ABOUT THE HOUSE "W h y 'TV'omen Are Ready the subject for Any Emergency," Is of an absorbingly inter- esting article in the October Woman s Home Companion by Ida M. Tarbell. Here are a few of the things she says that cannot fail to find a responsive" chord in the heart and mind of many women: "A woman turns from binding up the broken head of a dare-devil boy to cheering a husband whose affairs are going to smash. She turns irom en tertaining her daughter's friends to meeting the crisis of her son's first cigar, or drink, or questionable com panion. She does it regularly, steadily, naturally; and under the necessity she develops until she is ready for any thing. If the house burns, five times out of ten she saves the baby and the family records, while nine times out of ten the husband saves the coal pall and the looking glass: If there's a crasn and lacerated bodies and bleeding wounds, she knows what to do, and she does It. That's her business. If she falters, it is only to pull -herself to gether for a fresh effort. 'You dare not faint: there is nobody knows but you,' a quivering man told his wife when she staggered after an hour and a half of relief work over a horribly burned man with the scanty improvised reme dies of a pioneer home. She did not faint, she knew, too, that she dared not. It wag her business to stick. It was what life had fitted her for, what her mother and grandmothers had done before her. It was in her blood." DELICIOUS DEVIL'S FOOD. One cup butter, one cup granulated sugar, one sup brown sugar, one cup milk, four cups flour, one-half cup molasses, one-half cup chooolate, one half cup boiling water, four eggs, one teaspoon cream of tartar, one-half teapoon soda, one teaspoon each of allspice, cloves and cinnamon, one-half teaspoon grated nutmeg, two cups rais ins, one cup citron, one cup English walnuts. Cream butter and sugars together, add molasses and yolks of eggs and beat thoroughly. Mix spices, cream of tartar and soda in flour. Dissolve grated chocolate In boiling water and add to mixture. Cut up citron and raisins into small pieces, add broken nuts and roll in flour. lastly add beaten whites of eggs. Bake in three layers In moderate oven and put to gether with caramel filling. Will keep fresh for months. THE SHOPPER. I wonder If it's worth while telling you anything about the Prome nade des Toilettes the wonderful fall fashion show in one of the big down town shops yesterday afternoon be cause I am sure you were there, every body was. Such crowds and crushes I never saw at a fashion show. Every seat was occupied an hour before the show and probably t00 people stood throughout the wonderful pantomime, supposed to be the dream of a young girl beginning with her first party as a kiddle, going through the school days, the outdoor sports, the luncheon, the tea dance, the reception, the carni val ball and finally the glad wedding day. The show was distinctive for its artistic appointments and the gowns, blouses, wraps, suits, shoes, hats, and gloves were all the very latest and most correct things from the great fashion centers of Europe and this country. There were fashions for young and old, for stout and slen der, for blondes and brunettes; In fact, nothing and no one was overlooked. The richness of materials, exquisite colorings of the fall fabrics and the chic styles were outstanding features of this unique show. Not only were there real people but there were real horses for the girl who rode horseback and a real automobile for the girl who motore. The pleasure of the afternoon was heightened by the graceful execu tion of the newest dances by profes sional entertainers. The show will bo repeated this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon at 2:30. BEAUTY HINT. The woman who has to aid nature In making her hair curly will be interested to know of a new curling fluid which I am told Is very fine. The plan Is to separate the hair into little bunchea, dampen it with the fluid and roll it up on curlers of any sort. kid. rubber or metal. A curl thus made will last a week, thus saving consider able time and allowing six nights for sleep without wearing "knobs" on your head. FASHION'S HIGH LIGHTS. New neckwear showa touches of black. Kxtremely full plain skirts are in favor. The tiered skirt is still In good fashion. 1 Fashion has given black boots first j place. I There are charming grays among the I new colore. . Yellow is a favorite shade for eve ning gowns. Hats of pale tinted felt are chic for autumn wear. Velvet is the fashionable material for the winter hat. Deep border hems of cloth to silk skirts are in favor.. Dainty waists are made of soft, transparent fabrics. The longer coat is here, for winter comfort and fashion.

Higgins in Port land, but a letter received addressed to him and read by his wife compelled him to investigate, and he found three others. George E Higgins had been to Seattle with an excursion last year, and short ly after his return a letter was de livered to his home from Seattle ad dressed in a feminine hand. Mrs. George E. Hlgglne phoned about it, and was told to open the read it. He heard the wild shriek over th phone and rushed home. Explanations were in order from George B. That letter contained references to long walks, p.nd boat rides and moonlight nothings, and dances, and George oh, you George! Then it was found that there is a George E. Higgins of 262 Park, and George E. Higgins, the real estate man, and George E. Higgins, sometimes of Tillamook, and George E. Higgins, the prominent Masonic booster and all around good fellow. In addition to the George E "s there Is George H. Higgins of 1178 Haw- Un. A n -.

All these seven George Higgins get their mail mixed up, and it never does get straightened out. For Instance. Gul Reazee George received a bill 1 some time ago alleged to be due for ( wine, and the sum was more man uui Reaxee George ever spent In his Ufa for liquor. A long overdue check, was of such large dimensions that it was sent on the rounds In hopes of find ing a man amongst the seven who could aasume it was due him. WThile one George E. was msster of Columbia lodge of Masons, another was taking his initiatory degree in Willamette lodge, and friends of the "worshipful master" thought he was playing some sort of a game on them, he being given to practlcs.1 Jokes. THl entire lot ot George Higgins are no relation to one another, and blew into Portland from all parts of the country. "They are ell good fellows.- said Gul Reazee George, "and we have agreed to form a club. Checks are to go to the first man who gets them, and bills to be passed on to the last man down the line." He Wanted to Get Off and Walk. COLONEL H. E. Dosch of Dosch sta tion almost went to San Francisco the other day almost but not quite. Colonel Dosch accompanied his ti Arno Dosch, the war correspondent to Flavel, to see him off on the liner Northern Paciflo and boarded the Mg turblner for an inspection of the ship before she sailed. The colonel was way aft when the vessel's big whistle boomed and lines were cast off. He ran forward with a speed that would have done credit to Arthur Duffy In his palmiest days, reaching the gang plank Just as it was drawn in and there was a gap of some eight feet between the steamer and the pier. "Did you want to get offT" Inquired a steward. "Yes," said Colonel Dosch. "You cawn't. air," said the steward. "Hell." exclaimed Colonel Dosch. Then someone suggested he see the captain, volunteering the Information that he was on the bridge. The colonel made another sprint along the deck, hopped to the bridge In two hops and immediately plunged Into hot water. The captain, the pilot, and everybody else on the bridge wanted to know what he was doing on that sanctum of sanc tums. Colonel Dosch must have put his caae well for soon a small boat cama out from the dock; the unwilling pas senger went down a ladder and the Northern Pacific put to sea. e The Reason Why. CIRCUIT JUDGE J. P. KAVA NAUGH Is a health enthusiast, according to the Multnomah Club Bul letin, and one of the most regular attendants at the Multnomah club. The Judge specializes In squash, hand ball. Turkish baths and an occasional plunge In the tank. "Nothing is more conducive to clear thinking," he says. Partly to his physical culture the Judge attributes the fact that he has never been reversed by the suprem court. A Patriotic Combination.
