J lid- West Girls "yiest in Business, Woman Claims Mrs. Elizabeth Sears Asserts Feminine Traditions Still Exist in EasU“The New York business man prefers the woman of the middle west ns a business associate and employe,”' said Mrs. Elisabeth Sears of New York, who is organizer for the national federation of business women's clubs, today. "It is because the women of the middle west back up their ideas and the ideas of their employers with action,” she continued. "Eastern women are good business women, but they are tradition bound. The old puritanical ideas and consenratlsm of their ancestors tinge character to a certain extent. women are not shackled with guch chains of ancestry, it seems, and consequently a greater freedom of action characterizes our western femininity.” Mrs. Sears praised the business women’s organizations of^Tndtanapolis. “But strong local clubs can not fulfill ■heir true mission unless they are part >f a great national movement,” she said. “It is similar to a broken strand of beals. The detached beads are each one beautiful, but they are useless unless linked together with a strong common cord.” Mrs. Sears will talk before many Inliana clubs before she leaves the state. She addressed the Business Girls’ club it Franklin last night. She will speak in Anderson tonight, Elkhart tomorrow sight and will return to Indianapolis on Thursday, when she expects to address he Woman's Department club. League Women Preparing For Reorganization Plans Being Made to Change Name of Body to That of Voters League. The Indianapolis Franchise league is to be one of the first organizations in the state to take up the work of reorganizing into a League of Women Voters, in accordance with the plans laid down i by the Chicago convention of the National Woman's Suffrage association. Final reorganization will not be competed until after the action of the convention of the state league, early in April, but preliminary discussion, and plans will be made by the Indianapolis branch at its monthly open meeting March 19, when Mrs. Richard Edwards of Peru, Indiana representative in the executive committee of the new organization, will come to Indianapolis to present the wo.lt. It Is planned that all the club women of the city shall be invited to take part in the reorganization which will launch the League of Women Voters. Many women who were not interested in the fight to secure suffrage, will, it is felt, lie interested in both the educational and the legislative features of this new organization. • *

A FLOCK OF DEARS IN (< OH, MY DEAR” Laßene Is Shock Proof — Funmakers at Lyric—Breamer at Ohio

i A mountain album. ; That’s wlmt “Howdy, Folks” is. / Out of this album steps some real 1 folks who speaks mountain talk and dress I in homespun garments i And out of the same album steps some | folks who are not so real. The parson. Azalea, Dick Babb. Pa Mcßirney and Ma, Ruck Babb, Mandy j Coulter and her "Paw,” Daisy Kitchell and others o' ‘he mountain flock stepped i out of this im ::ntain album for the first time at English’s last, nightAnd the play was born last night under ! the name of “Howdy. Folks,’’ although | our first understanding is thut it was | christened “Thunder.” THEATERS TODAY ENGLISH’S—John Golden presents “Howdy Folks,” at 8:16. JU RAT—Juliette Day in "Oh, My Dear,” at 8:15. B. F. KEITH’S —Metropolitan vaudeville at 2:13 and 8:15. LYRIC —Vaudeville, continuous from 1 until Jl. RlALTO—Vaudeville v and pictures, continuous. BROADWAY —Vaudeville and pictures, continuous. PARK —Musical extravaganza at 2:15 and 8:15. Fearl Franklin wrote it. Taken from the Azalea stories by Ella Peattie and made possible for the stage by John I Golden. Just as Golden created Llghtin’ Bill in j ‘‘Lightin’,’’ so he has given us two chur--1 acters. at least, in "Howdy, Folks," who ! are good to meet. | They are: The preach *, played by Alpboux Kthier, and Mandy Coulter, a mountain gal, quaint, sincere, awkward, honest and real, played by Leila Bennett. Mandy is not the "main” girl of the play, but the truthful acting of Miss Bennett will make Mandy live Just as Lightnin’ Bill Jones is livin’ today in j New York. j The story: Ma and Ta Mcßirney live < in a cabin up in the mountains of North | Carolina. They don’t dress modern, as I they live close to nature. Ma and pa j have neighbors in Buck and Dick Babb. | Sam Dlsbrow ami his old man, Mrs. 1 Kitchell, Jeff Coulter and daughter | Mandy. The Babbs and the Coulters • have a feud of long standing. They are all primitive and when they hate they l ate. A mountain preacher firings Azalea, a little body from a c'reus waydown in one of the towns. The parson thinks that the Lord tells to make Azalea happy, although he has'to lie a wee bit. He does and pretends that Alazea is the heiress to Simeon Pace’s fortune, a miser who died with his coin hidden in his cabin. While the Coulter-Babb feud is on and the money is lteing sought, the parson fights and orays <v well that Mandy Coulter marries Dick Babb anil t!)■• feud is broken. Azalea decides to settle down with Sain DUbrow. The final scene is a wc-ddin’ ai. which Dick Babb marries Mam y. The curtain drops on real contentment In I the mountains. j Alphonz Kfnier is powerful in his dramatic climaxes and as he gets deeper into the character he will smooth out the rough spots. Marion' - Swayne makes a good looking | Azalea, but she hasn't as yet caught the spirit of the mountains. Marion Kerby, bless her soul, makes Mrs. Kitchell a 'comedy delight, along with Horace Jon“s ! as Buck Babb, who wooes and wins Widow Kitchell by being musical. Chester Morris, at the present time, causes Sam Disbrbw to become modem too quickly. Marie Day ns Mae Mcßirney and llarry Wlllard as Pa fit well into the picture. | ! h<> other characters do not entirely damage the mountain picture. But the acting honors go to Leila Beni nett as the nvkward mountain Mandy. Benjamin Kauser ns Mnndy's lover also j docs real honest character work.

The third a< t beeames too “modern,” but the ntmosjihore returns In the fourth net. The play is well mounted. “Howdy, Folks’ is a mountain album rich v. ith some real people. Other parts of the play are very weak. Some changes must be made. Remains nl English’s nil week. Then goes direct to Chicago for a run. -!- -1- -l----“OH. MY DEAR.” Some persons sing their way to your heart. , Others dance their way into your affections. But occasionally you’ll find one who both sings and dances without being the most remarkable singer or the most remarkable dancer lu> the world, yet is captivating to a remarkable degree. And into this class falls Miss Juliette Day, the star, if such there be, of “Oh, My Dear” at the Murat all this week. Miss Day has personality. Her songs have personality. Her dances have personality. She plays her way Into your heart. Last night was Shriners’ night, *0 it goes without Saying that a “good time was had by all.” The Shriners always have some extra stunts at these theater parties of theirs. This time their ingenuity was devoted more to dressing up the theater than to providing extra amusement. That was lefb—and advisedly—to the "Oh, My Dear" company. Gaily colored balloons were everywhere. Bobbing up and down on the ends of long paper strings that shimmered and glistened in the light, adding unusual brilliance to the scene. But the play’s the thing. All about a fashionable, health farm, run by a much-married doctor, where guests drop in from the sky and others come for treatment for those ills that beset certain strata* of society before the eighteenth amendment was tacked on to the constitution. Not a heavy plot. But enough to carry the gongs and dances and other specialties for which the Princess theater attractions are Justly famous. Miss Day has a capable company In her support—notably Mis* Evelyn MacVey, who knows all there is to know’ about dancing; Douglas Stevenson, who has been here in the past with several musical comedy successes; Hal Forde, a patient at the health farm, who has passed the “pink elephant” stage; Ernest Cossart and Miss Suzanne Jackson, as the good doctor and his wife. Miss' Day has one song—“ Phoebe Snow’’ —alone worth a visit to the Murat, while Mr. Forde’s “It Makes a Fellow Stop to Think” also adds to the general merriment. “Ob, My Dear” stays at the Murat all week, and will play to another lodge ( parfv, the Elks, Wednesday night. It’s pleasant diversion. -I* 'l' -I* KEITH’S. They are even Jazzing the classical “Spring Song” nowadays. It is being done by Sheila Terry In “Three's a Crowd” at Keith’s this week. Miss Terry Is a graceful dancer. She is assisted by Gattison Jones and Harry Peterson. A clever turn. Lew Dockstader speaks feelingly of the late John Barleycorn and other things. One big hit, he is.

Confessions of a Bride The airmen *wep{ the sea with their glasses, the wireless flashed from ship to ship and up and down the coasts of two continents, but not a word of news concerning the We Could Not linoclne missing “lone” u Life in Which baddy came to oomLorimer Had No l’urt. fort us. Bob took command of the search for his father. By a special wire to our rooms in the hotel, he acquired, in short order, information from every boat which had been within "■OO mile* of the Lorinier yacht the day of the big storm. Several ships had observed the ’Tone - ’ speeding northward at a fast clip before darkness covered the earth that day. Thus her location was known with exactness, but not a single ship had observed as much as a lifepreserver marked "lone” after the hurricane had passed. “There's only one chance.” said Jim. Jr., when he Joined us at the end of a week. “It's possible that some coastwise freighter may have picked up the survivors and then became disabled itself. Or maybe managed to lose Itself outside the lanes of ocean travel. Boat* do, you know, get lost, sometimes, if disabled.” We welcomed Jim’s optimism snd we assured each other, over and over, that there was still hope. And we ■>* ere all *0 glad that we had Jim, Jr„ with us for that melancholy trip back home. None of us would admit that the worst ha<k happened to the yacht. It was Impossible for any of us to believe that we would never see dear Daddy Lorimer again. One could Imagine dying oneself, or one could consider the possibility that friends nr neighbors —or relatives might die but not one of us could imagine a life in which Daddy Lorimer had no part. He had been the sun, .we realized, and we the satellites revolving around him and it was unthinkable that th*. I/oriiner family could exist without him. It was especially terrible for me to think that dear daddy had gone out of my life forever believing that I was the kind of a girl who could he disloyal to her husband! That he had censed to be the center of our universe troubled me less than that he should have gone out of it thinking evil of me. Grief Is always selfish, I suppose, tt was Inrelation to myself that I kept thinking about, daddy. I wanted very much to tell Bob why I was so particularly unhappy. Time after time my husband kissed me tenderly, as if ho could not be grateful enough to the fates for preserving me from the disaster. In the rush of events, I had not had an opportunity to explain at length how and why Travers and I had gone nway from the yacht In a power boat at midnight. And ts Bob should hear but half of the story, he might be jealous. For n lesser eauso, he had been moody more than once in our married life. “I was the last of the family to talk with daddy,” 1 said as we sat in the drawing-room of the train one evening. We were crossing the vast Mexican desert and we would have time lor a long conversation. Without needing to be urged, 1 related all that had hap pened the day the “lone” was lost, and concluded with the rescue of Spence and Chrys. “Chrys and Dr. Spence wouldn’t have perished on the beach, although they failed to get aboard the yacht. They’d have survived a night In the open and surely would have reached town next day. It see.ms to me that you didn’t save them—they saved you by making you lose the yacht,” Bob said. •“It would seem so,” I agreed, and then I related the details of the telepathic message I had received from my husband and told why daddy’s valet had prophesied that the “lone” would sink. Jordau Spence watched me through a haze of blue smoke. “You are opening one of the biggest and most interesting discussions of the century, Mrs. Lorimer. Spiritism—or spiritualism—is having a world-wide revival since the war,” he said. “Just at present more books are being published for and ugainst spiritism than on any other subject,” said Jim, Jr., throwing down a week-old paper and lighting a fresh cigaret. “I’ve just rend that the big public libraries do not pretend to meet the demand for such •works.

Women Popping Question Break Nation’s Record Leap Year’s Start Reveals Vast Army of Men Hit by Cupid’s Arrows. NEW YORK, March 2.—This leap year is starting out to set a record in mar viages, according to statistics gathered from all parts of the country today. Increases iu marriage licenses during January and February over the corresponding period of 1919 ranged from a comparatively few to nearly 100 per cent. Os the cities reporting, Dallas, Tex., showed the greatest increase. Boston was the only city to report a decrease. Some officials, notably in New York, Denver, Milwaukee, Harrisburg'and Lincoln, Neb., attributed the gains to women taking advantage of their prerogative to do the proposing. Others suggested the culmination of war romances, while still others said improved economic conditions were responsible. NEW YORK WOMEN PAY LICENSE FEE. New York officials, who reported 6,050 licenses Ibis year compared with s.2fk’> last year, based their belief that women are proposing on tin* fact that "a great number of them are paying the $1 license fee.” Harrisburg, Pa., reported 236 this year and 190 last year. “The figures seem to prove that 1920 brides are not too slow to pop the question, or. if not that, possibly the leap year thought has lent courage to the men,” said Recorder M. H. Taylor. “Leap year perhaps has been responsible for the increase, but you had better look at the divorce records before you form any conclusions.” said the license clerk iu Lincoln, Net*.. In reporting 213 licenses this year against 152-ln 1919. "I attribute the gain to women’s, proposals,” sab! Miss May Hines at th* Denver license bureau. She reported 530 this year and 201 last year. Milwaukee reported 627 this year snd 531 In 1919, officials giving leap year and “the men back from the war” as a reason. Hartford. Conn., reported 173 this year and 118 last year. SOME POINT TO HIGHER WAGES. Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Cleveland and Columbus said increases were due to higher wages and better economic conditions generally. Boston, recording a decrease from t. 083 to 1,020. blamed the high cost of living and the housing shortage. Figures from other cities were: Chicago, 5,376 this year, 4,868 last year; Dallas.
