WOMAN’S PAGE. Simple Problems in Dress BY MARY ‘The problem of choosing street cos- tumes that are comfortable, appro- priate, smart—and withal reasonable in price—should be a fairly simple one during the coming Spring and Sum- mer. This agreeable state of affairs has in large measure been brought about by the return to favor of the Jacket suit, which always has certain advantages in the Spring wardrobe over the coat and dress or one-plece dress ensemble.

February 12, 1859.—As soon as the Senate biil for the admission of Ore- this afternoon it was decided to cele- brate the event by a_general serenade. About 9:30 o'clock a large concourse of citizens, headed by the full Marine | Band, marched to Brown’s Hotel, where | Gen. Joseph Lane, Senator-elect from th. new State of Oregon, is stopping. | After several stirring airs had been played by the band, Gov. Stevens of | Washington Territory appeared upon | the balcony and introduced Gen. Lane, who briefly addressed the assemblage. “We have cause to rejoice,” said Gen. Lane. “Our whole country has cause for congratulation, for in my judgment the admission of Oregon is a great | event, a national blessing. “A bulwark has been raised this day |on the rockbound shores of the Pacific against foreign invaders and a fresh assurance has been given for the per- petuation of the Union. Oregon has been settled by the hardy and the en- terprising from every section of the country and I feel sure that her sons will recognize no North, no _South, no East, no West, in the fulfillment of their duties as citizens of the whole Union. “Twenty States have been added to the confederacy since the establishment of our independence, and it is gratify- ing to know that each and every one of them has been admitted under Demo- cratic administrations or by a Demo- cratic Congress. We now have two States on the Pacific Coast and ere long we will have the Territory now represented by my worthy and talented friend, Gov. Stevens, knocking at the doors for admission. Then we will have our portion of the Pacific Coast organ- ized into States to further strengthen the bands of the Union.” Senator-elect Lane referred briefly to his labors in bringing about the passage of the Oregon statehood bill and ex- pressed his personal gratification at the Tesult. After several other speeches had been made the crowd marched to the ‘White House. In response to repeated ‘calls, Presi- dent Buchanan appeared at a window and said a few words. He congratulated the people of Oregon and said he did not expect to veto the bill. Expansion, he said, was in future to be the policy of the country, cowards alone fearing and opposing it. He called for “Yan- kee e,” which was played by the Marine Band in a spirited manner. Before the crowd dispersed it march- ed to several other places and listened to when the weather permits. ‘Though you may wisely hesitate to The Sidewalks other speeches in celebration of the ad- mission of Oregon. of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER. Sitting before a roaring fire, a literary man complained of the modern tendency to employ authors to write concerning events of which they have little or no knowledge. Sporting events find them seated at the ringside or in the press box during world series. “It is & pity,” sald our friend, “that commercialism has fogged our intellectual vision to such an extent that men who are capable of great things allow them- selves to become dollar-a-liners.” Of course, this statement was merely one man’s opinion, and the reader may not lgae with his vier nt. And yet, why should not an excellent writer de- scribe national and world events in his own inimitable fashion? One of the most brilliant prize-fight stories we ever read was written by a man who couldn't fell the difference be- tween a left hook and a right lead Bernard Shaw might well describe a world series in his most Shavian mood. The fact that he would q probably fail to un- derstand the differ- ence between a foul ball and a home run, it seems to us, should not interfere with the spar- kle of his yarn. On the contrary, it| might add to the tale. | True, he might not write: “Sweency | popped to center, and Kelly scored after | the catch.” The man who catches his news on the run naturally would seek the businesslike brevity of a play-by- | play account, but those with leisure would enjoy reading something about Mr. Sweeney, who struck vigorously at a ball which rested in the glove of a | Mr. Casey, following which Mr. Kelly hastened by rapid strides toward a | medieval-appearing gentleman, incased | in a face cage, who wore something re- Sembling a miniature mattress.

About the only game he knew was base ball. One day, two English cricket teams were scheduled to play in his city. The only ericket with which he was familiar was the one on the hearth and that only by hearsay. The sports writers were engaged that day “covering” other events, and the young chap's editor inquired if he knew anything about the lish pastime. Here was his chance to make good, and he replied that he knew all about; it. “Cover this game, th e bogs. The first thing the young reporter did was to visit the hotel where he learned that one of the teams was auginm He listened to the members and other enthusiasts discuss the game. He selzed eagerly upon words and phrases peculiar to the game. Then he visited a library, where he consulted authorities on cricket. The afternoon of the game found him extremely well versed in the fine points of the game and familiar with the vernacular as well. His editor was astonisHed at the excellent story he sent in and a number of British read- ers commented favorably on the story. The youth was immediately assigned to cover all sports, with the result that he became as proficient in that depart- ment as the old-timers. He combined with his skill an uncanny cleverness in the art of fillustrating his own stories. Today his name is known wherever sportsmen foregather and his reports on sports have become classics. * ok % % ‘The following probably would not happen today, but his enterprise and nerve landed an aspiring youth at the top of the heap. He had applied to every newspaper in his city without success. For weeks he sat in a park opposite a large newspaper office and wished that he might be a part of that throbbing, vital profession. Change was at low ebb and his situation was rapidly becoming desperate. Besides, it was cold on a park bench, even though he was warmed by ambition. Finally, he decided upon a bold stroke. He entered the newspaper of- fice at which he had gazed long and yearningly. It was a large “shop” and no attention was paid to him. New men were coming and going all the time. He found a vacant desk and made himself at home even though he That afternoon a now famous edi- tor rushed into the room and, seeing the youth sitting there, immediately instructed him to 0 out on a story. e didn’t stop to inquire of the i:ungm‘nwhether was regularly employed on ".he paper.

He had received his big chance and was going on the assignment before any one should discover that he was an outsider. He returned with a com- gl:u story, and the manner in which handled it pleased the chief," who made some inq oncerning the new man. Of course, he was aston- ished when the truth was revealed and he learned that the stranger had never been employed. Instead of being angered at deceit, the editor caused the young man's name to be attached to the pay roll, and in time the new man rose to high place himself. He is now a noted writer of fiction. - Although we don't actually consume HE RACED FOR THE| 8] cocoa or two juares melted chocolate. Lastly, va- nilla to taste.

We folks of the human race don't know just how to behave so that we have to have all sorts of innumerable laws to control us. Doubtless there are some who make a business of breaking these laws, but most people want to do the right thing. ‘The modern girl, who is breathing ‘the air of freedom as if for the first time in woman's history, is sometimes ill mannered and ill behaved because she doesn’t know how to use the liberty she is supposed to enjoy. But what is she to do? And what book of etiquette or ethics should she buy and read and follow? Undoubtedly there are good books on these subjects, but I have an idea that a cook book of a certain sort may be the best guide, after all. You know how the cook book is careful to tell you about seasoning and sweetening. Well, that's the idea. You must season your conduct and have a good supply of sea- sonings, of allspice. ‘There are lots of things which are in_themselves or bad in them- selves. Whether they are good or bad for you depends upon the way you sea- son them. You must sprinkle these things with thought and common sense. ‘Then they will go down all right. It's & good thing to be kind, but un- less your sense of kindness is sprinkled with good sense, you may make a mess of your affairs. Here's a guy who isn't worthy of your attention, but rather than be mean to him you let him hang around you when he ought to take the air. Or here's a girl who does not help vou mush along the best lines of your life, but you don't want to be snooty so-you let her act as a drag in your young life. The virtue in the case needs a little salt on it, for it's as flat as a cereal which hasn’t been seasoned. Or it may be something that is of a doubtful nature: a dance or a joy ride. It all depends upon the way you treat the affair with common sense. If you get back at a decent hour after you've been out with a decent man, all right. ‘That's the seasoning which such a little expedition needs. There are no set rules about petting, I suppose, but it’s wise to consider the Il effects in the wav of cheapening yourself which this mav involve. The same is true of love.

JDEAR MISS DIX: Which is the more important, health or love? I have been in & sanatorium two years. If I stay in bed 10 more years I will be well. If I marry the man I love I should live and be happy for a short five years. At the end of 10 I think I will be too old to marry, and I think it is too long | to ask a man to wait for me. What should I do? JANE. | Answer.—I do not believe that an invalid or a semi-invalid has any right [ to marry, 8o I should strongly advise you to wait until you are thoroughly cured, no matter how long it i, before you venture into matrimony. | There are many reasons why people who are in bad health should not | marry. The first and most important is, of course, the children. Every child | has a right to be well born and to have a heritage of good red blood, a sound | constitution and an unflawed nervous system. The crime of crimes is to bring 1 into the world a f"‘“- little, sickly, neurotic creature whose whole life must be spent in suffering, in fighting disease and in combating conditions that it has not the stamina to fight. Look about you at the children who are the hapless victims of hereditary maladies. Look at the pitiful, malformed, distorted children who are paying with warped bodies and vacuous minds the price of their anm' diseases. Look at the worn, stunted, anemic little ones who die like flies in infancy or else struggle on a few years before they perish because their weak and sickly parents had no strength to give them. Is there any selfishness greater than that of the men and women who, to gratify their own love, force such a fate on their unfortunate offspring? ick men and women have no right to marry because they lay too heavy & burdesn on those whom they marry. Health is almost the most necessary attribute in a successful marriage. Not only because the invalid husband or wife is a great care, but because there can be no normal, cheerful life in a household in which there is an invalid. And also because invalids are almost invariably hard to get along with and make & greater draft on the patience and forbearance of those who live with them than they can stand. ry romantic and picturesque to a young girl to marry a man who II.: fl“&’n&ve:lx& Y:ng spend the bdl‘:lca of her life mlnm.er‘ng to him, but she soon finds out that it is difficult to keep a hero on a pedestal who is fretful and peevish and unreasonable and who has a thousand whims that have to be catered to, and who must be petted and cajoled because he is sick. Likewise, being human, duliness of the sick room palls upon her after a while and she chafes at being tied to an invalid’s bed or wheel chair and not being able to take any part in the ordinary pleasures and gayeties of life. And all of these troubles are magnified a thousandfold if, in addition to nursing her invalid, she has to work and support him. And men get exactly the same reaction to an invalid wife. A man's sym- pathy s‘}ld hl.sggallmcry may prompt him to marry a sick woman in order to take care of her, but he, 100, soon grows tired of listening to the complaints and symptoms of an ailing woman. He finds it dull to come home to a house that is hushed and darkened and where he must walk on tiptoe because of his wife's poor nerves or her bad head, and he would be more than mortal if he did not resent seeing most of his money go for doctors and nurses and sana- toriums. f course, if a man or woman is smitten down with a disease after mar- rlue?ttm. 1s & misfortune that none can help, and any decent-minded husband or wife will be all the tenderer and more devoted to the poor sufferer and do all in his or her power to lighten the affiictio this is different from an invalid's deliberately getting married and l{y“:nl the handicap of his or her own ill health on another. Nothing but utter selfishness makes a man or woman do that. .

GLASS. “IN A TEMPEST OF RAGE, HE S'I'RUC‘K’ HER AND TRIED TO STRANGLE One of the last scandals of the late imperial regime in Germany and Aus tria was the second marriage, of old Duks Ludwig of Bava: The duke’s family was an unfortunate one. Of his five sisters, Empress Eliza- beth of Austria, wife of Franz Josep was assassinated. A second was accl- dentally burned to death. Another was dethroned, and two others lived tragi- cally sad lives, For most of his life Duke Ludwig avolded the sorrows of his relatives. He married for love, picked as his wife a beautiful Viennese actress, Henrletta Mendel, renounced succession to the Bavarian throne, and forsook politics. Henrletta made him a good wife, and he lived happily until her death. ‘This sad event plunged him into ill- ness and despair, from which nothing, it seemed, could deliver him. Then he met a middle-aged Prussian woman, Mme. von Bartoll, Strangely enough, Kaiser Wilhelm, who abhorred morganatic marriages, favored this one. It is said that hopes were dangled before Mme. von Bartoll that she would be made a duchess in her own right and received by the Bavarian royal family if she would play nurse to the duke in his last days. ‘These hopes entangled her in & tally une ted morass of unh!;:pl- ness. Curlously enough, Duke iwig had no sooner made her his wife than he began to hate her. ‘The wedding ceremony had scarcely ended when the memory of his dear Henrietta came back to him with such force that he loathed himself for ever having forgotten her, and his second wife for having helped him to do so. He almost assaulted Mme. von Bartoll in _the presence of the priests. His wife was unable to understand his sudden aversion. When they were alone in palace she sought to put her arms around him. In a tem) of he struck her Servants ning in answer to her cries found that she had retreated to her room and locked herself in. Night after night the palace rang with the screams of the unfortunate woman. More than once the servants saved her from being murdered.

Above the trees of Arlington Ceme- tery, centenarian white oaks in silvery nakedness, rises the crow's-nest of the battleship Maine, symbol of defeats and victories in the days when battleships still had such quaint old ornaments as en masts and crow's-nests. But the great crow’s-nest of Arlington is a one, or rather a colony of nests. Master Crow, showiest, noisiest and most lovable bird of Winter, has picked on Arlington Hill as his favorite Win- ter quarters of this part of the coun- try, and this he did for some reason best known to his wily old brain, in the days before the protection afforded by consecrated ground had been extended to_the oak-hung hill. The Arlington ‘“rookery” tempted to invent the word “crowery,” since we have no rooks in America) has contained as many as 10,000 crows, if memory serves me rightly. ‘The common crow is not quite a mi- gratory bird; or rather, in Summer he spreads into every corner of the coun- try, while in Winter he withdraws to be near his own kind, preferring the mid- dle latitudes. The great center of ¢row hibernation in Winter on the Atlantic seaboard is the Chesapeake Bay region. The lessened snowfall is perhaps one ex- planation of this fact, for his sagacious eye is able easily to find his favored foods in our region. But even when the weather is very severe thousands of crows obstinately remain in the Arling- ton rookery. One Winter it was so cold that the corneas of their eyes were frozen, and, being blind, they died of starvation. There have also been at least two eri- demics in the famous old rookery of a sort of throat disease producing effects like asthma or diphtheria and causing death by strangulation. Epidemics are not by any means con. fined to human bein animals, living in onjes like crows, are subject to them. A disease of bees runs through a beehive the way con- sumption runs through a dark and dusty tenement building. Caterpillars, swal- lows and many others have their plagues and parasites. ‘The Arlington rookery, with its fluc- mntm&epopulluen. 1llustrates to perfec- tion operation of natural factors controlling social growth. The colony cannot grow bigger than the food supply; when it does it has to scatter or starve. And it may shrink far below the food pply, owing to accidents like disease and blizzards. ‘The crow is also typical of the sort of animal that is going to survive in the struggle for existence—and nowadays at means the struggle to adapt life to man-made conditions. As a destroyer of crop pests the crow is very useful to man, and at the same time he is a very successful grain thief himself. He is 'WAary, not icky with respect to food, and his system of sentinels and caw als has a military efficiency that in- sures him success that no other birds can approximate.
