love horseback riding. It
Is my favorite sport and when I am at

home in London I ride every day, usu
ally from two untlj, four, for there we
don't have any matinees. I brought my
habit over with me, but I left It In New
York, because I found I had So time
for anything except work, work, work in
this country. '"
"And besides you would hardly believe
It if I told you how many requests we
havo to give of our time and talent for
charity. ,
"And do you know that if I gave away
all my clothes that are asked for either
in person or by mall- well, I wouldn't
have any left. Girls think actresses'
dresses grow on trees, I verily believe!
Sometimes they are little home girls and
again they have stage .aspirations, and
these I always want to help, for I be
lieve in the stage as a profession. It Is
splendid, interesting work with oppor
tunity for advancement if one has talent,
and as for the immoral tendencies, there
is no more that is bad on the stage
than anywhere else no more bad wom
en. It la Just this they are before the
publio eye, their word and action is
known to the publio, while with people
in private life it Is not so."
