:X 5 Mahogany colored velours de lalne
! used for the modish coat and skirt
'costume here pictured. Several nota
ble new touches are In evidence in this
, design, and it is one that combines chic
and good taste. ,
( The coat runs rather short In front,
with a line sloping diagonally to the
back, but no appearance of awkward
ness U noticeable, for the vest of
chamois-colored broadcloth that ex-
; tends below the front lends novelty
and grace to the cut.
. The right front Is cut with a rounded
tab at the neck to button over the fur
collar; and another at the bottom of
- the coat buttons further; over, with
Just a glimpse of the chamois vest
showing at the bust. The sleeves are
straight and three-quarter length, set
' " Into extended armholes and given a
-broad cuff of fur.. The back of the
coat has a short belt section mittoned
- across a high waist line and the but
1 tons "are covered with self material.
The skirt, made with a high waist
line and gathered across the back, has
- two horizontally run tucks started sev
eral Inches below the waist In front
and covering a space of some 12 inches
across. These are left free at each
end so that soft, folds of drapery fall
" toward the sldett below the hips.
Skunk, coney, fox, moufflon, or vi
cuna, are all furs that will look ex
ceedingly well with this particular
model, or in other colors, of course,
other furs will look better.
' One of the amethyst shades. should
be most attractive with collar and
cuffs, of smoke color moufflon or of
civet cat, while a dark bottle green
could be most e'fffctively trimmed with
the r-amy ytllow vicuna or with nat
ural raccoon. Blue and Krays always
take dark furs best, anil skunk is
probably the best.of all of these.

Political Science Club Klection.
The annual business meeting and
election of officers of the Woman's
Political Science club was held yes
terday afternoon in the library. There
was a large attendance and the re
ports of the officers showed the past
year to have been a very active and
Interesting one. The meetings have
had an average attendance of 35.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President, Mrs.
Edith B. Rockwell; first vice president,
Mrs. Josephine Sharp; second vice
president, Mrs. Frank I-cith; corre
sponding secretary, Mrs. Anna M.
Points; recording secretary, Mrs. H. C.
ITtOff; treasurer, Mrs. B. A. Whiting;
auditor, Mrs. Anna Fulton.
1-ovejoy, general secretary of the na
tional child labor committee. Requests
for literature have kept the commit
tee's office busy and some 19,000 pam
phlets have been distributed Eince the
first of the year.
Mr. Lovejoy accounts for this rising
tide of interest partly by the fact that
next Sunday and Monday are Child
Labor days, when several thousand
clergymen ant; teachers will wish to
be prepared to speak intelligently on
tlie subject of child labor. Further
Mr. Lovejoy says that the national
child labor committee Is this winter
taking part In 3 0 active legislative
campaigns, and a large number of pam
phlets are needed by local organiza
tions in these 10 states.
"There is an Increasing demand for
facts rather than sentiment," he con
tinued. "The committee has always
based its reports on facts gathered by
expert investigators, but it has not al
ways been possible to get them clearly
before the public, without a sugar
coating of emotional appeal. We are
now waiting impatiently for the day
when this lively interest In facts will
be expKpssed in a larger membership
of the committee and more general In
terest in the enforcement of such child
labor laws as already exist."

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS

Chatterer Grows Too Curious.
By THORNTON W. BURGESS.
(Copyright, 1914, by J. G. Lloyd.)
Everybody knows how curious Peter
Rabbit is. He is forever poking his
wabbly little nose in where it has no
business to be and as a result Peter
Is forever getting into trouble. When
ever Chatterer the Red Squirrel has
heard a new story about Peter and
the scrapes 'his curiosity has got him
into Chatterer has said that Peter got
no more than he deserved. As for
himself, he might be curious about a
thing he saw for the first time, but he
had too much sense to meddle with it
until he knew all about it. So Chat
terer had conte to be thought very
smart, quite too smart to be caught in
a trap at least to be caught in an
ordinary trap..
Now, a great many people manage
to make their neighbors think they
are a great deal smarter than they
really are, and Chatterer is one of this
kind. If some of his neighbors could
have peeped into Farmer Brown's corn
crib the morning after Farmer Brown's
boy found the tell-tale corn cob so
carelessly dropped by Chatterer they
would have been surprised. Yes, sir,
they would ha-e been surprised. They
would have seen Chatterer the Red
Squirrel, the boaster, he of the sharp
wits, showing quite as much curiosity
as ever possessed Peter Rabbit.
Chatterer had come over to the corn
crib as usual to get his daily supply
of corn. As usual he had raced about
over the great pile of yellow corn.
Quite suddenly his sharp eyes spied
something that they hadn't seen be
fore. It was down on the floor of the
corn-crib quite near the door. Chat
terer was sure that it hadn't been there
the day before. It was a very queer
looking thing, very queer, indeed. And
then he spied another queer looking
Superintendent of Schools L. R. Al
derman has received an announcement
from the bureau of education of the
interior department to the effect that
uncle Sam is searching for all the old
Scottish and English ballads extant in
the I nited States.
"Anyone who knows any of them
or variations of them, will please com
municate with the bureau," reads the
notice, "because the rapid changes in
conditions means that they soon will
be lost unless collected now."
In Great Britain it has been learned
that there were 305 of the old bal
lads. Many of these were "Imported"
to this country during colonial days
and have since been carried through
out the length and breadth of the land
and handed down from parent to child
for generations. In some Instances It
has be"en ascertained that the text
lias been changed slightly to meet lo
cal conditions, and these variations
are looked upoa as valuable by the
nation's officials song collectors.

Rose City Park Association.
The Rose City Park Parent-Teacher
association held a highly interesting
session last evening, the first evening
gathering of this association, which
was addressed by Jifdge Gatens of the
juvenile court. In the course of his
remarks the Judge emphasized the fact
that it is the parents' duty to look after
their children; that they need not ex
pect it all to be done "by the school
teachers. He declared that the need
of a juvenile court is the outcome of
lack of parental responsibility and that
if each parent in Portland did his duty
mere wouiq soon be no juvenile court.
Following his address an opportunity
was given for the parents and teachers
to ask questions. Much interest cen
tered on the motion pictures and Judge
Catens assured the parents that a
large percentage of all boys and girls
who came Derore tne juvenile court
confessed that they had gotten their
ideas rrom the motion picture show

voice Inside of Chatterer.
"But I want to see what they are
and find out all about them,'' Bald
Chatterer.
"No good ever comes of meddling
with things you don't know about,"
said the small voice. -
"But they are such queer looking
things, and they're not alive. They
can't hurt me," said Chatterer.
Nevertheless he ran back to the pile
of corn and tried to eat. Somehow he
had lost his appetite. He couldn't
take his eyes off those two queer
things down on the floor.
"Better keep away." warned the
small voice inside.
"It won't do any harm to have a
closer look at them," said Chatterer.
So he once more scrambled down from
the pile of corn, and little by little
drew nearer to the two queer things.
The nearer he got the more harmless
they looked. Finally he reached out
and smelted of the smallest. Then
he turned up his nose. "Smells of
mice," muttered Chatterer, "Just com
mon barn mice." Then he reached out
a paw and touched it. "Pooh!" eaid
he, "it's nothing to be afraid of." Just
then he touched one of the little wires
and there was a sudden snap. It
frightened Chatterer so that he scur
ried away. But he couldn't stay away.
That snap was such a funny thing, and
it hadn't done any harm. You see he
hadn't put his paw in at one of the
little holes or It might have done some
harm. Pretty soon he was back again
meddling with those little wires on
top. Kvery once in a while there
would be a snap and he would scamper
away. It was very scary and great
fun. By and by the thing wouldn't
snap any more and then Chatterer
grew tired of his queer plaything and
began to wonder about the other queer
thing. No harm had come from the
first one and so he was sure no harm
could come from tlie other.

By Abigail Moore.
No woman Is so Ill-favored that she
may not take heart in the assurance
that she has something on which to
build. She may-not .become a beauty
according to any artistic standard, but
she may make herself "perfectly
charming" which, after all. Is more
desirable.
To achieve this "charming" effect a
woman must study herself Impartially,
as though site were another. As a be
ginning, let her look In a mirror and
judge the reflection's possibilities. Is
her hair dressed most becomingly, forv
instance? A slight change is suf fi- j
cient to alter the apparent contour rf
the head even to affect the-- shape of
the features. If the head Is too round
for beauty, the coiffure may be built
out; but first she Bhould be convinced
that this very roundness is not one
of the-foundationH upon which to eitect
her beauty structure.
If the mirror shows a snub nose, she
need not strive to turn it downrward.
Let her rather train her mouth line
and eyebrows to harmonize wtth the
snub nose. I cannot tell her exactly
how to do this, oecai.ee her otner fea
tures must be considered In the plan;
but she will see for herself. T3ie most
that advice on beauty-making or beau
ty-keeping can do is to point, out pos
sibilities and suggest different meth
ods. Each woman must select and ap
ply what appears to be boot for her
case.
Through the medium of dress sh
can do much but througii the mind
she can do more. She can keep posted
on current events. She can- develop a
sincere interest In her fellow beings,
which will bring to lier personalitv
that sympathetic quality which is so
potent a factor in genuine charm. She
can aoiuire poise, control, personal
magnetism which is better than mere
physical beauty, and without which
such boauty Is in vain.

sleeves are banded at intervals with
stripes cut from white cotton to look
like ermine, and a border of the same
finishes the skirt. .
The blaik hat is cone shaped, with a
brim upon which rests a paper snake,
its head running up on the crown. A
tiny toy kitten can be attached to one
shoulder and a top broom to .sweep
the cobwebs from the sky should be
carried In the hand.

Better my Present
State?
I was talking with a friend of mine
recently returned from a business trip
abroad, and she had this to say of the
difference between the workers on this j
side and those on the other.
"Here everyone seems to be working
with one main idea at the back of his
head: 'How jean 1 better myself?" You
can't travel In the cars without Feeing
it in people's faces; you can't talk to
anyone, man or woman, without hear
ing some expression ot it. It is the
well nigh universal American trait.
While over there the main notioii
seems to be: 'How can I remain as I
am?'"
This difference is what makes it so
worth while to be Sn American, One
of the millions grinding away day
after day, often enough it uncongenial
or exhausting labor. The other morn
ing I ws talking with a young girl
who is a cashier in a candy stora. It
was the lunch hour and she was, tak
ing a hasty sandwich with me across
the way.
"I'm going to night school," she told
me. "I mean to do better than this
sort of thing, you know. Thjere s a
big chance for women caterers in this
town, and I'm going In for 'a. good
business training then you'll see."
Don't you find this attitude tnspir-
ln? , -
The person who Is worklnjr in that
spirit has about nine chances in ten
of getting ahead of the person who
simply goes along from day to day
with no h.gh plans for the future.
There is a good deal ofsuff talked
about being content. But when Emer
son advised us to hitch tmr wagon to
a star lie was not preaching content
ment. Not the kind thai in satisfied
to stay where it is and not to strive
for something better, aifyhow, be sure
of that.
Be ambitious. Not vaguely so, but
definitely, with a clear outlook and a
strong determination. Make up your
mind to "better yourself."
