Imagination
Mr.. Snowman says in the
introduction to his book that
Carl Faberge and his younger
brother Agathon "decreed
that in the matter of
objects of Dirtu and jewels
generally. the emphasis pre-
viously placed on sheer value
should be shifted. without
compromise. on to craftsman
ship. In other words, the
sincerity of a gift was to be
measured rather by the
amount of imagination
shown than by a noisy DEM
onstration of wealth."
A book dealing just with
the private collection to be
shown by the Corcoran is
now in the works and gallery
officials expect, or at least
hope, its publication will
coincide with the exhibition.
The show is to run from

Of Easter Eggs and Other
Precious Objects by the cele-
brated Russian artisan, as a
stellar event for its coming
season.
The gallery's schedule of
activities for 1960-61 was re-
vealed last week. Appropri-
ately the Faberge show will
be held during the Easter
season.
This exhibition should be
just as much a treat for those
already acquainted with Fa-
berge. since the pieces to be
included are from a private
collection never before shown
to the public.
The collector anonymous
at his request) is an old
friend of the gallery. He has
been searching out Faberge
bibelotS for a number of
years and now, counts among
his treasures one of the priced
Imperial" Easter Eggs. an
assortment Of the charming
carved-stone animals, an ex-
ample of Faberge's jeweled
flowers and a miniscule sedan
chair of enamel and gold,
perhaps once the toy of an
Imperial child.
Imperial" Eggs
Faberge's Imperial" Eggs,
his most famous works, are
a series of egg-shaped fan
tastes in precious metals,
stones and enamel, created
by the jeweler as Easter gifts
from the TSar to the Tsar-
ina and to the Dowager EN-
press. Each featured some
delightful surprise.
According to Mr.. A. Ken
meth Snowman, in his book
THE Art of Carl Faberge,"
1t is believed the annual pre-
sentation of eggs began in
1884, when Alexander III was
Tsar and Marie Feodorovna
tborn Princess Dagmar of
Denmark was Empress.

enamel on gold, containing
a yellow gold yolk, containing
a golden hen, containing a
diamond replica of the I'm
perial Crown, within which
hung a tiny ruby pendant

and the Tsarina. it set a
practice which continued till
the overthrow of the Ro-
manov dynasty.
Every year until his death
Alexander gave Marie Feo-
-dorovna a surprise egg for
Easter.
- When Nicholas II acceded
to the throne in 1894 he ex.
banded on the custom, Civ
ing a Faberge egg both to his
wife, Alexandra Feodorovna,
and to the DoWager Empress
Marie Feodorovna.
The Imperial Eggs num-
bered 81 in all, and Faberge
also made some very beau
-tiful ones for Prince and
Princess Youssoupoff and for
two other wealthy clients.
. The egg which visitors to
the Corcoran will see next
spring is the "Chanticleer
Egg" believed to have been
presented to Marie Feodorov-
ma by Nicholas II in 1903.

By JOHN ROSSON
TEEN Editor

In the next six weeks Washington area high
schools will hand diplomas to some 1920 gradu-
ating Seniors-the Glasses of 1960
Faced all of a sudden by what pundits like
to label the "cod cruel world, what is the state
of job possibilities facing this years high school
grads? Which of the many fields will offer them
the greatest opportunities in terms of money and
openings?
Talking about career jobS-and not tempo
rary summer jobs-the United States Department
of Labor says the only grads in this years crop
who'll find the world chilly when they pick their
professions are the ones who want to farm.
Cattle, hogs and eggs are still best Sellers"
an employment expert says, "but we now have
too many farmers producing too many herds, too
many hogs and too many eggs"
Otherwise, the 1860 graduates apparently
have it made
"Name it," one official says, land in most
cases the field will have openings galore" He
adds however, that the matter of pay is bit less
encouraging, land the guy that will get that too,
will be the better trained student who took the
trouble to specialize"
OF the 16 200 area students now taking finals
and buying their class rings in preparation for
June commencementS, something like 60 per cent
or 9,5OO-will go to college. The remaining 40
per cent will step into permanent, full-time jobs
or get married and become homemakerS
For those headed for college, the Department
of Labor says the future is, and will continue for
some years. to be brightest for those who this year
choose the scientific occupations (eectronicS,
nuclear energy, medical research and space ex-
ploration); engineering (all types), the profes-
SionS (physcians dentists, nurses), and techni-
clans, the young people with scientific interests
and mathematical aptitudes who want to work
with the highly skilled scientists
"AS in the immediate past" the department
explains, "new scientific discoveries are expected
to broaden chronological horizons in nearly all
activities, resulting in an increased demand for
scientists in industry, in Government in colleges
and universities and in other areas of employ
ment. -.

thinks she has to have it up

one else has any hot water.
Please put this in the paper.
She won't listen to me. She
is IL.

If your daughter at IL
wont listen" to you on such
a matter, prepare yourself
for some major disappOint-
mentS. Children should be
taught that sharing" with
members of the family is ex-

doesn't learn this soon, she'll
probably be in hot water up

DEAR ABBY: My wife and
I have been married for 81
years. While she was away
visiting relatives for two
weeks, I found a picture Of a
strange fellow hidden under
the paper lining of a drawer.
I became very upset and an
cry and wrote her a letter
Il included this picture) and
I told her she needn't bother
to come home. I figured she
would not have this picture
hidden unless she was hiding
something else. She called
me up when she got my let
ter and said this fellow had
been dead for years and that
I had a lot of nerve accusing
her of ong-doing. Who is
right?
ANGRY HUSBAND.
You had no right to sus-
pect the worst and accuse
her of wrong doing before
hearing her explanation.
And to tell her "she needn't
bother TO come home" was
about as fair as a judge sem
fencing a defendant without
hearing the case.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Want to Quit Smoking? Really?
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Writes Mrs. H. of Mary
land: Can you cite the
experiences of patients who
broke successfully the smok-
ing habit? How long was 1t
before they were able to live
normal lives again? Did they
regain their sense of alert
ness and confidence?
There must be many, like
myself, who sincerely want
to give up smoking, but feel
that the period of adjust
ment may last so long as to
damage their lives; even
more than the smoking habit
damages their bodies.
I've been able to abstain
from smoking for several
hours while my hands were
occupied otherwise. If I
foresaw the shakes I'd play
the piano or drink some
water or say a prayer or
concentrate on something
unimportant-or take a nap.
The minute l attempted to
do something urgent which
required mental taxation, I
would find myself helpless
without the weed. Rather
hopeless, eh?"
l CAN CITE you dozens
of patientS-heavy smokers
for Is years and longer-who
gave up smoking. How did
they do it? They just
stopped. All at once. Just
like that.
Did they become alert? Of
course they did. Even more
SO.
Their secret? The WILL
to stop. And not being con-
cerned about whether the
adjustment period" you
mention would be harmful
(which it isn't).
That's all there is to it,
Mrs. H. You want help. All
you need is real desire to stop
smoking. In your case, I
doubt that you really want
to stop. Of I'm wrong,
write me when you have
overcome the habit
Heavy smokers are like
people who need to lose
weight. Instead of always
being on the lookout for a
special diet" to make it
easy, they'd like a special
trick which will make them
give up tobacco. There Just
isn't any-in either instance.
For example, I have just
received some advance ma
terial on the smoking habit
that will appear in one of
our leading national maga-
