ARTISTS URGE MORE GENERAL ART KNOWLEDGE Mrs. Myra Richards, Otto Stark , William Forsyth Give Talks at Club Luncheon. The art department of the Woman's Department Club entertained today with their annual artist luncheon, nt the Department Club, 1702 North Meridian street. The club was decorated with palms and ferns. The tables formed a large "A" In honor of the artist iniests. Large baskets of spring flowers adorned the table and were tied with hows of tgilo. Mrs. C. C. Wilson and Mrs. J. B. Chambers were in charge of the luncheon plans. The honor guests were Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Wheeler. Mr. and Mrs. William Forayth, Mrs. Myra Richards, Mrs. J. Otis Adams. Otto Stark, Paul Hadley. Miss EdnA Shovcr. Paul Randel and Miss Anna Basselman. Covers were laid for seventy-lire gues’s. The speakers for the luncheon wpre Mrs. Richards, Otto Stark and William Forsyth. Mr. Stark spoke an "The Importance of Art Education," lie emphasized the need of education to the general public. “I'nless one has the subject of art along with their education, the education is unbalanced," says Mr. Stark. Art is one of the principals uof education, even of life, he believes, and urges that more time be spent in the pursuit of art. Mrs. Richards, in her ta'ik to the lovers of art, said "she felt, such a luncheon wa a stepping stone toward the cooperation of those interested.” She said "hc hoped for the building up of art through the cooperation of all artists.” William Forsyth spoke on “Local Appreeiaion of Art,” and the attitude of the public to the artist and the artist to the public. He also ettieized the lack of education along art llnesfi declaring art as taught the child is too cut-and dried, too standardized, that it did not permit inspiration and feeling to be expressed in any form of work. He said the teachers of art. When teaching a child, gave him what they had received from their teacher without life or expression. ne said the more efficient the teacher, often the more lifeless and expressionless the lesson. WATER SYSTEM GETS PRAISES Foresighted Plan. Says Luncheon Speaker. The water system of IndlanapotU Is a splendid example of broad, foresighted city planning." said Dr T. Victor Keene in an address before the Woman's Rotary Club nt its luncheon in the Oarpool Ho. tel. on the subject of "City Planning.” "George Fuller, the New York engineer, rianned not for a city of twenty thousand, ns Indianspol's was at that time, but for a city with a population of one million," Dr. Keene said. "The use of the canal as a sediment bain. from which the water empties naturally Into the filter basin and hence by gravity into the pumping station, is an excellent illustration of the use that miv b made of Datura! landscape features in the interests of economy. "We have today two natural beauty spots from which to develop a civic center second to none In the country—the magnificent Federal Building and the Riley Memorial Library. Using these two units as the extremes of the group, we have planned a plaza of seven blocks, in the center of which stand the war ffietnorlal building. On either side will be parkways, which wi!l include University Park with its artistic Bittler fountain, and Library Tark, already one of the city’s beauty spots. The two churches which occupy the block north of Vermont street will be left standing for at twenty-fire years, but ad other buildings will be leveled to make way for a magnificent civic center of which Indianapolis should be justly proud."

One evening he asked hep a most extraordinary question, shot out of him without Intending it, discharged out of his questioning thoughts as by a hid den spring suddenly touched by groping fingers. "Effie. do you love God?” Iler surprise seemed to him to be morn at. the thing he had asked *' an at its mazing unexpectedness and amazing irrelevancy. "Why, of course, do, Mr. Sabre.” “Why do you ?"

The doctor had been and was coming again in the morning There was nothing to be done, he had said; just watch her. Watch her? How long had he been standing at tho foot of the huge bed — the biggest bed he had ever seen—arid what was there to watch? "Sinking," the doctor had said. In process here before his eyes, but not to be seen by them, awful and mysterious things. Death with practiced fingers about his awful and mysterious surgery of separating the spirit from the flesh, the soul from the body, the incorruptible from the corruptible. But young Perch was dead. Young Perch was killed. It was real. He was here. This war! II He felt very cold. Me moved from the bed and replenished the fire and crouched bosidd It. There was some strange sound in the room. He dozed in a chair. Some strange sound, or had he imagined it? He sat up* tenseliy and listened. It was her breathing, a harsh and labored sound. He stepped quickly to the bed and looked and then ran into the passagennd called loudly, "Effie! Effie!" Frightening, terrible, agonizing. He was kneeling on one side of the bed, Effie at the other. The extreme moment was come to her that lay between them. She was moaning. He bowed his face Into his hands. The sound of her moaning was terrible to him. That inhabitant of this her body had done its pre*,nratlons and now stood at the door n the darkness, very frightened. It wanted to go back. It had been very accustomed to being here. It could not go back. It did not want to shut the door. The door was shutting. It stood and shrank and whimpered there. Oh. terrible! Beyond endurance, agonizing. It was old Mrs. Perch that stood there whimpering, shrink,ng. upon the threshold of that huge abyss, wide as space, dark ns night. It was no spirit. It was just that very feeble Mrs. Perch with her fumbling bands nnd her moving lips Look here. Young Perch would never allow her even to cross a road without him! How in pity was she to take this frightful step? He twisted up all his emotions Into an appeal of tre niendous intensity. "Young Perch! Come here? Your mother! Young I’ercb, come here!”

Telling if, once, to Nona, he said, "I don't know what happened. They talk about self hy pilot Ism. Perhaps it was that. I know I made a most frighthful effort saying ‘Young Perch.’ I had to. I could see her —that poor terrified thing Something had to be done. Some one had to go to her. I, said it like tn a nightmare, bursting to get out of It, 'Young Perch. Come here' Anyway, there it is, Nona I heard them. It was Imagination, of cottrsq. But I heard them." He heard. "Now then. Mother! Don't be frightened Here I am. Mother. Come on, Mother. One step, Mother. Only one. I can't reach you. You mnst take just one step. Look, Mother, here's my hand Can't you see my hand?" "Now, Mother, I tell you It Isn't. Do Just trust me. Do Just come " “I daren't, Freddie. I can't, Freddie I can't. I can't " “You must. Mother, yon must. Look, look, here I am. It s I, Freddie. Don’t cry, Mother. Just trust yourself entirely to nte. You know how you always can trust me. Look, here's' my band. Just one tiny step and you will touch it 1 know you feel HI, darling Mother. You won't any, any more, once you touch my hand. But I can t come any nearer, dearest. You must. You—. Ah, brave, beloved Mother—now!" He heard Eftle's voice, "Oh, she's dead! She's dead!" Dead? He stared upon her dead face. Where was gone that mask? Whence had come this glory? That inhabitant of this her body, in act of going had looked back, and its look had done this "Why do you loro God?" he asked. thing. It had closed the door upon a ruined house, and looked, and left a temple. It had departed from beneath n mask, and looked, and that which had been masked now was beautiful. Young Perch!

TO BATTLE LOFTY LEVY ON LIVING

MRS. EDWARD P. COSTIGAN

WASHINGTON, April IS.—Why does tho cost of living stay high? That is the question the National League of Women Voters has asked representatives of the Government to tell delegates to the league's national convention in Baltimore April 2t. On the basis of the information pre rented, the league will shape Its course in the congressional elections this fall and Its attitude toward certain pending legislation. "Women have a particular interest in the continuing high eost of living,” says Mrs. Edward P. Costigan, chairman of the league's committee on food supply and demand.

Shopping Notes The Indianapolis shops are showing an attractive novelty In materia! for the new summer frocks in an imported fabric somewhat resembling loosely woven marquisette. In which a background of solid color shows a woven design In white with all the appearance of old fashioned cross stitching. Tho homo dressmaker may purchase bended material by the yard an attractive French ratine tn white, broadly striped In yellow, upon which lines of black heading form an effective design. This bonded material may be had in various colorings and designs. Among the fascinatingly named fabrics to be seen this spring is “Rezella," an open mesh cotton material which comes tn a variety of brilliant solid colors. It is especially adapted to the making of Mouses for sport wear, and is effective when trimmed with touches of contrasting yarn.

Our First Year Chapter XIX—Is Husband a Censor? _____ —BY A BRIDE.

yOF MAY BEGIN HERE. This odd pact between Jack and Peggy to maiutaln individual free dom after marriage is not working perfectly. Because of Peggy’s extravagances Jack diplomatically has to work out n budget system. Jack didn't mean to leave me so subdued tnls morning. I'm never going to let him knowhow easily he can hurt my feelings. For when he went Into budget making so solemnly it really seemed to me that he isn’t finite satisfied with me as a housekeeper. We've been married only six weeks and this day he proposed that we make a schedule for spending our salary. Am Ia pour manager? Does he think Pm a mistake as a business nrtner? So many unexpected worries turn up as soon as you're married! This budget business tumbled from a clear sky. I had run hut of money and it's only Thurs day,-and I had spent every cent Jack gave me last Monday morning. He gives me $lO every week for groceries and meat and this morning it was all gone, all gone on account of m? luncheon for the girls. And after I had told .Tack I hadn’t a penny to buy our dinner 1 found that he had only $5.53 and that he Intended it to cover nil h‘ls personal expenses until the first of the month—five days away ! I'd never have known if I hadn't insisted. For Jack gave up his fiver with the gayest smile. I had to go through his pockets to find out how much ho had left for himself. Only 83 cents! And Jack thought it a wonderful Joke! "Let's make life a great adventure together, Pegging!” he said. “Let’s take the good and the bad of it as if we were explorers! After my years in the war, darling, nothing at home is hard! Nothing that can happen to yefu and me to-

been the direct result.” Secretary of Agriculture Wallace will discuss the unbalanced ratio of costs as between production and distribution. Expensive distributing and marketing systems, Wallace will show, are one of the big elements In keeping up the prices of necessities. How trade combinations and agreements. effected through “open price associations," become a prop to htgh prices will be explained by Houston Thompson, chairman of tho Federal trade commission. Senator Arthur Gnpper, leader of the "farm bloc” in Congress, will attempt to convert the delegates to support of more active Interest In cooperative associations and public markets as the best means of combating both the evils presented by Wallace and Thompson. RESULTS The visible results of the "Tver's Clean ICr Up" drive are praiseworthy, and the invisible results—increased civic pride, and a .safe city, are highly laudable.—Otto Ray, city councilman. v J that might be found therein. There is something in the dainty crispness of this fabric that makes It seem Ideally suited for afternoon frocks to be worn with droopy, picturesque hats. Imported white voile shows a vivid design of rosea In natural color. Conspicuous figures are a feature of the summer fabrics. Dotted Swiss is still in favor for summer wear and the brilliant shadow characteristic of all this season's fabrics form pleasing backgrounds for the dainty white dots. For the much used sport skirt a wool fabric Is shown which 1s well described by its name of “plaid hopsacking" for it has the same loose mesh that marks the plebeian "gunny sack.” A material which seems a cross between beaded voile an.? dotted Swiss is known as Beadora voile. It has a background of the darker tones upon which designs are worked out in tiny white dots, neither woven into the fabric nor made of beads, but apparently pasted upon the fabric. Scotch tissues are extensively shown in a variety of ehocks and plaids, and the ever-popular gingham has taken on added glorv as a fabric for (harming house and afternoon frocks.

gether can hurt. No money for five flays? Let's make it an adventure, Peggins!" But 1 couldn’t see it so. I didu't have sense enough to stop bemoaning our financial stringency, and finally. Jack suggested that the way to keep out of such a fix In the future was to make a budget and live by it. "Eve always kept accounts at home." I told him. "Somebody says that keeping accounts is writing epitaphs on dead money," Jack la'ughed. "1 suppose a budget Is a sort of futurist fashion," I said. “You divide up your income before you spend it. Let’s make one now!” But a budget was not to be quickly mapped out over the breakfast table. Jack had to go to the public library for a model. He came home at night with it in his pocket. "First of all, we save.” he explained. “Put down 10 per cent for savings. Rent we have already contracted for, our lease says SOO a month; that's one fifth of our income; 20 per cent for rent is too much if wo have a fuinily—when we have a family"—here Jack kissed me—"we'd have to save on rent to spend on food." “Clothing, 15 per cent. Housekeeping, including laundry, cleaning and any extra help, 10 per cent. Culture, meaning magazines and newspapers, health and recreation, charities, 15 per cent; food, 20 per cent, and 10 per cent for personal and miscellaneous, my daily lunches for example. But I guess we'll have to ex perirnent a little, Peggins i Taxes have to come in somewhere." Somehow housekeeping seems much more important to me, now I have some fixed rules for spending. But I wish I had suggested the budget myself. I can’t help feeling "censored" because Jack thought of It first.—Copyright, 1922. (TP Ec Cc -Cauefl.)

LADY ASTOR AN AMERICAN OF DISTINCTION Speaker at National Convention of League of Women Voters Social Leader. By FRANCES GORDON DENNY, Lady Nancy Astor, M. P., who will speak at the Pan American conference of women and the national convention of tho League of Women Voters in Baltimore this week, will probably be the center o£ interest for the majority of delegates to both assemblies. Her position as the first woman member of the British Parliament; is in Itself a guarauty of distinction, but as an American, w r ho has attained this unusual distinction she is doubly interesting. She is the daughter of the lata Chiswell D. Langhorne of Greenwood, Va., the descendani of a long line of colonial ancestry, and was a leader, before her marriage, in Southern society. An Indianapolis woman, who was ono of her classmates in college, describes “the beautiful Nancy Langhorne” a3 a high-spirited girl, full of pranks and mischief, but giving promise of the abilities that have been so brilliantly developed in her later career. Like most Southern girls, she had the gift of rea ly speech and the engaging aplomb peculia" to the daughters of the fine old families of Dixie. She must have needed both whan, as the wife of the young Viscount: Astor, she went to take her place among the nobility of England.

VISCOT NT’S TITLE NOT OF LONG STANDING. Her husband's father, the first Vis. count, would no doubt have preferred tA wed his eldest son to a title, ignoring the fact that his own was not of long standing and had been won only by vir. tue of his millions—for even in England great fortunes sometimes buy titles o< nobility. There had been more or less criticism in America when this branch of the Astor family renounced their citizen, ship in the United States to become sub. Jects of Great Britain. The usual objection was raised that the Astor fortune had been made in this country and that It ought to he spent here. They werq accused of snobbery and all that. But after all, I suppose there i# more reason why an American should no(j become a citizen of Great Britain i$ hi chooses than a Briton Bhould become ad American citizen. We have a great many of the latter—some very distinguished ones, too —and would like to have more, A little reciprocity is not a had thinly especially Just now. Lady Astor's ex. perience as a British subject and as a member of the British Parliament h*H fitted her to speak with authority on re. lntions between her native country and the country of her adoption that she could not otherwise have had. Because of this very fact. American worn4b are ex. peeling her to bring to the Pan-American conference a message of special value. UNIQUE SITUATION OF HUSBAND AND WIFE. It is a unique situation for n husband nnd wife to he sitting as members respectively of the two highest governing bodies in a country; but such is the case in the Astor family. Upon the death of his father in 3919, Waldorf Astor, by virtue of his right of succession, became 3 member of the British of Lords. Thereupon, bis wife, our handsome Nancy, decided to try # for a seat in tha House of Commons.- She conducted bee campaign with \a* vigor that made her English confreres gasp. She traveled over England making speeches in all sorts of plaeqs and before alt sorts and conditions of people. Tn England it is a common occurrence for people in the crowd to shout ques. tioris to public speakers and to seek to annoy and confuse them by jibes and impertinences. Among American men of almost any class traditional chivalry would protect a woman sppaker from such rudeness, but the lower classes in England do not always have such scru-i pies, and neither tho sex nor the title of Lady Astor rendered her immune to their attacks But her quick American tongua always had an answer to fling back. <>n ono occasion when she was address, lng a meeting of workmen in the ship, yards a man shouted that she would better be at home taking care of hop children. The little lady replied that she was willing to have the condition of her children compared with that of the children of any one present, and she Invited the man to come to hei* house and see for himself. Tho next time she made a speech she brought hep youngest child along as an exhibit. It seems she has five children, the eldest a boy of 15. ADd that reminds me: The other day at a meeting of one of the largo local organizations of women there were five candidates for the offl e of judge of the Juvenile court, who made ten-minute speeches for the purpose of calling atter.. tion to their particular qualifications fop that office, and they all told how many children they had. They even went iurther; they cled with one another. In fact, by the time It got down to tha fifth candidate. It seemed more likely a paternity contest than a political meeting. Some of the women had to take refuse under their ear muffs to hide their amusement. The next day I happened to he in an office where some young women were discussing the speeches of the day befote, "Those men seemed to think we would he more interested in the number of children they had than in anything else.'* said one. "Yes." observed Rnother. "it's funny what cheap bait they thing they can catch us with, isn't it!" But this Is a digression from Lady Astor. Knmor*says that she is expected to come to Lafayette to address the State convention of tho Indiana League of Women Voters, which will meet there May 9 nnd 10. In that case, some enterprising organization must surely bring her to the capital city for a lecture. It would be Interesting to have such an opportunity to compare our illustrious excitlzen with Mrs. Asquith, whose visit is still fresh lu our memories.

Dr. Bishop's Talks By HR. K. K. BISHOP. HE simplest way for the normal person to keep track of his health is by use Weighing scales are veritable health barometers. Although, of I course, there are exceptions to the rule, they generi ally tell one ac- • curately whether 1 one is eating proper food and getting sufficient exercise. Weighing scales are exceedingly important objects for determining health of babies and young children. If a baby consistently gains weight, it Is usually a healthy baby. So, also, for growing children. Some children and grownupe, too, will find when they consult the weight chart attached to many standard weighing scales that they are either over or under normal weight. Such conditions are not healthy if too pronounced'. A physical examination and consultation with a physician will soon find the reason for the abnormality. Change of diet, exercise and such remedies will lively soon show a chauge for the better. One who is careful about his halth wij find it advantageous to rule a little chart upon which be can keep a weekly record of his weight.
