LIGHTS TO PUT . TRUE LINES IN FACE Memorial Statue’s Grotesqueness Is Blamed on Floor Reflection. BY RAY TUCKER WASHINGTON, July 14.—Abraham Lincoln has been unfortunate in the memorials with which the Federal Government has sought to perpetuate his memory. Despite the grandeur of Lincoln Memorial on the bank of the Potomac here, Henry Bacon’s statue of the emancipator, which the monument houses, has for years conveyed an erroneous representation of Lincoln’s face. Many tourists have gone away from this shrine puzzled and depressed by the impression the colossal figure has made upon them, but unable to explain their disappointment. It was the lighting system. Gave Grotesque Cast So strong was the reflection from the floor and lagoon outside that on bright days it gave a grotesque cast to Lincoln’s face. An aspect of horror and weakness appeared on features which the sculptor meant to be benign and firm. A complete overhauling of the lighting arrangements has been made, and will be put into effect within a few weeks. Translucent slabs of marble that let in too much light through the roof have been replaced, and a floodlight system has been installed on the upper walls of the monument. Big Improvement These changes literally throw more light on Lincoln. They bring into distinct relief the lines of strength and sorrow. The effect of drooping mouth and eyelids, as well as the soft wrinkles encircling the eyes, is dissipated. Tourists now will recognize the Lincoln of history. The capital’s other statute of Lincoln—that by Lott Flannery in front of the District Supreme Court building—caused a storm of criticism when it was unveiled some years ago. It was attacked as a caricature that made Lincoln homely and gaunt beyond reality. But Washington seems to have become used to it, and like Lincoln’s homeliness, it grows on the beholder after a while, HOPS OFF FOR PERSIA Bu United Press KARACHI, British India, July 14. —Van Lear Black, publisher of the Baltimore Sun, departed in his Fokker air yacht at 6:40 a. m. today for Bunder-Abbas, Persia.

The Characters HELEN, an ancient lady with modern ideas. MENELAOS. her husband while she stayed at home. . ' HERMIONE. her daughter and severest critic. . , ORESTES, her nephew—young enough to be a reformer: old enough to have ambitions. ETEONEUS, gate-keeper by calling; philosopher by Instinct: moralist by observation. ADRASTE, handmaiden and friend to Helen; scandal to most everybody else. CHARITAS, the lady next door. DAMASTOR. a boy who strayed from the family doorstep. There was one thing about Helen which her contemporaries appreciated but which posterity has apparently lost sight of. She was a most stable character; nothing of fickleness was in her. Once she set her mind on a thing—or on a person, for that matter —there was no gainsaying her. For example, she wanted Hermione to inspect Pyrrhus before committing herself to Orestes. Hermione was rebellious... But go on with the story. CHAPTER I “If you insist on knowing my reasons,” said Hermione, “they are three, as nearly as I can take an inventory at short notice. In the first place, I don’t love him. In the second place, Ido love Orestes. In the third place, Pyrrhus is a good deal of a brute, from all I have heard, and the strong-handed sort of husband doesn’t appeal to me. “Let Pyrrhus come; I will look at him, as you wish, and then he can go home. All this talk makes me care less for him every day.” “If my object were merely to arrange a marriage between you and Pyrrhus,” said Helen, “I certainly would not talk so much about it. But it is your education I have set my heart on, even more than your marriage. “We of the elder generation have a point of view, you know. It comes from having brought children into the world. We wish to give them a better life than we had. The Only way is to put our experience at their disposal. “But nothing annoys the young so much. Now I don’t pretend to know everything about love, but I know a great deal more than you do, and your three reasons for not considering Pyrrhus seem to me absurd.” “They don’t seem absurd to me,” said Hermione, “and I’m the one who has to decide.” “You are,” said Helen, “and I want you to decide with your eyes open, without deceiving yourself. I’m not asking you to lose your heart to Pyrrhus, I’m giving you fair warning that though you haven’t seen him, and though you are now, as you think, in love with another man, you may wish you belonged to Pyrrhus, body and soul, twenty-four hours after you have met him.” “If you mean that Orestes isn’t so remarkable a person as Pyrrhus,” said Hermione, “I am willing to accept your opinion. That is, r*don’t agree with it, but I don’t mind your I thinking so. You may be quite right.

But that is no reason why I should hesitate a moment when my heart is committed once for all. I believe there is a destined mate for each one of us, if we are only lucky enough to find each other.” “You feel that Orestes and you,” said Helen, "were fashioned and preserved for each other, the product and climax of happy stars? I know the feeling well. I’ve had it several times, for different men.” “You don’t believe in people being spiritual mates?” “They may become so in time,” said Helen, “but it takes a great deal of adjustment, so much so that rather than be pessimistic about the accuracy of heavenly patterns, I’d rather say there are no predestined couples, no separated parts which brought together make a harmonious whole.

“You can’t believe that spiritual mate nonsense, my daughter, after the experience of having two cr more sincere men in love with you at once. Both think you are their fate, and when you choose one, the other will never be convinced that you knew what your fate was. Very probably you didn’t.” "Mother, you talk as though nothing were stable in this world,” said Hermione. “I can’t agree; it seems impious. I prefer to be loyal!” “Nothing is stable in this world, Hermione, unless we ourselves are so,” said Helen. “Loyalty is an achievement in our character—you don’t find it growing around you like a plant, or hitting you like lightning. There's a world of difference between loyalty and love.

“Lovers are often loyal, from youth to old age, and their constancy is all the more admired lor not being natural. When once you marry, love may leave you, but the problem of loyalty never will. I want you to choose the man to whom it will be easiest in the long run for you to be loyal. “You say you are in love with Orestes now. I warn you that you may be quite as much in love later with someone else. You would tell me, I m sure, that the second love can be resisted and should be. I agree that it can be—and so can the first.” “Well, if you feel this way about love,” said Hermione, “I can see why you didn’t stay with my father. You could very well have resisted your love for Paris; you could have set me an example of loyalty. lam confused# I must confess, between what you have done and what you advise.” “Dear child,” said Helen, there’s no connection between them!” ‘ That’s what I thought,” said Herntone. “No, indeed? said Helen. “I

should never in the world advise you to do what I’ve done. It would be useless. You couldn’t do it. And even if you could, you haven't my reasons for it.” “I fear I can’t imagine any reason which would justify your going off with Paris,” said Hermione. “I had no intention of justifying my life, Hermione, but your question made me think of the reasons for my actions, whether they are justified or not. “Let me advise you not to justify your life after it is lived; at that stage it will speak for itself. I discuss your life so much because it is still in the futurq; what you have once done, however, I shall say nothing about.” “I meant no discourtesy,” said Hermione, “and I do see why you are different from other people. You are so beautiful that ordinary rules seem not to apply.” “They didn’t apply,” said Helen, “but they ought to have done so, and I wanted them to. That is the whole trouble. No one has the right to shut us out from any part of life, not even the hard things, from the sorrows and sufferings. “They always said I was beautiful, but the only effect I could notice was that they treated me as if I weren’t a human being. “My whole life has been an attempt to pat myself back among other people, to make sure I wasn't missing anything. If I did wrong when I was a child, I wasn’t punished. Asa young girl, foolish and inexperienced, my mistakes never brought me to harm. “In marriage at least I expected to find reality; living with a man, I thought, would bring home to me the mortal drama in which we are supposed to be playing our parts. But I was more sheltered than ever —practically Immune to life. I gave myself to Paris because I loved him. but somewhere in my thoughts was the hope that our love would actually be the great tragedy It seemed to promise, and that in the end I should suffer and feel.

“Your father will never know what was in my mind as I saw the anger go out of his face, and that sheltering look come back into it. It isn’t exactly that he has forgiven me, but I am not counted in the same world with other people— ! I’m a sort of wraith. “Hermione, the reason I have such a desire for life, the reason I want you to love life early, is that I have never lived. But in my search for the real things, I’ve learned to grasp at strict honesty with myself and complete frankness about myself with other people; it’s my only hope. “For all of us, I’m sure, insincerity becomes a screen between life and our souls, but it would be particularly dangerous for me.” “I doubt if I am so beautiful,” said Hermione. “that I need follow your methods in order to make the acquaintance of sorrow. That’s what you intimate. I suppose. But what has this to do with my choice of a husband?” (To Be Continued) (Copyright. 1925. by the Bobbs-Merrlll Co.>
