"BABES IN TOYLAND."
Warm Welcome Extended and Many
Encores Demanded.

The pretty conceits of BABES in
Toyland" were produced last evening
at the New oregon theatre, for the
first time in Pendleton. The extrava-
ganza was warmly welcomed by a
crowded house and encore after en-
core was demanded by the audience
Babes in Toyland" is one of the
prettles musical comedies of recent
years. The adventures of Alan and
Jane in the realm of the dolls are at
least amusing, and the catchy whist
leable music is really music.
Gene Ormond as Jane last night
was a most winsome, pretty lass. She
was viyacious, graceful, and could
dance. altogether a petite little lady
quit captivating. Eddie Radway, the
Alan, was somewhat ennuied and
didn't care much about playing in the
Pendleton theatre anyhow but he did
dance cleverly. Gus Pixley as Con
zorgo and Marmaduke was excellent
in his clowning. Beth Tate a suffi-
cient Contrary Mary.
Miss Ormond's song, 81 Can't Do
That sum-" was repeatedly encored
of course.
Pixley and Miss Tate were called
back several times in their Beatrice

'Floretta," and Miss Tate who sang
Barney O'Flynn," but the most pop
udar Of all the songs was Nursery
Days" sung by Miss Ormond AMI Mr..
Pixley, and applauded to the echo.
The dance of the dolls was a pretty

were we'll drilled and could sing
but the dolls looked like the second

Boilers not "Broiers," that schaw-
~ chorus and looked much more like
an old maids convention than the
bevy of beauties.

II meets here in June. Others upon
the committee are ]. H. Gwinn. ], T,
Hinkle, T. G. Montgomery and A. E.

Although the coming session of the
grand lodge is yet several months dis
tant, it was decided by the local
Knights last evening to begin at once
on preparations for the affair.
While definite plans for entertain
ing the visitors have not yet been
worked out Mr.. RAIDER hopes to ar
range for a time which will be long
remembered by the members of the
grand lodge. The streets and busl-

Running south nom Bend the
Central oregon line will be extended
to meet the oregon Eastern at Odell,
connecting in that woy with the Kla-
math Falls line and thence to the
Southern Pacific main line, south of
the Oregon-California state line.
While the statement of the con-
dition of the much discussed Central
Oregon lines falls short of being an
official announcement by Mr. Harri-
man himself. there Is every reason to
believe that early spring will see the
actual construction work begun on
one of the three routes-probably the
Des Chutes line.

second half Potter will play center,
Greenwald and Kimbal guards and

will be at least interesting.
The Los Angeles team is said to be
one of the speediest organizations in

 While the rental appears insignificant, 1t would really mean something like $35,- 900 or s40,000 a year in the pockets of Lord and Lady Warwick. An American who rents an English castle must agree to keep it in as fine condition as 1t is whenthe takes possession. There Is no old place in England that Is kept in better condition than the ancient stronghold of that earl who was called .The King maker"
 The Countess of Warwick was very at- tentive to Mrs. Corey last summer. It Is said that Mrs. Corey is likely to rent the castle.

Not All.

Are all woman suffragists "frumpy, slab-sided, masculine old malds?'
 Miss Blanche Ring Is responsible for the statement that they are.
 If one may accept her declaration as unbiased, then all the pretty women are in the camp of the anti-suffragists. But what to an unprejudiced observer are the facts?
 There are Mrs. Clarence Mackay, Mrs Philip Lydg and Mime. Nellie Melba-al ardent champion of the cause of suf- frage; and representing the "antis." Mrs. Gilbert Jones, Mrs. Richard Watson Gil- der and Mrs. Humphrey Ward, the best known feminine opponent of the suffrage movement.
 Formerly 1t was generally believed that the women who held "advanced views were recruited exclusively from the ranks of the unattractive and the unsought.
 But one glance at the pretty and smartly dressed suffragettes of today must dispel the last vestige of such an illusion.
 Beauty certainly Is not limited to the ranks of the anti-suffragists.
 Mrs. Gilbert Jones, prominent among the "antis," is as handsome a matron as may be found. But. on the other hand, Mrs. Clarence Mackay and Mrs. Dydig are famous beauties, and both are allied with the forces of the woman's revolu- tion
 Mrs. Humphry Ward canot, strictly speaking, be called a beauty Her fea- lures are too irregular to conform to the accepted canons of feminine loveliness. but they are strongly intellectual, and have that spiritual beauty which the pos session of an extraordinary mind confers.

Autumn Leaves and Ferns.

The brilliant coloring of the American autumn is noted all over the world, for nowhere else Is there such turning of the leaf. such a magnificent display of crimson and gold. It is possible, by press ing the leaves and ferns, to bring some of this beauty into our homes.
 As the leaves are gathered, lay them in newspapers under a weight to keep them flat. and when the trees are bare. and none but the sere and yellow leaves are left, begin to press. Select some floor or table not likely to be disturbed, wet the leaves and lay them, face down. between newspapers Pass an iron over them once; when they are steamed and limp, put them between fresh newspaper still face down-and press them hard with hot iron until dry. Pin them with steel pins where they are, and varnish at once with light retouching varnish, as the little heat left facilitates the oper- ation. If done on the face they curl, whereas by strengthening the veins from behind they have their natural support.
 Ferns should be treated Immediately or they will curl at the ends. Either blot ting O. newspaper can be used. the pro- cess then being the same as for leaves.

Dr. Wuellner's Method.

pr. wullner, whose song recitals were the musical sensation of America last season, end who will be heard here this season ujt3er the patronage of the Music Study ef6D has given the following defin- itior Of interpretative art-whioh is his art. and which explains his success:
 "To be ablesao understand the motives, the feelings, the emotions of another human being is in itself a gift that Is given to the few. To be able to give that understanding out. in other words, to express it intelllgently to an audience. that is art You must be able to put yourself into the same frame of mind, the same train of thought as was the poet when he wrote the words. Then, when you have put yourself under his skin, so to speak, you are able to understand the words in their every import, you take upop yqprself the psychology of that poet; aBd yop are, in sense, his other self when you give his work to the pub lie.

scheme by which she is forced to endure their company for considerably shorter periods than would otherwise be the case. In her parlor is large Cuckoo" clock. It would be a simple matter for her to set 1t fast when unwelcome visitors arc expected, but that would be too clumsy and time-worn scheme to suit her. In- stead, she sets the clock even a little slow, but shortens the pendulum consid- erably. The men know about what time 1t is when they arrive and see that the clock Is not fast. Then when 1t registers 10:S0 Or so, politeness bids them leave. Meanwhile the shortened pendulum has done its duty, and 1t is in reality not yet 10 o'clock. This scheme works equally well the other way; but of the dozen or so callers who from time to time grace her parlors there is only one for whom the pendulum is heightened If he knew of this he might overcome his shyness and ask the question that has been on his lips for so long, but, of course, the lengthening of the pendulum in his case is as much of secret as is the shorten ing for the others.

 "Well' said I laughing, times have changed. It used to be thought that the most that was required of an elocutionist was that she should be able to produce some bizarre effects with her voice and action, that she should toll like bell, moan like the wind and initiate an echo or a sawmill. It would not have been thought that one person could present an entire play"
 Well, of course, much must be left to the imagination of the nearer when one person essays to do such a thing The small caste and few changes of scene of the drama simplify the problem. There are many losses, of course, but there is a gain in unity and there Is always pleas ure In what the listener does for himself, concluded Mrs. Beecher. q think some- times that too much is done for us at an elaborate performance.

English speaking people are willing to re- move the ban from the theatre. They SC that 1t has come to stay. They re- alize how great Is its influence and they begin to feel a responsibility toward 1t. One manifestation of this feeling is shown in organizations like the Drama club of Evanston, III. These women. under cap able leadership, have performed splen- did work in creating and directing a dis eliminating popular taste. They are splendid, brilliant young men, like Dr
 Richard Burton. Brauder Matthews, Percy Mackaye and Charles Ram Ken nedy who are directing their energies to writing and speaking for better drama.

The True Lady.

There is no word in the English lan- guage moro ill-used than that of lady" You do not need education nor money nor position to be lady; but you do need l1nd-heartedness and innate refine ment.
 The woman or girl of refinement is not the one that is always speaking of her. self as '1ady." She is quite content to be called a woman.
 A lady abhors vulgarity of thought or speech. She dislikes to be conspicuous in any way.
 She sets a higher value on personal daintiness and neatness than on fine clothes She is quiet and modest in man. ner, and in her attitude toward men.
 There is no use in trying to look and dress like lady unless you behave as one; nor can you be true lady unless you are kind and considerate toward other people.
 Remember that the same qualities make 8 lady of the duchess or the peasant
