THE OREUOW oui.r JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SATURDAY : EVENING. JANUARY : 17, '1914.
There Is ouch a profusion of rooJei
this seasetr that IV Is difficult to fix
upon one' that i more desirable than
another, and individually is' the only
! saf guide In the matter. Bunched
draperies I are not always so becoming
as straight ones, long sleeves as ef
fective as short or three-quarter
length ones, nor one sort of fold or
-panel as productive of good lines n
.Oe figure as another, but with the
variety that fashion offers now satis
faction in gowning is becoming mere
ly a matter exercising a proper dis
cretion in making a selection, and that
selection I to be expressive of person
ality and! individuality.
The sketch here shown offers an at
tractive, suggestion in a .conservative
. costume of old blue velveteen. -It in
not elaborately fashioned, but keeps
rather to simple lines, making it, in
a way, more pleasing by contrast to
the complicated designs of the mo
ment.: There are long mousouetaire sleev.r
set "into lowered arroholes artd givm
a wrist frill of chiffon ruffling. Thj
blouse fastens at the left side and
has a diagonal line running from Cra
neck, over the bust to the fastening.
.This makes a V-neok and more of tho
chiffon ruffling set In along the edgs
gives' a goft finish.
A broad black satin girdle ".s
wrapped about the high wutet Una
and tied at the left ids under tho
arm in several long loops. y
In the skirt the fastening Is roi
i limed In a direct line with that of I'm
I'louw, with a close row of belf-cov-cred
ball buttons and soutache loops.
The tunic extends pretty c1 belJ1
the hips. aiKl is gathered around its
lower edge aad pouched over the lower
skirt. In bark, a free panel about
i foot wide is hung from the waist
line and extends to. tin; knc-s. where
tlic end In finished with a baud of
OTK'HiHiiin fur. The lower purt of lir
-klrt is quite plain and attiohed to a
fitted lining under the tunic.
A muff to match has u full center
of blue velveteen -bordered with opon
siim and ?. hiiiuU opossum scarf Is
worn with it.

Oriental Jtug Xore.
The very word "Persian" is a syno
nym for opulence, splendor, gorgeous
ness. and "oriental'1 means beauty and
wonder and the magic of the "Arabian
NlffhtS." so jt IsVt in the, least stranpre
tliat from the Alladin'x . cave of the
mystical east' we gather tho treasure
and spoil of the "old masters," for
there ttwo "old musters" in wool n
well ty on canvass, hm nine of the rare
old orients l rugs proVe though the
artist's signatures , are missing or
meaningless.
In a local storehouse of oriental art
I waa given a rare, treat yesterday in
being shown two Of- the marvelous
masterpieces of this . mysterious art.;
One of these was e superb specimen
:r the Royal Senna, a rug always
highly prized by orientals and occi
Vrptala, for their fabric gives to the'
touch the sense of frosted velvet. The
center is a floriated medallion of odd
and sttange designs full of hidden
meanings and standing out like a great,
gleaming, barbaric jewel on a back
ground of solid blue-black, the whole
surrounded with a deep border of
i-seometrlcal designs wrought in vary
ing shades of old rose as beautiful as
tthe rose windows of a cathedral. This
; wonderful object of art Is woven on
'silk.warp and has no less than 1500
.knots to the square inch: truly the
?place for such an art object is in a
; museum.
' Few artists with paint and brush
Vould achieve such -results as re dis
played by the artist, in wool wllo cre
mated the marvelous Royal Kerinan
fwhich I was shown. It is 7 feet 4
.inches long-and 4 'feet 8 inches wide
'and in Its fineness and marvelous col
oring looks like a piece of brocaded
; velvet, so great is its sheen. The
oelors are a marvelous blending of
I softest greens with Just enough dark
coloring to slve . diBtinctlon-rdust .the.
colors that one can easily imagine
. -came from the woods and " fields and
'pardens of the far east. The central
fdesign embodies pairs of glorifed pea
jCocks of wondrous beauty on a back
. ground of flowers and foliage. This
'tug. which contains 750 knots "to- the
square in.ch, is perhaps the -finest thing
i.of the kind ever shown in this country.

To Boll a Ham.
Having broken Into tln realm of
extravagance by the purchase of 'tur
key you may bo inclined to let your
self down easy by buying a whole
ham and if so there is no better way
of cooking th.j treasured morsel than
as follows: Soak the ham over night.
Place it in the large receptacle of the
tireless cooker, with enough warm
water to cover it well and into this
pour about a cupful of pure cider vine
gar, season with few whole cloves.
;i nip of tea, a bayleaf. a lump of
brown sugar, a little, pargtev and
thyme. Place on top of the range until
the ham is thoroughly heated through
und when this is accomplished and the
tireless, radiators are hot, shut in the
tireless and allow It to remain for at
least six or seven hours. When taken
from the liquor, the outer skin should
be sifted over with flour and sugar,
few cloves should be stuck in the
outer rind and the delicious viand
should be placed In a hot oven for a
few moment to brown. Served either
hot or cold this is a dish for an epi
cure. '

MISS EIGHTEEN WANTS A "GOOD SPENDER"
By Edna K.
tor my pleasure.
"Well, there were three good spenders on my list. I really couldn't tell
which I liked best. As I was the prettiest girl in the neighborhood then,
they vied with each other to 'show me a good time.' And I had it, believe
me! For One whole year I was it. Then I had a rival. She was prettier than
I, dressed better than I could afford to, and 'had a way -with her" when it
came to capturing masculine attention.
"My dear, it wasn't three weeks after the girl's arrival before all three
of my good spenders were laying siege to her fickle heart. They spent
money on her even more lavishly than they did on me. To tell the truth, I
don't see where they got the means, for none of the boys had any money
of their own outside of small salaries, and they must have worked their
dads or somebody for the price of theatre tickets and carriages.
"About this time Charlie began making himself conspicuous in our front
parlor.
"I hadn't thought much about Charlie, as a beau. He had never made any
particular bids for my favor. He had a good position, but he wasn't a
spender. He never brought me a decent box of candy in his life. He'd drop
dead If you mentioned violets to him" when they're rated five cents apiece
in the winter time. He never Invited me to the theatre unless somebody
gave him a pass. He never thought of asking me to a dinner downtown
in one of those swell places where you get a thimbleful of something with
a fancy name in exchange for a chec naming a fancy price.
"But there was something awfully nice and awfully persistent about
Charlie, and I actually got engaged to him before I knew it. He didn't even
give me an engagement ring. My folks thought It was awful. They prophe
sied all kinds of dire things. I was on the point of breaking the engagement
once a week. And yet nomehow, we were married.
"Well, say! You neyer can tell how a man will turn out Two of those
first good spenders who were my beaux are married now. They're still
spending, but mostly on themselves, and their wives have to keep the shades
down and pretend they're not at home when the bill collectors call. The
third good spender is the cavalier of the prettiest and most stylish girl in his
set, whoever 'she happens to be.
"As for me, I'm getting fat from sheer contentedness. Charlie Is what
may be called a "good provider.' He's got m.ony in the bank, and when I
buy I have, instructions to get the best, whatever it Is. We don't save at
home to put on lugs outside. He is supporting my mother as well as 'his
own, and I've never yet heard a yelp from him that he's doing too much.
He's the sweetest-tempered, dearest, generousest "
"Oh, well," interrupted Miss Eighteen, with a bored air. "If I wera old

Intention Made Clear at State
Banqi
uet; State and
County Tickets.
That the Prohibition party will
be an active competitor and political
rival of the older parties at the fortn
comiug state elections was made per
fectly clear at the annual banquet
Of the state Prohibitionists held at
the Y. M. C. A. last night.
While a large share of the evening
was devoted to exultation and rejoic
ing at the many "dry" victories
throughout the state during the past
year, most of the eyes, and voices,
too, were turned toward the future.
At the state election next Novem
ber the Prohibition party will put
forth Its own slate for all adminis
trative, offices and will have county
tickets as well. Also it is possible
that it will run candidates for con
gress. The date of the nominating
convention was fixed by the state
committee yesterday for May 5 and
6, at which time about 1000 delegates
will be Jn attendance to choose their
candidates.
Field workers of the party have
secured pledges of support from vot
ers throughout the state, and it is
claimed that they hav already se
cured 20,000 names.
T. & McDaniels acted as toastmaster
at last night's banquet. Among the
speakers were F. W. Emerson of Al
bany, member of tie Prohibition na
tional executive commltteee; th
Rev. Clarence True Wilson, sec
retary of the Church Temper

HINTS FOR GIRLS
By Jessie Roberta. .
To be known as a quick worker is
no doubt a good thing for a girl. Deft
hands, swift movements, absence of
waste action the.se will help a girl to
get on to a certain extent. If shi
is doing piecework they will fatten
her pay envelope for her.
But quick thinking will do more
for her in the long run.
"Do you see that young lady at the
disk there?" asked the man who was
showing me over the big packing es
tablishment I had come to nee. "Wei;,
she only catue to us two months ago
as a typewriter, with a business
school diploma and no previous experi
ence. Now slio is at the head of lir
department, and in line for further
promotion.
"How is it?" he went on.'ln answer,
to my question. "It's beeaiif she can
think, Hiid think quickly. She hadn't
been here two days before she came
lo the boss with a suggestion for sn
improvement in the form letter w;
were using. It shortened the letter,
saving tlrroj that way. anil It had more
of a punch. Next week she had nomc
thing more, up her sleeve. It was a
plan for altering the distribution of
work among the girls, and it saved
more time, and made things simpler.
And whenever there was a chance Hhe
wasthera with both feet. She can't
mane tne Keys riy liKe some of the
girls but when it comes to brain
work she's as quick as greased light
ning." If you study the people with whom
you are working you will he sur
prised to see how few of them really
think. And yet thinking is the one
best paying possession you can cul
tivate.
Almost any one can learn to be a
fast worker, particularly If she sth'KS
to the same Job year after year.
Manual dexterity is largelya matter
of persistence; there must also be
some natural aptitude, but this ap'ti
tude is not uncommon. It's mighty
good as far as it goes, but It doesn't
go far enough unless it's accompanied
by quick thinking.
Don't be afraid to exercise your
mind.

"Little boy," said the minister, "I
hope you do not read those wlckid

"Not me," Teplied the wise young

Mamma Now, lola, you should be
polite and offer grandma a share of
your Christmas candy.
Little lola I would, mamma, if I
was sure she'd be polite and not take

"How far back can you remember,

"Oh, ever so far," replied the little

so little that I couldn't remember
anything."

HeeiltK ejiJBeaaitvi Helps
Transform Thinness Into Slender.
! news."
By Abigail j Moore.
The power, of dress to transform an
uninteresting or homejly woman Is phe
nomenal, though not j generally under
stood. Kmily Stevens, whose graceful
slenderness and charming stag gowni
are the subject of ,mtich comment bas
this to say by way of suggestion.
"One must know hor to werfr clothes,
as well as what clothes to wear. You
may not say, 'Stand straight and throw
your shoulders back If you wish your
gowns to look, well,' because the ram
rod figure no longer IS In fashion. Kach
woman must learn jfrom her mirror
how far she can afford to let out lijr
waist or draw in her hips.
"Certain fabrics add to or detraM
from height; and in the manipulation
of color lies a great secret of softening
hard features and filling In hollows.
An unskilled dressmaker will Insist up
on frills and bouffant effects for a
thin woman, and deck her In figured
stuffs and complicated draperies to
'give her breadtli." Yet every woman
weighing more than 110 pounds is try
ing to reduce.
"A thin neck Is not necessarily un
sightly but for a scrawny neck there
is no excuse. Mausage and cold water
will work wonders. , in the meantime
a bit of tulle or a flower rightly
placed will help.
"The right idea Is to make an asset
out of a liability by transforming thin
ness into slenderness. The former

Chatterer Hits On a Plan at Lat.
By Thornton W. Burgess.
(Copyright, 1314. bysl. G. Lloyd.)
Each time that Chatterer the Red
Squirrel thought himself smarter than
Sammy Jay he found that he wasn't ss
smart as he thought! he was, and this
always made him feel mortified. He
just couldn't admit i even Jo himself
that Sammy was the smartest and yet
here he was every day bringing corn
for Sammy from Farmer Brown's corn
crib, whenever Sammy told h)m to.
and running the risk of being seen by
Farmer Brown's boy, all because he
hadn't been able to think of some wav
to outwit Sammy. Once, after he had
siu li a narrow escape from old Rough
leg the Hawk, he had tried going down
to his storehouse on the edge of the
cornrield, but he had found Roughleg
on watch and had turned back. From
the way Sammy Jay had grinned when
he saw Chatterer cbmlng back Chat-

Roughleg happened to have .found out
about that storehouse, and so been on
watch. j
Now, all this tlmt Sammy Jay was
having a great deal Of fun out of Chat
terer's trouble. Eanh time that Chat
terer thought of a plan to outwit
Sammy hn would find that Sammy had
already thought of It, and a way to
make the plan quite useless. You see,
Sammy used to spend a great deal of
his time when he was alone in the
CJreen Forest pretending that lie was
in the same fix as Chatterer, and then
trying to think of some way out of it.
So it was that Chatterer never could
think of a plan that Sammy hadn't
already thought of, And yet there
was a way to cheat Sammy out of his
fun, though not out of his corn, and it
really was the fun of seeing Chatterer
so worried that Sammy cared moat
about. Sammy had thought of it al
most at once, and it seemed to him
that Chatterer was very, very stupid
not to think of It, too.
"He will think of it some day, and I
don't see any way to upset such a sim
ple plan," said Sammy to himself, and
then fell to studying some new way to
torment Chatterer.
And at last Chatterer did think of It.
It was such a simple plan! Probably
that was why he hadn't thought of it
before. All he had to do was to go
over to Farmer Brown's corn crib at
break of day. before any one in Farmer
Brown's house was awake. Just as be
had been doing, only make two or

The damage done by the high water
was estimated at j from 250,000 to
$350,000. This was exclusive of the
loss sustained by the pulp and paper
company through the loss of its dam
and plant on the Stony river, where
the dam was situated. No lives were
lost so far as known.
President Luke of the pulp and
paper company was trying today to
learn the identity of a man, who, after
telephoning to several towns the news
that the dam' was going out mounted
and rode down the valley, warning iso
