The great advantage of the present fashion for inexpensive costume neck- laces is that they make it possible for every one to choose ornaments that are precisely appropriate for the dress with which they are to be worn. Another advantage les in the fact that these less expensive ornaments are light in weight. Strings of what appear to be solid gold or silver beads, copled from charming old originals, are amazingly light, and pendant earrings which in their earlier versions would have pulled a:wnmlobuotthgemlruvery ht. Another advantage in most of the modern jewelry is that it is made of MARSHALL. metal and other compositions that leave no line of tarnish on the skin. 1t ‘you would like to make a hose supporter girdle from ribbon and elastic send for this week's circular which gives full directions.

CRAIG. y 1, 1865.—President Lincoln's body, with the funeral cortege, has ar- rived at Chicago, in his home State of TMnois, according to telegraphic dis- patches received in official quarters here today. All along the line from Indianapolis —just the same as everywhere else along the route from Washington—there were mourning demonstrations. Speaker Col- fax of the House of Representatives, Senator Trumbull, Judge Davis and a committee of 100 men from Chicago joined the party in that city. In order to give definite shape to the desire so generally expressed that a suit- able monument should be erected in this city to the memory of Abraham Lin- coln, the city councils of Washington have taken action resulting in the for- mation of an association to be called the Lincoln National Monument Asso- ciation, with the following officers: President, Richard Wallach, Mayor of Washington; secretary, Crosby 8. Noyes; treasurer, George W. Riggs. ‘The directors of the association, it was ilramul’lced today, will be made public ater. It is proposed to raise at least $100,- 000 by subscriptions, to be limited in amounts to $1 to $10 from each indi- vidual contributor. President Johnson today ordered that resignations of general, fleld and staff | officers be received until May 15, when | the adjutant general of the Army is | directed to commence mustering out | honorably from the Union Army all of- ficers not employed or whose services are no longer needed. A rumor of a conspiracy, reported to have been hatched in some part of the South by irresponsible persons, to burn Philadelphia was unearthed by the mili- tary authorities here today and tele- graphed to the Philadelphia authorities. Most of the newspaper correspondents today treated it as merely one of those “sensational stories” that have been flying around since the assassination of President Lincoln, Many persons, however, belleve that such a conspiracy really existed and that it has been frustrated by precau- tionary measures taken since its alleged “discovery.” 1t is reported today that a grand re- view of the Army of the Potomac and of Gen. Sherman’s army will take place in this city soon. No details are avail- able yet, but the greater parts of both of these commands are known to be now on their way to Washington. Such a review would be a sight such as has never been witnessed before on this ~ontinent. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1930. LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. Pop was smoking and thinking In his private chair and I sed, Hay Pop? Hay indeed, pop sed. Meening what, and I sed, if a person falls out of & high window do you bleeve their whole passed life flashes in frunt of them like a moving picture? Ive herd it sed that drowning peeple have some such experients, when their not too bizzy clutching at straws, pop sed. But I hardly think that peeple falling out of windows are entertained in the same way, I imagine you haff to go to the trubble of drowning, pop sed. ‘Thats what I think, too, I sed. I fell 2 stories today and none of my passed life dident flash in frunt of my eyes, I sed. You did what, yee gods, you did what? pop sed, and I sed, Weil it wasent exackly 2 stories but it was ihe same principal. I was standing on top of & box and the box was on top of a chair, so thats the same ideer as 2 stories, I sed. Perhaps it s, but dont frighten me like that, pOE sed. I have a strong hart and thats the way I wunt to keep it. Whats the big ideer of going around posing on top of boxes on top of chairs? h id. e said. I wasent posing, I was reetching for something, I sed. ‘Well reetch for something lower down after this, pop sed. Where the dooce did all this happen? he sed, and I sed, In the dining room closit. I was reetch- ing for the strawberry perserves, and I must of reetched them, too, because they fell the same time I fell, and the glass broke and they spred all over the closit floor, and thats what made ma so mad, and she sed she was going to tell you, I sed. Yee gods, I awt to give yo ua duzzen good slaps with my sliper and see if anything of historical importance slaps past your eyes, pop sed. Only he dident. I'm sure sorry for that Spaniard who was borer by the bull. He must know just how I hate to hear Bozo's line. DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Should a Wife Be Willing to Make Sacrifices to Help Educate Her Husband’s Brother? EAR MISS DIX—We have been married four months, and I have a very won- derful husband, but the only thing that spoils everything is the fact that we have to take care of his 16-year-old brother. Do you think a boy of that age should be entirely depen‘em. on us when we are only getting a start? This boy goes to high school, but Will not study, has no ambition and fails in everything, although he knows, we are sacrificing to help him. He is never willing to do any- thing around the house, but expects me to wait on him. I work outside of the home and then come home and cook and clean the house, am doing everything 1 can to help my husband, but it is very discouraging. My husband and I quarrel constantly over this boy. He says I am selfish. I think he is unjust. 'Al: wrong? . 8. Answer—A boy of 16 is certainly old enough to earn part of his living, if not all of it, and inasmuch as this lad will not study, the thing to do is to take him out of school and put him to work. As it is he is acquiring lazy, loafing habits that will stick to him through life if they are not curbed at once. Also he is hav- ing his morale broken down by being dependent upon others, and especially by being partially supported by a woman. Of course 1t is a great pity, and it will be a serious handicap to the boy not to finish high school, but, as the old proverb has it, you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. So you can give the boy opportunities for an education, but you cannot make him take them, and vhen one refuses to make his grades it is no kindness to him to keep him idling in the school room. Far better to take him out and put him in a job where he will have to work hard. Sometimes that wakes a boy up to a knowledge of how foolish he has been and how he is ha red at every step by his lack of education, and he voluntarily goes back to school and makes good. Very often a boy seems simply incapable of studying, and then the wise thing is to get him into some useful trade as soon as possible, while he is still young enough to acquire skill at it. One of our leading alienists believes that children who are under par mentally should be given only the most elementary education, just a little reading, writing and arithmetic, and then put to work at some useful occupation at as early an age as possible in order that they may become self-supporting. But whether a child is a moron who cannot learn, or an idler who will not study, there can be no doubt of the necessity of te: g him to stand on his own feet and depend upon himself. Not only his character, but his success in the world depends upon his being independent and self-sustaining, instead of & fi“""“ and so your husband does his brother an even greater injustice than p: rga‘# guwtgr:ot making him earn his quota of the hmfiry income and do his e ¢ If he thoroughly understood that being permitted to stay in school was a privilege he could only enjoy if he brought in good mlrkz he would study. If he had to earn the money to buy his own clothes he would take better care of them. Tf he had to help with the housework he would appreciate how kind you were in giving him a home.

PUTTING IT OFF l “I have a chillblain in my neck, T will not work today, by heck, I'll let it now,’ and does it then and there; he doesn't say, when feeling frayed, ‘To- day I'll sit down in the shade,’ and he’s a millionaire.” The voice of conscience drones along, persuading me that I am wrong in dodging honest work; but I today am feeling stale, and I will loaf my labors slide; tomorrow I'll be feeling fine, today I'll rest beneath my vine, forgetting toil,” I cried. A voice is at my inner ear: “You're fit to labor like & steer,” that gentle voice maintains; “you never were in better form to toil in sunshine and in storm, ignore your | trifling pains. You're just so lazy you detest whatever doesn't look like rest, | whatever hints of sweat; you're blamed indolent you hate to fix a fence te, and sloth’s your one best bet. rocrastination, you must know,” the voice goes on, remote and slow, “is but a piker's vice; the man who waits the morrow’s morn to patch his roof or shuck his corn, will never cut much ice. The big man with the classic brow rears up and says, ‘I'll do around the jail and by the old stone kirk. The morrow comes; I feel a wreck, I have two fierce pains in my neck where yesterday saw one; I'll have to rest a day or so, I don't feel fit to ply 4 hoe or bucksaw in the sun. And so it goes from week to wgek; the more I rest the more I seek a corner for re- pose; now every joint in me complains, my neck is full of peagreen pains, and aches, an¢ things like those. ‘You know it's laziness, my friend,” conscience chides me as I wend, “you have no force or pride; your neighbors prosper and grow rich while you are resting in a ditch and letting all things slide.” WALT MASON. (Copyright, 1930). SUB ROSA BY MIMI Wax Figures. ‘They say that in the old days of the Eden Musee in New York it was comi- cal to see people confuse the wax figures with real people. They would ask a question of the wax policeman or stand and gaze at some other visitor who was so motionless as to seem like ong of the | wax exhibits. All of us are something like that when we mingle with the other people | of the community. We think they are mere figures when they are just as much alive as we. Or we take them for grade A humdingers when they are not 80 hot after all. We don't know how to discriminate between the genuine article and the mere figurehead. Men have the ability to pick out good employes, although nowadays they are trusting less to direct judgment than to intelligence tests. If men were as clever in selecting their friends they might be better off. Perhaps the same might be said of them in their selection of wives. PERF FEATURES. It's usually some unimportant trait rather than all-around merit that leads | the man to make his selection from the garden of pretty faces. ‘Women usuaily know the difference between the wax figure and the flesh- and-blood person, only they don’t al- ways know what to do with the knowl- edge they possess. They can tell whether a person is worth while, but cannot as easily state why they think so, If they had the right to select their husbands they'd show womanly intuition and bar- gain counter wisdom. The kind of men they take now are often remnants and no bargains at that. There is supposed to be a sclence of physiognomy, whereby one can tell what a persen is like by the shape of the face, set of the mouth, position of the ears and the like. A large mouth may-not be so attractive to look at, but it's better to have a friend with a big gash than one with a mouth like a private en- trance. Large eyes are more reliable than small, beady ones. We take people as they come. We | can't take a plece of paper and pair of scissors and cut out a pattern of the kind of man we want and have him| made to order. No, we have to make | our selection from the ready-mades. | The main thing is to decide whether \ UMED MANICURE SETS LT Y THE WORLD'S AUTHORITY ON PERFUME NOW GIVES YOU AN EXQUISITE NEW MANICURE WITHOUT CHEMICAL ODORS COMPLETE ENSEMBLES IN REMOVABLE FITTED COTY BAKELITE TRAYS, $3, $4, 83 INDIVIDUAL REFILLS OBTAINABLE EVERYWHERE AT THE BETTER STORES a person is real or just wax.
