On the other hand. never wear
frocks as If they were inferior, however
old they may be. Keep the posture
good. so that whatever Is fine in line
may show to advantage. Probably the
dress, If an old one, has done good serv-
ice. and for that it deserves to be worn
with a certain respect. This is, of
course, assuming that it is kept in good
repair, even though its presentable con-
dition Is due to careful mending and
patching, brushing and pressing.
Never call attention to defects in

they may have passed unnoticed, and,
in any event. they are unavoidable, pro-

1t may be added that many times
frocks that are not new are more be-

than the latest acquisitions to ones

worn as If they were in the category of
old clothes. thereby making them look

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Friday, February l.

Astrologers read tomorrow as an UNI
favorable day in planetary direction
and for this reason counsel caution In
important matters.
It is a day in which to plan rather
than to execute and persons should be
on their guard against discomfort.
While this configuration continues.
there may be a tendency to find work
irksome. Employees should avoid seeing
the disadvantages connected with their
positions.
It is a most unfayorable rule under
which to seek employment Of any sort.
It is wise to delay initiative.
!. Letters of introduction are supposed
to be especially perilous to those who
present them under this direction Of
the stars.
Women appear to be particularly UNI
fortunate while this sway continues,
and they should be unusually diplo-
matte in all affairs of the heart.
It is not lucky day for theaters
and those who depend on them for
livelihood. The seers long have FORE
told a precarious season.
Actors at this time probably will be
more fortunate than the women of
the profession. The planets seem to
favor men at the top of the ladder Of
fame.
While all the signs seem to forecast a
year of supreme prosperity, there will
be many who find that fortune frowns.
for the law of extremes will be apparent.
Young folks are warned to take life
seriously at this time, when trenen-
dous hidden forces are at work and
great tests are preparing for those who
carry hfe,S responsibilities. :.
The new moon Of the month presages
for the British government many ex-
traordinary conditions that affect all
political parties.
Ireland, Wales and Scotland now
come under depressing and trying In
fluences, the seers announce.
Persons whose birth date 1t Is have
the augury of year of varied expert
ences. They should be wise in all social
connections.
Children born on that day probably
will be exceedingly individual and tenn
peramental. These subjects of Aquarius
probably will work hard, but they should
be cautious and should be on their
guard where women are concerned.

BY ALEXANDER r.. GEORGE.

Through countryside where stee
trains thunder and airplanes and motor
cars today roar a tocsin Of twentieth
century speed George Washington lac
years ago made a seven-day journey
over mud roads from Mount Vernon to
New York City to become the first
President of the United States.
It was the wish of Gen. Washington
leaving the beloved seclusion of his
estate on the Potomac. to avoid all SEM
blance of parade, but the adulation OF
the people of the young republic made
that impossible.
Groups of citizens and attachments OF
militia escorted him the entire distance
and he rode under triumphal arches into
Philadelphia and other cities. The
ladies of the period showered him with
flowers and rendered. with colonial mod
esty, sonatas to the communicating
chief of the Continental Army.
April 30. 1889, Washington, the Fed
eralist and Virginia gentleman, took the
oath of Office on the gallery of old Fed
eral Hall in the presence of an "im-
mense concourse of citizens" The peo-
pie were assembled in Broad street, on
Manhattan Island, once the bailiwick Of
the fiery Dutch governor, Peter Stuy-
vesant, and now the financial center OF
the world.
The New York Daily Advertiser in
its issue of May 1, 1889, gives this CO.
temporary account Of the inaugural
ceremonies:
"At 9 am. the clergy Of different
denominations assembled their congre-
cations in their respective places of wor-
ship and offered UP prayers for the
safety of the President. s-'
About IL o'clock the procession
moved from the house of the PreSi-
dent, in Cherry street, through Dock
street and Broad to Federal Hall in the
following order: Col. Lewis, supported
by two officers; Capt Stokes, with a
troop of horse artillery; Maj. Van
Horne; grenadiers under Capt. Horrin,
German grenadiers, the infantry of the
brigade, Maj. Christie, sheriff; the COM
mittee Of the Senate, the President and
his suite, the committee of representa-
tiveS, Hon. Mr.. Jay, Gen. Knox, Chan
cellor Livingston and several other gen.
tlemen of distinction. Then followed a
multitude of citizens.
His excellency was conducted into
the hall and in the Senate chamber was
introduced to both Houses of Congress.
Immediately afterward, accompanied
by the two houses, he went into the gal
lery, where he took the oath of office,
administered by r. r. Livingston,
chancellor Of New York
THE chancellor proclaimed him Pres
ident, there was discharge of - guns
and loud. repeated shouts from the
crowd The President bowed to the
people and the air again rang with their
acclamations.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

January 81, 1S65.--Amid scenes of
great enthusiasm the House of Repre-
sentatives today adopted by two-thirds
majority, with a few votes to spare, the
resolution to submit to the States a
proposed amendment to the Constitu-
ton forever abolishing slavery in the
United States. @..~-,,
There was great crowd in the gall
ieries; Defying all precedents. it broke
into loud cheers and other demonstra-
tons of Joy over the result of the vote.
The scene was one of the most dra-
matte ever witnessed in the House
chamber and will doubtless long be re-
membered by those present.
This Is the amendment which was
agreed upon by the Republican ma
tional convention when President Lin
coin was renominated for the presi-
dency last Summer. 1t is known that
the President used his influence In the
House as well as in the convention to
have 1t adopted.
The resolution has already passed the
Senate. There was no difficulty about
1t there. but its fate in the House was
considered doubtful. Until few hours
before the vote was taken today 1t was
believed by many persons that the re-
suit would be so close as to be decided
by the toss Of copper"
It was known, of course, that
majority Of the House members favored
the passage of the resolution, but
question arose concerning the two-thirds
necessary to submit constitutional
amendment to the States for ratiflca-
ton.
1t was on account of this doubt con-
corning the outcome in the House to-
day that the galleries were so crowded
and so much enthusiasm was manifest
ed by the abolitionists.
During the last few days there have
been vigorous efforts to- win doubtful
votes for the amendment, in which
President Lincoln has helped greatly.
The passage Of the resolution brings
to an end fight that has been waged
for the abolition of slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia, which began many
years before the Civil War, or before
the question became acute in the coun-
try as a whole. The New England
abolitionists long ago conferred their
efforts on the Federal District as a
place In which human slavery should
no longer be permitted.

Carriage as Important as Raiment
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

The manner in which clothes are
worn Is as important a factor in their
becomingness as the modishness of
their cut or the beauty of the textile
from which they are made. There are
women who wear the handsomest of
gowns whom one never would describe
rs smartly dressed, while there are
Others who wear old frocks as If they
were just from some chic French shop.

of being considered well gowned.
The important matter is to get the
right attitude of mind as well as body:
Never act as if fine clothes were q
novelty. This gives self-conscious
and arrogant manner that is repellant
rather than attractive. The handsome
raiment is subservient to the naughty
carriage which quells admiration of
