Wages the only income workers have An unemployed
worker gets SO he has income from which to

production they close their factories and deprive the workers
of their jobs and their Out of job and without

sDon'ts" for ConversationaIists
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

, ments. It is not that dissent is in
itself agreeable, but that exchange OF
ideas Is stimulating.
Combative conversation, on the other
hand, is to be avoided. It engenders
hard feeling. To disagree constantly
with other people may keep a converse
ton lively, but 1t is sure to create
"sides," which eventually disrupt the
discourse. The very atmosphere be-
comes unpleasant. 1t requires the ut
most tact of hostess or a leader to
steer the talk into happy channels
again. The person who has the habit
of disagreeing becomes a dangerous
conversationalist, although she may be
one unwittingly.
Strange as 1t may seem, there are
persons who deliberately question other
persons opinions, believing that this is
a good way to learn more about a sub
ject under discussion. Occasionally this
method may be used effectually, but
those who take the opposite sides have
to be very tactful and diplomatic in
the way they handle the conversation.
Unless they are, the talk soon resolves
itself into a debate in which each one
is trying to pick flaws in the others
arguments.
One of the rules governing good con-
versation Is to agree with another's
point of view just as far as is possible
before taking exception to It,, BY so
doing the conversation gets eonto a
sound basis. There Is foundation of
agreement upon which to build op-
posing ideas. These ideas should be so
set forth that another side of the uues-
ton becomes apparent which It is
hoped will meet with the approval of
others. When ideas are given and
taken in good spirit keen interest at
taches to the conversation, which is
lively without becoming combative.
The art of conversation is many
sided. The ideas presented today are
but two. There are anecdotal converse
lions that are excellent for dinner
parties, suppers, conversational eve
nings. etc. In the anecdotal talks each
person finds himself or herself recalling
stories that aptly fit into the discourse
One person is said to "cap" the story
of another. A really good converse
tionalist has fund of amusing tales
and incidents to introduce, to lend
point to an argument, to change the
current Of the talk or merely to bring
laughter and happiness into the affair.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD a. CRAIG.

May 0, 1865.-Pursuant to q call pub
lished widely in the city during the last
few days and signed by many citizens
of Washington, public meeting was
held tonight on the street and parkway
in front Of the City Hall for the pur-
pose Of taking action with respect to
the return to the District Of Columbia
of Southern sympathizers, who have
been in the South, closely identified
with the Confederate cause since the
commencement of the late war.
The upshot of the meeting was the
adoption of a set of resolutions which
set forth that I'VE cannot do
Eetically resist the settlement among
us of those who have during the last
four years been directly connected" with
the Confederate government, and "espe-
cially of that portion of them who were
formerly residents OF the District"
The resolutions further recite that
while we would carefully avoid I'M
grounded suspicious and unjust crimi-
nations, we cannot doubt that combi-
nations or associations have existed in
this community" to further the objects
of the Southern Confederacy. These
associations, the resolutions go on to
say, are believed not to have been who'll
ly abandoned yet. The return of men
and women to Washington who have
been closely connected with the Con-
federate cause in the late war would
tend to encourage these organizations,
1t was held.
The resolutions, however, urge the
utmost prudence and elaboration" and
the avoidance of "rashness and precipi-
fancy of action" in dealing with these
cases. Instead, calm Judgment and re-
straint are advocated.
The meeting agreed that whatever Is
done by the local citizens should be in
cooperation with the Federal Govern
ment. Committees are to be selected
from each ward of Washington City,
from Georgetown and from the County
of Washington to confer on the sub
ject with the Federal authorities.
It was made plain both in the reso-
lutions and by the speakers that only
those persons who have been actively
connected with the Confederate cause
are sought to be excluded from return
to the District.
The meeting was called to order by
John r. Elvans, and John Wilson was
chosen presiding officer. Among the
speakers were Joseph F. Brown, w. II.
Tenney, N. M. Gaylor, Capt. j. w. Kicks
of California and others.

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLIsTER,

This is the time of year when we par
ticularly like to have our window cur
tains look attractive. We must match
the Spring. We must be fresh and
young and charming. And how better
give our houses an appearance of Spring
than by pinning up new curtains at the
windows?
Curtains do several things. They
keep out too much light, they keep out
unwelcome neighbors-so far as their
eyes are concerned-and they keep out
air Heavy side curtains of velour at
the windows of a big country house
doubtless help keep the room comfort
able and warm.
In Summer we don't want to keep
out the air. We want to let in the air.
We do want to keep out the light, but
usually a roller shade is the most
convenient way to do this in the Sum-
mer. As rule our Summer curtains
are needed either to protect our rooms
from prying eyes or simply. to add to
the attractiveness of our outlook.
Ruined curtains of thin net are most
attractive in Summer. They may be
crossed over and tied back II we wish,
and may be so arranged that they
cover much or little of the window glass
The thinner the net, Of course, the less
air these curtains exclude.
Net curtains in heavier mesh and
quality may be hung straight at our
windows. Colored net Is attractive
hung In this way.

Chaplain, an eminent French poet
of the seventeenth century, was called
by the academicians the Knight Of the
Order of the Spider, because he wore
coat so patched and pieced that the
stitches resembled a collection OF spider
webs.
He had no need so to dress, for he
was possessed of plenty of funds. He
was misery.
Chaplain, by the way, was one of
the first academicians. He belonged to
a group of learned men who met In
1929 to discuss science and literature.
Cardinal Richelieu, hearing of these
meetings, encouraged them and finally
gave them regular form by the 1nsti-
tuition of the French Academy.
The poet was astonishingly stingy.
When he was writing his poem, the
"Pucelle" La Pucelle was Joan OF
Arc), the Duke de Longueville not only
gave him several donations but pen
sion of 1000 crowns. Chaplain took
such a long time to compose his mas
terpiece that the duke cut thousand
francs annually from the allowance.
He boarded with relative. When
ever he dined out he made deduction
from his board, which did not how
ever, anger the relative, who knew that

BEEF STEW

The inmates of q Western pen grew
mutinous in their despair, for often
times, and yet again, beef stew was on
the bill Of fare. They lined up In the
dining hall and made the warden I'M
derstand that they would balk at duty's
call unless that wholesome dish were
canned. They'd had beef stew in every
guise, they'd had it hot, they'd had 1t
cold, 1t had been dished to them in
pies, in other fashions manifold. The
warden cried: my merry men, this
Joint has won q fair renown; 1t is an
eaSy-going pen, where none's oppressed
or beaten down. Here kindness always
is on tap we'd rather rule by love than
hate, and I think him a lucky chap
who comes inside our prison gate. But
you are an ungrateful crew, with whom
no kindness can avail; you stand and
knock our rich beef stew, the best that's
served in any jail. Our stew'S prepared
by gifted cooks who learned their trade
in great hotels; 1t is too good for tim
horn crooks who should chew turnipS
In their cells. We cut out kindness
from this day, q hard-boiled policy will
reign; we'll smash the crook who dares
to say our bill Of fare gives him pain"
The warden, from his point of view.
was talking logic, admit, for well he
knew the pens beef stew was fine
enough to make hit. Beef stew, when
properly prepared, is good enough for
any king; it's good enough for prince
or laird, 1t should to all much comfort
bring. But even such dish as this, If
dished up every passing day, will put
the lid on human bliss and drive all
grateful thoughts away. No doubt the
savage convict host would show no
signs of wrath or grief If they could
have some quail on toast three times a
week, as a relief. WALT MASON.

and such good one was he that the
Montana Senator praised him on the
floor Of the Senate.
Walsh wanted him this time to assist
in the lobbying Investigation. With the
members Of the lobby committee, Hol-
land was made the official investigator.
Thinking that the task would require
only few weeks, Holland agreed to
take 1t over. But he has been at 1t for
more than six months. His regular job
Is chief trial attorney at prohibition
headquarters in New York.
1t has been up to this young man as
committee investigator to provide the
five Senators, charged with looking into
the activities of lobbyists in Washing
ton, with ammunition"
This has meant that he must delve

cations under fire for evidence Of lobby

by Holland.
At his finger tips are sheaves of cor
respondence and he must be able to
provide instantly any letter or docu-
ment asked for.
When the committee has concluded
its days work, usually around noon,
Holland goes back to his Office to dig up
more evidence for the next day. At
times his search carries him far into
the night and through literally thou
sands of letters and records.
His work is of incalulable value to
the lobby committee The work of these
five Senators has been greatly lightened
by Hollands efforts.
Thad Caraway, chairman of the COM
nittee, says young Hollands work has
been Invaluable" Walsh says that
without the aid OF his protege I'VE would
never have been able to achieve what
has been accomplished" That ace of

praise of Hollands "indefatigability,
courage and discrimination"

some day he would get hold Of his
guests wealth.
His avarice enabled him to acquire
an annual income of 10000 livres and
he had nearly quarter of million
in ready money. But he did not alter
his style of living. Indeed he practiced
such economies as wiping his hands on
handful Of rushes in order to save
towels
His avarice was the cause of his
death. After a heavy rain the streets
of Paris we're flooded with water.
Rather than pay for the use of plank
which thrifty citizen had laid across
passage he waded. He caught cold
and pneumonia removed him to another
sphere.
During his last illness his amusement
consisted of opening his strong box and
examining his money bags to see
whether any of his cash had gotten
away.
He died with the bags ranged round
his bed. An associate who was with
him said afterward: Our friend
Chaplain has died like a miller, with
all his sacks about him."
