Embarrassing Dull,
Boresome. Saws Expert

Don't let your determination not
to be overdressed influence you toe
far In the other direction that you
turn out to be the kind Of woman
who is always underdreSsed.
Overdressing has a bad effect or
the spectators But Embarrassing
has a demoralizing effect on the
wearer herself. It's nothing short
Of embarrassing for any woman tc
find that she's the only woman In
the party who is not in evening
clothes. Having to wander around
in a day dress amid dozens of won'
en- in floor-length dinner dresses,
however simple they are, is enough
to make her want to roll up in a
quilt and hide in the closet
It's q mistake to wear fancy
gloves. a flowing veil. gobs Of jew
elry. and a corsage Of flowers al
the same time. But it's just as
much q mistake to wear nothing
except plain silk shirt, Q plain
felt hat, and sensible shoes and
gloves with severely tailored black
suit.
Some Of the accessories ought to
be unusual or at least a trifle excit.
ing. A gay corsage or q flashing
lapel jewel or huge. sparkling pin
might be added. Something ought
to be done to give an otherwise
strictly tailored conservative cos.
tune lift.
Plain, tailored hats are not meant
to be worn with plain, tailored
dresses any more than necklaces
and sparkling bracelets are meant
to be worn with dresses with rhine
stone embroidery or Of glitterins
fabric.
The chic woman doesn't overdress,
but neither does she underdress to
the point where her costumes are
just plain dull and uninteresting.

People of all ages need calcium
and few today get a sufficient
amount of it for the greatest or

The best and the cheapest source
of calcium is in dairy products.
The lower the income for food,
the greater the need for more of
dairy products is the regular every.

Fresh fluid pasteurized milk
daily in some form should be used,

road are also buried there in I'M
marked graves.
In 1851 the Tomlinson family built
a substantial stone wall around a part
of the plot and erected a monument
on which is recorded the name, age
and date of death of the various
members of the family inferred there.
1t is this wall which it appears is now
being destroyed. The plot has gone
down in history along with several
burial places of army generals, early
settlers and other notables along the
National Highway. 1t would seem too
bad if this spot, which has been pre-
served for more than a century, (the
earliest date recorded being 1920,
were to be demolished and lost sight
of. With the removal of the protect
nag wall, it is likely that such would
be the result.
Because of the interest expressed
by a number of persons in this sec
ton who have noted the conditions,
the matter has been referred to the
Garrett County Historical Society for
their attention.

Stone Wall Around
Old Cemetery Near
Grantsville Vanishing

What is happening to the stone wall
surrounding the historical Tomlinson
cemetery at Little Meadows, is a
question which has been causing con-
siderable comment among residents
of that section Viewed from either
the National Highway 40, or Sails
bury Road Route 219 the West side
of the wall appears to have been torn
away entirely.
History relates that Feb. 4, 1860,
Joseph Tomlinson, of Frederick
county, was granted 200 acres of land
by Lord Baltimore's land office. June
7, 1860, a patent for 100 acres, called
Good Will" was also issued to Tom
linson. This included General Brad
docks army camp at Little Meadows.
1t was understood that Joseph Tom
linson settled there soon afterward
and was the first permanent settler
in Garrett county, Good WHIP being
the first land grant in what is now
known as Garrett county. He built a
log home at Little Meadows, known as
the Red House Inn, which, according
to present markers, provided a stop
ping place for George Washington on
several occasions. In 1916 his son,
Jesse Tomlinson, succeeded him here
and, when the National Road was
built, erected the present Stone House
near the site of the Red House Inn.
The Tomlinson cemetery is located
on this farm where the Braddock road
entered the glade on the East. 1t

were buried there as was Joseph Tom

BY MARIE O'DEA
MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial Day, May 30th, has al
ways been holiday of peculiar inter
est to Marylanders because OF thel
divided sympathies during the -" al
Between the States" Much OF tha'
controversial heat has died away now
It's fury began to dissipate IN Vhe
very midst of the Civil War, in 1868
when Northerners learned that Che
graves of their boys were decorated
with flowers by the women OF Column
bus, Mississippi, when they went out
to honor the last resting place OF
their own sons and brothers Other
Southern women followed this gen.
erous impulse. The desire to honor
soldier dead became general all over
the country.
Immediately after the close of the
War, the Grand Army Of the Republic
took up the project as an official and
permanent duty In May, 1865, Adj
iutant General Chapman of that or
ganization suggested it to General
John A. Logan, the society's COM
mander-in-chief Early in 1868, Gen
eral Logan issued the following order
to all G. A. R. posts;
"Thc thirtieth DAY of May, 1868, is
designated for the purpose of strew-
ing with flowers or otherwise decor
ating the graves of comrades who
died in defense Of their country dur
ing the rebellion. 1t is the purpose
of the ommandcr-in-chief to inaug-
uratc this observance with the hope
that it will be kept up from year to
wear while a survivor of the war re-
mains to honor the memory of his
departed comrades
Marylanders joined in that first OBJ
scrvanca, in 1868. The principal event
took place in Baltimore when about
5000 persons gathered at Loudon
Park Cemetery to decorate the graves
Of Union soldiers. A G. A. R. fife and
drum corps and choir led the process
sion of veteran posts, children from
the Union Orphan Asylum, the rel
ativcs and friends of the soldiers and,
last but not least, twenty veterans
from the Soldiers Home. Prayers,
hymns and oratory comprised the
ceremonies and there were few dry
eyes in the crowd when the little tots,
bereaved by the War, raised their
voices in a memorial song to their
fathers lying at their feet.
New York, in 1878, was the first
State to declare May Both legal
holiday. Others followed her lead.
Maryland's official act came in 1890
when DR.. Williams, a former Confed-
crate soldier and then a member of
the Legislature from Anne Arundel
County, advocated the bills passage.
AS result on May 30, 1890, all pub
lie business houses, banks, municipal
offices, custom-houses, courts,
and most private businesses
closed for the day. That released a
vast throng to attend the exercises
and there were not sufficient horse
cars to accommodate the people. All

Sons of Union Veterans and the
Daughters Of Union Veterans in the
ceremonies.
On every flag staff in the country,
official or unofficial, the national
emblem is displayed at half-staff
until noon in all Army posts and sta
tions, all Naval stations and from all
commissioned ships in the Navy.
Into the Chesapeake, a Navy ship
usually drops floral anchor to honor
the sailor dead. Little floral boats are
launched on all American waters.
AS the late Chauncey NJ Depew
once said, Memorial Day will be
celebrated as long as gratitude exists
and flowers bloom" 1t will exist, too,
as long as there are wars.
