WIVES AS GENIUSES
Hy Edna K. Wooley,
Many women think they are sup
pressed geniuses. 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?"

GROUP OF PORTLAND WOMEN WHO ARE ACTIVE IN CLUB WORK OF VARIOUS KINDS IN ALL PARTS OF CITY

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.

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

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

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

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. Tbe guild officials saw to it
that the children were well clothed,
fed, and educated, and they supplied
the girls with generous marriage por
tions." e
