Women’s Clubs Outline Work for New Year State Federation Council to Hold Meeting Here Jan. 16-17. By JULIA C. HENDERSON. Through changes made In the constitution cf the Indiana Federation of Clubs at Its last convention, provision was made for the establishing of an executive committee and a board of directors, thus distributing the business of the federation among a larger group. The board includes the officers, the department chairmen and the district chairmen. The elub year in the future begins the day following the close of the convention and the newly-elected officers will take their offices at that time. The federation council meeting, which will be held in Indianapolis Jan. 16-17, will abide by the ruling and it is ex pected a larger number of women will be in attendance than ever before. The question of raising the finances for Indiana’s part in the purchase of the General Federation headquarters in Washington will be brought before the body by Miss Vida Newsom of Columbus, general federation director for Inkdiana. The plans of the heads "f be departments well as of work chairmen, will be pr■ seni-d for approval by tho board. With the new year books available within ‘i short time, giving the committee chairmen material upon which to work, the Indiana federation will be equipped to present a program which will tend toward making the club year of 1022 one of the most profitable in the federation's history. The subjects to which it lias confined itself are laudable and will make for high credit to the women of the State, if carried through. Tho federation has ' been designated as one of the greatest j organizations in tho State for the pro , motion of public weliare anti for its con Bcientious and faithful service in rnaklnv Indiana a leading State in the advance : ment of affairs which tend to general j betterment. The following resolution was adoptee by the executive committee at its first j meeting: ‘•The formal policy of the Indiana Fed eration of Clubs is to promote commitity service through stronger support " istablished agencies in their relation local conditions: to inaugurate new plans wherever needed, to seek truth by con tinuous study of history, literature, art and economics. In giving vitality to this policy, con stituent clubs become dependable groups of women organized primarily for study, but ready to develop plans that improve the community in appearance, in recrea tions, children in health and happiness citizens in a regard for others, and a will to suppress wrong doing." MISS ALEXANDER SURPRISES MANY IN HER RECITAL former Indianapolis Girl Appears on Musicale Program. Margaret June Alexander, formerly of this city, now of New York, was the guest artist appearing on the program j of the Indianapolis Matinee Musicale | given yesterday in the Masonic Temple j Her numbers came as a surprise to many - of the audience, ob she came to the city unexpectedly and was not scheduled on < the program. She has fulfilled the promise of her : early vears. when she studied here with Flora Hunter, for her playing is a joy i to her hearers. She not only has cun- j ning technical skill but she has that hazy. Indescribable something called temperament, which swings the audience through harmonious intraclcics along with the artist. She played ‘wo Chopin numbers yesterday, the “Ballade In G Major" and a dainty, rippling waltz, In brilliant fashion The program as a whole was most satisfying. The Orioff Trio, including .Tear Orloff, violinist; Genieve Ilughel, cellist, j and Leonora Coffin, pianist, opened the i program with an artistic presentation of the Beethoven “Trio Op. 1, N r > 3." The ensemble work of the musicians is decidedly effective, their shadings are delicately handled, and the four movements played vesterday were colorful, and distinctively identified by the skilful Interpretation. Mrs. Everett C. Johnson, soprano, was the only singer on the program. She j sang Massenet’s “Elegie" and Leroux’s “The Nile” In delightful style, with violin obligatoes played by Ella Schroeder, with Glenn Frierinood at the piano. ' Mrs. Johnson’s true flexible voiee showed to advantage* in her numbers, and Miss Sehroeder’s nice “fiddling” added a note I of pleasing variety. An interesting feature was the offering of Mrs. Boy Hunt, violinist, and Mrs Lafayette Page, pianist, in which the “Sonata for Violin and Piano in G Major,” by Guillaume I.e Keu, was heard for the first time in Indianapolis. It is ultra-classic in form, and while a little detached in spots, holds the Interest of the audience. The two artists presented the movements In masterly manner, show ing a thorough understanding of their subject, combined with nice technique. Two piano numbers were played by Mrs. B. A. Rlchnrdson. Pile presented Aachmaninoff's “Prelude in G Minor" and the Mendelssobn-Liszt “On Wings of, Song” with careful artistry. The program was arranged by Mrs. G. R. Estabrook. M. W.

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.—Dreams do come true. Dreams of adventure, dreams of romance, dreams of success—dreams of a little daughter of the Southwest who set her heart on a career in opera—and landed behind the footlights at the Auditorium, taking curtain calls with GalllCurcl, Garden and Muratore—and then (write it in your hope book), you daughters of drudgery, you slaves of the schoolrooms. you prisoners of poverty —a curtain call all by yourself. Thus Mary McCormic, without a dime, nor friend at court, nor social prestige, has won her way to recognition—beating down the walls of modern Jericho with her golden soprano voice. The second triumph of the former cowgirl came in “La Bohenie” last Monday night, when she sang far the first time the sprightly role of "Musette'' opposite Gallt-Curel as “Mitni.” As “Mieaela" in “Carmen,” Miss McCormic had made her operatic debut in a demuro role. As “Musette" she is the flippant, care-free girl of the Paris boulevards, fluffs and powder. No two characters are more widely ranged. Herman Devries, dean of the Chicago critics, declared In type that. Miss McCormic wa3 surpassing in both roles. As if to fill to the very brim the cup of this unknown newcomer in the Chicago opera company, Mary Garden, general j direetor fwho “discovered” Miss McCortuic in her quest for American voices) sent the little five-foot daughter of the Southwest her own make-up box and dressing maid, that there might be no slip in trying minutes of “Everybody ready. Curtain in fifteen minutes.” And when the third act was over and Mary McCormic stood modestly in the wings, it was the great Gnlli-Curri who led “Musette" to the footlights and, as a reward, let her take n call all by herself. And so dreams do come true. The spirit of romance, adventure and success behind the footlights is horn again in anew voice in America's constellation of home I girls who succeed in opera.

MRS. HARDING PROPOSES TRIP TO NEW YORK Republican Women’s Club Invites ‘First Ladif to Luncheon. By CONSTANCE DREXF.L. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12—Mrs. Hardin! s proposed trip to New York to attend the luncheon of the Republican Women’s Club on Saturday, Is evoking pronounced interest. It is significant of the times, as Mrs. Harding is the wife of the first President elected by women of the country “same as men" so it is perfectly logical for her to break away to delve into women’s polities of her own. If the trip materializes, it will be the first time Mrs. Harding lias left Washington unless accompanying the President since inauguration. At ti e White House it is said Mrs. Harding is expecting to go, but that the matter had not been definitely settled. John T. Adams, chairman of the Republican national committee, and Mrs. Modil McCormick of the Republican executive committee, will accompany Mrs. Harding. The trip lias been urged by Mrs. Arthur E. Livermore, president of the Republican Women's Club of New York and member of the Republican ex ecutiva committee. Mrs. Livermore’s visit to the White House this week lias started the rumor that it is she whom the President will appoint as the woman member of the Brazilian international exposition commission. Mrs. Livermore has been a tremendously hard worker for the success of the Republican party and is regarded as a women of exceptional executive and organization ability. Everybody who has been sympathetic to the progress of women in politics is deeply shocked at the news of the death in St. Paul of Clarence B. Miller, secretary of the Republican National Committee. Since women have had the vote, Mr. Miller has done his nest to give them a directing part in the Republican party organization, first during the presidential campaign and since then in Republican headuarters here and In planning the organization throughout the country. Os the four women advisory delegates to the arms conference Mrs. Egan is still away, but Mrs. Thomas G. Wiuter has rejoli ed her other colleagues. She returned very enthusiastic about the National Board meeting of the General Federation of Women's Clubs in Chicago, of which she is president. Twenty thousand dollars was subscribed as an initial payment upon tlie house which the federation has purchased on N street, near the British embassy, for its national headuartsrs. —Copyright, 1922, by I subtle Ledger Company.

u nite and L ooters, Inc. 0 By Ralph Cummins Q

EDITOR’S NOTE —This story began in Wednesday’s edition of the Daily Times. Barry North, a young business man, had aspirations in his youth to become a detective. When numerous banks had been robbed by employes of the institutions and tile embezzlers had escaped with large sums of money, he wiu called into service by tlie International Fidelity Company, n bonding concern, to impersonate Sam Derby, a convicted bank teller, who was supposed, by all not in the secret, to be out of prison on parole. His Impersonator’s task was to join a branch of tlie United Syndicate (a band of clever bank looters) and enter into a scheme to rob n big bank. A bank president and a young iady secretary are the other leading characters in the story which has the usual romantic flavor. Pick up yesterday’s Times and start at the beginning. CHAPTER 111. Two days later from a littie mountain resort I mailed a report to Wallace, my chief. The most Important purt of that report consisted of thirty-three onethousand dollar bills. With that safely registered In the mail, i abandoned all responsibilities for a long-delayed hike into u fisherman’s paradise. 1 returned to Seattle upon the agreed ilpte ami received my instructions. “Your name is Barry North,” explained Merriman. “You come from the Palladio Trust Company of Chicago. You are to report to Dougins Evans, president |of the Metropolitan Bank of Los Angeles I i.ext Monday morning. You will receive orders from time to time. There is a representative of the syndicate now in the bank. I wish yon all sorts of luck.” Ou the train I studied the pages of typewritten instructions and by t'ao time I I reached Los Angeles I knew as much about Barry North us 1 did about Sam Derby. I found the Metropolitan Bank to be •in imposing Institution in a building of its own Just off Broadway But I run | into something when I asked for Presl--1 dent Evans. ; “He's laid up with rheumatism." replied the clerk at the Information desk. | i hunted up the cashier, i “North? Oh, yes, Mr Evans said yon I were to go out to see him He lives in the lulls back of Hollywood." I had no difficulty in finding the place, t was impressed by the big oid-fnsh-ioned house iu Us setting of modern shrubbery. I liked the place and t liked the high ceilings and the comfortable every day furnishings that I found lai side. ! I was Interested In President Evans from the first glimpse I had of his gray j head over the top of the wheelchair in ! which he was sitting. There was sometiling about that head alone thnt lndlj rated power, and when I saw Ms slurp I,la -h eyes, Ms close-cropped gray mustache, and ids heavy fighting Jaw, 1 knew that lie was u man who was in of winn . ■■' to wbate\er ■ ! t: b-:“ ■■■•.: ; I Metropolitan. Mr. North," be sad. glancing up at me from the file of papers that lay upon the flat top desk bei fore him. He gripped my hand with a warm pressure and motioned mo to a ‘- at opposite him. ■You come to ns with a most envi- , able record," be said, clearing his throat land fumbling tho letters. "I have long felt tho need of a man of your capabiljitles in the institution ! can assure you , a promising future." I mumbled an inane word of appreciation. “I am especially pleased,” went on Mr. Evans, referring to one of tho papers, "to find thnt you arc so familiar with modern vaults. We are trying to decide on u m-w system. I shall tie glad to turn the investigation of that matter over to you." I nodded, congratulating myself on the knowledge that years of study of safe mechanisms had given mo. "Just i|ow," explained Evans, "there rre a number of little mat let a that I

shall ask you to take care of. I would like you to stay here with me tor the present if you don't mind camping in this old house I have no family, but 1 have a jewel of a housekeeper. Also, I have my secretary here.” He tapped upon the desk with his ; pencil and a young woman came from behind a screen. “Miss Bourke,” said Evans, “this Is Mr. North of Chicago, who will be a member of the Metropolitan organization.” It was not until I had bowed in acknowledgment of the Introduction that I looked at the girl's face. And with that look the simplicity of the case dissolved into a maze of worrying complexity. For she was the kind of girl that I had always dreamed about. Tall and straight, with hair of brown curling about a head set erect upon a pair of Sloping shoulders A healthy color burned rose like in her tanned cheeks Her steady blue eyes and her firm chin spoke eloquently of a confident independence. A friendly smile curved her full red lips. "Let me welcome you to Los Angeles, Mr. North,” she said cordially. “I hope you will like tho city, and the bank and —and all of us.” Where had I seen her before? Only for a moment was that question in my mind. In the hour that followed while Mi.-s Bourke showed about tho make shift office and presented me to Mrs, Gray, the motherly housekeeper. I had little time to think of illusive resemblances. All the afternoon and evening I tried j to fit another setting around Mis* Bonrkn’s face. But it was not until late I that night, in my room overlooking the I light of Los Angeles that I placed In my mind the circumstances of my previous meeting with the girl I had now met as Alstan Bourke. Then did I know that I was really on the road to trouble. For I had seen her a convicted prisoner In a Chicago Federal court.

CHAPTER IV. If I were to try to analyze my feelings toward Alstan Bourke when I met her next morning, I know I would make a Jumbled fizzle of the attempt. In the first place her confident athletic movements and the steady poise of her shapely head assured ina that she was an op ponent worthy of all my professional wiles. For there was no question in my mind 1 that Miss Bourke was In league with the Syndicate. Merrlman had said that 1 would find a co-worker on the job. Miss Bourke was without and uht tlia girl 1 had recognized in the courtroom in Chicago. Therefore, according to everyday logic, she was the other Syndicate representative on duty at the Metropolitan And the very fact that she was so close to President Evans was an added reason for my conclusion. And toy conversation with her that morning confirmed much of my conjecture When I reached the big diningroom I found that Evans had already breakfasted and was smoking on the wide front porch. Miss Bourke came In as 1 hesitated. “Good morning, Mr North. Y'ou're early.” 'Not very Mr. Evans seems to have beaten us botn." . "Oh, he's always early. He's the most 1 | energetic man I ever saw.” The motherly Mrs. Gray hustled In with the grapefruit. “This is anew one on me.” I ventured "I'm not used to having ray employer put me in bis own home.” Miss Bourke gave a ripply little laugh. “Oh, that’s his efficiency. He hag to keep up with his business affairs, and how could ho do it better than to have a competent man near him ail the time?” j "To say nothing of tho private secre- : 1 tnry.” 1 added. Her level eyes sought iniue across the table For Just an instant I was sure 1 read a comradely message in her regard. Then she tossed her heßd “I'm the indispensible. I've been Mr. Evans' right hand for two years. He says he couldn't get along without me.” "I admire his good judgment.” I put in quickly. Then I almost Jumped at the chilly wave that passed over her face. But almost at once her displeasure : was gone. "You are from Chicago, Mr North?” “Yes—recently. I came from farther oast originally.” “Were you long In Chicago?” "Five years. I’ve got Into the habit oi calling It home. Were you ever there ?” i thought that she hesitated, but It may only have been because I was look- , Ing for hesitation. “No,” she replied carelessly. “I'm a native daughter." Before we were through breakfast Mr. Evans hobbled into the dining-room. ' "Mow are you this morning, North?” He greeted me genially. Somehow he seemed to regard me ns a whole lot more important that an ordinary bauk | employe. After breakfast Mr Evans asked me to accompany him (o his office in the 1 little den off the parlor. There he instructed me in brusk businesslike sentences as to certain matters that he wished me to attend to at the bank Soon Miss Bourke came over to his desk with a bundle of letters. “Here’s the correspondence regarding the vaults,” she said. “1 understood you to say thnt you wished Mr North to take care of that?” “Oh, yes.” He shuffled a file of letter pages and turned to me "Y’ou sen I'm not satisfied with our vault system It's out of date. There are a dozen things about It that are old-fashioned, but the, fact that a safe expert opened it for mo |

Women Who Are Doing Big Things in Washington

Mrs), Duncan Elliot, manager of the Wtlliard Coffee Shop, In the basement of the famous hotel of that name. Mrs. Elliot Is a widow, having lost her husband in the World War. She Is an English girl. Her husband was au officer in the English army. During the war she was with the French Red Cross, doing canteen work in France. After her husband's death sin* joined the American Red Cross and at the end of the war cams to America. Her experience iu canteen work makes her an able manager for the popular little coffee shop. while the time lock was on, is enough to condemn it." He handed me the papers. “I’ve been talking e little with these three concerns. I'd like you to go into it thoroughly. Qet representatives of these companies and find out all you can against our vault." His eyes twinkled. “You see. I've got to convince the directors that we need anew vault.” As 1 folded the letters and listened to Evans' final Instructions I caught Miss Bourkc s eyes upou me and 1 was sure 1 read an understanding in them. Was there an influence back of Evans’ desire to make me familiar with the vaults of the Metropolitan? And did Miss Bourke, as an agent of the Syndicate, have a hand In shaping that Influence? I spent the greater part of the day with various vault men probing the mechanism of the big Metroplitan safe door. When I finally left the bank in the afternoon 1 realized that, unwittingly, of course, the Syndicate had placed me in the best possible position to make a great haul. For already I knew enough about that vault to be able to enter it at any time As 1 walked up the street I had occasion to put my hand Into the side pocket of my coat. I’uzzled, I drew out a strange envelope. It was addressed to me. 1 opened it. With a quick breath that was almost a gasp I sensed the purport of the typewritten page*. 1 had received my detailed order to loot the Metropolitan. (To Be Continued.) | PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

And no sooner had he finished speaking than a great commotion arose inside the house. Then a squeak was heard. Again Jack opened tho door and cried: "This Is the cat That killed the rat That ate the malt That lay in the house -that Jack built." And after that a big yellow cat looked out of the window and bowed. Jack pointed to her, saying with a laugh: 'lsn’t she beautiful? I’m going to get her a pair of little pink slippers. She deserves them for killing the rat that ate the mnit.” "Bow-wow! bow-wow!” and all of a sudden a fierce looking dog came around the corner of the house and ran up the frout steps, and before Jack could close the door the dog rushed inside. The yellow cat disappeared, and the sound of falling chairs came through tho open window. And pretty soon little dog Buff grew so excited that he wanted to rush up on the piazza, but Buss Junior wouldn't let him. and by and by appeared leading the dog by the collar.

The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income Problems of Home Solved by Practical Budget Given Daily in Times. [The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-dav problems of the hone* are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. lloopei has evolved und found, practical. Follow them dally in an interesting review of thetr home life and iearn to meet the conditions of tho high coat of living with them.] THURSDAY. Right after breakfast Mr. Hooper and Roger descended to the basement to coutiuue the packing of the fruits and vegetables that still almost filled the shelves of Mrs. Hooper's preserve closet in spite of the inroads that had been made upon it for the last few months. She was still determined to have her store of canned food with which to begin housekeeping in her new home, and Henry had been tinaily persuaded that wilh careful packing It was quite possible to ship it with perfect safety. Roger was even more skeptical than his father about the possibility of It arriving safely and was loud in his suggestions that they try to eat it all up during the next two weeks. Finally, however, barrels and boxes bad been obtained from the grocery store and with newspapers and old cloths and straw he and his father after much talk against lha plan went to work to do the very best Job they could under the circumstances. Following the departure of the Seldens yesterday Mr. and Mrs. Hooper had gone carefully over the house to sea just what ought to be done to put it into good shape for their new tenant, i They felt that with the added rent they were receiving that it was no more than right that a few extra improvements should be made even through the Seldom* had made-no suggestions. “I believe we ought to put some now paper on this living-room,” said Mr, Hooper looking at It critically. "Why, I had no intention of changing that paper for another year at least,” remarked Mrs. Hooper. “It Is really in very good condition, why should we Change It?" “It would have done very well for us," answered Mr. Hooper, “but I think wa owe tt to the Seldens to do as much as possible to freshen up the place. I’d certainly be In favor of new paper not only in the living room, but in the dining room and hail, too." “All the woodwork would have to be painted then or the whole place would look worse than It does now because of the contrast be’ween the new paper and the old woodwork,” observed Mrs. Hooper. "Well that wouldnt be any too much to do when Mrs. Selden was nice enough to lot you keep all those things that you would have had to buy .as soon as you were settled again," Henry reminded her. “That Is so,” agreed Mrs. Hooper, “and It will be an Improvement to the house that we should have to make next year if we have to rent the place again, and I’d rather the Seldens had the benefit of it while they are here." “I? you will select the paper and get the paper hanger to come right in and do the rooms," said Henry, "Roger and I will have plenty of time to finish the painting before I leave next week." "I’m sure you can," replied Mrs. Hooper, "now that there is no packing of the furniture to be done yon can get at it a;- soon as you finish with the fruits and vegetables." So right after luncheon Mrs. Hooper had gone in town and selected anew plain paper for the two rooms and the hall She chose a shade of light tnu that had a good deal of yellow in It that reflected the light and would make tho room look cheerful as well as furnishing an attractive background for the pictures. Having the paper alike in all the rooms was very much more economical than having each one different and it also had the effect of making the house look larger. The paper hanger could not possibly come until Monday, but he promised to be finished in one day so that Henry and Roger could get at the painting on Tuesday and finish it all up before Henry left on Saturday the 22nd. This he planned would land him in Indianapolis in time to report to his new boss on Monday, Jan. 23. The menu for the three meals on Friday are: BREAKFAST Sliced Oranges and Bansnas Cereal Popovers Coffee Spanish Omelet LUNCHEON nasb on Toast Green Pepper Stuffed With Leftover Macaroni and Tomato Bread and Butter Preserved Fruit Milk DINNER Vegetable Soup Creamed Cc ltlsh Boiled Potatoes Boiled Onions Buttered Beets Apple Betty CAULIFLOWER WITH TOMATO SAIT* Roil a whole cauliflower for ten minutes lu fresh water, drain and boll until tender iu salted water.
