CHURCH PLAYERS GIVE JVERYNIAN’ Well-Known Amateur Actors Will Aid Presbyterian Club, That time-honored morality play, “Everyman,” Is to be produced by an Indianapolis amateurs’ organization, the Players' Chapter of the > Fourth Presbyterian Church,' in the church auditorium, March 21 and 22.

LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON TO JOHN ALDEX PRESCOTT My Dear Jack: I was quite surprised at your news as you had not mentioned to me before the lady whom you are to wed. Are you sure it's ago this time? You know you have informed me so many times that you had met the one and j only girl that I shall never feel you are safely married until I form one of the procession that follows you back I out the church door from the chancel; rail. If you really mean it this time, old ' chap, I certainly will be your best j man, and will try and get away to go j with you to Sharon for the week of the pre-festivities. I ought to do this much for my best friend. I can't help wondering just what that little Paula Perier is going to do? You know you’ve had a bad case on with her for a long time, my boy. I’m seriously afraid she will cut up rough, aren't you? However, all such \ things have an end, you know, and possibly she will take It philosophical- | ly. But you certainly were very much interested in her. Os course I know she is the most, beautiful, the sweetest, the dearest and the most wonderful girl in all the world, but you have told me that before many times. Jack. I suppose there comes into every man's life at last one woman who shuts out all past loves, and makes future ones very difficult. I am anxious to see your paragon, and I am buying anew long-tailed coat purposely for the event. Do you want me to wear white spats? I'll even do that for you. You know we often wondered in our college days which one of us would be the first to marry. Honestly, Jack, I'm glad it’s you, for I'm not ready to give up my liberty just yet, not for the “most wonderful girl in all the world.” By the way, how does that young protege of your mother’s. Priscilla Bradford, take it? I always had a notion that Priscilla, with your mother's abetting and help, would corral you, my boy. I’m glad she didn't, for honestly, she was kind of a pain, don’t you think? I'll see you soon. Jack. Tor I have a business engagement which will take me over to Albany soon, and I am anxious to know how you made your farewells to the little Paula. So long, SYDNEY. LETTER FROM JOHN AI, I)EN PRESCOTT TO SYDNEY CARTON. My Dear Syd: You can bet it’s a go this time, and . want to say to you what I would not j say to any one else, that I'm awfully \ sorry about all those other girls. Now, don’t grin, I don’t mean I'm sorry J

LETTERS afford an opportunity for evidencing culture and charm that never should be neglected. The written word never should be careless, for it usually is accepted literally and it may endure for ages. There is no gesture, no inflection, no smile to help interpret the line one pens. If a letter be anything but good-tempered, it had better never be written.

Letters 1. Invitations. acceptances, regrets and other social notes should he penned, never typewritten. 2. Written words are a poor medium for the expression of emotions, whether they be anger, love or whatnot. 3. No woman should ever write to any man a letter that can be construed as foolishly sentimental or that implies intimacy. 4. No man ever should write any letter in which there could be the slightest intimation that he has received special favors from a woman. 5. Every one should keep in mind that any letter he writes may fall into the hands of someone other than the one for whom it is intended.

for them, for they were probably playing the game just as I was, but I'm sorry that l haven't something to give to Leslie that I never have given or, at least, never pretended to give ‘o any other girl before. This love game, Syd, is a good deal of a bluff, you know. We like to dance with this girl: we like to talk with that girl, we like to buy flowers for another, and kiss still another, but when we find the real girl, the girl that we like to dance and talk with, and buy flowers for, and kiss —then we know that everything else was spurious and we are .ishamed of all that has gone before. I know what you’re saying—“atta boy. Jack.” But, honestly, I am serious at last; when you see Leslie, you will know that 1 could not be otherwise. Syd, the first moment that 1 looked upon her face 1 knew that if anything happened that I could not make her my wife 1 would be the most miserable of men. I was bowled over completely. She is a little below medium height, with the most wondrous blue eyes—eyes that at times look almost black, hair that in tie* sun is brilliant copper. She has an indescribable complexion, like live alabaster lighted by flame, lips of scarlet, and teeth that make you try to keep her smiling. A’ou may not know it, old chap, because you have not met the girl yet, but there comes a time in every man's life when he wants to settle down and become a decent member of society; when he is more than a little ashamed of ajl his pecadlllos, his small vices, his big follies and his general cussedness. Then he is fortunate, indeed, if he finds a girl like my Iyeslie. AVhen you see her. Syd, you will know all I am trying to convey. As for Paula Perier, I have not seen her for a long time. I think she grew quite as tired of me as I was of her. I neither had the time nor the money to spend that gold diggers like Paula expect. The thing that is worrying me now, however, is not my past as much as my future. Leslie is the daughter of a. very rich man. but. like all American fathers, he is holding his slmoleons together very carefully. Neither of his daughters will get anything until he dies. He believes that because he and his wife began on comparatively nothing and worked up, his daughters and the men they marry' should be the same; hut he forgets that he has not brought his daughters up to endure the hardships that his wife endured. I have got to earn more money, and yet I hate to give up my prospects as a member of this firm for a bigger salary somewhere else, just for the present. You see. dear old chap, the responsibilities of a married man have begun already. JACK. Tomorrow: A letter front John Aided! Prescott to Ills fiancee—<> f hopes, yet some fears.

MILLINERY Clusters of fruit, preferably cherries or grapes, are frequently seen hanging off the brims of the coarse straw hats designed for midsummer wear. For immediate wear nothing is more popular than the small cloche of felt or combination of silk and straw. ELABORATE SASHES Gowns of the utmost simplicity are transformed into distinctive creations by the clever manipulations of the new scarfs, in gorgeous colors, which are used as sashes, sleeve i draperies and other adornments. KNITTED COSTUMES Knitted costumes frequently have borders done in Indian patterns or very precise geometrical figures, i Henna and the shades of tan and biege seem to lie the most popular colors for such frocks. LACE FRILLS The lace frill about the neck and cuffs is one of the features of this season’s frock. It is one of the most flattering styles ever invented and will give distinction to the simplest attire. TWO-TON ED EFFECTS The smart monogramrned blouse new comes in colors and is embroidered in a darker shade. Two-toned effects are very stylish. HAIRCLOTH TURBAN The haircloth turban is returning to favor and is frequently trimmed with long, drooping feathers, or even cstrieh. FIRST SUITS” The popular suit model of the present moment is the short belted or box coat, heavily embroidered or branded, accompanying a simple frock with a plain, narrow skirt. JEWELED FROCKS Parisian designers have evolved some lovely dinner gowns of white chiffon embroidered with rhinestones or seed pearls.

I don't believe he has other dates. Although he never has expressed his feeling toward me. and perhaps never will, I feel that I should in some way let him know I never enn like him except is a good friend. Would you advise me to do that? B. M. C. Your idea, shows thoughtfulness. Yes, you can. just by your manner, let the man know that to you he always will fie just a good friend. You can let him know, too, that you accept invitations from other young men just to indicate your feelings. Would Ruin Home Dear Martha Lee: I am 2.2. My husband and 1 are separatist When we were together f had to pay all the bills and he was always asking for money. I work every day. Miss lae, there is a fellow I love better than my husband. But he is married also. He says he loves me. Do you think it wrong for me to see him sometimes, when it means so mueh to me? 1 do not want to break up bis home, but I love him so mueh. BRIGHT EYES. You could not see this man and let him make love to you, os he would do. without breaking up his home. You would not be happy if your love wore based on dishonor. Stop seeing the man.
