May 31, 1861.—Gen. Robert E. Lee has | arrived at Manassas Junction, Va., ac-| cording to the latest reports reaching military headquarters here. Many Con- federate troops are known to be concen- trated at that point, and Gen. Lee is believed either tp have taken command there or to be present in an advisory capacity. A later rumor is that Gen. Lee har| thrown two regiments of Confederate { Infantry forward to Fairfax Court House, at a point about 17 miles dis- tant from this city. ‘The steamer Monticello, Capt. Eagle, U. S. N., formerly called the Star, has arrived at this city, bringing with her the schooners Catherine of Newbern | N. C., and Iris of Baltimore, loaded with naval stores intended for the Confed- crate States. The schooners are prizes captured by the Harriet Lane 70 miles off the coast of Virginia a few days ago. gg‘he Monticello has been 43 days con- stantly under steam, and her ma- chinery is in need of some minor re- pairs. She has come to this city to have these repairs made at the local navy yard. The 5th Battalion, District of Colum- | bia Volunteers, consisting of the Metro- politan Rifles, Capt. Nalley; A and B Putnam Rifl Capts. Thistleton and Griswell; Constitutional Guard, Capt. Degges, and the Jackson Guard, Capt McDermott—all under command of Lieut. Col. Everett—met last night about 8 o'clock at the Patent Office for special duty. The battalion then marched off toward Georgetown, They were equipped for a long tramp, and it is rumored that today they are stationed in the vicinity of Chain Bridge, forming perhaps the advance guard of a larger Union force that is guarding the approach to the city at that point or is preparing to move against the Confederate force at Ma- nassas. ‘The District of Columbia Volunteers were in high spirits and full of military enthusiasm when they marched away. ‘The men declared that they would make a good record for the District militia if they were given a chance of a “brush with the enemy.” ‘The exact number of Confederate sol- diers and the intention of their com- mander in the vicinity of Manassas are not known here. Some rumors are afloat that they are preparing to move against Washington, but most military authorities here think they will hold which any one can copy, is also used to give colorful decoration to scarfs, OUR CHILDREN their ground in Virginia and await at- tack by the Union troops.

Scallops accent the new flared full- ness of the skirt that flutters so prettily each time the wearer moves. The back is smartly straight. ‘The molded bodice that affects prin- cess styling indicates waistline by its pinched-in effect at either side seam. It is sketched in tub silk in light blue coloring. The tie is grosgrain ribbon. Style No. 681 is designed for girls of 8, 10, 12 and 14 years. It adapts itself lovely to the sheer cotton fabrics as sprigged dimity, pas- tel handkerchief lawn, dotted swiss, printed batiste and printed voile. For a pattern of this style, send 15 cents in stamps or coin directly to The ‘Washington Star’s New York Fashion Bureau, Fifth avenue and Twenty-ninth street, New York. We suggest that when you send for this pattern, you inclose 10 cents addi- ‘omal for a copy of our new Spring «ashion Megazine, to find them.

They offer a refuge to the flowers, those exquisitely lovely lit- tle flowers that send up on incense of praise to the gracious sun and sky. They offer a peaceful retreat to the careworn mind and body. They are beautiful in themselves and for that reason, if no other, are to be regarded with affection and reverence. Whenever a tree is cut another—two more, if possible—should be planted. In no other way can we hope to overcome the.terrible waste and destruction that has been carried out in the forests of our country. The children ought to be taught about the value and the mean- ing of trees—taught to plant them and care for them. Arbor day means tree day. I hope that before many years have passed every State in the Union will set apart a day for tree planting by school chil- dren. Not the same day for every State or for every school, but a day for every | group of school children in the land, so | that trees may be planted, so that the children become aware of the great| need for this work. Plant a tree this Spring somewhere. We need nut trees, fruit trees, shade trees, timber. Even the city folk can lend a hand and plant a Siberian elm for shade.

Even where white uniforms are worn in the morning they are seldom con- sidered appropriate for afternoon or formal wear. All black or gray uniforms | are correct even in warm weather for! this formal wear. They are made of | thin black cotton sateen, or in silk: sateen, mohair or even black satin. In place of the gray or black uniform, however, you may choose something that | carries out the color scheme of your re- ception rooms. Thus one woman has her maids’ uniforms of a dull mulberry color and another has selected a dull dark green. This is rather unusual, however. ‘The question of whether or not a maid shall wear & uniform is one that often vexes the employer more than it need. Quite frequently even a single maid in the household would be quite willing to wear & uniform if she were asked. But the housewife avolds asking for fear she would object. Unless the mald receives high wages and special arrangements are made, the mistress Fc.y! for all uniforms, caps, aprons, etc. In this way a maid wear- ing & uniform finds the custom rather economical, and often, too, she finds uniform quite becoming. jent sufficient, THE EVENING LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

Will you tell us a few of the things that you would want a daughter of yours to do in your stead? MARGARET. Answer. I think, Margare!, that among all the saints and angels and martyrs there are none more deserving of our reverence than those girls who try to take their mothers’ places in their homes, and I lay at their feet my tribute of admira~ tion for all that is the most unselfish and altruistic in the human heart. ‘Their job is a hard one and generally a thankless one. Even their fathers do not appreciate how heavy is the load that has been laid on shoulders that are too young and too weak to bear it, for the girl is called upon to do the work and meet the mmnstbnlue.s that had come slowly to her mother and for which she had been trained by years of experience, Father does not realize how hard it is for a young girl to give up her free time and her playiime for the heavy drudgery of taking care of a family. Father does not realize what a disappointment it is to her to have to give up her hopes of going to college in order to go into the kitchen. He never knows how hard it is for her to sacrifice her ambitions for a career to stay at home and do the dull, dreary round of household drudgery, when she had dreamed of doing some interesting work in the outside world that would have made her at least financially independent and enabled her to have the preity things a girl's heart craves. But which she can never have while she slaves for the family, because father never thinks a girl's work at home is worth wages. And father never realizes that only too often the girl who takes her mother's place has to give up all thought of love and marriage herself because she cannot desert father and the children. And the children nearly always resent the older sister's authority and take .g: th: sacrifices she makes for them for granted, and without so much as a “thank you.” ‘Two pieces of advice only have I to give to the girls who take their mothers’ places. The first is not to sacrifice themselves too completely for their families. ‘They have as much right to their own lives as their father and their brothers nd their sisters have to theirs. Let the other children share some of the responsibility and do some of the work. And if love comes your way, take it. Thousands of elder sisters have thrown away their chances in life for their younger sisters and brothers and then had them refuse them even shelter when they were old and poor and helpless. And, secondly, don't oppose you: father's second marriage if he picks out & suitable woman, A stepmother is often an angel in disguise, DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1930.) Cozy and Inviting Spot in Garden BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. T R o~ = A GARDEN, AN ‘WHERE SHADE UMBRELLA-TABLE FILLS TWO NEEDS, The old idea of cozy corners in a home has given place to cozy garden spots. If an estate is large it has to be divided and subdivided into various garden plots. The landscape gardener does this dividing with such skill that one plot opens into another, supplying charming vistas, yet permitting each division to have an entity of its own. For example, one terraced estate that slopes from the residence down to an arm of Cape Cod Bay starts with a rose 1S LACKING IN the entire space for one garden, but this can be made as beautiful in its way as any of the terraces described. It is wise to have it planted with constantly blouming plants. These must be suited to the exposure of the grounds. But the planting time has past and gone. It now remains to add such ornamental notes as will supply an intimate at- tractiveness. Garden furniture lends such en- chantment. now that MAY 31, 1930, Although the great blue heron is to be found in the District of Columbia at all times, except midwinter, he always seems to me particularly a bird of Spring, just as the red-winged black- bird makes us think of the first Spring days around the reedy marshes of the ponds and rivers. Now, when the cat- tails begin to fatten and the wild blue flag unfurls in the swamps and the frogs raise loud chorus, the great blue heron may be seen at the twilight hour silhouetted against the red and gold of the afterglow, the largest native bird, as far as I can remember, taking his ponderous yet beautiful flight across the marsh and the sky. Strange, the power of some animals to evoke motions. We all know that a cat can make any house look cozy; it can also make a dark hallway look ghostly when it arches its back and spits suddenly. A rTot makes any garden seem tropl a firefly makes any lawn romantic. And the heron, winging up in strong, slow circles, with outstretched neck and trailing legs, and letting fall his cry, like the sound of a chain falling on its own coils, will make any landscape wistful. Marshes are naturally pensive and sad in a gentle way. A heron can turn a suburban rain pond into the great Dismal Swamp. All hunters seem to consider herons fair game. Unfortunately for the poor bird, he is an easy mark for the rifle. In the first place, he often delays rising from the reed bed until the last moment. Or it might be more accurate to say that he does not hear you if you ap- proach him up wind. Further, he gives a cry of alarm as he rises, betraying his position, and his flight is slow and is easily predicted as to direction. ‘There is nothing in the heron's favor, once a marksman sees him, except that only in the case of squabs is the flesh worth eating. Even so, the hunter gen- erally wastes a cartridge on the lovely creature, just for the fun of seeing it tumb}lle_ a crumpled mass, back into the marsh. SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY ¥. CORY. What baby crin’ about is, her wants to be able to turn her head far 'mough to see her own face! (Copyright, 1930.) NANCY PAGE Englishman Loves His Garden Plot. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Members of the Page family were of English ancestry. ~That meant they loved the soil and always managed to have a garden. The new home and grounds had been landscaped and plenty of room left for a garden. Peter wanted his young son to have the same love for the soil that he had himself. Long before Nancy thought wee Peter could understand anything about dirt and plants his father had shown him growing things, tiny roots and budding plants. He took to it like a duck to ‘water, 50 Nancy knew that her son was a true Page. Joan enjoyed picking flowers but garden grubbing was rather foreign to her desires. Peter talked to the children about a garden. “Each one of you shall have a gar- den. I'll have mine, Joan will have hers. Mother will have one and baby Peter shall have one, too. “We shall not meddle with each other's gardens. Peter must learn to d{g.m his own and not step into Joan's plot.” The next day Peter came home with garden close to the house. The next terrace is an old-fashioned garden with a central fountain. A sun dial and a bird bath are at some distance on either side. This garden is abloom all the time, being so planted that there al- Ways is a profusion of flowers. The third terrace is the kitchen gar- den, while a fourth, sheltered by rocks, has grape arbors and well pruned vines. The effect is satisfying, for the beautiful spots are close to the house, lly descending in attractiveness and altitude to the least attractive on the lowest level, beyond which the grounds slope gradualiy to the beach. ‘Where grounds are small, it may take Fortunately, wrought iron furniture is in vogue, the furniture can be permanent. It does not have to be taken in whenever a storm threatens. The rain will only wash the metal and freshen it up. A table with four chairs conveniently pllmd—noz at it, but nearby—is in- viting. s Another cozy effect can be gained with cement furniture. One curved bench with a back, a round table before it, but not too close, and one bench without & back opposite is an attractive arrangement. Gay cushiops should be on the cusved bench. These are to sit on as well as to tuck-pehind one's back. They are the only gs that have to & tiny trowel, spade and rake for the baby. Joan had a garden set and a small kneeling pad. Peter had all the necessary tools but none of the frills. No sir, he was a real he-man gardener, Nancy was something like Joan. She liked to pick flowers but hated to grub in the dirt. But when she rubbed soap under her fingernails and wore sensible shoes and lisle stockings she found that gardening was not so bad. Many women hate to work in the garden because kneeling and bending make runs in sr.ockln&s, soft dirt ruins good shoes flnld spike heels are a difficulty in them- selves. Nancy wore a large hat with a brim which protected her face as well as the back of her neck. A kneeling pad helped her, too. And she felt quite proud as she used the plant markers of wood with the nameplate protected by a slide of celluloid. (Copyright, 1930.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN Little Convalescent. One mother says: One of the problems I have had in raising my three children is getting them to eat when they are convalescing. I know that a large part of the success in feeding at this time is due to serv- ing. Scrambled egg gains glamour when it is served in a boat made by lining & banana skin with oiled paper and using toothpicks for oars, or in a nest fashioned from strips of toast. I serve cereal in a paraffin-coated cup which stands in a small flower pot and holds a flower. And I fasten prunes ether with toothpicks to resemble goblins.

Folding furniture is recommended, such as & table with a waterproof textile cover, & steamer or beach lounging chair cove ered with colorful canvas from head Test to foot rest and two or three old- fashioned folding armchairs of camp stool type, with strips of canvas or Car- pet farml.nf backs. Kitchen furniture can be painted and distributed in any one of the ways sug- gested and also bring the cozy element to a garden. In each instance the furniture should be put in 8 spot, either where some building casts a shadow most of the day or, better still, where some tree is a shelter from the sun and where the light is soft- ened.

His yellow waistcoat, trimmed with black, is very handsome. And how he does love to sing, especially in_the Spring. There is no song more Springlike than that of Carol the Meadow Lark. Now, loving the Green Meadows as Carol and Mrs. Meadow Lark do, it is natural that they should build their nest there, and this is just what they do. They bulld it on the ground. “It is the safest place,” declared Carol to Peter Rabbit one time. “Yes, sir; it is the safest place—if only you take care to hide it properly. Nests that are in trees and bushes can be found more easily, because those who are seeking them know just where to look. But Just look across the Green Meadows, MILADY B BY THORNTON W.

He knew Danny well enough to know that Danny wouldn't be above stealing some of those eggs if he had a chance. So Carol waq too clever to ever go directly to the nest, or ever to fly directly from it. A4 a matter of fact, the place where Danny saw him drop down into the grass sq often was in quite the opposite direce tion from where the nest was. Caro) ‘was simply misleading Danny and havs ing a lot of fun doing it. ““That little scamp thinks he's smart," thought Carol. “Yes, sir, he thinks he's smart. He has been doing & lot of work for nothing. Perhaps it wasn't altos gether for nothing, for I suppose he atq a Iot of the grass as he cut it. But he won't get any eggs, and he won't find out where my nest is.” Meanwhile Mrs. Meadow Lark was comfortably sitting on five beautiful white eggs spotted with brown. She wasg very proud of those eggs. As she sal there and listened to Carol singing ta her she was very happy. So far no one had found that nest. Not once had she had to spring from it in fright. She knew nothing about Danny Meadow Mouse. Carol hadn't told her aboul him. He didn't want her to worry. Of course, he didn't think there was any cause to worry, but it might make Mrs, Meadow Lark anxious to know thaf some one was actually looking for het nest. So Carol continued to fool Danny Meadow Mouse, and Danny continued tq be fooled. At last, however, Danny began to sus« pect that there was something wrong, He was beginning to grow weary of looking for something he couldn't find, He hadn’t told Nanny Meadow Moust about it. He had wanted to find that nest all himself. Then came a morning when on his way back Reddy Fox als most caught Danny. It was just pure good luck that enabled Danny to ese cape. Then and there he decided that he was no longer interested in the ne: of Carol the Meadow Lark. Eggs woul be nice, but they were not necessary, (Copyright, 1930.) EAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS, To Reduce Fat Ankles. Dear Miss Leeds—I read your beauty articles and enjoy them very much. I would appreciate it if you would give me an exercise to reduce fat ankles. They are fat just in the right side of the right foot and on the left side of the left foot. Could it possibly be due to physical defect, as they swell at flnAe!? Answer—The swelling of the ankles is undoubtedly due to some physical disorder, so if that condition continues I sincerely hope that you will see a physician. Deposits of fat, which make the an- some kles bulky, may be removed by faithful exercise and massage. It is slow process, however, so do not -be dis- couraged if it takes weeks or even months before fou notice any decided results. The following exercises are especially wnr" reducing fleshy an- kles: (1) the exercise period by giving the limbs a good shaking. Then stand erect with feet together. Rise on toes.
