WEDDING VEIL

Wedding Veil or Nots

Wedding ell or NOT!
nEAR MRS. BEECKMANr
~ Is it proper for the bride
to wear a viel If the groom has
a black suit, the latter not being
formal, however? Or would it be
best to omit the veil? The wed
ding is to take place in the
rectory.
What kind of hat is the groom
to select? THANKFUL
TTyHIS is the most difficult ques-
ton that l have to answer.
For ] know that it means that
the bride wishes to be q real
bride"-which l want all brides to
be-and dress in the traditional
white satin ad veil, but it also
means that the groom will not
or cannot wear formal clothes
that are consistent with the for
NAL attire of the bride.
Really, if the bride wears the
regulation bridal dress and veil
and the groom wears the inform
al business suit. it does look in.
consistent-doesn't it? And no
third person can decide this.
Either the groom must adapt his
attire and wear formal clothes

for a day wedding, or evening
clothes for an evening wedding)
or the bride must change her
plans and wear the informal
clothes that are consistent with
the informal clothes of the groom.
If the groom wears a business
suit, he may wear either a soft
gray or dark hat, or a bowler.
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
II Which is proper? To open
your napkin or leave it half
folded?
Is it proper to eat any kind
of sandwich with your fingers?
f.. F.
YOU should not open your mt.
4 kin entirely. To open just
one fold is enough.
Yes and no. 1t really is better
form not to use your fingers in
eating sandwich. But If this
seems over-fastidious to you and
eater. then you probably eat a
dry" sandwich most neatly. But,
as general rule, it is better to
eat any kind of sandwich either
with a fork, or with a knife and
fork. Watch model eaters" and
see how they do it.
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Who pays for the limousines
for the parents of. the bride and
bridegroom?
2. Does the bride paw for the
bridesmaids attire?
3. What attire does the groom
wear at 5 o'clock church we'd
ding?
THE parents OF the bride pay
L for their car, and the parents
, of the Bridegroom pay for theirs.
2. No, not usually. Each brides
maid supplies her own dress and
the accessories.
3. Getaway coat and dark striped
trousers.

Character Reading
By Psychologists
Is Declared Bunk
Chicago Professor Says
Nothing Definite Can Be
Learned by analysis.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, April 11.-Prof. r. A.
Kingsbury, head of the psychology
department at the University of Chi
cago, slammed character analysts to-
day when he announced that the
elaborate character analysis tests, so
popular with psychology professors,
were "all bunk"
He told it in an address to a fra
ternity at the University Club.
1T is not worth while wasting time
and money on such short cuts" was
his decision You must Judge what a
man is likely to do in the future by
what he has done in the past. The
old law of habit is a pretty safe one
to follow.
There are a host of mistakes that
the character analyst makes" con-
tinued Prof. kingsbury.
He treats limited traits as if they
were general. Seeing a man neat in
his dress he deduces that the indi-
vidual is equally meticulous about his
desk or about his home. He doesn't
ask the subjects employer or his
wife. Disillusionment might follow
He forgets that a man may de-

ment he receives. For example, a

Philip Hale. dean of music critics of
this country, stated after hearing
Mojica sing this role in Boston that
he considered him the greatest Pei
leas." Mr.. Hale compared his inter
probation to that of Dalmores, the
French tenor, who was coached by
Debussey himself in the role for its
premiere when Miss Garden was like
wise coached by the composer for
the initial Interpretation of Melis-
ande.
Senior Mojica is particularly pleased
to sing the role of Count Almaviva
with the Washington company to-
morrow night, for it is not only a
favorite role with him, but also the
first he ever sang, singing it with
the Mexico City company when he
was only I9 years old.
Senior Mojica's repertoire includes
leading tenor roles of Faust" Ma
nonr Travfata," Butterfly" 'Bo-
heme," 'Sonambula,' THE Love of
Three Oranges "Salome" and pei
leas and Melisande." He is also do
ing concert work with groups of
Spanish and Mexican songs, sung in
costume at the end of his recitals.
Senor Mojica is much interested in
North American music, and is an en-
thusiastic prophet of the develop
ment of stable, national music from
jazz, which, he says, he likes ex-
tremely.

SMELL WILL STUDY
PARLIAMENT RULES
Going to London and Paris
to Seek Possible Innova-

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 11.-Repre-
sentative Bertram H. Smell of Pots
dam, N. Y, chairman of the House
of Representative rules committee,
and Senator William 3. Mckinley of
Illinois sailed for Europe today on
the Leviathan.
Representative Smell expects to
learn whether parliaments there
have anything TO teach America
about legislative procedure. He will
go to London and Paris. where he
will study the procedures of the
House of Commons and the Chamber
of Deputies.
Mr. Smell said he hoped to offer
several amendments to the rules Of
the Sixty-eighth Congress when the
new Congress meets. He defended
the House against recent charges of
inertia, asserting that the lower
branch of Congress does better and
more serious work than the Senate,
but without blowing of horns or
beating of cymbals."
Senator Mckinley in Europe will
attend the meeting of the Interna-
tional Parliamentary Union and will
discuss plans for the 1925 meeting
of that body. which is to be held in
the United States. He said he did
not foresee any startling changes in
the international situation as q re-
suit of the fall of the Herriot gov
ernment in France or the possible
election of Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg as President of Germany
Also sailing on the Leviathan
were Vincent Astor, going to Lon
don to visit his mother, Lady Rib
Lesdale, and then to Paris to join
his wife; and S. Yousry Pasha, for
mer Egyptian Minister to the United
States, who left to assume his new
post in Berlin.

from farmer boy to opera star"
when telling the story of his life in
the lobby of the Mayfiower Hotel
yesterday afternoon while groups OF
admiring women circled about, osten-
sibly to watch the water in the pretty
sea-shell fountain, but really to OBJ
serve this handsome young man,
Senior Mojica, who halls from Mex
leo, is good looking. AS the story
goes concerning the maid who was
''as good as she was fair" so he
seems to have miraculously escaped
the error of conceit and has the added
charm of sincerity and poise
1T was my grandmother's idea
when 1 was very young, that should
study to be an agricultural engineer
and have supervision ever all her
farms in Mexico" said Senior Mojica
in his soft, precise English. 80 1 was
sent to a school in Mexico City to
learn this profession. Then, in 1914
the revolution came and the school
was closed. There we were, a group
of young people of the best families
of Mexico, with our schools closed
and time heavy.
Formed Opera Company.
1--WE organized an opera company
among ourselves to give scenes from
the operas on Sunday afternoons to
amuse our families. Many of the
members of our company had been
taken abroad by their parents and
had musical training in Europe
simply for cultural purposes Yet
you would be astonished at the re-
marlSably fine soprano and contralto
voices of many of our young girls.
And, with this training abroad, they
had good foundation. Our little
company was so successful that we
were put on a professional basis and
became a national opera organiza-
tion, as Mr. Albion wants to start
here with his company. The Mexican
people are extremely critical, and
they know music. They would
tolerate none but the best from us.
Then the schools reopened and my
mother wanted me to return to my
agricultural studies. but. by that
time, 1 realized that l did not care
for that, 1 wanted only to go on
with the operate work. So my
mother said, We'll, Jose, if you
choose to sing, you must sing we'll.
And she gave me money to go to
New York to study
Studied With Lawyer.
Prior to Senior Mojica's coming to
New York, he had studied only with
one man. You will laugh when l
tell you" smiled the singer, this
teacher of mine is "a lawyer by pro-
fession. He studied singing in Paris
because he loved it so. 1t sounds
funny, does it not, to say l have
studied singing with a lawyer?'
Yet so well trained was Senior
Mojica that when he landed in New
York to study, Mexican friend who
was organizing an opera company to
take back to Mexico. including such
well-established musical artists as
Rosa Raisa and Mr.. Polacco, upon
hearing Mojica sing, engaged him
to return home in his company. After
successful appearances with this or
Eanizatio in Mexico for six months,
Tito Ruffo, famous baritone, engag aged
Mojica to sing with him, and later
he sang with Caruso. Then it was
that, through some of these artist
friends, Campanini heard of Jose

made in hydro -airplane in so hops,
covering a total distance of $4,000

The purpose of the fight is to be
a demonstration of economy in the
use of the hydro -airplane in long dis
tance commercial flying. Pinedo main
tains that his itinerary, although
longer than that necessary for land
planes, because of the need of fol-
lowing the water. will be more
economical, as no special staffs will
be required at the various landing
places. He will depend solely on
local facilities for fuel and repairs.

During the past Winter the begin
ming of a child guidance clinic has
been made at Columbia Junior High
School, under the direction of a
psychiatrist, DR. Josephine Wimsett
Lohr. This improvement in the med
ical and disciplinary work of the
schools came largely as the result of
the efforts Of the Washington branch,
which has for some years advocated
such a step.
Its more intimate effect upon the

z WOMEN'S GROUPS
HERE WILL MERGE
Association of University
Women and College Wom-
ems Club to Unite.

Amalgamation of the Washington
branch of the American Association
of University Women and the Col
lege Women's Club is to become ef-
fective June /, according to word
from Dr. Louise Tayler-Jones, who is
attending the Conference of Unlver-
sity Women in Indianapolis. This
formal sanction by the national body
of the American Association of Uni
versity Women completes a long-con-
templated move by almost 1000
Washington women.
The members of the Washington
branch of the American Association
of University Women and the Col
lege Women's Club have felt for sew
eral years that their work was some
what overlapping, according to Mrs.
Harris IT. Baldwin, president of the
college women. To remedy this and
thereby bring about more powerful
single organization, the Washington
branch of the University Women, of
which DIR. Tayler-Jones is president,
addressed an invitation to the Col
Iege Womens Club inviting that or
ganization to join the Washington
branch, to partake in the privileges
of the clubhouse at 1884 | street, and
to enter into the membership of the
| national OEBdulLdtloli.
Joint Committee Named.
Since such a step necessitated the
College Clubs giving up its own
identity and its clubhouse, and since
some deliberation and negotiation
with the national BODY was necessary
on the part of the University Women,
committees were appointed from both
organizations to formulate decision
and consider means OF carrying out
that decision If it proved favorable
to the college women.
The members of the committee rep
resenting the Washington branch OF
the university women was composed
of DR.. Tayler-Jones, Miss Helen At
water, Mrs. Paul Kaufman and Mrs.
Frank wilkins, who is chairman of
the National Club committee. The
College Women's Club was represent
ed by Mrs. Harris T Baldwin, it's
president; Mrs. Basil Manly, Mrs.
Thomas w. SidwelL Mrs. William
Heron. Miss Emma Grams, Miss Marie
K. Saunders Mrs. Thomas L. Robert
son and Mrs. Chester Morrill,.
The result of their deliberations is
evidenced in a letter written April 1
by Mrs. Baldwin to DR.. TaylerJones,
in which she said:
Acceptance Is rendered.
Thank you so much for the very
cordial letter inviting the College
Women's Club to join with the Wash
ington branch of the American Asso-
citation of University Women.
''At a large and enthusiastic meeting
of the College Women's Club. March
80. the motion was made and carried
to take this step. Therefore, In the
name of the College Women's Club, it
gives me a great deal of pleasure to
accept the invitation of the Wash
ington branch"
Upon receipt of this letter the
Washington branch unanim ously
voted approval and its acceptance of
the 321 members of the College Wom-
ems Club into their midst June !,
with the privilege to such mem bers
as delay coming in of extension of
the time limit to October Is.
With this large addition to it's
membership, the Washington branch
of the Univ ersity Women will take
on new responsibilities, according to
the statement OF it's president. 1t
will undertake the management of
