sleighs of all sorts filled with Jolly parties and
merTymakers. Fifty years ago. during such
weather. one could see the blacksmith shops
crowded with horses awaiting their turn to be
roughshod.
Indeed. to us, artistically at least, it seems
quite backward step from the picturesque
ness Of the old snnithy TO its successor the cold
and matter-of-fact automobile garage. Take,
for instance, some cold, frosty morning I'm
Midwinter during o heavy snowstorm, and
just imagine seeing once again the beautiful,
glowing forge, with its name intensified by the
bellows, the iron blown TO . white heat. and the
thousand and more Of burning sparks IS they
ny from the anvil while the iron is being
welded or shaped by the sturdy smith, working
as he is with all the power at his command to
keep the street car horses and the numerous
vehicles moving for the good Of the public.
In 1880 there were over hundred black
smith shops In washington. The writer re-
members web John Mangan, whose shop was
at 1341 Fourteenth street northwest; Frederick
Weibezahl, on Ninth street opposite the Bust
ness High School; John +. Preinkert, IT'S
Seventh street, whose boy George he went to
of Georgia avenue and Rock Greek Church
road, where his son later ran an automobile
place. Indeed, these and many more noble
old fellows could be mentioned. They made
dull days bright and, to the fullest extent.
earned their bread by the sweat Of their brow.
and the writer confesses that he never heard
Of lazy one In his life. LongfellOw wrote:
Under q spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands:
The smith, o mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles Of his brawny arms
Are strong rs iron bands.

STIis hair is crisp and black, and long,
His face Is like the tan;
His brow Is wet with honest sweat
He earns whate'er he can,
And looks the whole world IN the face,
For he owes not any man.
'Week In, week out, from morn tin night,
You can hear his bellows blow:
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge,
With measured beat and slow,
Like sexton ringing the village bell
When the evening sun is low.
"And children coming home from school
Look IN at the open door;
They love TO see the flaming forge,
And hear the bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks that ny
Like chan from threshing floor"
Indeed, 1t Is these childhood impressions Of
honest toll that make us industrious as we grow
older, and develop our characters for good
citizenship Some IS years ago an uptown
store exhibited painting of q blacksmith
shop, and crowds viewed it while it was On
exhibition. It was as perfect as an artist could
make It, Two things In particular could not
have been surpassed The light coming through
an opening high up in the shop, and the cob
webs. which excited the admiration Of all lovers
OF art. But to come from the sublime to the
ridiculous, how much inspiration for q great
work could an artist get out Of . garage? No
doubt very little, If any. An automobile Is
necessity; q good span Of horses was . delight
and . great pleasure.

The suit shown in the sketch today
is one of the last described sort and a
more practical all-occasion suit for the
more mature woman could not well be
found. To make costume Of this sort
at home requires no unusual dressmak-
ing talents, while the cost OF ready
made suits of the sort is unusually
reasonable this season.
The more complicated sort of home
dressmaking seems too difficult when
weather Is warm and springy. You
should have some simple white sew
ing that can be done on the veranda
or in the garden. This weeks illus
trated circular gives a very simple
nightgown pattern that calls for two
and one-half yards of crepe de chine
or light cotton material. If you would

Quack as she sailed out into the Smil-
ing Pool with her 10 babies Just back
of her.
Farmer Browns Boy happened to
come down to the Smiling Pool with
some corn just as Mrs. Quack and her
babies appeared, and perhaps you can
guess how delighted he was. Mrs. Quack
came over at once to get the corn that
Farmer Browns Boy threw In the water
The babies didn't know what to make
Of it when they first saw their mother
seeming to stand on her head In the
water. They gathered around and just
stared at her in round-eyed surprise.
OF course, they couldn't eat yellow corn,
as they were so little that they had to
have softer food. So presently their
mother led them over along the swampy
edge Of the Smiling Pool, where among
the tussocks of grass and bulrushes
they could quickly hide in time Of dan
ger. There they found insects of vari-
GUS kinds and they soon were tipping
up in the shallow water and searching
in the mud below for things to eat.
Curiously enough that very night
Unc' Billy Postum found the deserted
nest. He never had given up looking
for 1t. Every once in q while when
he had nothing else to do he would 60
looking for Mrs. Quack and her nest,
and it just happened that the night
after that nest was deserted Unc' Billy,
poking around, happened to push his
head under some big skunk cabbage
leaves and right into mass Of feathers
They were the feathers with which Mrs
Quack had lined her nest. But the nest
was empty save for some broken egg
shells. Unc' Billy didn't waste any time
there. His nose told him that that nest
hadn't been deserted very long and
right away he started to look for those
ducklings. Those baby ducks would be
quite as good eating and perhaps better
eating than the eggs would have been.

Mrs. Quack's Proud Moment.
In this I'm sure we all agree
A mothers pride is good to see:
old Mother Nature.

Nothing happened to those precious
eggs of Mrs. Quack's. Plenty of wor-
RES she had and many moments when
she was terribly frightened. But Peter
Rabbit and Chatterer the Red Squirrel
were the only ones who discovered her
secret and so in time those 10 eggs
Matched and 10 fuzzy little ducklings
were ready to go for their first swim.
It was proud moment for Mrs. Quack
when she led them out from under
those big, broad skunk cabbage leaves,
and started for the Smiling Pool.
But If Mrs. Quack was proud, she was
as anxious as she was proud. All the
anxiety which had been hers while she
was on the nest was nothing compared
to the anxiety which she felt now and
knew she would continue to feel as
long as those ducklings were too small
to care for themselves. A lively lot
were those bright-eyed babies. Yes, in
deed, they were lively lot. Mrs. Quack
felt as If she needed eyes all over her
first thing she taught them was to
mind instantly. She knew that their
safety depended on this and she took
great pains to make them understand
that something dreadful would happen
to them If they didn't mind.
Down to the Laughing Brook Mrs.
Quack led them first. You would have
laughed to see them padding about for
the first time. They had no more fear
Of the water than they had of the
ground when they had left the nest.
Then Mrs. Quack swan down the
Laughing Brook, going slowly, so that
the babies could keep up with her. And
in this way they reached the Smiling
Pool. A proud mother, indeed, was Mrs.

Today in
Washington History

April "a, 1854 large number of
loyal refugees from the Southern
States, principally from Virginia and
North Carolina, met in this city this
morning at the Ebbitt House. After
electing Judge Underwood of Vir-
ginia as president of the meeting they
proceeded in a body to call upon
President johnson.
After arriving at the Presidents
apartments in the Treasury Building,
Judge Underwood announced in few
remarks the object of the delegation.
The delegates, he said, were from
every Southern State and for the most
part were "exiles" He said the recent
utterances of President johnson had
stirred their spirits like a trumpet"
and encouraged the hope Of speedy
their thanks to the President for
promising to punish "evildoers" and
prayed that the new administration
might be 1.-The protector of the OPP
pressed" and that the country may
be the home of freedom. liberty, in
dustry, religion and peace"
President johnson replied briefly,
thanking the delegates for coming to
see him and expressing gratif1catlon at
their assurances of support. He said
it was hardly necessary for him to
war we're in sympathy with theirs.
The President said he had entered
upon the duties of his office under
circumstances that are 'perilous and
responsible" and, in view of all before
him, the position was particularly
embarrassing and their assurances Pc
culiarly acceptable"
It was not necessary, President
johnson added, for him to indicate his
future course of action. If his past
life gave no assurance OF what u
would be, his professions now would
be of no avail, he declared.
So far as clemency was concerned,
President johnson said its exercise
should be bounded by caution. He said
he was not actuated by revenge, put
he had become satisfied that mercy
without Justice became a crime.
He assured the delegates of his IN
tention to bring peace at the earliest
possible moment.

A Second Alarm.

A girls ear may be keen to detect
false alarm but not so sharp when 1t
comes to telling the difference between
the first and the second to say nothing
of the third and fourth. She knows
when the wedding bells mean business.
The only question Is whether she can
tell how serious the fire Is.
The fire ladies around the blaze
know that the affair is not really con-
flagration until the chief sends In
second alarm and calls for more en-
gines. They aren't worried about lot
Of smoke.
Your young heart may have warmed
up'a bit toward some man, especially
now that it's Spring, but that doesn't
mean anything more than a first alarm
The chances are that your little flames
will succumb to fire extinguisher II 1T
is working all right. It's when you
have to send in a second alarm that
you should worry.
We are supposed to know by means
Of inside information when We are In
love. but lot Of the fire started by
the heart may amount to no more than
a flash in the pan. The firemen always
rspond to a call, even when it's only a
burning awning or an oil stove that
mistakes itself for kitchen range.
But you aren't in the fire department.
You needn't be in hurry to answer
the alarm.
A woman's heart has a cloak of as
bestos around it, so that its fires won't
burn through. She can keep her feel
ings in a vacuum bottle, where they'll
stay warm without showing any tenn
perature on the outside.
If she receives the inside information.
she can afford to take some notice OF
it, but there's no need of getting ex-
cited, still less panicky, just because OF
the little blaze. Men are all firebugs
who like to start little CONGREGATIONS
Just to see what'll happen, but If you
don't supply them with fuel, the fire
will soon die out, unless it's the real
thing
A girl may go through one of these
love fires only to imagine that the eff
feet is a total loss" when the actual
amount of damage is so slight that the
attentions of another man will cover 1t.
Your heart is not made of excelsior
packing. It's something which can
stand lot of fire. When cupid runs
to the corner to turn in an alarm of
fire, be ready to respond, but don't run
out until the little rascal turns in a
second alarm.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

no uncommon sight to see him stop a
newspaper man he knows and ask for
cigarette. When Bernard Shaw's new
play "The Apple Cart" opened in Balti-
more, and at the last minute one OF
the boys in the press gallery appealed
to him for aid in getting tickets, Tyd-
ings attended to the request personally
and got him the best tickets in the
house.
A bachelor, he lives in fine old man
sion in Georgetown. His parties there
are smart and attended by some of the
most interesting people in Washington.
Despite the fact that Tydings' duties
in the Senate require the greater part
of his time, he finds opportunity to
dabble in the arts. He Is a portrait
painter of no little ability.
He is writer of verse and an anna
ture playwright. At the conclusion of
the war he wrote a history of the ma
chine gun units in France. During the
war he was a lieutenant colonel in
command Of a machine gun battalion
that saw heavy fighting.
He was graduated as a mechanical
engineer from the Maryland Agricul-
tural College, now a part of the State
University, and for while was with
the engineering department OF the Bal
timore 81 Ohio Railroad.
His seat in the Senate is on the last
row of the Democratic side of the
chamber. Most of the time he sits
there listening to his colleagues. When
he takes part in debate it is with much
fire and force.
His carroty hair, slender build and
rudy complexion set him apart from
his more elderly colleagues.

Country Daughters in City.

Every year there Is an influx of young
girls into New York City, a majority OF
them bent on either stage fame or mon
eyed husbands. Naturally many of those
girls return home, disillusioned and
more appreciative OF their homes and
home towns.
Parents try to discourage or dissuade
their daughters from making the pill
grimage by almost every means but the
most effective one.
Were they to tell their daughters
about the hundreds Of girls tramping
the streets for the few stage positions
available, how frequently engagements
are short and involve one-week stands
all over the country, maybe things
would be different.
If these girls could be acquainted
with actual conditions. they might not
think their parents only concern was
to protect them from the 'perils" OF
what is probably one of the cleanest
and safest of cities.
It is an employment problem, not a
moral one. It Is doubtful If girl can
succeed in New York If she has not
succeeded at home. In some fields
there may be more opportunities, but
it is also true there Is keener competi-
ton. with overabundant supply OF
talent.
Business opportunities are little, if
any, greater in New York than else
where. Salaries are sometimes a bit
higher, but the cost Of living Is higher

A Sermon for Today
Help Somebody Today.
By REV. JOHN n. QUINN.

GAS we have therefore opportunity,
let us do good unto all Gal,
WHO.
Seldom, If ever. does any day pass
that we do not have opportunity to do
good unto somebody.
Think of the people one meets in the
course of a dayI Can 1t be possible
that we can meet all these people and
see no opportunity to be helpful to any
of them? Not If we are looking for
such opportunity.
The trouble with many of us is that
we are looking for opportunities to serve
ourselves. not to serve Others II we
would reverse this order, we would see
in every person we meet a chance to do
good
What if the person be a stranger?
We can at least treat him kindly. II
only we speak pleasant word TO MIN,
we may send him away with hghter
heart.
Pauls word is that we should do good
unto all men"-not just to those we
know, but to the stranger as well; not
just to those with whom we have some
attachment, but to all with whom we
come in contact.
This is also the teaching of greater
than Paul Christ teaches that we are
under obligation to love and serve al!
men. And this teaching He enforced
by His example. No one ever came near
Him with any real need and went away
unblessed.
We may not be under obligation to
give money to every man who asks LOT
it, but we are under obligation to give
our love, and love means whatever help
is needed-bread for the hungry, SYM
pathy for the sorrowing, and cheer
ing word for the hard-presseo and
struggling.
Consider all this-help somebody TO-
day.

Straight Talks to Women About Money

in proportion, so that young girl may
earn SIS more a week in New York, only
to find her living costs are So to SIS q
week higher.
A woman--or a man, for that mat
ter-must go where the greatest market
exists for her ability and talent. She
should, however, make the most Of home
opportunities before venturing afleld.
Even a lesser measure Of success at
home is sometimes preferable to success
long associations.
Home offers Intangible as well as tan
gible things that money can never re-
place. Before packing her things"
every young girl should consider whether
New York offers as much as 1t deprives

tempt to try her luck unless she can
finance herself until she becomes estab-
