They have a con viction that they've never been given a fair show to claim the world's plaudits. Many a fat hausfrau believes that the stage lost a Bernhardt when she married and began to plan three meals a day for a mere man. Many a moth er sighs as she puts the kiddies to bed thinking how she might have thrilled a great audience with her high notes. More than one middle-aged woman thinks she ought to be writing prob lem novels instead of making out the laundry list. But I sometimes wonder if these wives who bemoan that fate ne'er gave them a chance would really be happier should their husbands demand that they win wordly sue cess instead of expecttrg them to be comfortable at home. 1 have a friend who for years was a successful newspaper and magazine writer. She had written one book which, though It did not prove a "best seller," still sold pretty well. After her marriage a few years ago she continued to write. We thought she did it because she loved the work. and of course we presumed she was happy in her marriage. But one day, when she was very. very tired, she unburdened herself. "I am so tired of writing," she said. "I wish I could stop and just be plain and domestic. I want to be just a woman, like every other woman Just a plain wife and mother, my whole ambition centered in my family. I'd rather cook and sew and wash dishes any day than write stories. I've al ways wanted to be a domestic nobody. tucked away in a safe little haven, the silent partner in my husband's success. I thought marriage would bring me all that, but" She paused and there was a little sob in her breath. "Rut hasn't it?" I asked. "No!" she cried. "I am working harder than ever at writing." "But if you want to stop it, wh7 don't you?" -"My husband won't let me," she answered. "Nobody in his family ever achieved any 'fame,' as be calls it. He married me because he thought I was a celeb rity. He is so proud of his 'talented wife' that he nevers thinks of intro ducing me without adding that I am' "the well-known writer.' Now he in sists that I must write another book. and I know it isn't in me. I wrote the only book I ever can write. . . . He married the writer, not me, and I am the most miserable woman in the world!" And the other day I read of a wom an who seeks divorce, stating in her petition that she can no longer live with her husband because he continu ally nagged her about making herself "something" in the world. "He wants to know why I can't go on the stage or do something public that will give me a name, so he can be proud of me. He says he doesn't want a nobody for a wife," was her plaint. "And how can I, when I'm not built that way?" WOMEN'S CLUBS Portland Woman's Club, Second and fourth Fridays, Women of Woodcraft hall. Tenth and Taylor streets 2 p rn. President. Mrs. C. J.

GROUP OF PORTLAND WOMEN WHO ARE ACTIVE IN CLUB WORK OF VARIOUS KINDS IN ALL PARTS OF CITY URffiS PREPARATION mMH W FOR MMIGHNH It MpfiwP Mrs. Percy V, Pennybacker Forsees Tremendous Im migration Problem, Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 17. Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker, president of the General Federation of Women's clubs, the national organization, deliv ered an address at, the Pfiiiomusian club recently. In rrejp speech Mrs. Pennybacker advised the city's club women to prepare intelligently for eavy immigration as a result of the uropean war. Mrs. Pennybacker asktsd for a new and liberal attitude which could see the good In the immigrant and work to develop it. The value and help to the city clubs obtained from the work of rural women's clubs was empha sized by the peaker in urging an ag gressive campaign for the establish ment of more clubs in the rural com munities. Mrs. Pennybacker, in speaking of the duty of the women toward the im migration question, said. "We are now having a breathing space before the deluge. History shows that great Eu ropean wars ' have always been fol lowed by enormous immigration. Club women can do much In the assimila tion of these immigrants Into Ameri can citizens by developing an Intelli gent attitude toward the foreigner, and Instead of regarding them as unde sirables, to see In them people with ambitions, who want to learn Ameri can ways and civilization. In our plan of campaign we should go to our department of literature and acquaint ourselves with the art, literature and interesting history of these people so that we can more fully appreciate them. We can take to the mothers some knowledge of American home life so that their children, educated in American schools, can' look to their parents for further ducation In th ways of this nation." In speaking of the plan for the es tablishment of more rural clubs, it was pointed out the strength that would be given to the work of clubwomen and of the many new things that could be learned by the city clubs from an as sociation with their fellow members in the rural districts. Art Museum Notes. A striking exhibition of photographs is now open at the Museum of Art. Fifth and Taylor streets, consisting of some 30 prints by Imogen Cunning ham, of Seattle, Miss Cunningham is a young artist who uses her camera with much temperament and expres sive force. A careful interior such as "The Bird Cage" contrasts with the freedom and nrystery of the sparkling print called "Sunshine." London, Dresden and the Missions of Cali fornia have yielded compositions for Miss Cunningham's art. A selection from the Art Association's reproduc tions of drawings completes the walls of the gallery. These are from the sketches of the eighteenth century Frenchman, Watteau. showing the first jottings made for the decorations of French palaces, his studies of cos tume, figures, heads and hands. The Wednesday Art class has begun its winter's work. The first morning's program was a brilliant lecture by Mrs. Ralph W. Wilbur on the general subject of study, Flemish and Dutch art. On Tuesday, at 3:30 is the first lec ture of the art history class of the art school. Miss Putnam will speak on "Egyptian Ornament" illustrated by lantern slides. The classes in drawing, painting and design, continu to increase. GRAY HAIR BECOMES DARK, THICK, GLOSSY Look years younger! Try Grand ma's recipe of Sage and Sul phur and nobody will know. . Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streak ed or gray; also ends dandruff, itch ing scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was ! to make It at home, which Is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Compound." You will get a large bottle for about 50 cents. Every body uses mis oia, famous recipe. because no one can possibly: tell that you darkened your hair, as It does it so naturally and evenly.- You dampen a sponge or soft brush with It and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray nair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and . you look , years , younger.

HEALTH AND Madam Ise'bell Believes That War Will Give America Lead in Beauty Culture and Fashions. By Madame Ise'bell. 4T HE war is going to make a lot I of difference," is an expression that we hear constantly. It undoubtedly will make a lot of differ ence in every branch of activity, and. comparatively speaking, in woman's dress and adornment. For over a century now France has been the originator of all that was im portant in woman's dress and toilet. The art of beauty culture grew up there; the first toilet creams and lo tions werexcompounded in French lab oratories; ISrench silks and laces led the world.and the success of the French industries in the way of com bining the products of their looms caused Paris to be accepted as the ar bitrator of the fashions. French, Uetnodji of Utile Advantage. There have been many attempts to break away from this control, as a rule futile. The Austrians showed that I they could copy models cheaper than the French could produce them, but as originators they have never equaled . the best designers of the French cap ital. The ready to wear trade grew up in America and achieved an enormous and legitimate success here. There is no country where the ready-made gar ments are so smart, durable and well fitting as in America, yet when it nnmoe tn nrrwl 11 ri n individual desiens and originating fashions, women show j a marked preference for French i models. What is the reason for this?. No matter what the outcome or how long the duration of the European war France for the moment is out of reck oning as a producer anu exporter 01 woman's apparel and toilet articles. What country will take its place? My answer to this question is Amer- j ica. - My trip abroad this summer was for the purpose of finding out at first hand Just what the French had done the past three years in the direction of ; beauty culture, what advances they j had made in dermatology and what im- j provements, if any, they had made in ; the preparation of toilet goods. For- j tunately, I arrived in Paris before the j war and was able to discuss and In-! vestigate these subjects before the sad ; event that emptied the country of its i ablebodied men and closed the shops i and factories. The upshot of my in-; vestigations was that I found nothing j that was of use to the ' American ! woman. I The French woman is an exotic type, j Her features are irregular, the com-j plexion in most cases sallow and thick, i the eyes, while brilliant, are not large, j and the figure lacks curves and round- , ness. Yet. with all these deficiencies, ( she represents a charming type of ; Woman, and in many cases gives the j illusion of beauty. ' The reason for this is that she un derstands her type and works to ex-! press that only. All the extravagant! beauty culture the tinted! powders,! colored wigs, drastic reducing' treat ments, the slinky walk and so on that has grown up since mj last visit to France has been in the direction of developing the exotic type of the , French women, not In improving the j appearance of women in general. , The American woman is the exact antipode of the French woman. In spite of the mixture of races in this j country, the type of feminine beauty ; remains Anglo-Saxon. The ideal of' American beauty is a clear complexion, showing both pink and white,: large ' eyes, more often blue than dark, and brown or light hair. American women of this ireneration. at least, are larsrer ! 1 than. French women. -their figures are' more - developed and - suggest 1 greater EuamtzurxT BEAUTY CHAT physical strength and vigor. It Is Im possible that such different types should profit by the same line of treatment Health Standard Xiacktng. The French woman does not care for natural effects because with her nat ural effects are not good. She does not care for the rosy cheeks that de note health for they only emphasize the heaviness of her skin; on the con trary. she prefers a deep, artificial white that gives an even color to the entire face. She again disregards the health standard by deliberately blackening the skin about the eyes in the endeavor to make the too small orbs more full and appealing. The American skin needs a different treatment from the French skin: it is thinner, more delicate, more inclined to dry and take on premature wrinkles. It needs more creams to keep It in con dition and cannot stand the ' heavy powders and liquid preparations that the French use in such abundance. It is no exaggeration to say that the average American complexion would bo ruined before 30 if it was subjected to the same treatment that the French woman uses to advantage. The same is true of the figure. The only reducing method in this country is the natural, scientific one exercise and change and reduction of food. A figure brought to proper weight in this manner retains its curves and its air of health and well being. French Figure Becomes Fleshless. The fashion in France is extreme emaciation; hipless. bustlesst the women have simply been willowy sup ports for the scanty, infantile style of Closing Out Best Selected Stock of Furs in Portland FOR almost half a centnry Rummelin's has been known to all Port land for furs of highest quality and reliability.

P. Rummelin & Sons Portland's Oldest Furriers jcrre y dress that has been in vosue. A proof or th. extent to which this craze has gone was shown when some of the new fashions wore exhibited in the mid summer. These gowns were on dif ferent lines, they contained more full r.ess and the waists arranged so as to display the curves of the figure. Alas, none of the professional models who are engaged to display gowns had any curves left to the figure, these had all been melted away by reducing oint ments iind strong electric baths, and a new set of moU-ls had to b engaged. The ideals of French girlhood and the education to which it is subjected is so different from that existing in America that we can hardly expect the same type of womanhood. The mod-. ern French girl has exquisite mariner she is well educated and cultur?d to her finger tips, but she has not the physical and mental freedom of the American girl. You cannot fancy them clothed in the same manner. These are only a few of he reasons that I have for believing thatVmerica will be able to originate its oV fash Jons and that American women will only be benefited by a freedom from yaris dictation. Moreover, if the seat of fashion must leave Paris I believe it will come westward to these shores, that Amer ica, with its growing knowledge of esthetics, with its mixed population, is the logical successor to Paris as the world's center of feminine industries For the last quarter century the an nual increase in the use of electricity has averaged 20 per cent NEWS OF SEATTLE SOCIETY Seattle, "Wash., Oct 1".

I I An I ANU AKIIbU T HE CKNTL'RY OF COLUM BUS" is a new -volume re cently published tn which the author. Dr. James J. Walsh, disnro-ws many popular fal lacies concerning the era. in which Co lumbus lived, notably that-. the cen tury from 14 50 to 1&50 was a darkened period characterized by ignorance and inertia. "There has j probably never been a period," he savs. "when so many su premely srreat things were done or when fn many men whose enduring ac complishments have influenced all the after generations were alive as during the nearly 70" years of Coiumuus s lire time. "To prove that th. art of Columbus' century was supcrlorto that of our own Is the easiest otTasks. It is nec essary merely to mention of Its paint ers such names as,' for example, in Italy. Fra AngeJJco. Botticelli, Leo nardo la Vinci, Andrea del Sarto, Ti tian. Giorgione, Tintoretto, Paolo Ver onese, Correggio, ' and Raphael; in Ger many, Albrecht .' Durer and the.1 Hol beins; in Holland, Vcn der Weyden and Quentin Matsys; of 1 its sculptors such names as Leoparjrll, Donatello Michelangelo, the llella' Robias. and Itenvenato Cellini; and to ask, ' 'What living artists arc to be mentioned in the same breath with any of these? "But we are more or less reconciled to .the idta that the men of the Dark Ages (to use the dear old term) could make pictures and statues and poems. But. we say, they did nothing else. They could paint a Sistine Madonna, but they had no poor houses, nor or phan asylums; they could build the Palace of the Doge, but they threw their insane into dungeons and chained them to the walls. Whereupon Dr. Walsh riir-s and plants a crushing blow in tbe very center of our com placency. "There were, it is true, no orphan asylums. But the. 'social workers' (that unfortunate phrase was not then in use) of Columbus" tima knew what the scientific philanthropists of today are announcing as their own world shaking discovery that the best pos sible place for a child is a home rather than a. Home. Therefore the guilds, which were rich and powerful in those, days, took children whose parents were dead and placed them in families which agreed to treat them as their own.
