WOMAN'’S PAGE.' Order and Disorder, Home Factors BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. It is rative that a home be kept hur%“ for unless it is there can be no restful atmosphere.

There are times, however, when haste is imperative. Quick action must be taken, perhaps, to catch a train found to leave sooner than anticipated. Per- haps to take advantage of some pleas- ure that would otherwise have to be missed, perhaps for some emergency minus joy. Whatever the reason, such haste gen- erally is accompanied by some disor- der. There is not time to put away the hat box, to slip the discarded shoes into their proper place, or do any of the many little things one otherwise would do before going out. When one returns the rooms will be in more or less con- fusion and one may regret having the place look in disorder, but this is a time to remember the disorder is but TEMPORARY DISARRANGEMENT OF ROOMS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE NECESSITY OF A HASTY DEPARTURE FROM HOME. wise there is present an attitude of mental confusion that is as diquieting to nerves as the disarray is disturbing to the eye. A little glimpse into the causes of disorder may be helpful in eliminating the trouble. Haste is a factor in disorder that every person has to remember at one The Daily Cros temporary. Put the things in the preper places as soon as possible and forget about the confusion. There is one time when a certain dis- order in a house indicates good man- agement, although it would appear just the contrary. For instance in metro- politan shopping districts more can be accomplished in one hour between 9 and 10, before the crowd comes, than can be done in twice the time after- ward. To leave beds airing and dishes stacked in order to seize the opportune time to shop, means conservation of energy, saving of time and even peace of mind. By returning at the end of the short early period, resting 20 minutes or half an hour and then clearing up the things and setting the house to rights. an actual gain made without disturbing any one. When carelessness is a cause for dis- order, a change of attitude must be ac- complished before order can reign, It is important to the well being of a fam- ily that any temporary disarrangement of rooms be speedily rectified, since dis- order is wearisome to the sight and con- fusing to the mind.

WE may not realize it, but among the most valuable of our acquaintances are those who are awful warnings to us—sort of human scarecrows that frighten us off from the flesh pots, and stiffen our backbones when we are tempted to slump down and take the easiest way. If, when we are 50 years old, we are :léting pretty on the sunny side of Easy street instead of dozgln( up back alleys trying to avoid the butcher and the baker and the landlord to whom we owe money, we owe our prosperity to a large extent to Tom A. Tom is a pitiable figure—old, broken in health and spirit, shabby, down at the heel, cashing in his old friendships on small loans that he never repays, yet for 40 years he held a high-salaried position in a big company. Tom lived up to the limit of his income. He never put aside a dollar for the proverbial rainy day. He shut his eyes to the fact that age was bound to come, and that the danger of sickness and some change in the management of his firm that might throw him out of employment hung, like the sword of Damocles, over his head. He was a good spender, and he literally blew in a big fortune on fine clothes, and cars, and restaurants, and night clubs. So when the crash came, when his productive years were over and he could no longer compete with young men and he lost his job, and could find nothing to do because no other firm would hire an old man, he was left destitute, with not a dollar to fall back upon. That is why the plight of old Tom is money in the bank for us, and makes us wear our Winter overcoats another season, and make the old car do, and resist the temptation of a brand-new radio with all the newest thingamagig attach- ments. He is our awful warning against spending everything we make as we sl r e AND there is Bob B. A good fellow. Kindly. Plenty of ability. But nobody wants to do business with him, and in society people flee from him as if he had the leprosy, because of his colossal self-conceit. ‘Wherever he goes he monopolizes the conversation by monologuing about himself and telling now great and wonderful he is, and what a remarkable family he has, ana how he could have saved the president from making some mortifying mistakes if only he had been consulted. Apparently he considers that the world is waiting in breathless suspense to hear every detail of his golf game, and the cute thing his baby did, and how many miles he makes in his car on a gallon of gas, and how superior every- is to the roor things others have. If he ever notices how in an agony of boredom under his boastings, it does not touch heart with pity enough to make him spare them. Bob B. is an awful warning to us not to talk about ourselves or our affairs, lndhnclusuubmnyltlmewcllmpdovnluodmdhlldmflulofl.p!dll when we would dearly like to broadcast our own e:fllom. and tell what we said to the boss and the boss said to us, and the re: ly clever thing that our little Johnny did. So we might go on with a hundred illustrations—qld Col. So-and-So who has gorged himself on rich food for 30 years and is an obese old creature due for an apoplectic stroke any day. Sam C. who drowned a brilllant mind in drink and who is a down-and-outer instead of being a headliner among men as he promised to be in youth, Arthur D., who went the pace that kills, and who is paying for it in premature senility, a shufling paralytic stumbling from chair to bed. Charles E,, who forsook his faithful old wife for a gold-digging flapper who is playing around with other men, while he sits at home alone and nurses his rheumatic joints by the radiator. They are all our awful warnings that make us cut out the pie and the cheese, and take more exercise, and pass up the bootlegger liquor, and resist vamps, and that keep us herded on th.e s!ni.lhl and narrow way. WHAT we women owe to our friends who are awful warnings only that expert accountant, the recording angel, knows. But I am here to tell you that it is the red’lantern, erected by some sister woman at the hairpin turn, that keeps many & one of us from skidding over into the ditch, and prevents us from bumping the bumps of foolishness at high speed. For example, none of us ever feel old as we look. We are still mere girls at heart, and such being the case it is always a temptation to dress ourselves like debutantes. 3 We would do it, too, except for Mrs. A., who tilts the scales at 200, and lool:s a figure of fun in frocks that belong to her granddaughter. It is after we take one look at that awful warning that we decide on black lace and let down our hems a couple of inches. 1t is after we have spent an afternoon with Mrs. B., who radiates a dark blue aura, and who spends the time telling you of her symptoms, and her two major operations, and how her husband doesn’t understand her, and how un- grateful her children are, and how put upon s woman is who has to keep a house and raise a family, that you come home & cast-iron resolve to keep on smiling no matter what happens, and never to erate into a whiner, It is Mrs, C.'s ill-mannered, spoiled brats, that are a pest and nuisance, that brace you up to enforce discipline in your own family, and sters obedience, and decency and respect for other people’s children are awful wa 5 You don't want yours to be people that everybody hates.

While Nancy and her husband went South, Lois and Roger went North. Business took him to Canada, and he begged Lois to go with him. They were both fond of outdoor sports, so she had the time of her life. She needed special clothes, of course. Her first choice was a coat and riding breeches of green gabardine. The coat had zipper closing. With this she wore & matching cap, scarf, woolen gloves and short woolen socks which went on over the extra warm woolen ones, which were full length. She was overjoyed to find that bril- liant colors were so fashionable for Winter. sports. She said that she saw red birds, blue birds and many other brilliant-hued birds in the folks who crowded the hotel at the height of the Winter sports season. For skating she had a different out- fit. Her slip-over sweater was a heavy| to and yet soft and flexible affair‘of striped blue and white wool. She had long trousers of heavy blue woolen ma- terial. ‘The trousers had cuffs which fastened high on the leg and gave a bloused ice to the outfit. She FEATURES., BY ALEXANDER R. GEORGE. Thomas Jefferson. lel & boarding house on New Jersey avenue, Thomas Jefferson went tc the Capitol to take the oath of office as President, and to this board- ing house he returned when the cere- mony was over. There he had spent the Winter with other “plain people,” enjoying their company and the beautiful view from the hill, loath to take up his residence in the “half finished executive man- sion a mile away in the swamp. Jefferson, “apostle of the masses” and founder of the Democratic party of today, was the first President inaugu- rated in_Washington. George Wash- ington’s first inauguration took place in New York, his second and that of John Adams in Philadelphia. The seat of government had been moved from Philadelphia to Washing- ton in 1800, and November 27 of that year, Jefferson arrived in Washington from his home at Monticello and took lodgings at the boarding house about 200 steps from the Capitol. Although. there was booming of can- nen, a large attendance of out-of-town people and some festivities, the inaugu- ration apparently was of Jeffersonian simplicity. John Davis, an English traveler of the day, contributes this de- scription: “His dress was of plain cloth, and he rode on horseback to the Capitol without a single guard or even servant in his train, dismounted without assistance and hitched the bridle of his horse to the palisades.” Other chroniclers say, however, that Davis evidently confused Jeffersow's entrance into with his exit from the presidency. ~Mis. Upton in her “Our Early Presidents” says: “Mr. Jefferson, like ‘Washington, was fond of horses, handsome equipages and handsome dress, despite what has been said of his Republican simplicity. He may have ridden horseback up to the Capitol for his inauguration, as goes the myth. but he meant to have a fine coach and four for the occasion—only. Jacky . his son-in-law, did not get to Washington with them in season.” "wmt is ronrde(: u; ‘c“n:'ifl."’""” con- Mporary account of uguration was published in the National Intel gencer of March 6, 1801. It said: “A discharge from the company of Wash- ington artillery ushered in the day, and about 10 o'clock the Alexandria com- pany of rifemen, with the company of | d; artillery, paraded in front of the Presi- dent’s lod . % “At 12 o'clock, Thomas Jefferson, at- tended by a number of his fellow citi- 2ens, repaired to the Capitol.

John Quincy Adams, who was to be- come the sixth President, briefly gives his impressions of the inauguration: “The House was very much crowded and its appearance very magnificent. Mr. Madison made a very short speech in a tone of voice so low he could not be heard, after which the official oath was administered to him by Chief Jus- tice Marshall. After the ceremony was over I went to pay the visit of custom. The company was received at Mr. Madi- son’s house, he not having yet removed to_the President’s house.” The event had drawn a record-break- ing crowd to Washington. At the after- noon reception every room in the house was filled any many guests had to wait half an hour before they could get in. Esther Singleton in her “Story of the White House” says: “Mr. and Mis. Madison stood near the door of the drawing room to receive the guests, she, as usual, the dominating personality. She wore a plain cambric |dress with a very long train, plain around the neck, without any kerchief, and a beautiful bonnet of purple velvet and white satin with white plumes. “At the opening of the inaugural ball in the evening the band played ‘Jeffer- son’s March’ in honor of the retiring President, who entered the hall with Mr. Coles. He sald to a friend: ‘Am I too early? You must tell me how to behave, for it is more than 40 years since I have been to a ball.’ The Presi- dent's party entered as the band played ‘Madison’s March.’ “Mrs. Madison came first, on the arm of one of the managers, wearing a cos- tume of pale buff velvet with a long train devoid of Her head- ress was sent from Paris, and made of the same velvet, trimmed with white satin and two birds of paradise plumes.
