Maeterlinck's "Uninvited Guest," or "The Inrtuder," was the subject for dis cussion at yesterday's meeting of the literature department of the Portland Woman's club, of which Mrs. John M. Scott is chairman. Dr. C. H. Chapr man delivered the address and in the course of his remarks he commented upon the depressing atmosphere of the play, attributing this quality to the fact that Maeterlinck's view was some' what embittered on account of his fail ure to believe In the immortality of the soul. The speaker further com mented that this, morbid, hopeless be lief was becoming alarmingly prev alent among the studious young people of the day. To substantiate this he quoted well known educators who de clare" that young people are Inclined to unbelief as never before. Dr. Chap man said that any belief that win not bear mature thought and investigation is not worthy serious consideration. He said that the older he grew the more confidence he felt in the belief of the immortality of the soul and that it took such men as Henri Berg son to counteract the influence of such people as Maeterlinck and finally bring to people some degree of assur ance in the fact of the immortality of the soul.

"If you think you are not doing as well as you should, if you haven't made what strikes you as decentvprog- ress after you have been at work some time," said a man to me lately, "I think the proper way is to study the situation carefully and decide what particular factor is keeping you back. That's what I did a year ago. I wasn't satisfied with my showing. And when got straight at the matter I found that with me it was drink "Understand me. I'm not what is called'a drinking man. I don't think I ever got pie-eyed in my life; and I was always at my desk on time. "But I used to spend a good deal of money treating other men and drinking more than I really cared for myself. It kept me up late, loafing around, hav ing on round of drinks after another, and the next morning 1 wouldn't feel up to the mark wouldn't be able to do my best work, couldn't think as quick ly or act as Bmartly. And I quit. I take a glass of wine or a schooner of beer with dinner, and that's all. And this year I've come a good bit closer to the top than I ever did before. I've saved more money and I've had Just as good a time!" Most of us have some factor that retards our success. Sometimes it's lack of confidence, or maybe we think we "know It all." One girl will al ways be tardy. Another will not take real Interest In her work. One girl I know did herself a lot of harm by making little 111-natuQd remarks, repartees that left a smart behind. She was clever at it, ana rather prided herself on her retorts, but though people laughed they didn't like it, and she lost an excellent opportunity as private secretary because she couldn't refrain from picking up her boss when he gave her an opening. Study yourself as you would a prob lem in mathematics and - get at tht root of whatever is your besettlDg sin in business. If you have the gump tion to find and to correct it, you've taken a long stride toward ultimate success. No sooner bad Winsome Bluebird finished telling how Ol Mistah Buzsard warms his toes on the chimneys of the houses in the far away south than Peter Rabbit was full of questions about other friends who . had been spending the long winter In the land of sunshine. ' "Where is Little Friend the Song Sparrow? he asked eagerly. i Little Friend of All is not very far away, he replied, "'in fact, I tnmic he will he here in a few days, Peter. You See, Little Friend loves the Green Meadows and the Smiling Pool so much that he cannot bear to go any farther away than he has to. I gUess he feels just as I do. And so he doesn't go way, way down south as some do, but Just far enough to be comfortable and to be sure that he will be able to get enough to eat. I heard him -singing only a few days ago, and he said to tell his friends up here that he Is on Ms way." ' My, but I'll ba glad to hear him again," said Peter with a sigh. "Some how l always feel better when I hear the voice of Little Friend. I hope nothing will happen' to him on the way." 'Oh, I guess not, replied Winsome Bluebird. "You see, everybody loves him so that nobody wants to harm him. He hasn't any beautiful suit. He's just the plainest little fellow. I guess he is just loved because why because he's always so cheery and lovable." "Yes," said Peter "I guess that's the reason. It must be oeautirui io De loved like that. I suppose you've seen Cheerful Robin this winter." "Oh. my, jes! Cheerful and I have been together a great deal this winter He's coming right along, and if I don't watch out and get about my busi ness Mistress Spring will be making him her herald instead of me. He looks lust as fine as ever, and he really is very well and In splendid spirits, considering the hard time he has had ever since he left here." , "What do you meanT Doesn't Cheer ful find enough to eat down south?" demanded Peter, pricking up his long cfi.rtt "Plenty, plenty!" replied Winsome Bluebird. "It's the way people treat him down there. Men and boys are altogether too fond of Cheerful." Peter looked up quickly to see if Winsome was Joking, but be didn't seem to be.

The Taffetas Yoga. Few fashion talks are complete without referring to the taffeta vogue. ! That it is a vogue Is Undeniable, the material being used for all sorts of gowns and for many types of wraps. PERSONAL MENTION 4- a kind of sorrowful look, as if think ing of the hard time Cheerful .Robin had had made him feel bad. "If they are so fond of him I should think that Cheerful would have the best kind of a time," said Peter. "They are fond of him In the wrong way," replied Winsome sadly. "They are fond of him to eat, and Cheerful has to be watching out all the time for dreadful guna. I wish he had come along up with me. 1 won't feel quite easy until I see him. Don't you think guns are dreadful things, Peter Rab bit?" "Yes. Indeed! The most dreadful things in all the world," replied Peter promptly. "But I didn't suppose that Cheerful Robin ever had anything to fear from them. I don't see what he goes down south for. If that is the way they treat hlrn." "He has to get enough to eat," re plied Winsome Bluebird, "Just as I do. If it wasn't for that we wouldn't eiiner of us go, because you inow we love the Green Meadows and tho Smiling Pool and tlse Old Orchard so. Now, I have sat here gossiping with you Just as long as I can. I must be spreading the glad news that Mistress Spring is coming." "I'll help you," said Peter happily, and made ready to start right away for the Green Forest. Call Police eacons.

' Whitman Is Sentenced. Eugene, Or., March 21. An Indeter minate term in the state penitentiary of from one to ten years was the sen tence given Kben J. Whitman, of the Mohawk valley, who was found guilty by a Jury one day last week of crim inal assault upon his little daughter. His attorney says an appeal will be taken. Beauty Hint. The "grand opera" complexion pow ders are now available at the toilet goods department of a big' Fifth street shop. The "grand opera" per fumes will be remembered as having made an enormoua-hit inPortland last fall and now this clever French man ufacturer is offering toilet waters, soaps, complexion powders and all tho other thing that women love, all of a very high grade of excellence and each carrying the delicious pungent odor of the "grand opera" perfumes. Corset Xiore. Tho old saying that "fine feathers make fine birds" might well be changed for present day requirements to, "fine corsets make fine ladies," for probably never before have corset entered Into a woman's warbrobe to such an extent and with such Import ance as at the present time. One must have a new model at least twice a year if . one Is to be counted In the running; and alas the day of one dol lar corsets or even three or four dol lar ones are past. Yesterday I wts shown a marvelous new creation ! of the corset maker's brain. It was formed entirely of rubber webbing and was devoid of either laces j or bones. One simply steps into it and then pulls it up a few inches above the waist line, for corsets are now only a matter of below the waist ljne. This "step-in" affair looked so simple that I must confess a shock when tho saleswoman told me that the ptjice was something more than twenty dol lars. The new Tango corsets are cut away in front and have insets I of heavy rubber webbing which enables one to do all the Intricate Argentina steps with grace and comfort. An other model' which extends to tho knees laces around the thighs with rubber strings. Startled Washington. You will not wonder that the heads turned and turned as she passed tha length of Washington, when I tell you what she had on and did not. To be gin with, her frock was extremely and unusually slit and you know tht Is considerable, for we are used to slit skirts. Visible or, to state it more exactly, exposed through the slit were hose of a brilliant scarlet silk, and upon each well snaped ankle glittered a brilliant anklet above scarlet Morocco pump. Besides thl' she wore but few got farther In their gaze. The Season's Posies.

Wooley Baldbg Powter Faicfts N THESE days of high food prices Cer tain individuals are again beginning the howl: "We eat too much. Bad health, bad debts, and bad temper are all laid to an overconsumptioni of food. Aa a nation we are blamed for gluttony, and again the economical French housewife Is held up to view with her eternal pot of soup simmering on the back of the stove. j I That economical French housewife and her pot of soup! Let's dispose of her first. How, may I ask, is tho modern housewife going to keep a pot of soup simmering all day on the back of a mod ern gas stove, without a gas bill that will make the modern house husband "say things" eh? j Who wants soup, anyway, with a foundation of a bit of bone, left-over meat scraps, decayed celery leaves, and any other odds and ends or leftovers ;not good enough to eat in any other form? j . Who wants to live on soup, at that? And when one takes a look at j the anaemic little French kiddies, and the lack of any little French kiddies at: all, who wants to emulate French economy along that line? j The French cook may be able to make sawdust palatable, and to make us think We're getting something really good, because a tasteful sauce has been poured over it; but if she doesn't give us nourishment, as well as taste, what's the use of ber economy? ' Are the people In the United States eating too much for their own good? T.onk'at the children In the public schools of the poorer districts. Eyery year their little bones seem to be-more prominent, their eyes bigger and more wistful. It's been discovered that, a large proportion of them don't even get any breakfast at home, so that women's clubs have banded together to furnish school breakfasts to these ill-nourished little ones. i Get out early in the morning at 4:30 and 5 o'clock and look at the imen with their dinner pails starting for work.
