We have gone so completely Eng
hsh on the subject Of tweeds. There
are suits and ensembles and gowns
galore to choose from made of the
daintiest most fetching woolens that
ever you saw.
So, if your fancy turn to other
than tweed why not superbly tai
lored pencil-striped lightweight
wool crepe suit such as centers the
group pictured?
To the right in the picture, see
what white violets and frothy white
organdie do in the way Of toning
a sheer black wool dress up to a
fascinating degree of feminine al
lure. The draped cowl of embroid-
cred organdie with val edging as
here worn is real news as to what's
doing in the neckwear realm this
spring. Top this costume with a
white violet crowned hat, add a
violet corsage and you couldn't look
sweeter on bright Easter morn.
To the left is charming suit in
navy serge with collar and cuffs of
pique.
With greater than ever suit sea-
son heralded for spring one can't
possibly have too many blouses,
and the big news in the blouse
realm is the revival of the sheer
handmade "baby blouse exquisite
ly tucked and frilled, hand-embroid-
cred and lace trimmed. See the
picture of one of the newest lingerie
blouses inset in the group below.
1t is of self-printed organdy. Note
the new fluted collar with its tiny
narrow lace-trimmed edge to add
to its sheer daintiness.

A Perilous Journey

A All. FItANDOLFE1 .. MATT
~ halted with his party of 40 sol
diers and IS mountain men at the
junction of the Uncompahgre and
Gunnison rivers on his way to Fort
Union, N. NJ, in 1857. "Me no guide
you over San Juan mountains in
winter time" declared the old Ute
Indian chief.
Capt Marcy had orders to join the
forces of Col. Albert Sidney john
ston near Salt Lake City with ami
mails and supplies. The orders said
to proceed without delay so there
was nothing for Captain Marcy to
do except proceed. In spite of the
Indian warning that none of the
men would get through Cochetopa
pass alive, the party left December
II for Fort Massachusetts, near the
present Fort Garland.
Four days later, when they
reached the mountains, winters
fiercest storms were raging. Snow
swirled and beat against their faces.
It piled in deep drifts and hung
heavily on the legs of animals and
men. The cold became intense.
Captain Marcy's detachment
pushed on, although animals fell
dead in their tracks and men had to
abandon equipment. Before they
reached even the summit of the
pass their rations were exhausted
and they had to eat the flesh of the
mules as the animals died.
On January IL couriers from a
relief party arrived and announced
that help was close at hand. Short
ly thereafter aid came. So, starved
were the men that Captain Marcy
issued strict warnings to eat spar
ingly. VIZ
His orders evidently were only
partly obeyed as one man died from
overeating-the only fatality in one
of the most trying adventures Of
American history.

Edith read the note twice, then
put it to her lips. She hardly dared
admit to herself the keenness of
her disappointment.
She stood for a long time at the
window looking out Why had Jane
decided not to marry Uncle Fred
erick? What had happened since
yesterday afternoon?
From Edith's window she could
see the south lawn. The servants
were arranging buffet luncheon.
Little tables were set around-and
wicker chairs. Adelaide, tall and
fair, in her favorite blue and broad
black hat stood by one of the little
tables. She was feeding the pea
cock with bits of bread. She made
a picture, and Towne's window
faced that way.
81 wonder" Edith said, and
stopped. She remembered coming
in from the movies the night be-
fore and finding Adelaide and Towne
on the porch. And where was Jane?
Towne did not eat lunch. He
pleaded important business, and had
his car brought around. But every
body knew that he was following
Jane. Mystery was in the air. Ade-
laide was restless. Only Edith knew
the truth.
After lunch, she told Lucy. "Jane
isn't going to marry Uncle Fred.
don't know why. But I am afraid
that it is breaking up your house
party"
81 hope it is" said Lucy, calmly.
"Delafield is bored to death. He
wants to get back to his pigs and
roses. | am speaking frankly to
you because know you understand.
I want our lives to be bigger and
broader than they would have been
If we hadn't met. And as for you"
her voice shook a httle-"you'll
always be sort of goddess bless
ing our hearth"
Edith bent and kissed her, emo
ton gripping her. "Your heartl. is
blessed without me-" she said, "but
I'll always be glad to come"
Towne, rldlng like mad along the
Virginia roads, behind the compe-
tent Briggs, reread James letter.
ST was not upstairs last night
when you came. I was asleep in
the window-seat of the iving-room,
just OFF the porch. And your voice
walked me and ! heard what you
said, and Mrs. Laramore. And ]

you've done for me-and / shall
never forget your goodness. Baldy
will take me home"
Enclosed was pink check.
Towne blamed Adelaide furious
ly. OF course it was her fault. Such
foolishness. And sentimentality.
And he had been weak enough to
fall for it.
Yet, as he cooled a bit, he was
glad that Jane had showed her re-
sentiment. 1t was in keeping with
his conception of her. Her innocence

voice. "You don't want any dinner
because she won't be at the other
end of the table?
Yes" His face was turned from
her. His hands were clinched. His
throat was dry. For moment he
wished he were alone that he might
weep for his mother.
And then Jane said, Let me sit
at the other end of your table,
He turned back to her, and saw
her eyes, and what he saw made
him reach out blindly for her hand

brooding tenderness.
"Oh, Evans, Evans" she said. 81
am not going to marry Frederick
Towne."
"Why not?" thickly.
''I don't love him.
ssDo you love me, Jane?"
She nodded and could not speak.
They clung together. He wept and
was not ashamed of it.
And standing there, with his head
against her breast, Jane knew that
she had found the best. Marriage
was not a thing of luxury and soft
living, of flaming moments of wild
emotion. 1t was a thing of hard
ness shared, of spirit meeting spirit,
of dream matching dream. Jane,
that afternoon, had caught her
breath as she had come into the
darkened hall, and had seen Evans
standing between those slender lads.
So some day, perhaps, in this old
house-his sonsl

Ramspeck Praises
Merit System and
Spread of Plan

Praising the merit system of gov
ernment over the "spoils SYSTEM
Representative Robert Ramspeck of
Georgia declared last night that IF
this country ever loses freedom. or
the form of government which makes
freedom possible, I am much more
afraid it will come from bad admin
istration rather than Communism or
other isms.'"
The speaker. who is the sponsor
of a bill for the extension of civil
service, addressed the Business and
Professional Women's Club of the
District at its monthly dinner meet
ing at the La Fayette Hotel.
Representative Ramspeck also told
the club that under the merit sys-
tenn women get a larger share Of
jobs and equal pay for equal work. >
The merit system is more efficient
and more economical than the spoils
system, he asserted, declaring it is
natural for persons holding Office
under patronage to spend consider
able time in efforts to see that the
officials who secured their appoint
mcnts remain in Office. Further
more, he added, the merit system
makes it possible to retain expert
enced employees. though, he con-
tended, there is mo such animal"
as a lifetime job in any executive
branch of the Government.
Declaring that IS per cent of all
taxes collected are paid out in SAL
aries to persons on Federal, State
and municipal pay rolls, Represent
ative Ramspeck said that all citi-
zens should be interested in how
these jobs are filled.
The speaker also took occasion
to urge that Government employees
realize the value to members of
Congress of prompt service from the
various executive branches.
