WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY

In Utmost absurd contrast to the women
interested In the st. Louis exposition, who
disdained a woman's building. are the
women Of Oregon, who, according to re-
port, are contending for the privilege Of
erecting a woman's building at the Lewis
and Clark exposition to be held In Port
land. The Portland Federation OF Clubs.
the strongest local organization OF women,
adopted plans for such a building as their
principal work for the next two years.
They had hardly completed their arrange
ments when Mrs. Edyth Tozier Weatherred,
who was a commissioner from Oregon to
the Pan-American exposition, organized an
association Of women under the name Of
the Lewis and Clark club, with the same
object. The new organization seems not
the least disturbed by the indignant critl-
cism Of the Portland federation, and even
offered to Cooperate with 1t, but evil

wigs in keeping with their rapidly aging
faces. Their wigs were brown and on
account Of poverty they were unable to
purchase others. Their humiliation at the
disparity between their young wigs and
old faces is pitiful. Finally they decided
upon a plan of fnaneiering by which, in
time, each was TO be furnished with the COW
eted gray wig. Their fortunes were to be
combined, therefore there could be but
one bought at a time, so they decided to
cast lots to determine who should have
