PORTLAND PLANS APPLE SHOW
On the nirht of Thursday, IVtrm
ber '2S. the women nii'mlters of the
Pallas Otutfim; club are to present
aonu'thiiuf enfirvly new in the way
of a club enU'rtainnient at Woodman
Hall. They have been making sport
of the male memlH'rs, who have here
tofore had chnifre of the club dances,
and in a spirit of retaliation for all
the sarcastic remarks made the
latter have turned the manaeinent
over to the fair ones with instruct-1
ions to "beat it if you can." And
the women are pnnif to beat it, if
they have to work overtime to do
it. They have been piven carte
blanche in the management of the
next dance, and they are promising
st nicthiiig entirely novel, not only in
the way of d'-corations but in the
form of entertainment to be provid
ed. What particular form their ef
forts are to assume, is of course, a
dark secret, and is, for the present
intended only for feminine ears, and
then only m it la strict injunctions of
"now. don't you tell."

grvat importance, noedles are buv,
trance costumes are being evolved,
and a hen the time comes there will
be a surprise worth while.
The event is Wing arranged by the
following committee appointed at the
last regular business meeting: Mr.
Will Tatum. Mrs. Kae Craven. Mrs.
