COMMANDMENTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE The follow- ilift urn vvw- mandments by the late lamented Car men Sylva show her to have been a clever wit: First Thou shalt not cause the first quarrel, but if unavoidable, fight it through bravely. To be victor in the first domestic quarrel may have a ten dency to elevate thee In thine hus band's mind for all future. Second Thou shalt not forget that thou hast married a man, not a god. Therefore be not surprised by his frailties. Third Thou shalt not always talk money to thine husband. Rather try to get along on the allowance ne maketh thee. Fourth If thou considerest thine husband heartless, remember that, verily, he hath a stomach.' By per sistently appealing to his stomach with well-cooked meals, thou may est. after all, touch his heart. Fifth Once in a great while, but not too often, thou shalt let him have the last word. It tickleth him smd wilt not do thee any harm. Sixth Thou shalt read the whole newspaper and magazine, not merely the stories dealing with scandal and society. Thine husband will be pleas antly surprised to find, off and on. that he can talk oil general topics and even on politics with his wife. Seventh Thou shalt not be rude even when Quarreling with thy hue-. band. Forget not that at one time In thy life thou didst consider him lit tle short of a demigod. Eighth Thou shalt, from time to time, allow thine husband to know a little more about thyself, admitting that thou art not infallible all through. Ninth If thine husband Is a smart man, thou shalt be his friend; if he is not thou shalt be both counsellor and friend to him. Tenth Thou shalt esteem thy hus band's relatives, especially his mother. Remember that ah loved him long be fore thou didst. KIDNEY SAUTE 2 mu"n ud , neys. ounce butter. 1 teaspoonful minced onion. 3 teaspoon! uls flour. pintof stock. Melt the butter and make hot, but do not brown tt; core, skin and slice the kidneys; put them in the butter to heat for 6 minutes, then remove them. Fry the onion in the butter, stir tin the flour and then the stock. Boll 4 minutes, allow sauce to cool and then put in the kidneys. Place pan in large pan of boiling water and allow the kidneys to stew in this bain marie for 48 minutes. Pile the kidneys in cen ter of a small dish, strain the gravy and pour around; garnish with fried parsley. FADS AND FANCIES Long coats for dressy costumes continue to be very much decorated. A great many one-piece dresses are seen without any definite waist line. Some blue serge frocks have many flounces, each bound with black braid. The normal waist line is the rule. though it may be slightly higher or lower. Children's fashions favor simple tailored styles in dresses of colored cotton. Blue batiste ribbons and hems are seen on some, of the finest French lingerie. Some ruffled dresses have waists very short in the front. Medium-sized handbags, in fabrics ana in learners, are-correct. One of the new - wing-shaped hats strongly suggests th aeroplane. : Cotton voile will be more than ever used for .waists and dresses. . TABLE LINEN Tabl llnen must ba properly han dled in the -laundry If-you would have it retain its freshness.. Strong bleaches must never.be used for fine table lin ens. Of course the linen is often-badly DYVBBDA t '4 T i womarvs spotted and needs to be cleaned in some way. But boiling water remoyes coffee spots, cold water removes cocoa stains and sunshine removes many more spots. When stronger agents must be used, they should be applied and removed by intelligent hands. , They should be allowed to remain 'tin the spots just long enough to eradicate them, and then rinsed thor oughly out with clear water. For if they remain on too long they re move not only spots, but pieces of the linen. For fruit stains pour boiling water tli rough them while the stains are amp, if possible. If they dry on. ruo mem wun lara ana put tnrougn the usual washing process. Some old- fashioned .house wives have their table linen dipped in buttermilk to whiten t it. The linen is allowed to remain in ' the buttermilk for a day or two, if necessary, and is then thoroughly ' rinsed in cold, clear water, later in ; warm water. Always dry linen out of doors in the sunshine. If possible have a lit tle bleaching green of grass. Table linen must be quite damp when it is ironed, and it must be ironed until it is perfectly dry. Napkins should be ironed on both sides and a table cloth, too, to give it the best appear ance. ABOUT SPAGHETTI A corr- k. fnP fnr .-v,..n sponaent other than for oun Anv r.in..

NATIONAL GUARD NOTES Battery A Equipped With Modern Field Guns and Accoutrements. Vp to Date Battery A. Battery A has modern field pieces of the best description. They are up to the requirements of the regular army, and in case of need would give good account of themselves.

T WILL net surprise me if society in the near future .adopts formal A letters of condolence which can be picked up in printed form at the sta tioner's shop, all ready for mailing with the exception of names and dates. which can be filled In with pen and ink. Letter, writing is already so nearly a lost art that the time seems near at hand when society will adopt an an cient custom and call for a profes sional scribe to attend to its private correspondence. The ancients, you know, wer not sufficiently educated to write their own letters. Letter writing was a busi ness and even the educated classes called upon a professional writer to attend to their correspondence. Ther came a period when letter writing was raised to an art and people took par ticular pleasure apd pride in conduct ing their correspondence. Many per sons established reputations through the letters they wrote, and the epistles indited were so classic that each wai preserved for Its literary value. But how times have changed! The telephone and telegraph have practically removed the necessity for note writing. Society women use the telephone instead of writing notes to their friends.- "Night letters" apd "day letters flash over the telegraph wires to save persons the trouble of Inditing long letters to bo forwarded by mall. Letter writing has nearly degenerated into a card system. Printed cards suit able for Christmas, New Year's, birth days. Invitations, acceptances, regrets, and even acknowledgement of flowers sent as tributes to the dead are to b had at the stationer's, and full use is made of them.

"The Only Girl." 44 HE ONLY GIRL," in her Infinite variety, delighted a large audl- ence at the Hellig last night. Musical comedies are few and far between -these days, and one with the music by Victor Herbert certainly proves entertaining. The book by Henry Blossom isn't half bad. and sprinkled v through it are some rather clever, evanescent lines. Thero's not much to the plot; a bunch of young bachelors, all in love, courtship, coo ing, marriage, awakening, henpecking, escape, chorus girls, capture. It takes three acts to transform these .gay young dogs into -regular men, sadder but wiser. Edna Munsey, "the only girl," is a dream of loveliness, and a sweet so prano singer. Franklin Farnum plays the hero-librettist in dashing style. And there's a dream of a chorue girl, too, Cecilia Novaaio, who plays the part of Patsy, and sings, dances and acts with fire, pep and personality. The company of character actors is excellent. But the song's the thing. You will enjoy hearing: "The More I See of Others, Dear, the Better I Love You"; "When You're Away"; "Be Happy, Boys, Tonight"; "Th Com pact"; "Personality"; "Antoinette"; "Here's to the Land We Love, Boys"; "Tell It All Over Again"; "Connubial Bliss'; "Here's How"; "You Have to Have a Part to Make a Hit": "When Yor Ankle, Wears the Ball and Chain"; "Equal Rights"; "You're the Only Girl for Me." Wholesome Play at Hippodrome. One of x those wholesome, human, homely plays that had their greatest vogue a few years ago Is "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm," which the Baker players are putting over this week at the rechristened Hippodrome theatre. Incidentally, the troupe is Introducing a new leading woman in the person of Miss Jane Urban, a sprightly young person of attractive face and histrionic ability. Kate "Douglas Wiggins' story tells of little Rebecca, who was so unfortu nate as to be the daughter of iter maid en aunt's' sister who had married "be neath" her,"and of how her heartache at leaving the mortgaged farm to live in the brick house is finally salved in the eof tening of the aunts and the con quest of the rich ' young man on the hill. All the parto are well sustained, par ticularly Elisabeth Ross' role of Aunt Q-BAN DARK CRAY HI Everyobdy Uses ItDark ens Your Gray Hair So Evenly So Handy ' Harmless No Dye.

I Ad v.) abandoned for the small card, which will contain about- all the average so clety woman has time ,to say In her letters. , - The passing of the letter writing- art Is regrettable. New forms lack the ele ment of personality and individuality which made the old fashioned - letter so valuable. The printed cards and' forms that now burden the mails carry none of the sentiment which was so beautifully recorded through the writ ten letters of the past. ' In our correspondence we are becom ing entirely too formal, and the printed form Is worst of all. This formality places our most' intimate friends on a parity with utter strangers. All art treated alike. The personality of' the writer and of the recipient are elimi nated. The whole custom is reduced to an extremely cold formality. The growing custom of using printed forms and telephonic and telegraphic mes.sages prevents the introduction of originality. A few years ago notes and letters provided an outlet for the orlg lnality of the letter writer. In ths same way there was an oppor tunity "for an exhibition of literary ability and the Introduction of beauti ful words, expressions and composition through the recording of thoughts above, the average. If you have failed to notice the de terioration of social correspondence look up the letters your grandmother received and compare them with those that reach you. The comparison will show you exactly to what extent th art of letter writing Is disappearing. Do not .call upon the public scUbe to indite all of your notes and letters. Do not bury your intelligence and lit erary ability beneath cold formality. Devote a . little time and thought to those with whom you correspond. Miranda and Henry Hall's as Uncle Jerry. Edward Woodruff carries off the hero role with his usual sympathy. Nancy Duncan, June Shea, Dorothy Rea and Loretta Wilson are cast as village children. The play will be re peated nightly this week, with Wednes day and Saturday matinees. ' Is Old Portland FaWorite. W. H. Lyttel, an old time favorite in Portland, features the seven-act bill that opened yesterday for a week's stay at the Empress, theatre. "An AU-Nlght Session" is the vehicle in which Mr. Lyttel is carrying his latest laughs to the patrons of vaudeville. The funny sketch is a near-rejuvenation of the old favorite "Are You a Mason." Mr. Lyttel is supported by a competent cast. Strassle's trained animal act wins second honors. Birds, dogs, ponies and seals play the leading roles to the delight of the juveniles. ( Burt and Lytton do some clever Impersonating and character singing. The Allen trio, musicians; Mills and Lockwood in a rube burlesque, and Llbby and Barton in trick bicycle rid ing, accompanied by comedy, all add to the attractiveness of a well bal anced program. Fine BUI at Orpheum. Fitting, because of war and rumors of war, is the headllner at the Orphe um theatre this week. It is a playlet, "The Coward," in which Lillian Kings bury, as the wife, shows what a woman may do to prevent her husband from going to war. She accomplishes her end by shooting her husband through the wrist, thus rendering him physic ally unfit for service. Revelations in the art of impression istic character dancing are given by Lesiree Lubowska. The Egyptian dance and the peacock dance are es pecially good. "Fun on the Board Walk" is a ve hicle for some catchy slnglne and patter in which Fred Warren and Effie Conley appear. Songs as you like to hear them sung, by Ed Morton, are well rendered Valentine and Bell, who open the bill, have a unique "furniture remov ing" act. The Four Sultanas is featured by singing specialties, the Oriental cos tuming having special merit, Clark and Verdi, Italian comedians, have-a line of humor that is a funny bone tickler. Fnn Is Fast and Furious. Dillon and King, the popular come dians and their large company, opened the week at the Lyric theatre with the fast and furious musical comedy "Hearts Are Trumps," and it proved one of ,thelr best laugh producers. Full of witty sayings, gorgeous cos tumes, tuneful song successes and Mike and Ike's comedy it will prove a big hit throughout the week. There is a good comedy plot centered around Mike and Ike. Mike is compelled to work out a board bill as a waiter and Is forced to wait on Ike, who is dining with a swell lady friend. The laugns centers around Mike and his ability to produce the order without leaving the table. Musically the show has some splen did numbers only the latest song hlta being used. Tuesday night will be profit shar ing with the patrons attending that evening and Friday night after each performance the Ginger chorus girls will hold a contetst. Bargain matinees are held daily. Billy Burke Is Incomparable. The whole country should rejoice that Billle Burke, the incomparable, consented to appear in photoplay, for otherwise one of the most charmingly told and best acted film stories Im aginable might never bad been made. But she did consent and the film was made and it is now showing in Portland to crowded houses at the Co lumbia theatre. It Is called "Peggy" and it is the story of an American girl of Scotch descent who goes to Scotland to live with an uncle. "Peggy" takes the staid Scotch town off its feet wlUi her tomboy escapades, straightens out an affair between her cousin Colin and the weaver's daugh ter and finally bestows her love on the village "meenieter." , Woven in this delightful tale of Scotch life Is a fairy story which Peggy tells some of her little children friends. Billie Burke's personality bubbles through the entire story and her act ing Is fully as delightful as in the spoken drama. The Royal Guatemalan Marimba band gave three concerts yesterday afternoon and will' make its final ap pearance tomorrow afternoon. Aeting Is Superb. Theda Bara defended her title as champion, homewrecker in films at the Majestic- theatre yesterday. In her role ss Juliet de Cordova in "Gold and the Woman" Miss Bara continues to- carry away all honors as the vampire woman of the movie world. Although - the pbotodrama isn't as sensational as some that have failed to get by the censorship in Portland, it contains enough of morbid to satisfy the ultra morbid mind. The piece Is replete with thrilling climaxes. The acting of those " supporting Miss Bara is almost as good as that of the star herself. The story deals with the robbery of an aged Indian chief, his murder and the killing of Ms kinsmen by whites who covet valuable lands. In after years the grandson of the murdered chieftain shows up to recover his rights from the heirs of the murderer. Picturesque country, perfect photog raphy and wonderful creations of the modiste lend to the attractiveness of the Fox film. CHURCH NOTES More Than 10OO People Hear lack Godwin in Revival Meeting.
