A Fixture Hint

Three years ago tried TO help
my sister select a hat. We went
TO half the stores in Portland.
She tried on at least 100 before
finding one that suited. | didn't
appreciate that method at all
too much travelling. bother and
hit or miss principle. That
evening | started thinking it
over. Said TO myself, were | a
woman and wanted a hat would
go to a good milliner. tell her
what | wanted to pay. wear the
dress | wanted TO wear with the
hat. and have her design me one
"a creation to fit me. and me
alone. my beauty, my manner
isms. my individuality; in short,
just me. That carried another
chain of thought. If hats, why
not electric fixtures?
Furnishings in the home are
very important. Harmonious
colors, good selection OF furni-
ture and a nice blending of lines
mean a great deal, and a cheer
full home means a cheerful life.
But after having a room proper
ly furnished you can very easily
ruin the harmony of the whole
by a poor selection of fixtures.
Now for the last three years
have been studying everything
that would have a relation to
fixture design. architecture pc
riods of furniture. color match.
ing, principle of design. shape,
rhythm. sketching. and all things
that help me design and make
the proper fixtures for your
home. | am not done. never ex-
pect to be. but think / am fairly
proficient and ready to try.
Today | want you TO call me to
that home of yours and let me
sketch you a suggestion. 1t
wont obligate you. and it might
help. Fixture prices are mighty
low now. and if you do buy you
will get SIPS value for every
dollar you spend.
Yours for service,

Music a Big Feature

|. It is intended to make the
musical program of the Rose
Festival a pronounced feature
this year, something more COM
prehensive than a regular music
festival. Instead of several per-
formances of massive classics.
q much greater number of pro-
grams more readily enjoyed by
average people are to be present
ed. While dignity and the cause
of good music are not TO be sac
rificed. the festival spirit is to
be more thoroughly carried out
by the employment of large
variety of music producing or
ganizations. Music everywhere
and all the time is the idea. And
to carry this out, bodies of mu-
sicians of all kinds. which will
permit the inclusion of almost
any kind of vocal music. Pro-
grams of instrumental and vocal
music are to alternate freely.

tettes or ensemble of any kind. |
Each director is in charge of his |
own society. Grand closing con-
cert by Festival Chorus, special
soloists and military band at the
Armory.
Ii is also planned to give sings |
or song cycles in the various ho-
tel parlors or ball rooms where
il can be arranged. This plan
has been tried out in other festi-
val cities and has proven a very |
effective means of increasing
the festival spirit.
Many musical leaders and or
ganizatiOns have already signi-
fled their intention TO take part. |
and il is the hope that every |
Oregon singer and lover of mu-
sic will join hands in making
this the greatest musical out
burst Oregon has ever enjoyed.
To assist in carrying out the
plans. stands beautifully decor
ated with national eolors and
flowers. will be erected in and

from these the majority of the
programs will be rendered. Prof,

efficient musical instructor and

WILSON CALLS ON BRYAN
No Personal Differences Appear to
Exist Between Two Men.

Washington, June 19.-President
Wilson called on William ]. Bryan and
Mrs. Bryan at Mr.. Bryan's home in
Calumet place. The president was
with his former secretary Of state
about fifteen minutes. He called to
say goodby to Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan,
who will leave for their summer home
in Asheville, N. c., in few days.
Mr.. Bryan issued a statement on
the subject of his reported dissatis.
faction with the treatment he had re
ceived from the president while he
was head of the state department. II
has been suggested that Mr.. Bryan
was dissatisfied with the disposition
of the president to run the affairs OF
the state department in his own way
and often apparently without consult
ing Mr.. Bryan to any great extent.
Mr.. Bryan in his statement says
that all this is mistake; that he was
consulted by the president on every
occasion and that these stories, il
true, would be as much of a reflection
upon the president himself as upon
Mr.. Bryan.
