Upsala College Gets
 Lincoln Collection
Library of Late Valentine BjOrlxnlan Now in East Orange, N. J.-LOCaI Pastor Informed of Acquisition

Dr. Evald B. Lawson, president of Upsala College, East Orange, N. J., today informed the Rev. E. Einar Kron, pastor of Zion. Evangelical Lutheran Church in this city, that Upsala has just acquired the Lin- coin Library of the late Valentine Bjorkman. Zion Lutheran church is 8 member of the New England Conference of the Lutheran church, which actively supports the work of Upsala.
 "The Lincoln Library comprises more than 1000 volumes, large collection of pictures, statuary, mementoS, clippings and other val- uable items and is I1nquestionably the most valuable collection of ma terials to be added to our library in all our history. It has gained the attention of admirers of the great Civil War president throughout the country, including Carl Sandburg, and 1t has special value for the student and historian. This collec- ton gives us a most valuable fea- .ture as an institution of learning" :"
 In the collection are 50 volumes devoted to the Civil War. An out standing feature, in Dr. Lawson's opinion, is a section entitled Books That Lincoln Read" including such school texts as Kirkman's Gram mar," Murray's English Reader" and Scott's Lessons in Elocu- tion," together with the books re- puted to have had the greatest for native effect on Lincoln's charac- ter, the Bible, "Pilgrim's Progress, "Aesop's Fables" "Robinson Crusoe'' and Weem's History of the United States"
 Other features include several original letters signed by Lincoln a large poster used in the presiden- tial campaign of 1860, an original copy of the play bill of the "Our American Cousin" performance at Ford's theater, which was presented the night that Lincoln was shot, and a collection of more than 100 portraits and statues of the Eman- cipator, including steel engravings signed by the artists.
 An interesting item, which was highly prized by MT. Bjorkman, is a copy of the official program of the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial at Washington. This bears the sig natures of many personages, in- cluding Presidents Taft, Harding Coolidge and Hoover; Robert Lin-

[ coin, the Emancipator's son; Su- preme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, Edwin Markham, poet, and Ida M. Tarbell and MT. Sandburg.
 Deemed of great research value by Dr. Lawson are four large scrap books containing clippings mostly from magazines and newspapers, some contemporaneouS with Lin- coln's career and the rest covering the period from his death to the present. In this group are also sev- eral hundred original copies of dis. courses, sermons and orations de- livered in various parts of the coun- try after Lincoln'S death. There are nearly 100 copies of the New York Times, New York Herald and the New York Tribune of April and May 1865.
 It took MT. Bjorkman, who died recently, more than 40 years to as- semble the collection, which was kept in special rooms at the Newark Athletic Club where it was viewed yearly by hundreds of Lincoln en- thusiastS. MT. Bjorkman became a lover of Lincoln at the turn of the century when, as young Scandina- vian immigrant, he mastered Eng fish and read Abraham Lincoln, A Character Sketch"
 T can think of nothing finer than Lincoln Hall" at Upsala, featuring our Lincoloniana, accessible alike to scholars and the general public" Dr Lawson said. Such a building hous- ing this valuable collection might well in time become a shrine in this part of the country; but it will na- turally take lots of time to realize that dream. Meanwhile, I hope we can set it up at least in temporary quarters. The project of finding a permanent home for the collection now faces and challenges us might ily."

r EST dressed women have long
- since proved through experience
the wisdom of investing in a new
suit at the very start-off of the au-
tumn season. In a smart suit and a
goodly supply of eye-thrilling ac-
cessories you have an investment
that will yield a hundred per cent to
the good right through until fur coat
time and then likely as not you will
be wearing your suit under your
coat on many wintry day.
The call for a new suit with ac-
cent on new becomes positively
imperative this particular fall be-
cause lines have undergone such
drastic change they make a last
year model look hopelessly passe.
The new silhouette somehow con-
trives to give the impression of be-
ing narrow and straight though as a
matter of fact it does not at all
times entirely eliminate pleats and
other devices that insure free and
easy movement. AS to jackets, they

Ladylike Fashions
Keynote for Fall

The new autumn style program
places the emphasis on dignity and
conservatism in dress. The major
ity of frocks arriving are simply
fashioned carrying their style mes
sage through an entirely new sill
houette that narrows skirts into easy
natural lines, modifes shoulders in
bodice, blouse and jackets, length
ems sleeves to below elbow or to
wrist.
The early call is for blacks and
browns and rich green's in suit or
ensembles. Hats are not freakish
and they are styled to fit snugIy
and they are tuned to the type of
hairdress you adopt.
Materials say quality at glance.
The dresses in the new collections
are designed along simple wearable
lines, glorified with fetching details
that bespeak their newness.
And when all is said and done,
you are going to be charmed with
the new order of things in that
good taste is evidenced all the way
through heightened with dramatic
touches of color in jewelry and
gloves and other accessories that
add fascination to the entire scheme
of costume design for the coming
months.

WHAT YOUNG MEN ADMIRE
IN THEIR WOMEN FRIENDS

What is it that young man wants
in young woman friend today? Or
am / not a great deal at fault in as
Stunning that it is problem of today.
1t seems to have been one of time
immemorials problems.
Part of the purpose of our existence
as men and women is to be compan-
ionable to one another. But society
has built such an intricate structure of
Principles of Behaviorism" that most
of us have forgotten-and many of
us have never learned-that being
companionable is still one of the chief
sources of fun. 1t means that we will
put a little more thought on what the
next fellow likes, and little less on
what he will do for me. After
while, you will find yourself really
enjoying it. Devoting some time and
labor to things other than self has a
very broadening effect. Interests be-
come more widespread, and you can
not help but become an interesting
and arresting individual. Please do
not misunderstood me-
1t is vitality necessary to develop
your possibilities to the fullest ex
tent that you can, and to keep your
person very well-groomed. You will
still have time to do for, and find out
interesting things about the other
fellow.
The girl who is interesting as well
as regular" is the one who has many
of the dates. Heretofore, a girl who
was a little above the average, men
tally, was Stunned by the boys. 1t is
not so much so today, because men are
almost willing to learn from such an
one. Providing a very smart girl
does not parade" her knowledge, she
can have a grand time. "Parading"
knowledge, I am inclined to believe, is
a method resorted to by those who
are not so clever and who wish to i'm
press their friends with the ability
they do not possess.
One great factor which keeps girls
from becoming interesting is the
fault of their home training, or lack of
it. Girls who have had to repress
every natural desire because for in
Vulnerable reasons the desires cannot
be expressed have much harder road
to travel, but the grade CAN be made
successfully. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary to weed out the complexes-
namely inferior. By keeping an OBJ
jective in view-the kind of person
you would like to become-and over
looking personal injuries, and over
coming temper and mean little habits,
the goal can be reached. And you will
be surprised at how many people are
truly willing to help you. Remember
to keep the objective in view-it is
vital!
Cultivate friends from among all
group ages, and see how much you
can learn from them, and try to be
able to give at least some one little
thing. Give as much as you can.
Cultivate the art of conversation.
Then you will have much to give to
the company of young men, and they,
in turn, will seek you-By N. c. B.

jacket The fastenings of gold but
tons are especially significant, in
that they confirm the report that
gold jewelry and gadgets are to re-
turn this fall and winter. There's
important news too, in the hat this
fashionably attired young lady is
wearing in that it is one of the dra-
matte profile shapes that's the lat
est, according to expert millinery adj
vice.
The suit to the left flashes impor-
tant highlights in more ways than
one. To begin with, the material
of which it is made is finely ribbed
wooden and all the fashion notes will
tell you that ribbed weaves abound
in the fabric realm this fall. Again
this model gives accent to the long
er jacket vogue. The slenderizing
narrow skirt is also made a feature
in this instance. 1t is one of the very
new side drape types. And now for
the most telling fashion stroke of all
which this mode registers-jet but
tons fasten it!
The new tweeds for fall are gor-
geous. The challenge is going to be
whether to buy an all black suit
such as the new style program pro-
claims for fall or to go in for color
full tweed with all your might. The
ideal course of action is to acquire
both, black for the more formal,
dignifed moments, and a carefree
wildly colorful plaid contrasting a
monotone skirt for nonchalant go
ing about. Make it an all-plaid suit
for that matter for the suit of plaid
looms up on fashions horizon in no
uncertain way. The practical thing
to do is to buy a plaid suit, also
a monotone skirt that picks up one of
the colors in the plaid. This will
give you welcome changes that tune
to time and event. For the model
pictured vivid plaid is selected
for the long-torso jacket, the same
topping narrow skirt done in mono
tone.

magazine articles anent wives who
presided at the breakfast table attired
IN bedraggled negligees, with curriers'

with greasy creams. So Marcia never
came to breakfast until she had DON

ana combed her hair, and she even
applied dash of gay red lipstick to
add note of glamor to her appear
ance.
Of course she didn't plan to give up
the necessary beauty rituals; particu-
larly since she had short, straight hair
that refused to curl and dry complex
ion that required special cream treat
ments. Marcia had solved her Golf
lure problem with weekly croquinoles
and she had also devised way of CIV
ing her skin its customary care with
out her husbad's knowledge.
Marcia was devoted to an olive
green mask cream that looked unat-
tractive, to say the least, on her skin.
Luckily, Bob was sound sleeper and
once he closed his eyes in slumber
they never opened until morning.
Every night as soon as Marcia was
sure Bob was asleep, she would get
out of bed and generously spread the
green mask cream over her face, wind
net about her head to protect her
wave, and jump back into bed again.
Then in the morning she would get up
a few minutes before she awakened
Bob, remove the cream from her face,
and thus Bob never knew his little
wife's radiant complexion was due not
to Mother Nature, but to Nine. Re-

the paper boys knock and arose to
answer it, AS he returned to the bed
room, Bob playfully threw the comic
section at Marcia and yelled, "Hey,
wake up, lazybones, are you going to
sleep all day."
Marcia jumped up, startled, and
said sleepily, ooh, Bob-you're up al
ready? What time is it?"
And then she cried horror-stricken
after rubbing her eye-lids, "Oh-oh!
My face! You've seen my face"
"But defnitelyw Bob answered
laughingly. "And what face! You've
turned green with envy! l recommend
cake of soap and a bowlful of hot
water as the only cure for you, Mrs.

"Disillusioned? Why should 1 be?

you really are underneath all that goo.
Besides, you don't get disillusioned
when you see my face covered with

"Why, mol" Marcia giggled. 81 think
it makes you look cute" Then she
added, "You mean you don't mind if

BEAUTY HINTS

AN ASTRINGENT FOR TIRED
FACES

After time the face grows tired.
relaXes, falls and looks old Then is
the time to double your activities and
correct faults. The thing your face
needs IS an astringent, one that is kind
to the skin. Such a one is made by
mixing one part honey with three
parts lemon juice. Beat the two in
gradients together thoroughly and
apply to the face at night after a good
cleansing. Place towel over the
pillow to protect it. Sleep with this
mixture on the face and you will be
greatly pleased with the improvement
made over night
Reducing the Abdomen

the abdomen the following is the SIM
plest and best; try it. Just take a bag
the size of baby's pillow and fill it

down on a level surface and place the
bag on your abdomen. Then inhale
and exhale slowly. Then inhale and

Favor for black has abated not a
whit. The majority of the smart
daytime frocks arriving for fall are
exquisitely simple little models in
black, either crepe or jersey or the
now-so-fashionable faille silk. These
place emphasis on sophisticated sim
plicity focusing attention on details
such as the new side-drape fasten-
ings. The gown pictured features
this new gesture in the skirt which
carries carefully controlled fullness
over to one side of the front in a
side-saddle fastening that preserves
the straight slim silhouette. Anus
ing rhinestone ornaments and a vel
vet hat of the new off-face bonnet
type are contributing touches to the
chic of this all-black ensemble.
