people visiting the graves. Mountain
View cemetery never looked more
beautiful than on this day. The sky

mountains capped with .snow, while
on every hand were prettily decorated
graves. Flowers of all snades wer
used to beautify the cemetery. Until
darjj there were hundreds of people
viewing the graves. Mr. Brandt, the

are deserving- of much credit for the
beautiful' appearance of the cemetery.

the Willamette hall when guests were
members of Meade Post Nr. 2, G- A. R.
. an, their wives, members of the Re

Oswego boys will come over and see
what they can do when it comes to

And in silent meditation
We may fittingly pay tribute
To those who willingly
Offered their lives
To sustain a great principle.
From time immemorial
The way to better things

Has been freely sprinkled

Witn the blood of martyrs
Willing to make the
Supreme sacrifice.
For a cause believed right.
While we stand beside

Offering a silent prayer
To the Supreme Ruler
Of the universe
That the sacrifice of those
Who fell upon th6 blood stained
Battle fields.
May not have been in vain,
And that some day
The curtain may be drawn aside
And we may both see and know
The divine plan.
In the meantime,
There remains a duty
To the living
More urgent,
Than the placing of flowers
On the sod that covers
The lifeless clay.
Let the flowers express
Our love for those gone before.
And may their sweet incense
Wafted heavenward,
Spur us on to render
Full justice to those
Younger veterans,

JN BUSINESS
THE ARCHITECT II.
Nearly every college offers a three
or four year course in architecture.
The best is none too good .as the de
mands upon this profession are great.
After finishinjgi the course in school,
the girl architect should work under
the direction of a skilled architect
in a prosperous office. Where her dif
ficulties will begin, for she will find
it difficult to get into such a place un
less she has a "pull" or can show
herself to be very useful. She will be
gin as a draughtsman, drawing plans
devised by another, at a weekly wage
of $10. Unless she is made of the right
stuff she will stick here and never get
any higher, only receiving a higher
wage reaching perhaps to ?25 Or $30 a
week. The problem will be to so per
fect herself in all phases of the work
as to become a real architect.
When she understands a .1 the yis
and outs of the business very
thoroughly, she may open her own of j
fice, but several things should be as
sured before she risks that. She must
have funds to back her for several
years while she is testing her ability
and getting her start; she must have
a large, circle of friends who want to
build and will trust her to work for
them ; and sh must be able to "deliver
the goods" when she has a chance. If
she does this, her reputation will grew
and she will get more and more work,
being recommended by pleased pa
trons.
Her incom6 depends entirely upon
many circumstances, but it is apt to
be pitifully small for several years.
Even after one is well established and
has had a number of good years, the
building trades are liable to fall into
a slump.
If women wil qualify as thorough
ly as men there is no reason wh7
they cannot succeed almost as well.
They cannot hope to equal the suc
cess of men in this profession until
women have really entered the busi
ness world on a par with men.

entertain me while I was waiting. He
began by showing me an jnusual set
ting of some diamonds, and then when
I confided that diamonds- didn't hold
any particular lure for me, but that I
certainly was keen about pearls, he
took some wonderful necklaces out to
show me, and we grew quite chatty
about present values of precious
stones. I asked questions just to be
sociable an appreciative, and he told
me how this was the time for me to
get bargains in platinum setting if I
were interested in them. THEN the
crystal was ready; "Fifty cents," he
said smilingly, evidently thinking
fifty cents mis something to jest
about. And I had to say, "Oh, I'm so
sorry; I have only 46 cents in my
whole pocketbook." He assurred ma
that a nickel didn't matter ano
wouldn't take my last subway ticket
to make up the diference. But I WAS
embarrassed, as I gave a glance a
all, those pearls and emeralds, he hart
been telling me all about.
The principal of good advertising is
clearly understood by one suburban
dweller looking for a housemaid. As
sets to the place were not overlooked
when she inserted the following ad:
GENERAL Housework Young maid
wanted. Small family. Attractive police
force and moving picture show.
The return of Mrs. Leslie Garter!
That sounds like a real event. It
is assuredly an unexpected one. The
retirement to private life, and seclud
ed one has been generally accepted as
permanent on the part of this vivid
emotional player of "Zaza" and "Du
Barry." And yet she is no older in
years than many actresses who have
stuck tight to the boards. The Sel
wyns have just announced that they
are bringing her back to act with John
Drew in Somerset Maugham's new
play, "The Circle," which is now on in
London. In spite of it's name, the
story is a new treatment of the eter
nal triangle. ' The combination ot
Leslie Garter, John Drew, and Maug
ham, ought to make one of the sensa
tional openings of the coining season.
Grown-ups may find satisfaction in
courts, of law or even fisticuffs. But
children just naturally turn to song to
will flare into all the gaiety that the
day has preserved.
