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.

Last year 400 youngsters were made
happy by gifts from the Volunteers,
' and plans are being made to care for

The same kind of present will be
made each child, for the reason that
Adjutant Jessie Starks believes differ-

. "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

Y. W. C. A. CLUBS FIND

"""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. Onej siok mother
with four small children entirely de-

A well known local family much inter

through the association the names of 30
poor children, who would otherwise

a recitation entitled "A Soft Spot in

locked within a prison cell and was
written by Annie Hamilton Darnell. The
Rev. Benjamin Young will give a short
Christmas prayer.
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.

Written for The Journal,
By Graham Smith.
New York, Dec. 21. 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.

The writer had tha good fortune to
be received in "Milady's" boudoir after
a matinee performance, and watched
with Interest and curiosity the oblitera
tion of stage illusion while discussing
the play and the character of "Mind-the-Palnt-Girl."
But that Irresistible smile did not
vanish.
"I enjoy my work In this play more
than any other in which I have ap

peared,"- said the actress, "because It
gives me a wider scope for the interpre
tation of emotions. Few realise bow
much mora difficult It is to play com
edy than tragedy, and yet the papers
have commented most surprisingly upon
the favorable impression X-created in
newly developed powers along serious
lines." u-V---V;.:.!U--''.'V :'.' i
There is still another surprise In this
play. 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. '::..; -' i. ;-. ',-. -v-v '..
' tk X.ov Witt tha West.
"Oh, dear me, yes! The audiences of
'tha coast', are like old friends and 1
am always warmly-received there. 1
believe it is the glorious climate that
keeps everyone so youthful and when
my first wrinkle appear I am going to
buy a place and make my headquarters
in . 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 who knowst Perhaps thera may
be plana for a theatre of her own soon.
And why not?
: But Miss Burks was noncommittal
"Recreations? Oh. I dress doila for ba
zaars, approve saleable wares which
bear my name, and write recommenda
tions for toilet requisites." This was
said with a merry twinkle. "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."
