SOCIETY HWSWEEK Js
By MOLLY BRUNK
ONE of the nicest things that I received this Yuletide was a small
picture, about the sire of a postcard, which came with a simple
' Christmas greeting. uovtousiy u was not -the intrinsic worth
of the card nor yet the written message that has made it a thing
Jpideared. .j -.
; Coming as it did in mid-winter, this little card brought a golden
promise that has dally been renewed A promise that is at last about
to be fulfilled for the little card told of gardens that were green,
with the greenness of Spring, and pink, and lavender, and blue with
the vividness of May.
' Cray days and drearymany of them, haTe marked the calendar
lace Christmas, but flurry of wind, rain and even a bit of anow
have not mattered, for above my k. the little card has preached
bravely of days of warmth and sunshine just ahead.
' It was a flock of geese flying north that first gave notice that
Spring was nearly here. Only a brief time after this tulips and
daffodils began to burst through. And thu suddenly came a night
when the children of men alept. to awaken and find that the great
Worker of Miracles had touched the land! for lo. the period of
Spring' most delicate, fragile. beauty was here; surparsing even the
latter odorous. Incarnadined season of wood and orchard blossom,
for In the last of February is the brief period which a thunderstorm
or heavy wind may shorten, or placid weather may. lengthen, and
which owesi its alluring quality to this very uncertainty.
The woods ahow a mist of green, a virginal filament of it where
the most responsive buds are opening. Almost under observation
the mist h$ thickened, until one believes that the transformation is
visibly taking place. It is a gossamer veiling of green, a fairy tulle
of lightest mesh; a part-of the air as well as of the woods and
thickets. Jt has glints of yellow, touches of crimson and dashes of
lavender colors that deepen with May, when the promise of a
Christmas card Js fulfilled and tiny clusters of green burst into
patches of still more vivid hue that on close approach one discovers
are f nil-blown blossoms of wild currant, thorn, apple and quince.
IT IS a far cry from prunes to Grand Opera; however, Oregon folk
have spanned the intervening space this week, and brave proceeded
to fill the material man with the former homely article, while the
aesthetic part of him has absorbed the divine ambrosia of "Madame
Butterfly," Carman" and "Thais."
i And speaking of Grand Opera, we may not pass on without a
word about! the most beloved figure in that world Caruso. News
. of his serious illness hung like a pall over the Grand Opera singers
la Portland this week, many of whom knew him personally,
j MI have been crying until I am a wreck," said Anna Fitzieu. when
aiked by an Oregonlan reporter for a statement of her friendship for
Caruso. "Even if I did not know Caruso I would grieve at his
threatened demise, and how much more sad then do I feel. I who
know him well 'and love him.
M, "I cannot think of any personate whose , death would so upset
a nation. He is -universally -beloved. Great men there are who
might die, even statesmen; financiers and inventors, but some other
men can take their places.. If Caruso dies, no one can take 'his
place. There is no voice like his, no combination of voice and lovable,
charming person as is in his case.. .
' "It was Caruso who gave jne my first encouragement. That
was ten years ago. and he had come at the bequest of my teacher
to spend the evening and try out my voice. I was living in New York
, with my sister and in her family was a baby boy of 11 months. On
.the evening Caruso elected to visit us my young nephew elected to be
a howling, screeching performer. He was teething and very cross
and we were all upset, with a yowling baby in the nursery and the
great Caruso In the drawing room. v
' "Nothing could quiet the baby, and suddenly Caruso said, "Take
me to where that young man Is and I will quiet him.
: "Aghast 'and wondering, we led the great -singer to the nursery
and he lifted the screeching baby from his crib. , In ills magnificent
ttaor, subdued as If for the baby's ears alone, he sang little Neapoli
ttn lullabies and soon the youngster quieted and went to sleep, his
hands clutching Caruso's thumb. For two hours, afraid ot wakening
the haby, Caruso held him In his arms.

sic critic of the Portland Journal
Bald:
"Whether or not Hofmann is
the greatest pianist is a matter
that never could be settled, for ad
mirers of the pianistic art have
their individual opinions all based
on different grounds. Three other
noted pianists have appeared here
in recitals this season and each
bad his long list ot enthusiastic
admirers.
"Hofmann is a profound, quiet
and yet very powerful performer.
His technique is marvelous and
the tone is of the expressive sing
ing quality that convines one that
the piano is not a - dead instru
ment."

Of This Spring's Fashioning
There is an air of jaunty youth about them that quite
captivated your fancy. The straight, slender lines hinted
at in the late winter fashions have been delightfully real
ized in the spring designs. Tiile navy is the predominat
ing shade, several lovely dresses are to be sen in soft tans
and greys. And just a word about the material! It is of
the very highest grade and promises to give the utmost
satisfaction. The workmanship on these dresses, also, is
of recognized worth. They range in price from J
$12.48 TO $48.75
We would call your special attention to an assort
ment of these dresses that we have gathered into one
group and which we quote at the very reasonable price of
.$24.75

The Tay As You Go plan has -already done a world of '
good in Salem. It has been the means of starting many

many 'women the. ease with, which they can live within
their income. "
