¥ WOMAN'S PAGE? Sublime Hours in American History When Lee and Grant Met in a Little Virginia Farmhouse to Heal a Nation’s Painful Wounds. BY J. P. GLASS. THE WAR IS OVER.~ WE ARE ALL ‘This is the first of a serles of storles de- geribing “human_ interest” _episodes from history " touching all times, places and peo- ents of “‘Sublime Hours in Cw detailing events in which ons, loves, hates. envies, charities, . kindnesses, pettinesses, nobilities, etc., of man have played a part. Gen. Lee and Gen. Grant met in a simple frame farmhouse near Appo- mattox, Va, to set the stage for the reunion of the North and South. As they stood in the almost bare little parlor they contrasted sharply. Lee was tall, stalwart, handsome, be- comingly dressed. Grant, physically in- significant, had only a pair of shoulder straps on his soiled private's blouse to proclaim his rank. ‘The chatted informally a while. But Gen. Lee would not delay his for- mal acquiesence in defeat. “I asked to see you, Gen. Grant,” he said, “to ascertain upon what terms you would receive the surrender of my army.” “Officers and men must be prisoners of war,” the Northern general said, “but they would be paroled to their homes.” Gen. Lee replied that if Grant would put the stipulation in writing he was ready to sign. Gen. Grant sat cown at a little table and began to write. At one point the glitter of the other’s sword caught his eye and he at once inserted a clause which brought the meeting to & new plane of nobility. He wrote that the Southern officers would retain their side arms, horses and personal property. This meant that Gen. Lee would not have to hand over his sword. “This will have a good effect .on the army,” he observed when he read it. He paused, and added that perhaps the soldiers of the cavalry and artillery arms could be allowed to take home their horses, which belonged to them. Grant replied: “I know that the men, and, indeed, the whole South, are impoverished. I will instruct my officers who- receive the paroles to allow the cavalry and artillery men to retain their horses and take them home to.work their farms.” Gen, Lee had one more request to make. His men were actually starving. Could Gen. Grant ration them? Grant commanded his commissariat to feed the Army of Virginia that very night. The papers of surrender were signed and the two commanders shook hands. The Northern officers, following Lee to the porch, saluted as he mounted his celebrated horse, Traveler, and rode off. Back in the Confederates lines Lee's men, breaking ranks, ran up and strug- gled to touch his hands. Tears rolled down his cheeks. “Men,” he said, “we have feught through the war together. I have done the best I could for you.” Returning to his own headquarters, meantime, Gen. Grant was met by the firing of salutes. He ordered them stopped at once. “The war is over,” he said. “We are all countrymen again.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif,, April 22— Mary Duncan, one of the svelte beauties of Hollywood, is maintaining the Holly- wooden angle of an existence which threatens to be swallowed up completely by hard work. Mary, invalided with bruises, cuts and a reported skull fracture, tells three stories of how she acquired the indisposition. She says she accepted a ride from a strange man, when her two cars both broke down and she was on the way to a bus. The strange man beat Mary up. And after inviting her to ride! On second thoughts she tells inves- tigators that the odor of some cans of paint in the back of his car made her faint. One moment he is a tall, dark man; the next moment & nervous, thin little creature. Her press agent says she fell off a stepladder in her own home, Mary Duncan is a headliner in pul- chritude and a post-graduate in je ne sais quoi. She is temperamental and doesn’t care who knows it. She is whimsical—her accounts of accidents wverify that. She is evidently convinced that in- vestigators have a vast credulity and very little gray matter to back it up. ‘Why should a featured player receiving the sort of salary Mary Duncan gets ignore the taxi service? It could be better, I admit, but it beats the bus every time.

Now that Pola Negri has forsaken the colony and Mary Pickford rarely appears in public at luncheon time, big names are not to be ignored. And the patient erowd will stand until sundown to peer at her as she passes. Stuart Blackton is one of the men who helped make Hollywood. His daughter, accustomed to ways of the colony from her earliest youth, testifies in her divorce proceeding against Gar- diner James, sctor, that both she and her husband “went Hollywood.” In this case the principals describe “going Hollywood” as opening their home to the local crowd, who came and “made whoopee” therein. On such oc- casions the husband and wife invariably fought, the subject of argument being who was the better histrionist. A judge settled their difficulties per- marently. But don’'t wonder when strangers come here and fall victims to the insidious disease. Whoopee and ex- travagance are in the air. So is a pathetic dearth of what is lcomrmmly known as the “King's Eng- Monte Blue in an opus which the Warners turned on an unsuspecting public says impressively: “I've come back like I told you I would.” It was one of those grueling tales where tons of rolled oats were tossed about by wind machines.

The firm, moist crumb of Rice’s Bread keeps its creamy consistency and appetizing flavor. The loaf is such a convenient shape and the golden crust so tender, that sandwiches look well even with crusts left on. You can slice it paper thin while it is still oven-fresh, too. Fresh, rich milk and extra shortening, slow baking clear through in the famous split-top loaf give Rice’s Bread the deliciously different flavor that makes it so marvelous, not only for toast and plain bread-and-butter but for sand- wiches. All the familiar bread dishes, too, have a new richer flavor when you use Rice’s for them. Try it for brown betty, canapes, crumb griddle cakes, French toast, or bread pudding.
