DAVIS George Washington nd Abra ham Lincoln would have been rather startled at the program presented this week at the Brooklyn Woman's Club, but no doubt at the same time they would have been pleased. The program cleverly combined the eighteenth, nineteenth and tven tieth centuries in an interesting fashion.

Opening the program was Miss Anne Zaharko, coloratura soprano, accompanied by Her bert Stavely Sammond. She chose delightful songs of Wash ington's era. The serious part of the afternoon was a talk given by ('apt. William E. Haskell of the New York.

Herald Tribune. Even in this we could visualize the heads of Washington and Lincoln nodding their approval for Captain Haskells subject was "Permanent Peace" which was just as dear and near to the hearts of those famous Presi dents as it is to us in the twen Uaih century. The colorful part of the pro gram, which actually was a Washington and Lincoln birth day party was the presentation of Mrs. George Washington and Mrs. Alexander Hamilton as out standing ladies of the eighteenth century, and Mrs.

Abraham Lin coln and Mrs. William H. Seward for the nineteenth century. Colorful Costumes Mrs. Washington was repre sented by Mrs.

Robert F. Ives, who wore a brocaded gray satin gown, copied from an original Martha Washington dress. With this she wore an Irish lace bertha, black lace gloves and a black feathered fan and pearls for accessories. Mrs. Oliver Gold- mith Carter represented Mrs.

Hamilton and wore a pink satin dress with a white silk embroid ered shaWl, diamond and pearl jewelry and a perky little blue hat on her white wig. She carried a tiny parasol. Mrs. H. S.

Rasi as Mrs. Lincoln, wore a crimson velvet and taffeta frock, fashioned with a tremendous bustle back. The gown, which had belonged to Mrs. Lowell J. Whitford mother, was trimmed with lace at the throat and the sleeves.

Mrs. Rasi wore a garland of flowers shading from crimson to a soft purple shade in her hair. She Jso wore gold jewelry, white lace gloves and carried a white lace handbag. Mrs. Frank E.

Simmons por trayed Mrs. William H. Seward. Her costume consisted of black taffeta dress 'and a black lace mantilla. The black was set off with periwinkle bows at the neck and sleeves.

On her lace collar she wore an antique brooch and carried a black vel vet handbag over 50 years old, which had a steel cut beaded de sign on it.

I don mean friendly, occasional borrowing, but day- after-day rowing of items that every housewife should keep on I hand at all times. I live In a four family apartment building a type of rental property common in our city. All four families have lived in this building for Mary Haworth several years and we've never had trouble among ourselves. However, one of the wives is a borrower.

Of course we all borrow occasionally, when acci dentally caught short; but Mrs. B. runs borrowing into the ground. For example, if she makes bean soup, she borrows beans. She borrows floor wax at housecleaning time; and borrows dress-up clothes when she takes her children out.

It isn't that she can't afford to buy what she needs. Her husband makes more money, than any of the neighbors. Yet a day doesn't pass that she doesn't borrow something from me. Repay Slowly Sooner or later she pays back almost everything, but usually not until I've already had to replace what I lent, out of sheer necessity. I've never mentioned this to her, as we live so close I startling greeting for St Valen- tine's Day: I Hey, Yal! Though my looks are kinda comic At lovin', guy I'm sure ATOMIC.

The direct approach is the modern manner and, according to the greeting card industry, pirls aren't coy any more. Women like humor and whimsy, they report, but gentlemen are tuier-sentimentalists. Stores report a profusion of elaborate valentines for the male admirer. There are red satin hearts, some filled with sachet. Pnd even plastic hearts inscribed Sweetheart" and "Wife." -Oiher innovations include tricky interiors with mirrors, figures that move when the card Is opened and valentine cards with fluorescent hearts that glow In the dark.

Intriguing is the jigsaw puz-fcle valentine. The pieces are sent in a cotton bag and the recipient puts the puzzle together. Even the housing shortage Rets recognition: "I'll be happy In a I'll be happy in a tent. says a girl "To My Val entine Hubby." Love 6n a park bench also is another popular trend. Rich Tradition i The richest tradition sur rounds St.

Valentine's Day. Ac cording to Dr. Claudia de Lys, anthropologist and folklorist villagers of early England claimed that birds chose their mates on that day. Consequently, they believed, couples brought together on St. Valentine's Day were destined to marry, "The Romans, too, observed that the birds began to mate on or about Feb.

14," pointed out Dr. de Lys. "To them, such manifestations of nature were regarded as omens from the cods. The Romans held the past of Lupercalia on that date, dedicated to Pan and Juno. "During the festival Roman maidens placed their names in a box from which they were drawn by unattached men about town.

These billets may be called the first valentines." Traditional valentines of real lace are In the stores this year for the first time since shortage ff certain materials affected the greeting card industry. However, nothing stands in the way this vear in the matter of production and it is estimated that 000 valentines will have taken a sentimental journey by Friday. One thing seems certain; humor will play a large part in love-making via the valentine 1 this year. One example of a jocve By HELEN BROWS Society Editor Mrs. Joseph Mead of Wacca-huc, N.

VICTORIAN SENTIMENT Above are two intricate valentines of the Victorian era (1880). Both are single sheets, the one on the left an embossed silvered design, the other a coarse lace paper trimmed with gilt. Both have heavy clusters of flowers pasted on by hand for further decoration made of hard, shiny paper, highly colored. These are from the Norcross collection on exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York, which embraces over two centuries of valentines.

Instead, you hurt yourself and then harass your husband about it by weakly submitting to exploitation when in truth you're outraged by It. You attribute your tolerance to tender conscience, which isn't so, in my opinion. Rather I think you're buffaloed by Mrs. B. simply because husband makes more money "than any of the neighbors a fact which gives her a slight edge of superiority in her own estimation as well as yours, I daresay.

Thus when she condescends to use you as a convenience, you haven't the courtage to defend yourself though inwardly smarting at the implications her performance and your own subservience to it. In other words, you've been putty in her hands owing to moral cowardice, insufficient self-respect and a feeling of need to ingratiate yourself with her which isn't admirable at all, And it's this complex you've got to change, within yourself, in order to get her out of your hair.

Loan Loses Friend DEAR H.D. As for borrowing, you know what Shakespeare said in the words of wise Po-lonius to his son, Laertes: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be; for loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry." Husbandry means frugal, fore-sighted management of household affairs, and on this score another wise man, Benjamin Franklin, said: "The true source of riches is husbandry." W'ith these sentiments I agree, and further add: Habitual bor rowing is a form of sponging, little better than begging as a character trait. Indeed, the professional beggar and the chronic borrower are much alike in their "gimme" theory that provident folk exist to take care of thrift' less people. Mrs. B's mania for borrowing Mis!
