tel last night.

for the delicious buffet luncheon pre
pared by Mrs. J. M. Murray, the hos
tess.
The comedv feature of the evening
was the tag one-step started by Wal
ter L. Tooze. Jr. His zealousness
for the tag feature certainly started
something; he had about lour let
lows dogging his footsteps the en
tire dance, never getting more than
four or five steps with the same part
ner Still believins; that variety is
the spice of life, he advocated a Ger
mania, which met with more favor
aad incidentally more success for the
aforementioned Mr. .Tooze.
The cuests entered into the spirit
of the housewarming and did justice
to the affair, encoring each dance re
peatedly. As the guests were finish
ing their sandwiches and coffee, Wal
ter Tooze assumed the chairmanship
of the party and entertained a motion
by Joseph Helgerson, one of the
nrnminent vounff attorneys of the
nitv. Mr. Helererson moved that the

tion lor the nospitamy accoraea mem
by Mr. and Mrs. Murray by a rising
vote. Everyone arose.
EXPECT TO BEAT MULTNOMAH.
Dallas Basketball Team Leaves For
Portland Tomorrow.

few enthusiastic fans leave for Port
land tomorrow, where the team will
play the strong Multnomah Amateur
Athletic club jiimtet tomorrow nigm.
Multnomah bett the local boys last
year, but Dalian was not represented
by its best combination and hopes to
avenge the trimming this year.
Captain Carl Fenton expects vic
tory. He has played against all the
Multnomah Men, especially the two
stars, Dewey and Sharpe, during his
basketball career at the University
of Oregon, and doesn't think the
clubmen can stop Dallas with their
present lineup. The team is going nt
full speed, now. Woods, Boydston
and Fenton form a scoring combina
tion that is hard to beat and opposing
forwards have found a deal of trou
ble in slipping away from the tail
and alert guards, Shaw and Matheny
Cliauncey Hayes and Manager Gooeh
complete the basketball troupe.
Both teams have agreed upon Ho
iner Jamieson, former University of
Oregon star, to referee the contest
Jamieson was an all-northwest for
ward in his playing days and is the
best referee in the northwest. The
two teams will play a return game in
Dallas, February 17.

ORPHEUM PROGR A1V
"The Piper's Price" Is Bluebird At
traction at Orpheum Tomorrow.
For the evil we do we must pay,
right here on earth, is another way
of saving that we cannot escape our
just deserts. This is proven through
convincing dramatic construction in
the Bluebird photoplay, "The Pi
per's Price," to be the attraction at
the Orpheum theatre on Saturday
night with beautiful and talented
Dorothy Phillips playing the leading
role. The divorce question is exploit
ed in this Bluebird, demonstrating
that if divorce there must be it were
far better to let well enough alone.
In "The Piper's Price" the man and
woman who were divorced did not do
this, and the result was untold mis
ery for the faithful wife who was
effected by the folly of one man who
was not brave enough to abide by
his own decision. Four principals
and two housemaid characters are
shown upon the screen in "The Pi
per's Price," but this small cast
proves by the force and character of
their artistry that numbers are not
necessary to the portrayal of an in
teresting story when the characters
aire skillfully played and combined in
effective delineations.
