Some Jolly and Appropriate Ways
That the Little Ones May Cele
brate the Feast of the Great and
Good St. Valentine.
IF you want to make the children
hnppy get up a little pnrty for
them on Valentine's day. Then
those adults whose consciences
will not permit them to attend1 social
functions on their own account may
find their amusement In making the
little ones huppy even though It Is
Lent.
Fancy dress parties always delight
the Juniors. It Is n charming Idea to
have the little guests come dressed to
represent birds or (lowers. That never
falling resource, crape paper, makes
extremely pretty costumes and, mount
ed on muslin, will stand a great deal
more rough usage than one might Im
agine. If a hostess lives In a neighborhood
where pussy willow cun be found It
makes n charming decoration for the
Valentine party. The children love It,
and even the adults are usually enthusi
astic over It. The pussy willow Is
easy to arrange. It looks best In tall
vases which are of the simplest shapes
and devoid of decorations.
Flowering bulbs or any spring flow
ers which can be obtained will ndd to
the festive appearance of the rooms In
which the party is held. Children are
fond of flowers, and potted plants in
bloom will make appreciated favors.
The bare outlines of the pot may bo
hidden by fancy covers of crape paper
tied In place with ribbons. At this
season the nearest nurseryman can
supply all the plants needed.
Of course tho conventional heart,
dove, Cupid, etc., must make their ap
penrances In the decorations. Tho cakes
may be henrt shaped and tho Ices, Jel
lies or custard molded In this form.
Fancy Ice cups, candy boxes or cases
for pnttles also are shaped like hearts.
Two specimens are Illustrated. These
nre covered with crapo paper In pink
and white. The bows of ribbon on the
box hold the cover In place. Tho
henrts and arrow on tho Ice cup aro
cut out of red cardboard.
Pink and white, yellow and white,
green and white or red and green are

appropriate colors for the Valentino
day celebration, lied curdboard hearts
strung on ribbon may tie used with a
background of moss and green foliage.
Very natural looking flowers may bo
fashioned of crape paper and the ex
pense of fresh ones eliminated.
The lights on tho table should be hid
den by colored shades. Henrt shaped
ones or daintily tinted affairs repre
senting flowers aro charming. For a
children's pnrty a Jack Horner plo may
bo part of the decorative scheme. This
pie can be shaped llko a heart I li
sten (1 of being tilled with gifts It mny
bo filled with valentines, one for each
child. At the proper tlmo each child
Is blindfolded or told to cMse his eyes
and then seize any one of several rib
bons suspended before him. These
ribbons are attached to the valentines
In the pie. and when the child has se
lected a ribbon ho should be told to
pull out a valentine.
Tim ribbons may be of different
shades, and Instead of blindfolding the
youngster he may bo asked to select
the color that he prefers.
Any number of pretty gnmes can bo
played at the valentine party. Henrts
cut from different colored enrdboard
may be cut Into sections and distrib
uted among the children. A prlr.o or
prizes should be awarded to tho child
who pieces tho most hearts together
correctly within n certain time.
Another contest may be played with
soup hubbies. A large heart may bo
shaped out of millinery wire nud mado
ornamental with ribbon. This should
be bung from the chandelier, nud tho
children, stationed at n certain dis
tance from It, should lie directed to
blow soap bubbles and tlont them
through the henrt. Fans should bo
provided to assist In wafting the bub
bles In the right direction. The firm
ness of tho bubbles may be Insured by
adding a Utile glycerin to the soap and
water from which they aro made.
Other games and contests will sug
gest themselves to the Ingenious hostess.

Names Minimum Expense.
"The very lowest on which a girl
can Uvo decently for a year Is $"20.
Sixty per cent of tho working glrla aro
getting less money, Many employers
says tha they employ only those girls
who Uvo nt home. Hut why should n
girl who llve:i at home work for less
than other girls? She Is usually from
a poor home, and tho homo must bear
the expense o!. giving her thoso neces
sities which shb ought to bo able to
buy with her own salary.
"If these underpaid girls are those
who have no homes, but are living
adrift, wo nro accustomed to Bay that
we know where they get their living.
Often wo guess wrongly. Many of
them nro pure, virtuous girls, but In
order to bo so they must live without
comfor's. They have to do with two
meals a day nnd must Uvo In a room
that costs not more than $5 a month.
You all know what such a room In
Portland Is like."
In reply to a question put to him,
Father O'Hara said that the popular
belief that many working girls are
working only for pin money, and that
they have other lcirltliunto bources of
a livelihood, Is not true.
Harris i ll Compensation.
11. A. Harris spoko concisely on the
subject of the workmen's compensa
tion bill. Ho told In detail tho history
of the development of the bill.
"To Theodore Roosevelt Is largoly
duo the credit of bringing the Impor
tance of tho subject homo to tho coun
try," said Mr. HnrrlB, "and Covornor
Chamberlain first Inaugurated tho sub
ject In Oregon. In this Btato there has
been complete harmony In the wor'.t
of evolving a law to lit tho needs of
the working n.an. I admit that over
the bill that we have now prepared
(hero Is room for Improvement, but It
is pressing toward tho mark of solv
ing the dllllculty. A member of a
commission In the state of Washington
working on a bill to meet similar
needs told mo that he wished they had
a bill that looked as good as ours."
Mr. Harris review tho merits of tho
bill thoroughly and nlBo called atten
tion to possiblo defects which might
need remedying later.
Olllcers Are Elected.
Dr. J. N. Smith waa re-elected pres
ident of the club last night and Joseph
Albert was re-oloc'ed vice-president.
Thomas Wllllnnig who has boen serv
ing during tho lost year as secretary
and treasurer of tho club nominated
H. D. Roberts to Bucccod hint and
moved tho nominations close. Mr.
Roberts was elected.
In accepting tho presidency of the
club for another term, Dr. Smith de
clared It tho highest office to which ho
aspired.
"I am not a candidate for further
Borvlce in the state senate," ho assort
ed, "nor yet In the United States sen-
I ate. Neither do I want to be governor
I I am satisfied to hold tho ofllce of pres
