Meditations of
a Wife
Flappers-Today, Yester-
day and Forever!
By Helen Rowland

Girls will be girls-and nature will
be nature.
Grandmother flirted Mother spoon
ed; Daughter pets-but they all got
kissed, sooner or later.
Grandmother rubbed red calico on
her cheeks Mother tinted" hers with
red tissue paper dipped in cologne
Daughter colors hers with scented
rouGc-but they all got painted, II
with a different brush.
Grandmother laced; Mother padded;
Daughter bants-but they all did it in
order to charm the masculine eye.
Grandmother wore a hoopskirt;
Mother wore a hustle; Daughter car
ries a hpstick-but they were all
equally deceitful.
Grandmother cajoled her husband;
Mother endured hers; Daughter d.
vorces hers-but they all got tired,
now and then.
Grandmother used a broom; Mother
used carpet sweeper; Daughter uses
vacuum cleaner-but cleaning days
is the same old joy and the same old
horror today, yesterday and forever.
Grandmother was proposed to on a
moonlight buggy ride; Mother was
courted on "a bicycle built for two"
Daughter in a taxicab-but they all
got the same old thrill and had the
same old beautiful dreams.
Grandmother loved only one man;
Mother, one at a time; Daughter.
one after another-but they all got the
same old applesauce, the same old sur
prises and the same disappointments
and heart-pangs.
Grandmother blushed; Mother
flushed; Daughter laughs it off,
but they all LISTEN when a man
starts talking sentimental nonsense.
Grandmother knew how to make
a pie; Mother knew how to make
n dollar go a long way; Daughter
knows how to make a iving-but it
all amounts to the same thing when
it comes to making good helpmate.
Grandmother dropped her eyes and
chung to his coat-lapel; Mother hung
on to his arm and trcmbled; Daughter
grapples him around the neck-but
they all did their best to keep him
from getting away.
Grandmother coddled him; Mother
bOssed him; Daughter joshes and
jollies him-but they all knew that a
man HAS to be managed, babied and
mothered.
Grandmother called him my asuit-
or" Mother called him my fiance;"
Daughter calls him my boy friend"
but they all managed to lead him
to the altar in the end.
Other times, other manners-but
all roads lead to Matrimony when a
woman drives

Flowers For the Bride.
AR MRS. BEECKNIAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Will you kindly let me know who
should pay for the flowers at a wei
ding, the best man or the bridegroom?
There will also be ushers ut the we'd
ding. Do they buy the flowers for
the bridesmaids or does the groom
buy them all?
MRS. r. Il.
The bridegroom buys the bridal
bouquet for his bride. The family of
the bride usually sends the bouquets
to the attendants of the bride. Or, if
the couple prefer, the bridegroom
may send these flowers to the at
tcndants Of the bride. Yhe reason
why the bride usually sends them is
that she and her family have certain
plans for the costumes of the attend
ants, aud the flowers must harmon.
ize with these costumes and with the
decorations that they Plan for the
church. In any event che best man

Official

COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 21-
Reciprocity i'll tuition fees should be
considered by State universities, since
by raising the charges for students
from other States they merely COM
pei their own students who go out
side to pay higher fees, Alvin Wag-
goner. regent of education of South
Dakota and president of the Asso-
citation of Governing Boards Of Uni
versities, told the association.
The association, composed of trus-
tees Of 81 State universities, is in
session at Ohio State University.
The proposal to establish a ma
tional department of education and
appropriate S100,000,000 for Federal
aid to States in educational work
probably will not be passed by Con-
gress, Mr.. Waggoner said, although
a reorganization of the national pro-
gram is likely to be made.

GLOWING TRIBUTE PAID

Mrs. S. r. Fuller's Funeral Rites
Made Eloquent by Russian Exiles
She Had Aided.

DIR. s. Richard Fuller. 1907 Twenty
second street, has received a clipping
printed in the Paris edition of the
New York Herald and written by an
admirer of his late wife, Mrs. Lucy
Derby Fuller, who died at Nantucket
on September last. Mrs. Fuller was
we'll known in Washington. The
article follows:
ITO those who find our postwar
world wholly materialistic. wholly cyni-
cal, wholly appointing: who argue
that to do or even to attempt to do for
others IS but to earn their ingrattude
what a revelation 1t would have
been to attend the memorial mass for
the late Mrs. S. Richard Fuller, at
the Russian Church in the Rue Daru,
on Sunday.
Mrs. Fuller. during a three-year
residence in Paris had given of her
means, her time, her heart, to the
suffering of the Russian eXiles strug-
CLING SO desperately to establish them
selves in foreign lands. On her return

she continued her efforts to aid the
refugees, even up to the last hours of
her life. Particularly had she inter
ested herself on behalf of the old
officers of the Army and Navy, men
wounded and broken, prematurely
aged by their sufferings.
During five years, in several lands,
it has been my privilege to hear the
Russians sing in exile. Thus their
marvelously beautiful sacred chorals
were not unknown to me. Yet nothing
that l had ever heard touched in
Sublimity the solemn mass of Sunday
Like the tones of great organ the
voices rose and fell, and. at times,
1oated on and up. and up. one felt
sure, to the very throne of God.
LAS the glorious voices, in the
solemn requiem mass. prayed for the
succor, for the keeping of the soul of
the dead, aged men. tears streaming
from their eyes, prostrated themselves
before the altar and prayed for their
departed friend.

Failures in Life Are
 Cause Marriage Failures

LONDON, Feb. 13-" Marriage is not a failure. Some folks call themselves failures and failure is their lot, but sane and ordinary people must not allow the odd ones to make the rule, " says former Premier Ramsey MacDon- aid, writing in the Optimist, paper edited by his daughter, Isabel in the interests of a hospital charity.
 We should conspire to protect them against that deceitful and devas- tating old ruffian False Romance, who hangs a Dunmow Flitch in front of their noses, as carrots are hung in front of donkeys, to lead them astray. Marriage without common sense and good humor is risky ven- ture, but there is plenty of both in the world so we need not despair

SfNGLE-HANDED TENNIS HELPS
 PLAYERS IMPROVE GAME

BERKELEY, Feb. 13.-The latest sport to be introduced at the Univer- sity of California is solitary tennis"
 The court for this game consists Of green board wall with a horizontal line painted three feet above the ground to represent the top of the net. The player stands behind an other line drawn on the ground 2S feet from the board. From here the ball is served against the wall above the white line. When it bOunces back, the racket wielder returns the ball, trying to hit the wall above the white line. If the ball hits below it is counted a net ball and served again.
 The game is popular with co-eds, who have found it increases the swiftness of their strokes and devel ops accuracy in placing the ball and agility in following it around the court. Some of them use the stunt as practice for tournaments.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Dear Editor: Since your column is open for discussion would you please set me right on an argument I have with a friend. The question is: "Is the expression "a pair of twins correct when a person means one set of twins. ."-L. o.
 Some discussion has been going on concerning the meaning of the expression "a pair of twins" One authority claims the expression is all right, while others say "a pair of is superfluous; that the one word twins means exactly the same as "a pair of twins means four per sons, or two sets of twins. Now would one of Mrs. Smiths twins and one of Mrs. Browns twins make a pair of twins. One Smith twin and one Brown twin would make two twins. Two make a pair, so it seems that these two would make a pair of twins. Next.

 Thorton made shore at Cape Om- nancy when the boat became be- calmed within 600 yards of shore, and was not seen again. He said he was going to get some water, and took the small boat with him.

The eight ton seining boat Hilda of the Hetta Packing Company, located on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island. which drifted at sea for thirty one days, made Pillar Bay Thursday, January 15, where she became strand ed and the crew picked up.
 Of the three men on board when she left Ketchikan on the night of December H. two remain alive though in a weakened condition.
 Those abord the boat were Albert Johnson, Charles Richardson( better known as Port Wine Charley) and Ed ward Thornton (who is known as Copper Mountain Shorty) The latter is reported to have been lost.
 According to reports received here Saturday, those on board were bound for Copper Harbor, Hetta Island. from Ketchikan. They left late on the night of December 14, and it is said that none of the men aboard knew

 There was load of supplies on the boat and large water tanks had been fitted up. There was also quantity of sailcloth on board.
 Two of the men were old whalers, so it is evident that sails were used as means to get back to land. Altho nothing definite is known as the pres ent time, the coast guard boats had given them up for lost

Birds and roses are blended with
colorful effects in the Chevy Chase
garden of Misses Mary L., Helen and
Fannie Childs, 5901 Connecticut ave
nue.. Lovers of flowers, the Childs
sisters are still more lovers of birds
and spare no efforts to attract to their
home all the feathered songsters who
inhabit the District in Summer. Bird
houses and bird baths are scattered
about the garden; the visitors are fed
and studied from day to day. The re
suit has been a color combination
which would be impossible to dupli-
cate without years of effort.
The owners take great pride in their
gardenia rose, climber which now
completely covers one side of the rear
of the house. This Spring, when it

bush, their brown bodies making Il
curious combination with the white
blossoms.

unable to preserve, but they have re-
placed them with flower beds, which
more than make up for the loss in
color. Their collection of hollyhocks
has few rivals in the District, rang

BILE blossoms in some delicate shades
of yellow and wine color.
Among their most treasured flowers
is q red climbing rose, which remains
in blossom from the 1st of June until
Christmas and the species of which
they have been unable to determine.
Birds flying to the garden from great
distances have brought with them
seeds which are responsible for some
rare specimens. Among these is a
peculiar variety of raspberry, which
has spread rapidly. Although in the
form and color of a raspberry, it does
not have the distinctive taste of that
fruit. but a pleasantly acid flavor of
its own. a peculiarity noted by the
sisters is that birds not only brought
the seed to the yard, but that the
fruit is a great delicacy with the
feathered visitors. They hover about,

species have been counted, which the
sisters consider a remarkable record,
even for Chevy Chase, which Is con-
sidered one of the most popular bird
towns in the country, probably due
to the protection afforded and the eff
forts of the inhabitants to provide
facilities in their gardens.
The Misses Childs take their great
est pride. however, in an exceptional
sassafras tree. This grows commonly
found in scrub form. The tree in their
garden is estimated to be about 200
years old, is about 60 feet high and as
large as a medium sized oak. When
the garage was built the plans first
drawn made 1t necessary to cut off one
limb of this tree. Rather than permit
this, the plans were changed so that
the roof now comes barely under the
branch.
