Going to Prizefight Caused the Mix-Up Play at Lyric Hinges on Xapaa From rath of XactKud of Michael Brady Musical. IT ambers Attractive If Michael Brady had not fallen from grace and gone to the prize fight, there would not have been a mix-up, and if there had not been a mix-up there would have been no bogus bishop, and If there had been no bogus bishop there would have been no "Who Is Who," with which the Iyric company la entertaining its patrons this week. Billy Onslow Is Michael, with a ten dency for slippers anil shirt sleeves, who has made his money out of oil, and Tommy l.aKose, Is a fight fan who impersonates the bishop. There is trouble aplenty with everybody mixed up in it. 1'orolhy Raymond is Mr. Brady, gowned In quite the latest Parts fashion as were Edna Marble and Rae Fox, tto say nothing of the Rosebuds who wore some especially . preiiy rrocKs. ur the musical num bers the favorite was easily "My Bon me laaale, ung In Scotch costume ty Miss Fox and the chorus.

Paris, March 3 1:A viator Garalx, wub ntna passengers, reached an alti tude of a mile here t'today and re mained aloft for-64 minutes. Beauty Hint. "When I use that preparation," said a woman on one or the other side of 40, "some one always tells me how well I look and adds that she never saw my complexion so clear and white. So, naturally, if I have, not been using it for a. while, I resolve never again to forego its use.". Tb High Cost of Living. In my presence some time ago a mid dle aged man asked a young man this question: "Why don't you get mar ried? Are yousafraJd of the high cost of living?" "No, I am afraid of the cost of high living," answered the bachelor. What a lot of truth there is m that reply. It isn't the actual liv ing which costs so dearly, but It Is the accessories of living. m It Is not really the food that costs more than formerly, but the package in which the food is distributed. I discussea" this subject recently with a well known grocer as we stood gazing out over his big establishment. He called my attention to a saleswoman who at that moment was wrapping up a cake. "Observe," said he, "that she first places In the box a sheet of par affined paper; then she places the ake in wiUi much care, covers ft with another sheet of the paraffined paper. closes the box and wraps It altdna still more paper and ties it securely It is the. 8ame with almost every article purchased nowadays. When I first started in business people came in for a loaf of bread .and as likely as not they carried it away 'in their hands without any wrapping. Now they ex act that the bread be wrapped and sealed as soon as it Is baked and then wrapped again when purchased. All foodstuffs or nearly all are distributed In sealed cartons and then wrapped; and, small as the Item of cartons and wrappers may seem, they all count in the final cost. .Who will not say that the present way is the better way, but it does have much to do with the in creased cost of living, of which people are wont to complain. Tha Opera Xa tha Thing. All signs point to the opera this week. A full block oT the displav win dows in one of the big Fifth street shops Is this week devoted to a most ravishing display of fancy evening gowns and wraps, slippers and silk hosiery, gloves, Jewelry, hair orna ments and all the other exquisite things which the fashion makers have evolved this year with which to please and adorn milady. In this same shop lectures are being given on operas by a well known Portland musician. "Aida" was given Monday; this afternoon "Tosca" is being explained and to morrow afternoon there will be an ex planation of "Parsifal." The big Jewelry shop at the corner or Washington and Broadway Is devot ing one or Its windows to a display of lovely Jewelry for the opera along with pictures of some of the stars in hand- OPENING HERE THURSDAY PagUacci" and "Cavaleria Buaticana' Bi?

For the children's lunch, or for the home table, nut cookies are delicious and easily made. Rub to a cream one pound of light brown sugar and one cupfjil of butter and lard mixed. Add two well beaten eggs and one cupful of sour milk Into which a rounded teaspoonful of soda has been dissolved. Add a cupful of nut meats and flour enough to make a dough sufficiently stiff to roil out. Rflll thin, cut in circles or fancy shapes, place on a well greased pan and bake In a quick oven for four or five minutes. If you wish, you may add currants or raisins, or even citron, to make richer cakes. Japanese Lunch Cloths ana Hapkins. If you are fond of blue and white combinations you will revel in the new shipment of the Japanese blue and white lunch cloths with napkins which are this week being shown in a number of patterrfs at a popular Fifth street shop. The designs include the bamboo, daisy, maple leaf, cherry blossom an& chrysanthemum. The lunch cloths vary In size and In price and the napkins to match are but five cents each. If the sizes and shapes of tt(e pieces in stock are not just what are needed. thenapkins lend themselves admirably to a "patch" arrangement, the little squares being held together with a loose briar stitch, thus bureau and buf fet scarfs of beauty and worth may be evolved. . Exit Moths. The big corner drug store on Wash ington street has a new preparation for preventing moths. It is a flaky mixture of red cedar and napthalene crystals. It comes in boxes or in bulk, and is said to be a sure preventative against the little insects that are sure to play havoc with furs and woolens, if once they are allowed in one's ward robe. This preparation may be sprin- Kled freely among the garments and they should then be tied securely in paper and placed in a cool, dark place. Hot Ugly Ducklings. I wonder where the : expression ugly duckling"' came from, surely not from ugly little ducks. If little ducks are just the dearest things you ever saw, take a peep into the Third street window of a big book store and see the two mother ducks and their Roose- veltlan families. Thy have real feath ers and are swimming on a wonderful glass lake. This is a treat for the kiddies. A Bubble Party. ror cnuaren notrung causes more fun than a .soap bubble party. Upon each side of a ribbon used to divide the room, range big bowls of soap suds In which a little glycerine has been mixed to add brilliance to the bubbles. As each -takes her turn at the bubbles blowing, she attempts, by means of the fan with which she has been provided, to waft her bubble across the border line indicated by the ribbon. If she succeeds, she is given a ticket which entitles her to a "try" at the "mystery bag" which, has been prepared before hand and which contains all sorts of odd little prizes. When the children' are tired of blowing each takes her turn at drawing from the bag, being first blindfolded and asked to find the Hector Dufranne, Edmond Warery and Henri .Scott, three of the big voices of the Chicago grand opera company, heard in "Parsifal," have arrived in Portland, and .are at the Multnomah hotel resting up for the big production next Friday night at the Orpheum. Mr. Dufranne is accompanied by his wife. This famous French operatic artist sings the role of Klingsor in the great Wagnerian masterpiece. The company passed through Port land yesterday tn route from San Francisco to Seattle and Thursday morning they will be here again for the opening of the series that evening, when "Cavaleria Rusticana" and "Pag- IVaccl", will be the double bill, with the gre"fct Titta Ruffo as Tonio. Port land was the only Pacific northwest city to secure the booking of "Pars! fal," and as it is not produced in Seat tie, uurranne, Warery .and Scott con cluded to spend their leisure time in Portland. Mary Garden will pass through Port land this afternoon oif the Shasta Lim ited for Seattle. In the Portland series she is booked to sing "Tosca" Satur day night. The seat sale for the entire scries is now on at Sherman, Clay & Co., and from the way . reservations are made It appears that the Chicago company win De singing to capacity houses a every one of the four performances. Intense interest is centered in th opening performance because of Titta Ruffo s appearance in "Pagliacci,' wnen ne win sing the ramous pro logue. As keen interest is indicated In "Pagliacci" because of the immense magnitude of the production, as well as for the big artists that will be pre sented I-riday night. the baturday matinee is arousing enthusiasm because Aida is regarded as one or the most beautiful opera ever written, and in k the Swedis mezzo-soprano, Julia Claussen, will be featured.

Sammy Jay was excited. Every one who heard him knew that, and every body who was anywhere near heard him. They would have had to be stone deaf not to have. Sammy is Just like some people when he gets Just a little excited he begins to talk in a loud voice. The more excited he gets, the louder he talks. By and by, when he gets very much excited, he screams. That is what he was doing this beauti ful spring morning, screaming as no one ever heard him eeream before. In deed, he was so excited that his tongue couldn't go fast enough and tripped over his words and mixed things up so that no one could make out what he was trying to say. die came flying out of the Green Forest, flying as fast as he could make hla wings .go, and screaming at the top of his lungs. He saw Jimmy Skunk coming down the Lone Little Path and flew to meet him. "He's a stranger, and he's black!" creamed Sammy. "Who's a stranger and who s black?' asked Jimmy. "And he's got great big claws in his mouth !""Continued Sammy. Jimmy -Skunk stopped short and stared very hard at Sammy Jay "Say that again," said he. But just then Sammy caught sight of Peter Rabbit down by his dear Old Briar Patch. "Oh, I must tell Peter:" he screamed. "Peter! Peter Rabbit He's there! He's bigger than Farmer Brown's boy and he walks" And all the time he was screaming this long before he w-as anywhere near the Old Briar Patch. Jimmy Skunk was still staring after him and scratching his head in a puz zled kind of way, when along came Unc' Billy Possum. I'nc' Billy grinned as he looked over toward the Old Briar Patch. "Mistah Jaybird s done gone crazy, said he. "He's done gone crazy In his haid. Whoever heard of anybody With great big claws in his mouth?" Now Peter could make no more sense of what Sammy was saying than could Jimmy Skunk and Unc' Billy Possum. "Who walks, Sammy Jay? Don t most people walk : w liat got into you. Sammy Jay?" demanded Peter. But Sammy couldn t keep still long enough to answer questions, and off he flew toward the Smiling Pool in search of Billy Mink and Jerry Aluskrat and Grandfather Frog, and as he flew he still screamed in the same excited way, and Peter heard something about Itebels Mink Spanish Vessel.

He straightway started to hunt yp Jimmy Skunk to see if Jimmy knew what It meant, and half way down the Lone Little Path he met Jimmy. With him was Unc' Billy Possum. Peter's eyes were very wide open with wonder, and the first thing lie said was: "What's the . matter with Sammy Jay?" Jimmy Skunk grinned and Unc' Billy shook his head sadly, though if Peter had looked sharply lie would have seen a twinkle In Unc' Billy's eyes. "Poor Sammy Jay," said Unc' BUly in the mournf ullest tones. "Poor Sammy Jay. He's foolish in his haid, Peter. He's foolish in his haid." "Oh!" cried Peter. "Do you really think so. Unc' Billy? I thought he was just terribly excited." Unc' Billy winked at Jimmy Skunk as he said: "Ah don' know about the excitement, Brer Rabbit, but when peo ple talk about great big ciawg in somebody's mouth. Ah cert'nly think there is something the matter. If fou ask me. Ah think Brer Jay done gone crazy." " "Poor Sammy Jay." said Peter to himself, as lie hopped away to find out what other people thought. "Poor Sammy Jay! I guess I'nc' Billy must be right and lie really is crazy. Ha can't talk straight, so he must V crazy." And all the rest of that day Peter told every one he met that Sammy Jay had gone crazy.
