GIVE THEM THE FLOWERS NOW
Closed eyes can't see the white roses,
Cold hands can't hold them you know.
Breath that is stilled cannot gather
The odors that sweet from them blow
Death with peace beyond dreaming
It's children Of earth doth endows
Life is the time we can help them
So give them the flowers now.
just a kind word a greeting,
IL but warm grasp or a smile
These are the flowers that will Tighten
The burdens for many a mile.
Words cannot tell what q measure
OF blessings such gifts viii allow
To dwell In the lives Of so many
So give them the flowers now.

In Varied Song Program

Miss Genia Fonariova, whose pictu-
rescue brunei beauty for some time
has been conspicuous note in New
York concert halls and operatic gat' ,er-
ings, gave recital at Aeolian Hall
yesterday afternoon. Dressed in Grim
son velvet, she was delightful, to look
upon. She sang "When the D.ws LA-
ments Her Love-" from HandePs *Acis
and Galatea," in English, and songs by
Durante and Scarlatti in Italian, with
much care. but the greater part Of he,
program was wisely devoted to Russian
songs, which she gave in her native
tongue. In these she appeared per-
fectly at ease, singing with womanly
feeling and beauty Of tone.
The sudden illness of Beatrice Mar
tin, soprano. who was to have appeared
at the same hall last evening, caused
the postponement of her recital. A new
date will be announced shortly.

Washington-Lincoln Day
Observed by Rotarians
W: Lanier Washington and the

giZe Former Presidents

Washington and Lincoln Day" was
celebrated yesterday at the Hotel Nc
Alpin by the Rotary Club at its weekly
luncheon.
w, Lanier Washington, a descendant
Of the ."father of his country" related
q number of personal anecdotes of
Washington's life and the Rev. Otho
F. Bartholew. of Mount Vernon, N, Y,
spoke on the influence of Lincoln on
the American nation.
DR.. Bartholew, whose address was
almost. purely biographical, digressed
for few minutes to compare Lincoln
with President Wilson. Although he
did not mention the latters name.
there was no mistaking whom he
meant when he said the tendency OF
present-day statesmen is to have
echoes about them.
Continuing in this vein, he cited the
fact that Lincoln had appointed as
members of his Cabinet Democrats,
while the tendency nowadays is to be
purely partisan. Among those present
was Frank McGlynn, who plays the
name part in John Drinkwater's
Abraham Lincoln"

quested that the plans for Victory
Hall, which were listed as one of the
IDEAS IN public competition for the ncr.

Mr.. wingate explained at length the
purposes of the association and the
reasons why it selected Pershing
Square as the most desirable site for
the proposed building. He said the
association did not purpose to ask the
taxpayers for one cent, but purposed
to purchase the property and pay for
it. The association is raising the money

Barnard Raises Tuition
Will Aid Endowment Fund in
Increasing Salaries

The trustees of Barnard College an
nounced yesterday, after meeting at
the home of Mrs. Ogden Reid, 35 West
Fifty-third Street, that the tuition fee
would be raised from 5000 to $3.50, be-
ginning July /. The new rates, it is
estimated, will yield $4,000 a year.
The money is to be applied to in
creasing salaries of the teaching staff.
Neither recent gifts and bequests
nor the endowment fund now being
raised, 1t was said, would suffice for
the paying of proper salaries to pro-
fessors, and an advance in the tuition
fee was thought to be the only re-
course. 1t was announced that every
effort would be made to aid with
scholarship funds students now in
college to whom the higher rates
might mean hardship.

Bedtime Stories
by Thornton W. Burgess
Peter Is Glad That He Couldn't Do What He Had
Wanted to DO
You'll find, as on through life you go,
The thing you acant may prove to be
The very thing you shouldn't hare;
Then seeming loss is gain, You see.

Peter Rabbit never realized this so
completely as when he saw Reddy Fox
go straight to that big clump of dead
grass under which Peter had so longed
to Pc hidden, and under which he
would have hidden if Reddy had given
him the least little chance to get there
without being seen. But Reddy sadn't
given him such a chance and now
Peter was thankful that he hadn't
"My, my, myl certainly am a lucky
Rabbit" thought Peter "Old Mother
Nature or somebody is taking better
care of me than I could take of my
self Never in all my life have | been
more thankful for anything than am
that | couldn't do what ] wanted to do
1t certainly is no fault of mine that
am not on the way down Reddy's throat
this very minute"
He heard Reddy sniff and poke
