which Is beinjr maintained here for
relief of suffering abroad. A program
of Kiiglish, Scotch, Welsh and Irish
songs will be given by a group of
prominent local singers.
This relief society has already spnt
over to England from Portland about
$$000 which was realized from various
cources. Including concerts, private
subscriptions and the chain of teas
given by the women. This last raised
about $1500.
One of the most Interesting events
of tho past week was the military ball
given by Troop A, O. N. Q., at Cotillion
ball, Friday evening. A large gather
ing of prominent society people made
the event reminiscent of the old popu
lar, military balls given prior to tho
Spanish-American war when member
ship in the Oregon National Gusr.l was
quite the vogue among the prominent
young men of the city. The dress uni
forms amid the gay array of handsome
varl-colored evening gowns of the
women made the scene an unusually
colorful and delightful one.

Saturday Was Realization
Day for the Loyal Califor
nians Who Long Have
Looked Forward to Fair,
By Marion Mac Rac
San FTanotPoo, Feb. 20. This has
been Realization Day for San Fran
cisco. Culminating two year's hercu
lean labor, the opening of the Panama
Pacific International Exposition "On
time" gave to the populace as well as
of the whole state, a satisfaction that
would not have been possible through
any other medium. This long looked
for opening started last night with a
typical San Francisco street celebra
tion throughout the city, and many of
the celebrants had not gotten to bed
before the bells and whistles of the
city and bay were blatantly announc
ing that the all important day had
dawned, and reminding everyone that
It was time to be up and doing and
ready to "get in line" for the grand
march to the fair grounds.
After the exercises there was a con
stant stream of visitors at the Oregon
building, who were warmly greeted by
J the official hostess, Mrs. Thomas G.
HaJley, Commissioner O. M. Clark
and Secretary George Hyland of the
Oregon commission. Tomorrow Ore
gon will have the distinction of being
first in the state line to hold a cele
bration, several hundred guests being
prepared to lunch at the big log
palace. George Hyland will act as
host, Mr. Staley will exhibit views of
the Columbia Highway and other por
tions of the state; Commissioner L.
C. Brown of the Washington commis
sion will serve Yakima apples just to
show OregonUnis wliat his state can
do in that line; and Charles Loesch.
president of the California Baking
company, lias volunteered to donate a
feast of cake, just because he admires
the Oresron spirit. "I like people who
I do things," said Mr. Loesch, and the
Oregonians have promised to let him
see and admire them "cat things."
Commissioner I. O. Lively, who will
officiate as toas iraaster at the 1915
Get Together supper dance at the
InFide Inn n--.t Saturday night. has
secured as speakers. the following
chiefs or uepartmenjjohn E. Trask,
flno arts; p. CJStaTlsmlth, agricul

inery; Charing E. Van Barnevald,
mines and metallurgy; Charles- H.
Greene. manufacturers; Theodore
Hardee, liberal arts; G. A. Dennlson,
horticulture. Mr. Lively has charge
of the Polo tournament, and states
tliat the entries and box reservations
indicate it will be one of the biggest
sporting events during the exposition
year. The Gerald Fitzgerald, whom I
mentioned as a guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Lively last wee, has his incognito
penetrated before leaving San Fran
cisco and proved to be the Earl of
Pembroke.

California building were opened today

iary board and their guests. Member

women of the Pacific Coast are now

San Francisco. Mrs. Todd, who is a.
former Portlander, is a sub-chairman
of the auxiliary and issues member
ships. Shrove Tuesday, which generally
closes the social season for the lenten
period, was the date of the annual
Mardl Gras ball, and like its predeces
sors, it was an imposing and artistic
affair. A French garden setting gave
opportunity for unusual color and
lighting effects, and under the mas
terful direction of the many artists
who are now here, the scene was a
dream of loveliness. One of the court
ladles in waiting on the queen was
Miss Beatrice Nickel, who Is well
known in Portland.
Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Jorgenson, who
have been visiting Coconado. Del
Monte, and other southei4 California
resorts, arrived during the week and
were participants during today's open
ing exercises. They will remain i
week longer before returning to Port
land. Mr. and Mrs. Gay Lombard were

Honolulu last Tuesday. About 15 of
this list registered at the Steward

and Miss Alice Gilman were Joined
here by Judge and Mrs. Charles H.
Carey and Miss Evelyn Car$y.

the ordinary gas range in your kitchen,
for it costs less to operate a good
range than a poor one. The patent
burners of the A-B Sanitary consume
25 per cent more air than most gas
ranges and the air costs nothing. Then
again they are so easily cleaned no
blanking is required, inst wash with a
