Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD a. CRAIG.

April 10, 1S65.-This was generally
conceded to be ''the most solemn day
in the history of Washington" by those
who took part In, or witnessed, the flu
nera. procession and burial services for
Abraham Lincoln, victim of an assassin's
bullet. There have been other Inn
pressive funeral pageants in Washing
ton when the honored dead was, as IN
this instance, the President of the
United States and the obsequies have
been marked by all the reverence and
solemnity due to the occasion. But to
all this was added today the depth OF
feeling arising from an almost fllial
love for the martyr President, who has
guided the Nation successfully through
four years of terrible civil war.
Never has the Capital City witnessed
a funeral procession so immense and
reverential as that of today. All day
the streets were filled with sorrowing
citizens of this and other cities. Trains
and boats brought thousands of visitors
from near and far. Alexandria, George
town and Baltimore seemed to have
depopulated themselves and the cities
further north and west were largely
represented.
The Philadelphia firemen, q superb
looking body of men, who have hereto
fore visited Washington on festive oc-
casions in their smart uniforms, came
today clad in black broadcloth to pay
their reverence to the remains OF the
President they helped to inaugurate.
The City Hall was the central point
where various delegations from other
cities met under the escort of the local
City Councils.
The body of the dead President lay
in the east room of the White House.
where the persons invited to enter the
Executive Mansion began to arrive at
IL o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Lincoln
did not enter the east room. being too
i'll from nervous proStration and incip-
lent fever brought on by the awful ex-
citement and sorrow to which she had
been subjected. The two sons of the
martyr President, Masters Thadeus and
Robert Lincoln, were among the
mourners.
President johnson and the cabinet
members were present: also high ON
Gals of the executive and judicial
branches of the Government, Senators
and Representatives, officers of the
Army and Navy and representatives Of
foreign governments.
The funeral sermon was delivered by
Rev. DR.. Gurley of the New York Ave-
nue. Presbyterian Church, where the late
President worshiped. When the serv-
ices were over at the White House, the
long procession moved, with the body in
the funeral car. along Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to the Capitol, where burial services
were held before an immense throng in
the rotunda. The Capitol plaza and
grounds were filled with vast and sor-
rowing throng.

The Sidewalks of Washington

1t is good thing not to take our
selves too seriously. An actor well

on his way home the other night, after
having given an excellent representation
of 6 man controlled by evil spirits.

living" said he with chuckle. Most
of his roles are villainous ones. It Is
his business to be foiled by the hero.
We have always wondered why it is
that most of the professional villains
of the stage are such personable fell
lows. Is it because they tire of being
scoundrels in public and want to prove
to the world that in reality they are
good fellows? We know a man who
is stage villain six nights week and
twice at matinees. He is UP every morn
ing early to take the Riddles to school
and does all the family marketing. His
wife says that on the day the maid is
off he even helps dry the dishes.

Midwinter when the MONDAY sun is

A Spring Tonic.

At this season of the year most of us
get bored by our usual routine. 1t is
something that hits us with the change
from Winter to Spring. Perhaps the
sap coming up has much to do with it,
and we feel we can no longer stand the
confines Of a building. a desk, or what
ever it may be that appears to hold us.
For those who work all week, this
should be the time they begin week
end outings, even though it amounted
to no more than half day in the
country or the park. Then a complete
change in habits will have tonic effect

stimulate interest in the usual affairs
that have become dulled.

BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

she knows she has an artistic hat. for
she must look charming in 1t. A becom-
ing hat is a great tonic to all women
inclined to be depressed, and fashions
are so generous now in making the
older women look so much younger. If
you feel stale, or nerves on edge, my
advice is for you to go out and have a
regular debauch in buying the loveliest
hat you can afford. Freshen up some
frock with added color, exchange your
room somewhat with fresh curtains or
new pillow slips, or even change your
bath by taking it at another hour, or
by adding perfume, or colored bath
salts, for no other reason than change.

4 bread, rperfect toast is easy now.
It's slo-baked bread called Wonder
Bread, already well known to scores Of
women here. In no way is it to be con-
fused with ordinary breads. Over six
million dollars was spent in its develop
ment. Everything about it is different.
To toast it once is to insist on it
always. It impresses you at once by the
absence Of burned edges, unevenly
Drowned surfaces, or scorched spots.
Also it makes toast in quicker time.
Being of fine texture, it slices quickly
and smoothly. vCrumbling" is largely
eliminated even when your aim is excep-
tionally thin slices.
So first please read its additional
advantages as described below. And
then try Wonder Bread at once. Do
this, if you wish, in the nature of trial,
no matter how much you may favor
your present bread.
