His feet were guided day by day
BY purpose clear and bright,
He let no trials bar the way,
No pleasures cloud the light.
With single thought and AIM he
went,
With Steadfast mind and soul;
He bartered for no cheap content
The vision of his goal.
And happiness like sunlight fell
Along the paths he chose,
His purpose wove a potent spell,
Disarming all his foes.
For him life held an ordered
plan,
Hours swept serenely on,
Each day in shining sequence
ran
To greet the morrow's dawn.
His hopes, o star within his
breast,
A fixed star, white and pure,
Made each dawn brighter than
the rest,
Each step more firm and sure!

correct reading lighting, are
having a strong enough light on
your book or work, and having
some other indirect light in the
room-as opposed to the old
old theory of concentrating all
the light on your book. The
light should be white, too.
For best results, you should
have an indirect white light
from about a 100-watt bulb in
the room, and about the same
amount of white light directed
on your work, with the shade
closed at the top so the direct
light is not diffused in the room.
The looks of the shade are not
important, as long as it is white
inside. For general lighting,
white shades are best anyway.
Gladly Demonstrated
It takes much more space and
more scientific knowledge than
ours to explain the theory Of
correct lighting properly, but it
is we'll demonstrated, and will
be explained at the Electric In
stitute here in Washington,

There's a student lamp, sold
locally, which we've photo
graphed today. 1t is the tall
table lamp shown in one of our
pictures. It has the white globe
which reflects upward for an
indirect light on the ceiling, and
gives a strong white light from
beneath the shade, for reading
or work. It uses a .1O0-Watt
bulb, and is approved by the

When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN
Wedding Gr0otinva

"NA6 NAASNAA6S
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Since it is incorrect to con-
graduate the bride-to-be, what
is the correct thing to say?
What should a person say
upon meeting the bride some
time after the wedding? Upon
meeting the groom?
READER.
We should remember to use
Congratulations" when we are
felicitating the fiance or the
groom, and BEST wishes" for
the fiance or the bride. We
may expand that BEST wishes"
of course, to BEST wishes for
your happiness" or Best wishes
for your happiness always,
Betty" or MAY I offer you my
best wishes for your happiness"
or say anything else of this gen.
eral kind that is appropriate to
our relationship or friendship
with the bride-to-be or the bride.
When you meet the bride or
groom after the wedding, it
would be natural to say some
thing about the beauty or charm
of the wedding, about how
lovely the bride looked and how
happy they both looked, how
much you enjoyed being at the
wedding or the reception or
perhaps something about the
new home or their plans for the
neU home

He Fears These
Washington
lassies
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Written Exclusively for
The Washington Times

Dear Miss Fairfax:
These Washington girls are
so up-and-coming that they have
me scared to death. At a Hal
loween party, I met a girl for
the first time.
We had a jolly evening to-
gether and she told me she'd
crochet me a necktie. I said
to go ahead and promised to
give her a pair of gloves in re-
turn. I never expected any,
thing more to come of it.
But prompt as a cuckoo from
its clock, out comes the GRO
cheted necktie with a saucy note
demanding the gloves and Civ"
ing me the size she wears.
If I give her the gloves, does
this involve me in anything?
I must know, as I am engaged
to a girl in the old hometown,
and the ways of these Washing
ton lassies are new to me.
What's the language OF a
crocheted tie anyhow?
Some of the fellows in my
department. say when girl
knits you a tie, it's an offer
to put her arms round your
neck. If this is true me for
the tall timber back home.
SAM S. G.
AS long as you and the
young lady agreed to swap a
crocheted tie for a pair of
gloves, it's up to you to come
across with your part of the
bargain.
I don't believe she meant
anything serious by crocheting
you the tie. She was, perhaps,
only looking around for a
Washington pal, and you ap-
peared "willin'."
Better go slowly with this
young lady, considering the
girl back home and the fact
that the hand-wrought tie has
given you a case of protective
filters.

PARIS INTERLUDE'
 CAPITOL CINEMA
Elaborate Cast Shows in Uproarious Comedy Be-
 ginning Sunday

Lifting romance and uproarious comedy amid the gay American colony in Paris comes to the Capif tol screen starting Sunday in Paris Interlude. "The new picture, based on the New York stage hit, "All Good Americans" has an elaborate cast.
 Dealing with Paris at the time of the arrival of Lindbergh, the plot follows the fortunes of a group of newspaper correspondents, a girl fashion writer and other ex- patriates in the festive French capital.
 One of the spectacular details of the new picture is great fash- ion show, with beautiful manne- quins displaying the latest finery in a replica of famous Parisian salon. Another is the huge mas querade ball given by the artists in the Latin quarter. The famous American bar and other haunts of tourists also figure in the engaging blend of comedy and romance. Madge Evans plays the heroine. as the American tourists who. jilt- ed and stranded in Paris. wins her, way to fame as fashion writ CT. Otto Kruger plays the philand-, ering newsgatherer. and Robert Young the faithful friend with. whom the heroine eventually finds happiness. Una Merkel is the com. edy foil to the heroine. as fast talking and cynical illustrator. The co-feature is''pcmnn in
 the Rain." starring Roger Pryor and Heather Angle.
