A big choral concert will be the spe-
cial feature of Saturday evening
There VIII be $50 singers, it is es-
tmated. under the direction of Percy
S. Foster. with an orchestra of rs or
so players.
The best Patriotic Anthems. with
operate and oratorio selections, will
be sung. The chorus, under Mr.. Fos-
ter, has always been a great event in
Washington. 1t was he who intro
duced vocal music at the first McKin-
ley Inauguration, when Victor Her
berts Band of New York played for
the singers. Since that time the L. S.
Marine Band. under the direction OF
william II. Santelmann has been the
accompaniment for the Inaugural
Chorus.
The concerts. given as a part of the
Inauguration celebrations, serve n
double purpose. They provide a dig
nifed and delightful event for thou
sands of visitors to Washington. and
they send back to far distant States "A

great American nation where the re-
fining and inspiriting influence of good
music may make for better citizens.

Dorothy Dix Talks
BY DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
Don't Watt.

Don't Wait.
I have a letter from a girl who
writes:
II am engaged a man who makes
a comfortable living, but he is very
proud, and he does not want to marry
until he can give me a fine house, and
a car. and expensive clothes. l do not
want to wait. 1 love him well enough
to work for him and endure poverty
with him. 1 can't ask him to marry
me right way, when he wants to put
the wedding off. Won't you please
do it for me ?"
Certainly, my dear.
Haste to the wedding. Mr.. Man. The
time to sit down to the banquet is
when the feast is piping hot, not after
everything has grown lukewarm and
fIabby and has lost its flavor. You do
not realize it now, but nothing grows
stale sooner thai romantic love.
Somehow a long engagement loses its
pep and ginger, and when it does even
tually end in wedding bells, they are
not the airy, fairy bells of dreamland;
but the prosaic dinner bell.
You may ask how a love that gets
it's bloom worn off during a few years
of a betrothal, will endure the long,
long years of matrimony. The two
things are entirely different. The
glory of an engagement is it's illusions.
but the blessedness of marriage is that
it hasn't any illusions, that it knows
you for what you are, and, in spite of
it, loves you still.
OF course, no man has any right to
marry woman, no matter whether
he is young or old, if he hasn't some
good, reliable way of providing her
with bread and butter and a shelter.
1t is a criminal thing for a man to es-
|tabIish a family and bring children
into the world whom other people
have to support. but it is not neces-
sary for him to wait until he can pro-
vide his household with cake and
limousines before he takes unto him
self wife.
Many men make this mistake. They
put off marrying until they accumu-
late fortunes. Sometimes this is a
matter of personal selfishness. Their
own individual ease and comfort look
better to them than any woman does.
They are not willing to give up their
good clothes, their Country club,
their theaters, their amusements, as
they would have to do if the money
that enables one to live in luxury had
ito be spread over the expenses of a
Family.
marrying until he is middle aged be-
cause he loves a woman too well to
ask her to face poverty with him.
He is not willing to take her from her
fathers comfortable home to a
humble one. He cannot bear to think
of her going shabby for his sake,
or of her soft, white hands growing
hard and calloused working for him.
So he lets the love time of life go
by, for romantic love belongs as ex-
clusively to youth as apple blooms do

FACING THE INEVITABLE.

Probably there is only one expecta-
ton regarding the forthcoming acton
of the railroad labor board. Wages
will be reduced.
Wages are coming down, not be-
cause. as certain agitators claim there
is a conspiracy of employers to reduce
them. Few employers would object
10 continued payment of high wages II
market conditions and the efficiency
Of labor would permit it. They can
not. however, keep up the extreme
rates of the past few years, for bust
ness and profits have seriously de-
stined. They must either lessen the
nay of their helpers, curtail operations
or shut down altogether.
Readiustments of wages would be
much easier if wage earners could be
made to realize they themselves are
the victims of high cost of produc-
ton and transportation to the same
extent as are all other consumers.
This is readily understood by the
,loughtful working man, and he con-
cedes the necessity and the principle
involved. And that employer is wise
who is careful not to proceed farther
in this direction than he is obliged to
do. and who will place reductions on
reasonable basis. Doing that, he will
serve himself as we'll as the men he
hires. There will be a better feeling
all around, and more efficient cooper
alton If no attempt be made to take
undue advantage of a greatly changed
situation.
Fortunately, this idea of the en-
xIoyers attitude is very generally be-
ing acted upon. Moderation prevails
in the majority of instances. Arbi-
trary and summary cuts in remunera-
ton are not practiced, and the appeal
is being made to the reason and COM
nonsense of those employed. This
sort of appeal is being met in many
instances with a sensible and satisfac-
tory response. Fair play on the one
hand gives rise to fairness of DISPOSE
ton on the other. Every such exam.
pie increases the momentum of the
circumstances which are bringing the
country back to normally.

The postoffice department got into
such state during the eight years of
Burlesonism that Postmaster General
Hays has found that it requires some
thing more than revised office meth
DDS to get out of the rut. Last year.
thirty-three robberies brought a loss
Of $6,204,000 to mail in transit, of
which only $s.03o.000 was recovered.
There were 10000 complaints of loss
of mail in Chicago alone in the past
year. Mr.. Hays's way OF meeting the
emergency is to obtain 5000 revolt
vers, several hundred riot guns, and
100000 rounds of ammunition from
the war department for the arming OF
all essential employees. So far no pro-
vision for drilling the postal employees
in craftsmanship appears to have
been made.

Unless Germany give favorable
answer to the uItimatum issued by the
allies it seems probable that at the
end of this week the allied armies will
resume their march to Berlin, inter
rupted in Novemb,r 1918. In the
meantime serious trouble has devel-
oDed in Poland. If the plebiscite, held
a the direction of the allies, had gone
Poland's way probably all would have
been peaceful today in Silesia. But
The inhabitants of that region did not
vote as they were expected to do, SO
the Poles refuse to abide by the re-
suits. Late reports indicate that the
Germans are taking hand in the dis
tllrbance and have fired on French
troops. This tends to aggravate an
already bad situation. Germany al
ready has lost much territory. She
naturally objects to losing any that
has been conceded to her by the allies.
The European nations which were vic
torious in the Great War and are at
tempting to regulate the affairs of the
continent are making a sad mess OF IT,
Probably the outcome will be that
they will fall out among themselves.
