! In the Hotel de Vile Getty hall) in
Paris, where receptions are held in
honor OF notabilities. there is a last
| ing tribute to Yvette Guilbert. Bouge-
reau has made her the principal figure
of his decoration and placed her there
| representing GLORY in the act of re-
ce:.ing the world Ga Glorie acceullant
! le monde). In this same building there
| is also 4 further expression of the re-
| gard in which her own country holds
| her in q statue portraying her as one CT
| the leading cities of France.
i The mother of Yvette Guilbert was
woman of excellent fanily-an unusual
woman in every sense of the word--but
her choice of a husband proved unfor-
/ tunate. Yyette's father developed
profound belief in the rights of women
| to work--one of mis- fayo:ite aNloms
being, and if you were widow? TINS
evidently relieved his conscience OF all
| further responsibilities. So from the
beginning Yvettc Gui;bert had 40 iilu-
sions regarding lifc--or love.
AS she mas said herself: AN artists
'ife ought 10 have experienced every
Kind ot trouble and difficulty. l have
known those OF poverty, failure aAo III
health" Her earliest memories are
those of "a mother working with that
energy with which only 4 superior
woman is endowed-the lamp burning
late into the nisht-and a man coming
home late with his pockets empued at
the gaming table" Despite all this SUI
fcring there was one factor in her life
to be reckoned with-Yvette Gullbert
had "A wonderful mother.
The years that followed were those OF
the bitterest privations. Mother ana
daughter supported themselves IN turn
by millinery. lace work. bead work,
children's clothes. dreSSma king, hosiery
or whatever came their way. During
the dull seasons furniture and linen
were disposed of in order to buy 1000.
The beds alone We're saved from the
wreckage, though on one occasion
when the child was i'll the mother sold
her own mattress to pay for medicine
Ten hours a day they would work over
hats and then from to II at night they
would walk miles carrying boxes ana
bags of samples, anvassing for orders,
when the weather was bad. with soak
ed feet and the misery was theirs OF
having to wear the next morning SHOES
and clothes still damp from the night
before.
At the age of sixteen 1t was oeciueo
that Yvette Guilbert should obtain
situation. So she took position as d
cloak model at a tailor's, for which she
received her food, clothing and rs francs
a month But the strain of the Wofh
was too great. Her next situation was
that of a saleswoman. but the food was
so bad that after eight months she
could endure it no longer TEen she
and her mother started a dressmaktnS
establishment. Owing to the bad debts
incurred by society women the venture
fell through.

GOVERNOR PROCLAlNS
RED CROSS CHRISTMAS
Membership Drive Commend
ed and People Are Urged
to Support 1t

Expressing the determination to do
everything in his power TO aid the
Christmas membership campaign for
24O, 900 members in Oregon of the Am
erican Red Cross, Governor James
Withycombe today issued a proclama-
tion calling upon every Oregon house
hold to be represented in Hthe great
union of the American Red Cross" and
thus to make this Red Cross Christ
mas by giving a Christmas present
to humanity
The governor of Oregon is the first
governor in the United States to issue
a Red Cross proclamation Others are
expected to follow in rapid succession.
Following is the proelamation:
"'Executive Department, Salem, De.
cember Is, 1917.
"At this holiday season of the year
when, following time honored custom,
Tile spirit of giving prevails in every
home of the land, it is entirely fitting
and proper that each true American
should feel disposed to give such sup
mort as he can afford to that great
humanitarian arm Of the federal gov
ernment known as the American Red
Gross.
"This is our first Christmas in the
world war. It is our first opportunity
TO minele with the usual holiday at
mosphere a responsiveness to the most
merciful and eloquent appeal for defl-
mite service that has ever been made
fo humane hearts. The larger part of
the so called civilized world is in dis
tress There are painful wounds to
heal. torn bodies and souls that need
ministry. There is no better, surer,
ouicker avenue of relief than through
the undenominational agency of the
American Red Cross whose noble otfl-
GERS have undertaken to mobilize the
heart and soul and wealth of America
toward binding up the wounds OF a
bleeding world.
UNo matter how much we may give
for the tender care of our soldiers and
sailors we who are obliged to play our
narts at home must feel that any hard
ships and sacrifices endured by us are
negligible in the light of the supreme
Ilabors performed by the stalwart sons
of the land. The more we give the soon
err this terrible war will end and the
sooner an enduring peace will blazon
IFS course across the now dull horizon
"Now therefore, J., James Wlthy-
eombe. governor of the state of Ore
gon, by virtue of the authority IN me
vested do most Earnestly commend
the Christmas membership drive OF the
Red Cross to the cheerful support OF
the people Of Oregon, and urge upon
each Oregon household the imperative
necessity of making this truly a Red
Cross Christmas by giving Christmas
present to humanity Let every Ore
gon home be represented in the great
union of the Red rCoss.
In testimony whereof, [ have here
unto set my hand and caused the great
seal Of the state of Oregon to be af-
fixed this 14th day of December, 1917.
