Grace of Thoughtfulness.

Text: Look not every man on his
own things but every man also on the
things OF others. Phil. liz.
II Is for the grace OF thoughttulness
that Paul pleads here, grace that
we all ought TO coyet and cultivate.
Paul would have us look TO the things
Of others, as well as our own things,
We are not TO seek Our own pleasure

We please. without regard 10 whether
others will be pleased or displeased
In everything we are to be- considcrate
tncil opinions their comfort. their con-
venjence. their pleasure.
Many live as II they had the world To
themselves They never restrain them
selves out Of consideration for any
body They consider no ones COM
forts. convenience or pleasure but their
own. So AFFORDED they are with their
own things. they become utterly
thoughtless as 10 things Of others.
II We have the grace 0! thoughtful
ness. all this Is reversed. For the sake
Of others We viii hold our Own desires
and wishes under restraint We viii
put the right Of others. their pleasure
and comfort. before our own We will
modify our conduct 50 as 10 avoid

February II. 1s6l.-The committee
Of the Hous. of Representatives ap-
pointed TO investigate and determine
whether there exists in the National
Capital an organization Of Southern
svmnathizers hostile to the Government
of the United States reported today
that II had been unable to find that
any such organization exists. Ever since
the secession Of South Carolina from
the Union. in December this city has
pathizerS. but apparently they have not
gone 50 far as 10 organize against the
Federal Government.
President Buchanan's policy since thT
action of South Carolina has changed
and his program OF inaction has given
place 10 one Of protection Of the Ma
tional Capital and the Government
property wherever possible.
The Southern svulpathigers in the
Presidents cabinet have had 10 get out
and Union men have taken their places
Special steps have been taken TO pre-
vent the capture Of the City Of Wash
ington by any sudden inroad of South
erners In case general civil war should
break out between the Northern and
the Southern slave holding States. Gen
Winfield Scott. who is in command Of
the Army. has been directed by Presi-
dent Buchanan 70 take all necessary
steps for the protection OF the Capita
City
II has bscn common r,lmor that the
whole Government is tainted with dis
loyalty. and these r,in,orS led to the BE-
lief that an organization had been
formed to over;urn the Government,
when Abraham Lincoln is inaugurated
next month. The House became alarmed
over the rumorS and directed It's com
mittee 10 make an Investigation, Much
testimony was taken by the COMMITTEES
with the result as stated. OF course.
there are many Southern sympa'hizer:

Attractive Figured Material
BY MARY MARSHALL.

when warmer weather Is reality
Varied. indeed, are these new prints
so that there are some appropriate
for evening wear, others for afternoon
and still others for sports wear:
some that are best suited to the
and side drapery. others that lend
themselves to the straight two-picce
type Of frock. =,
There are large prints and small
prints. quaint old-fashioned prints. and
others that are decidedly modernistic-
floral and naturalistlc designs and
others that are highly coventionalized
or geometric. One is impressed with
the fact that black is frequently seen
in these prints--the back background
with bright -colored design being espe-
ciallv smart at present. One dreSsmaker
will assure YOU that the smaller prints
are the best. others that the larger de-
signs arc smarter. In actual practlce
the smaller figures lend themselves pest
10 DAYTIME wear and the larger ones
to frocks for evening and formal AFTER
noon wear.
A most practical type Of costume Tor
Spring consists Of printed SILK lrock

from Nicole Groult OF Paris. showing

might be copied b. the home dress

of tho new frocks. on sleeves. belts,
pockets and elsewhere. Ready-made
tassels are rather expensive. but for
