WOMAN’S PAGE. Practical All-Occasion Suits BY MARY MARSHALL. l For several seasons the two-piece suit, if included in the wardrobe at all, has been restricted to Spring and Autumn. Dresses worn without wraps or with a thin silk wrap have been the usual choice for Summer. With A GOOD SELECTION FOR THE OLDER OR LARGER WOMAN— THIS BLACK SILK CREPE SUIT WITH EGG-SHELL CREPE BLOUSE. THE JACKET FALLS IN SOFT STRAIGHT LINES AND IS A NARROW SCARF the jacket suit playing a leading role throughout the Spring it is only nat- ural to expect a continued interest in this sort of thing throughout the warmer weeks, and there is place in every woman's Summer wardrobe for at least one such costume. As a Summer successor to the strictly tailored suit of covert or mannish ma- terial, there is the conventionally de- signed suit of dark linen or pique. The successor of the tw sports suit may be obtained in the guise of a simple sports suit of shantung or one of the yough cotton fabrics, and the dress- BEDTIME STORIE ! Mrs. Quack’s Proud Moment. In this T'm sure we all agree— A mother's pride is good to see. —Old Mother Nature. Nothing happened to those precious eggs of Mrs. Quack’s. Plenty of wor- ries she had and many moments when she was terribly frightened. But Peter Rabbit and Chatterer the Red Squirrel were the only ones who discovered her secret, and 8o in time those 10 eggs hatched and 10 fuzzy le_ducklings were ready to go for their first swim. It was 2 proud moment for Mrs. Quack when she led them out from under those big, broad skunk cabbage leaves, which had so well protected that nest, and started for the Smiling Pool. But if Mrs. Quack was proud, she was as anxious as she was proud. All the anxiety which had been hers while she was on the nest was nothing compared to the anxiety which she felt now and maker suit of wool crepe finds its coun- terpart in the dressmaker suit of silk crepe. The suit shown in the sketch today is one of the last described sort and a more practical all-occasion suit for the more mature woman could not well be found. To make a costume of this sort ing talents, while the cost of ready- made suits of the sort is unusually reasonable this season. The more complicated sort of home dressmaking seems too difficult when weather is warm and springy. You should have some simple white sew- ing that can be done on the veranda or in the garden.

A lively lot were those bright-eyed babies. Yes, in- deed, they were a lively lot. Mrs. Quack felt as if she needed eyes all over her body to keep track of them. The very first thing she taught them was to mind instantly. She knew that their safety depended on this and she took great pains to make them understand that something dreadful would happen to_them if they didn’t mind. Down to the Laughing Brook Mrs. Quack led them first. laughed to see them paddling about for the first time. They had no more fear of the water than they had of the d_when they had left the nest. Mrs. Quack swam down the Laughing Brook, going slowly, so that the babies could keep up with her. And in this way they reached the Smiling Pool. A proud mother, indeed, was Mrs. Putting a “punch” ‘You would have | Qu: were used. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Quack as she sailed out into the Smil- ing Pool with her 10 babies just back of her, Farmer Brown's Boy happened to come down to the Smiling Pool with some corn just as Mrs. Quack and her bables appeared, and perhaps you can guess how delighted he was. Mrs. Quack came over at once to get the corn that Farmer Brown's Boy threw in the water. ‘The bables didn't know what to make of it when they first saw their mother seeming to stand on her head in the water. They gathered around and just stared at her in round-eyed surprise. Of course, they couldn’t eat yellow corn, as they were so little that they had to have softer food. So presently their mother led them over along the swampy | J edge of the Smiling Pool, where among the tussocks of and bulrushes they could quickly hide in time of dan- ger. There they found insects of vari- ous kinds and they soon were tipping up in the shallow water and searching in the mud below for things to eat. Curiously enough that very night Unc' Billy Possum found the deserted nest. He never had given up looking for it. Every once in a while when he had nothing else to do he would go looking for Mrs. Quack and her nest, and it just happened that the night after that nest was deserted Unc’ Buly, mln' around, happened to push his d under some big skunk cabbage leaves and right into a mass of feathers. ‘They were the feathers with which Mrs. ack had lined her nest. But the nest was empty save for some broken egg- shells, Unc’ Billy didn't waste any time there, His nose told him that that nest hadn't been deserted very long and right away he started to look for those quite as good eating and perhaps bet! eating than the eggs would have been. 930.) ~in young appetites is an easy job for Schindler’s at home requires no unusual dressmak- | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, APRIL Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. April 24, 1865.—A large number of loyal refugees from the Southern States, principally from Virginia and North Carolina, met in this city this morning at the Ebbitt House. After electing Judge Underwcod of Vir- ginia as president of the meeting they g:oceeded in a body to call upon esident Johnson. After arriving at the President's apartments in the Treasury Building, Judge Underwood announced in a few remarks the object of the delegation. The delegates, he said, were from every Southern State and for the most part were “exiles.” He said the recent utterances of President Johnson had “stirred their spirits like a trumpet” and encouraged the hope of a speedy return to ther homes. He expressed their thanks to the President for promising to punish “evildoers” and prayed that the new administration | might be “the protector of the op- pressed” and that the country “may be the home of freedom, liberty, in- dustry, religion and peace.” President Johnson replied briefly, thanking the delegates for comng to see him and expressing gratification at thefr assurances of support. He said i hardly nccessary for him to say that his impulse d the late war_were in sympathy with theirs. The President said he had entered upon the duties of his office under circumstances that are “perilous and responsible,” and, in view of all before him, the position was ‘particularly embarrassing and their assurances pe- culiarly acceptable.” [t was not necessary, President Johnson added, for him to indicate his future course of action. If his past life gave no assurance of what it would be, his grufesslans now would be of no avail, he declared. So far as clemency was concerned, President Johnson said its exercise should be bounded by caution. * He said he was not actuated by revenge, but he had become satisfied that mercy without justice became a crime. He assured the delegates of his in- tention to bring peace at the earliest possible moment. SUB ROSA BY MIMIL A Second Alarm. A girl's ear may be keen to detect false alarm but not so sharp when it comes to telling the difference between the first and the second to say nothing of the third and fourth. She knows when the wedding bells mean business. The only question is whether she can tell how serious the fire is. The fire laddies around the blaze know that the affair is not really a con- flagration until the chief sends in a second alarm and calls for more en- gines. They aren’t worried about a lot of smoke. Your young heart may have warmed up’a bit toward some man, especially now that it's Spring, but that doesn’t mean anything more than a first alarm The chances are that your little flames will succumb to a fire extinguisher if it is working all right. It's when have to send in a second alarm that you should worry. ‘We are supposed to know by means of inside information when we are in love, but a lot of the fire started by the heart may amount to no more than a flash in the pan. The firemen always rspond to a call, even when it's only a burning awning or an oil stove that mistakes itself for a Kkitchen range. But you aren’t in the fire department. You needn't be in a hurry to answer the alarm. A woman's heart has a cloak of as- bestos around it, so that its fires won't burn through. She can keep her feel- ings in a vacuum bottle, where they'll stay warm without showing any tem- perature on the outside. 1If she receives the inside information. she can afford to take some notice of it, but there’s no need of getting ex- cited, still less panicky, just because of the little blaze, Men are all firebugs who like to start little conflagrations just to see what'll happen, but if you don’t supply them with fuel, the fire will soon die out, unless it's the real thing A‘fm may go through one of these love fires only to imagine that the ef- fect 15 & “total loss” when the actual amount of damage is so slight that the attentions of another man will cover it.

It was when he was trying his first case in court. Op- ) posing counsel had ~ charged him wit misrepresenting facts.

And his personal popularity is as great as that of any man on the Hill. Not so long 2go he presented his good friend and colleague, Harry Hawes of Missouri with a dog. It didn't take Hawes long to decide what name his pet should have. “Glad Tydings” was the moniker chosen—a tribute to the donor’s wit and good humor. It took Millard Tydings only 11 years to travel along the political highway from the Maryland House of Delegates to the United States Scnate. And he took time along the way to rise from private to lieutenant colonel during the ‘World War and win the Distinguished Service Medal as well. All of this was before he had reached the age of 37, ‘His rapid rise has left him unchanged. He is still a ‘4 fellow” to all.

When Bernard Shaw's new play “The Apple Cart” opened in Balti- more, and at the last minute one of boys in the press gallery appealed to him for aid in getting tickets, Tyd- ings attended to the request personally and got him the best tickets in the house. A bachelor, he lives in a fine old man- sion in Georgetown. His parties there are smart and attended by some of the jth | most interesting people in Washington. Despite the fact that Tydings’ duties in the Senate require the greater part of his time, he finds opportunity to dabble in the arts. He is a portrait painter of no little ability. He is a writer of verse and an ama- ture playwright. At the conclusion of the war he wrote a history of the ma- chine gun units in France. During the war he was a lleutenant colonel in command of & machine gun battalion that saw heavy fighting. He was uated as a mechanical engineer from the Maryland Agricul- tural College, now a part of the State University, and for a while was with the engineering department of the Bal- timore & Ohio Railroad. His seat in the Senate is on the last row of the Democratic side of the chamber. Most of the time he sits there listening to his colleagues. When he takes part in debate it is with much fire and force. His carroty hair, slender build and ruddy complexion set him apart from his more elderly colleagues. e Five small drawings by Aubrey Beard- sley were sold for $1,535 in London re- cently.

Help Somebody Today. “As we have therefore cpponllnltf. l;t.l us do good unto all men."—Gal, vi.10, Seldom, if ever, does any day pass that we do not have opportunity to do good unto somebody. Think of the people one meets in the course of a day! Can it be possible that we can meet all these people and see no opportunity to be helpful to any of them? Not if we are looking for such opportunity. The trouble with many of us is that we are looking for opportunities to serve ourselves, not to serve others. If we would reverse this order, we would see in every person we meet a chance to do good. ‘What if the person be a stranger? We can at least treat him kindly. If only we speak a pleasant word to him, e may send him away with a lighter eart. Paul's word is that we should do good “unto all men”—not just to those we know, but to the stranger as well; not just to those with whom we have some attachment, but to all with whom we come in contact. This is also the teaching of a greater than Paul. Christ teaches that we are under obligation to love and serve all men. And this teaching He enforced by His example. No one ever came near Him with any real need and went away unblessed. We may not be under obligation to give money to every man who asks for it, but we are under obligation to give our love, and love means whatever help is needed—bread for the hungry, sym- pathy for the sorrowing, and a cheer- ing word for the hard-pressed and struggling. & Consider all this—help somebody to- lay.

Every year there is an influx of youn, girls into New York City, a majority of them bent on éither stage fame or mon- | eyed husbands. Naturally many of those | girls return home, disillusioned and more appreciative of their homes and home towns. Parents try to dm““:‘ke or dissuade their daughters from making the pil- grimage by almost every means but the most effective one. Were they to tell their daughters about the hundreds of girls tramping the streets for the few stage positions available, how frequently engagements are short and involve one-week stands all over the country, maybe things would be different. If these girls could be acquainted with actual conditions, they might not in proportion, so that a young girl may earn $5 more a week in New York, only to find her living costs are $8 to $15 a week higher. A woman—or a man, for that mat- ter—must go where the greatest market exists for her ability and talent. She should, however, make the most of home opportunitiés before venturing afield. away from friends, loved ones and life- long associations. Home offers intangible as well as tan- gible things that money can never re- place. Before king her “zhings" every young girl should consider whether New York offers as much as it deprives her of. Above all, she should not at- tempt to try her luck unless she can finance herself until she becomes estab- i . think their parents’ only concern was | lished. to protect them from the “perils” of what is probably one of the cleanest and safest of cities. It is an employment problem, not a moral one. It is doubtful if a girl can succeed in New York if she has not succeeded at home. In some fields there may be more opportunities, but it is also true there is keener competi- tion. with overabundant supply of talent. Business opportunities are little, if any, greater in New York than eise- | where. Salaries are sometimes & bit| higher, but the cost of living is higher —_———— For Preshly Boiled Vegetables—Four tablespoons butter, two egg yolks, one~ fourth teaspoon salt, one-fourth tea- spoon paprika, one-third cup boiling water and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
