INAUGURAL PAGEANT ¥ % Washington to Hoover BY ALEXANDER R. GEORGE. Andrew Johnson. BY ALEXANDER R. GEORGE. Associated Press Feature. 'HREE hours after the death of 4 Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, erstwhile tailor, who had been taught by his wife to write atd figure, began his turbulent administration as the seventeenth Presi- dent of the United States. Johnsoza who was Democratic war- time Governor of Tennessee and a bitter opponent of secession, took the cath of office in his rooms at the Kirkwood House, now the site of the Rajeigh Hotel, in Washing- ton. The oath was administered by Chief Justice Sal- mon P. Chase, in the presence of members of the cabinet and a small group of Senators and = Representa- tives. A grief-stunned city and Union paid scant atten- tion to the induc- tion of the new President and there were no inaugural e ‘ceremonies. For weeks after Lincoln's deatl tHe news- papers had black bordered columns devoted to the “national calamity,” the hunt for the assassins and demands for p\erxlshment of the “conspirators.” he military power of the Con- federacy was crushed, the war was coming to & close and Jefferson Davis was 2 fugitive with an offer of $100,000 reward by President Johnson for his capture. The Washington Evening Star. displayed in bold letters a headline which read: “Jeff Davis is Skedaddling for Texas with 2,000 Rebel Cavalry, A Gloomy Cavalcade.” During the Johnson occupancy of the White House there was a continual pro- cession of job hunters and pardon seekers. A newspaper of the day said: “Hundreds of pardon seekers daily besiege the White House. They crowd into the anteroom and are ushered into the President’s presence; if found all right on the record, they. are pardoned, otherwise not. President Johnson is still busy pardoning Southerners who are worth more than $20,000, about 3,000 having taken out their papers, wWhile about 50,000 applications have been made.” The press of the period laments the entrance of women into politics in the role of lobbyists: “It is a noticeable fact, and by no means a credit to the age, that there is a growing Inclination to-use the gentler sex in manipulating the politi- cal wires. In the lobbles of Congress during the last week, about the depart- ments at all times and at the White House, this element largely prevails. “And it is observable that they are not the wives, sisters or daughters of those whose interests they represent. In most cases they are purely profes- sional wire-pullers, who for a consid- eration undertake the prosecution of any_claim, secure the appointment of their principals to office, or labor for the passage of bills. . “Relying on the deference usually paid to the sex, they thrust themselves in where the most venturesome man would be repulsed; and once obtaining the official ear they plead their cause with a pertinacity that will not be denied.” Senator J. R. Doolittle of Wisconsin, a _contemporary, describes President Johnson as of “full medium stature, compact and °strongly ' built, -of - dark complexion and deep set black eyes. He is of strong intellect, indomitable ener- gy and iron will” The gloom which the war and the death of Lincoln placed on the White House was dispelled in time, and social events regained some of their old bril- liancy. Mrs. Johnson was an invalid, her two daughters acting as hostesses at the Executive Mansion. A contem- porary writes of the change: “The most gorgeous display of rich toilets has now taken the place of the blue overcoats of the private soldiers from the uh::med the display of fancy calors by t] jegroes. “Ladies arrayed in their rich silks, satins, tarletons and velvets, with their diamonds and jewels, now grace the gatherings. Gentlemen now consider it necessary to appear in their party at- tire. The general appearance of the rooms when the guests have gathered is that of a fancy dress It is doubtful if any of those grand balls in New York can surpass the brilllancy of the dress at these receptions.” MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif,, February 15.— T have just been holding session with a man who has been working on a film strip showing the famous arriving at a Hollywood first night. He has been “taking out the family sequences,” as he calls it. “Family sequences?” I echoed. “What do you mean by that?” “Come into the projection room,” sez I did. I saw gentlemen shove their unknown wives out of the way in order to bow and smile int)> the camera eye unimproved. I saw famous ladies ma- neuver to get away from the parties of mple by whom they were surrounded t they might take the limelight ab- solutely solo. I saw people nobody knew or saw before smiling blandly and benignly. It’s a lesson in human nature, is a pre- miere. But oply the cameraman and th> cutter really know the bitter angles of its humor, When the film is edited for public showing one gets only fat and well poised producers, facing the world with & “God bless-us-all” look that rivals Ty Tim. But I've seen the unedited celluloid. They act just the way the home town's worst egotists behave at the Sunday pichic—and we've all known them. Evyelashes in Movieland are a matter of srt. Years ago the leading lady sat long hours at the dressing table build- g up a set of wax lashes that took time and patience to achieve. In cinema circles eyelashes are ob- tained in this wise: A patient gentle- man (usually of foreign birth, for abroad time doesn't mean so much money as in the U. S. A) threads hu- man hair into fishskin. The hair, of uneven lengths, is then curled to have the matural flair of lashes. And .the total result is a long fringe of dainty, silken, curring hair, which is snipped off just the length of the eyelid of the Jady to be adorned. No shenanigans about it, either. Joan Crawford wears them in her latest picture, and she doesn’t deny it. She's proud to boast that she has the finest set in a1l Hollywood. Greta Nissen always wore them when she was here in the village, and not only before the camera. At many a party Greta's eyelashes were a subject of discussion. Nor did those closest to her realize they were false. The secret lies in the strip en the eyelid. It blends in perfectly with the lid. Still another beauty who wears these Jashes in many of her street appear- ances is Irene Rich. They lend pi- quancy to this unbelievably lovely face. Irene Rich fans soon will see her in a vaudeville tour. They will be disap- MERRICK. earth in the brief time she appears be- fore the audience—prison shoes, shabby black gown. I slipped down to Long Beach, where the Rich was having her tryout, be- cause I wanted to get her reactions. Irene Rich wants to play the roles that are legitimately hers. And actresses of the speaking stage have been getting them in the talkies. So she has gone on the speaking stage to get the ex- perience and the name. Bessie Love went into vaudeville to earn the break which she recently has had. You can take her roles away from her and fail to give her engagements, but you can't break a trouper’s spirit.

Only a real ex- fert can use an iron just hot enough 0 wave hair without having it too hot. It's difficult for you to do it your- seH. It's much easier to give yourself a water wave with combs after a shampoo. But there are times when you can't do this. If you have an hour to let the hair stay under a cap, while you dress or do some other work, I'd suggest you It cracks and dries it if it does | iro: use the kid-covered curlers they used to use on children, wrapping strands of the hair in these, knotting them and putting a cap on to co\{:r qu t“;: not edifying temporary resuit. Ju you can’t take this method of a soft but not lasting wave, then use a heated n. If you do nothing more than turn under the ends of the hair, you give your head a more finished appearance. If you can slip the iron under the hair and pull it into a suggestion of a loose wave, you'll break up tired and draggy lines that the face may have. But don't attempt a marcel. You couldn't, and if you did the effect would be artificial and hard. Straight hair is very pretty and youthful, but wavy hair does make a tired face look less so. Miss T. M.—To reduce your hips and waist line try raising arms above your head and then with a sweeping forward movement bring them downward until your finger tips touch the floor, while keeping the legs straight and not bend- ing at the knee. Massage the extra flesh from your ankles. Basket ball, tennis or swimming will help you get rid of all this extra weight about the hips and waist line besides improving your figure all over. Miss G. 8.—You are not underweight at 124 pounds, height 5 feet 4 inches and age 24 years. The proportions you give are as near perfect as any one could desire. FOOD P Mrs. G—To help you get over the habit of biting your nails, try painting any harmless pungent lotion under their tips. Bitter aloes is a harmless thing that has been ussd for genera- tions for this purpose, and it can be bought at any drug store. A. B—You can use cocoa butter to massage the instep and get the same results you would when using this same oil anywhere else on the body. Never use this or any other heavy oil on the face. A good chiropodist can keep down the size of your bunion, but it is doubtful if you could ever get rid of it entirely. Wondering—B. L. M—J. F.

To one quart, of berries add two cup= fuls of sugar and one and one-half cup- fuls of water. It is necessary when using a fireless cooker to cook the sugar with the berries. Boil for five minutes and then place in the cooker without a soapstone over night. Cooked in this w the berries will retain their pere fecs round shape, but will be thoroughly caoked. These fireless-cooked berries are free from all strong acid flavor, to which some people object.
