Ar-i sit v Thpp la m i much diversity shown it?mg coats that a model on ordinary lines Is quite lilted out or the commons-place through virtue of contrast. Every conceivable twist is given to cut and every possible trimming . scheme, It seems, Is being- tried out la an effort to effect novelty until the Bimple suggest tlon of the sketch may be offered with out any apologies. .'-'. i. The model Is ; suitable either for a rough worsted or more formal velvet or plush and for daytime or evening wear. The original Is In ox-blood ratine with black fox collar, cuffs and buttons, and a handsome silk braid 'ornament to fasten it Just to show the contrast that exists, some of the most recent models In long coats exploit a,, yolumi nous drapery and have drooping shoul der lines, while others even hint of bouf fancy Just below the hip line. It must be explained In this . connection that : such models, while appropriate for: the all round garment, are, gener ally fashioned of rich materials, such as those of the character of the one illustrated. ' An excellent idea of the newest of draped effects may be gained through a description of a coat that U being designed at one of tho fashionable establishments. Its material is wine and gold embroidered plisse, which,' though rich, Is not .all aggressive as some of the brocades and plushes are, having ; only the. most subdued lustre, with-the gold threads which are very fine, in troduced in such a way as to form an allover design of exceeding delicacy. I . ,-Tnn the back is a straight, narrow panel of plain wine colored silk and Just below tho hips the upper part is pouched to a skirt section. The pouch . lng is done directly over the hips and the opening is diagonal and decorated i with buttons and loops.' Another model that Is finding much favor has a sort of yoke section intro duced between the shoulders and waist- lino, the lower edge of which is graoe fully archd to fall in line with the sleeves Then th neck U ' outlined with fur, aa also the sleeves, the tops ; Of which have been cut in one piece ' with the back panel. Cutaway fronts are modified and re adjusted In endless ways and are, per haps, more popular than the straight ; edges, although ' a happy compromise has the point of intersection very low. THE GLAD CHRISTMAS SPIRIT : . . . How It rVill Be USEFUL AND OTHER GIFTS CHILDREN ' Orders for shoes, stockings and under wear, dolls for the girls and baseball mitts and baseballs for the boys,, with plenty of candy, nuts and fruit will be the good things presented to children who attend the Christmas tree festlvl- " ties to be given Christmas night by the Volunteers of America, The celebra- , tlon will be held at the organization's ball at 287 Ankeny street, beginning at 7:20. Last year 400 youngsters were made happy by gifts from the Volunteers, ' and plans are being made to care for , approximately the same number this a.., year," The same kind of present will be made each child, for the reason that Adjutant Jessie Starks believes differ- "-rnt kinds of presents stirs up envy . and dissatisfaction among , the young sters. ...j. . ........ , . .... . "Last year," she said today, "we gave i wearing apparel and shoes to 163 chil dren that needed them. This year we - expect to make useful presents to some thing over 100. ' Children will receive orders, on a local store for either shoes and stockings or two changes of under 'w wear dependent on which they stand most in need of. The day before Christmas basket din ners will be given away to all poor per ' sons who are known to be in straight ened circumstances.

Y. W. C. A. CLUBS FIND ; PLEASURE IN GIVING """The Biblical admonition to "feed the hungry and clothe the poor" is being literally obeyed by many members of the Y. W. C A., who through their clubs are seeking out some of the sick and . needy of the city to whom they will carry gifts and good cheer on Christ mas day. The association clubs are made up of busy working girls, but al- ' ready they are busying themselves with preparations for providing fdod and clothing, together with candy and gifts ' for some families In Whom they are es pecially interested.

ONE, AT LEAST, VILL ' GET GIFT SHE WS A popular Portland business girl is giving herself a Christmas present for which she long has longed. "I have reached the conclusion," said she, "that the best way in which to make certain that your Chrlstmaa gift will be one to suit Is to buy it yourself. I have always skimped and saved and have spent all my money in buying things for others, while they were buy ing for me, and quite likely none of us were pleased and last year we turned over a new leaf. We decided to each buy our own gifts. v Someone argued that this was not a practical plan, for in most cases no gifts would be bought; but she ex plained that they had a plan in their family an immutable rule that if any one was caught going without Christ mas gifts, as many and as costly as the purse would allow, be or Bhe should bo fined to the limit, and the faintly, in Joint conclave, should buy the gift. 'It works perfectly," said she, "and we are all happy." It seems that she is giving to herself this Christmas a piano. She has a tal ent for music and has taken lessons, but has for sometime been -without a piano, so now she has decided to give herself this most wished for article, ' "It is rather large for my stocking," alio admitted, "both literally and figur atively, but I am purchasing It upon the Installment plan, so I shall have the pleasure not only of-using it but of paying for it throughout the year. Again a skeptical one .demurred as to the wisdom of the plan, but she soon convinced her that It was the best way. If I were to wait until I had the entire amount to pay, I probably would go without the Instrument all my life," said she. "But In this way, I scarcely miss the amount paid each month, and I am perfecting my musical education using all my spare time to this end. r Christmas Notes K YHEnDE AT nnn unu Christmas services will be conducted at St, James' Lutheran church, West Park and Jefferson streets, on Christ maj morning at 7 O'clock.

No one who is the recipient of a personal greeting from the delightful little actress, Billie Burke, can hela but succumb to the witchery of her radiance for, apart from her "crowning glory" real talent and a rare charm are combined to add luster to this "star" of 'the first magnitude.

But that Irresistible smile did not vanish. "I enjoy my work In this play more than any other in which I have ap Man who Shaves will Welcome a Gillette for Christmas ONT hesitate to give him a Gillette because K0STR0PPIN KNOWN THE GILLETTE SAFETY RAZOR COMPANY, BOSTON peared,"- said the actress, "because It gives me a wider scope for the interpre tation of emotions.

Hiss Burke does a "song and dance," in fact, many dances, for she is usually compelled to respond to five and six encores.' ,:. "At first it was decided I should only sing the song, but at one of the re hearsals I accompanied it with a dance which I improvised, and the Idea has proved quite popular. Of course, no one must accuse me of having grand opera aspirations, but 1 hope some day to produce a play of my own. , ' "Yes, it will be a comedy with a touch of pathos and a happy ending, for it is best to leave gladness in the hearts of people as a finale." ; "Now that your New York engage ment has been extended, do you Intend visiting the far west this season?' waa asked.

The JLand of the Golden West' Then tha "Billie Burke beam" came Into evidence and visions of a very -far-off time for the western headquarters gave the interviewer no, immediate cause for the. contemplation , of desertion by the fair charmer. During her stay in New York Miss Burke divides ber time between her town apartment a quaint little doml- cle of Dutch architectural design oppo site the new' library and her country estate on. the Hudson, which she has recently purchased and intends making one of tbe show places in America; for this daughter or jsrin is g-.rwa, wun good taste and decorative ability In no small measure.

"And much of tha time I motor, for X am an ardent fresh air enthusiast," a fact clearly demonstrated in the abundance of good health and spirits. Not many know that It was through the interest Ellen Terry manifested in bringing Miss Burke to the notice of Mr. Frohman that her career waa first established, for in the managerial in sight loomed possibilities at a glance and her rafeld Hbo to a plate occupied by a chosenVfew isnrwi wejll known to theatre aroers. "But I have had to devote long hours tn hard work. for. after all. success is just tha result of 'keeping-at-it-ness, isn't it?," and more radiance' was shed, as Miss Burke bade her visitor adieu with: "Now, dont forget to say I'm a born American -with an Irish lova for comedy and an English love for plum pudding."
