THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 23, 1913. CHRISTMAS CONCERT ' Talented Singers Are Repeat r edly Encored; People Who "i Attended Liberal. By Vella Winner. "Not that which wa give, but what we chare; For the gift without the giver Is bare." Like Sir Launfal, Immortal through v Lowell, or like so many Sir I,uunfaln in r. aearch of so many "Holy Grails," the ?. rood people of Portland, always ready to add still more to their generous giflx ' to those lees fortunHte than themselvoH, . crowded the First Presbyterian church last evening on the occasion of the big Christmas benefit concert, lintened to a program of much more than ordinary merit and beauty, and In turn responded to Dr. John IT.

Bowman waa on the program twice, and each time they responded to an Insistent en core. The splendid, well balanced work done by this aggregation is too well known to need comment. Probably - nothing they did waa more enjoyed than the very attractive arrangement of Car. rio Jacobs Bond's "I Love You Truly." Beautiful solo numbers, several of them of a Christmas character, were . given by Mrs. Delphlne Marx, Sirs. El freda Heller Weinstein, Dom J. Zan, Norman A. Hoose and Stewart McOulre. .Each sang with the usual artistic skill which never falls to characterize their work. The appearance of each of these favor! tea waa greeted with applause and In response to hearty encores each gra- ' clously responded. A delightful feature of the program ""Was the violin solo by Mrs. Lucia Bar ton Olllhousen, who gave an exquisite ly chaste Interpretation of Saint-Saens "The Swan." For an encore she gave a merry little dance number. The great audience was quite taken off its feet by the always brilliantly beautiful sex tette from "Lucia de Lammermoor" (Donleettl), given by the members of the Ad club quartet, Mrs. Weinstein and Mrs. Marx.

In time of war in which the United Stutes shall be engaged the president Is empowered to assign an officer of the army to assume full control of the operation of the canal and all its con nections and appurtenances, and he shall have full control of the govern ment of tha banal lone. If any vessels attempt to pass through the waterway. the officer shall have the authority and right to stop such vessel, providing such act shall be in accordance with the rules of war.

The new Sixth-street family entrance to Portland's great Ger man gasthaus is a mod ern type of old-world architecture that is a foretaste of the Hofbrau-Quelle's interior design. You approach under a gracefully spreading marquise and past through an entrance of wrought-iron gates, on the crest of which is perched Germany' black war eagle. You are then in the outer foyer, with its classical relief wiling and frieze, the walls paneled with Flemish oak, and there is garden seat and a pair of handsome stona jardinieres. Curiosity leads you on through paneled swinging doors and you enter a hall that is decorated much the same as the foyer, and has a handsome carved table over which is hung' a large mirror in a beautifully carved frame. If you are accompanied by a lady, there is a brief wait here while she adds the last touch to her toilet, 4or a lady's costume is brought out strongly in contrast against the antique oak wainscotings of the big dining hall of the Hofbrau - Quelle The popularity of the place it growing every day. The cookery is perfect the service quiet and beyond criticism. The cabaret, with the Hofbrau's German Imperial Orchestra, is on from 3 to ,5, 8 to 10 and 11 to 12 P. M.
