Bridge Becomes Passe; Mah longg Is New Rage
M RS. Society IVI entfjrtained with a Mah Pong" party! this afternoon;” perhaps that (is what we will see in the society tcolumns soon if predictions come ,true- This new game ■will take the taiace of bridge, many people feel, ana while it is more expensive it has | many compensation. One could spend some tiiW> merely fingering the attractive bits of ivory with their Chinese figures and numerous significances before even beginning to learn all of the intricate rules and regulations. It Is all the rage in diplomatic circles iff Washington and has taken many cities by storm. Local stores are selling out their orders fast and it looks as though it will not be long before those of us who have spent many hours trying to develop a good game of bridge so as to be among the elite, will find ourselves among the passe because we don’t play Mah Jongg. • • # BASKETS of yellow jonquils tied with lavender tulle carried out the bride's colors at an attractive luncheon given today by Mrs. Victor R. Jose in honor of Miss Laura Woodbridge, whose marriage to Charles J. Foster of Chilicothe, Ohio, Is to taite place April 4. Covers were laid for ten, and following the luncheon the guests hemmed' towels for ■Miss Woodbridge. r• • • Alvin P. Hovey Relief Corps will meet Monday afternoon in G. A. R. Hall on E.

The speakers will lie Charles X. Thompson and John F. White. Mr. White is chairman of the citizens committee appointed to formulate plans for anew markethouse. Members of the Housewives peague BRIDGE NOW PASSE Chinese Game of “Malt Jongg" Is Latest Fad. If you are considering yourself elite and up-to-date because you can boast a good game of bridge you are hopelessly mistaken, because bridge is being quoted as hopelessly “passe” just now. .The intricate, intrigulrg. forbidden Chinese game, “Mah Jongg.” has become the fad and has gained a following including the diplomats in Washington and all of the smart set in most large cities. The new game, which has only recently arrived in Indianapolis, has kb*en the bane of the Chinaman’s ejeFistence for years and is ruled out supposedly over there. It is an admitted gambling device and players have been known to fritter away fortunes and whole days playing the game. A local store has sold out three orders and has only one set left of the fourth. This set is one of the cheapest obtainable, selling-for $25. the better ones are as high as SI,OOO and are made of the finest Ivory, ebony, teakwood, silver and brass. It is played with innumerable little squares, sticks and circles of ivory. MUSICIANS END CONCLAVE Stale Music Memory Contest Is Closing Feature.

WOMEN of today seem bent, upon realizing (lie fullest equality with men. They are not only willing hut eager lo accept the responsibilities that equality imposes. It's in keeping with this tendency of the times that women prefer to pay their own way. The mannerly man never insists on paying when a woman indicates by word or gesture that she prefers herself to pay.
Who Pays' 1. A woman meeting a male acquaintance or friend on the street car, ferry or other low-priced public conveyance properly permits him to pay both fares, If lje offers. 2. A woman chancing to meet a man in the depot, when she Is about to purchase reading matter, candy or some other trifle, phys for it herself. 3. A woman meeting a man on the train pays all her own expenses. Including tips, except that she may be his guest in the diner for not more than one meal. 4. Business girls frequently patronize the same restaurant as business men they know; should chance bring them together for lunch, the girls should ask quietly for "separate checks, please.” 6. A man pays all expenses when a woman is his guest at the ball game, the races or similar places, including score cards, programs and refreshments.

COVERT SUITS Among the season's tailor-mades are many smart models of covert cloth with closely fitting sleeves and plain skirts. They are worn with frilled blouses or fancy vestees. BLACK AND WHITE A gown of black satin has an elaborate front drapery lined with white satin. The lining is slightly revealed and makes an interesting arrangement of black and white effect, which is much more popular than unrelieved black.
IT’S BAD MANNERS for a man, sitting by chance beside a woman acquaintance on a train or boat, to offer to pay for any tiling she buys from a vendor. NEXT: Etiquette for motor cars.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
If You Wish Popularity Then Be Good Natured
IF you wish to be popular, be good-natured. Nobody loves a grouch. But unless you want to be imposed upon, do not be too good natured. Do not let yourself be the kind of person who is thought of, although unconsciously, as a sort of "carry ail” for other people's duties. Be thoughtful of others, but it is not kindness to take away all their burdens and make them selfish. Surprise Yourself My Dear Miss bee: I am 17. a high school graduate, employed in an office. People call me niee-loo'hinfr and say I dress m good taste. I have been told by people that as a child I was very good-natured and took all slaps and rebuffs from my older sisters and brothers; until now they constantly mako me the “boob" of :he family. What can I do to prevent such actions'. While they have pood times, f sit at home. I care very mueh for a certain girl friend, but it seems that we never arc togrethel much. What is wrong with me? It is time for the "worm to turn.” Surprise your family by refusing to be the “goat.” Keep yourself cool, because it would do you no good to flare up, but stick up for your rights. After you begin asserting yourself at home, you will find it easier to do when away from here, That will attract more people to you. I do not mean for you to be aggressive; just do not take a back scat and fold your hands. Condemns Women Drar Mlps I.re: Was the iis?p maids changed to 30 yen r s instead of 251 Am thoroughly disgusted with my srx. about all you see is powder, paint, lipstick, short skirts, loa* necks and no sleeves. About all you hear is clothe;*, dancihp. shows and beaus Why wonder at unhappy hotup? Now women tire taking; upon themselves the responsibility of the business world, why ere they not more sensible and c. m ate themselves for the stand they are taking- in the world, instead of betnir so frivolous? Please do not take me for a pessimist, or consider this due to ni" bring an old maid, for I love pleasure and am jolly, but like t.o dress sensibly and like to devote my mind to niy work when m the office. Love my Ihbie and hate sin I am not defending men’s failures. MISS BOTH. There never was a sot ago fur “ol<l maids.” No woman need bo one, as long as sho keeps her heart young. It does seem as if the majority of women accept the responsibilities of business very lightly. Possibly they go to extremes because they fear business may rob them of their feminine charm. We aro in a period of transition. The “new" American woman has not been fully formed. Wants Old Friend Dear Martha be": I am 19. divorced a’ui have a baby 17 months oM Before I was married t went with a fellow who thought very much of me and still does Next to my hidiy, r love turn. Could you please tell inn some way to locate him ' He floes not know r uni divorced. I am divorced because niv husband went with other women mid *<d drunk. I work and my mother keeps my baby. ANXIOUS. I don't Understand how you know this other man still loves you, If you do not even know where ho is. Don’t try to rush back Into mar rlage, after one unfortunate experience. For your baby’s sake, lie careful. You still are quite young. Friends Only DESPERATE DOLLY: 1. You are not really In love with either of these men, or you would not be so uncertain. Let the first, one understand fas he probably does) that you and he are Just friends. 2. You should find another position, rather than to try to win this second man away from the girl with whom he apparently is in love. You probably Imagine you love him be cause you can not get him. 3. As long as you aro not engaged.

■Martha Lee’s Advice ■
there is no reason you should limit your “dates” to one man. ’4. It is all right to keep up a friendly' correspondence with this man who has asked you to marry him, as long as he understands it Is just a friendly correspondence. Convention Is Cruel Dear Miss Lee: I am 10. My husband and. I separated in November, 1921. I live with my mother and pay the rent and help her I think a lot of a nice girl where I work. Almost every Sunday 1 tell my mother I am aroing over to her house, and she and Igo out with two boy friends. Do you think this Is wrong? Mother does not allow me to keep company with bovs. I want to tell my mother about this, but do not know how. Will you please help me? LONELY BOBBIE. As long as you are legally a wife, in fairness to your own reputation and to the boys, you should not break the conventions as you are doing. That may seem hard to you, but it is best. / 'Postoffice' Again CURIOUS ROSE: The old-fashioned kissing games that were played at parties., are, quite out of style now, so don’t let that worry' you. They were not “right,” of course. Y r es, I think a man could love a girl tep years younger than he; but it would be unusual for a man of 28 to fall seriously in love with a girl of 16. Says He’s Bashful Dear Mias Leo: I am a stranger in Indianapolis and want to get acquainted with a girl, but am very bashful. Is there a “GetAcquaintcd'" Club in Indianapolis? I’lease publish the different thmeing schools DUMB. 1 know of no such club. Church would be the best place for you to go to become acquainted. 1 cannot publish the names of dancing schools through this column. You will find them listed in the telephone directory. Not Worth While Pear Miss Lee: I am 18. I have been going with a boy of 22 for six months I like him and he said he liked me. He got mad because 1 would not let him kiss me. when he naked me for the first time, the oth- night We h:ul an awful quarrel. He said I was silly. I have had several other boys call me silly because I would not let them kiss me Can you please mlvise me how to win hack this boy s friendship? Remember, I will not allow kissing DIMPLES. If this Iroy is a decent sort, he will apologize to you and will a-*k you to forgive him If he does r.fot do this, his friendship is not worth bothering about. / Fiance Is Jealous Dear Miss Lee: 1 am 18 and engaged. My hatc e and I both love to dam e. But he will riot allow me to dance with any one but him If wo stay Jor all of the (lances, wo aro very conspicuous. Please tell mo v hat you think of this. PEGGY. If you have not announced your engagement, you would cause much • ■eminent by dancing only with each oth<r. Even though you have announced it. your fiance is foolishly Jealous. Remind hint that you would enjoy his dances more if you could c#mpare his dancing with that of less skillful partners.

Letter From Leslie Hamilton to Sally Atherton Dear, Dear Sally—l am writing to you because I know you of all my friends will be the one who can appreciate my feelings at this time. I spent .the evening with Bee the other night and she told me that you and your young husband seem to be perfectly happy. Os course I cannot understand, dear, your fetish which you call “the economic independence of women,” and I was quite horrified ■when Bee told me that you intended to keep your position as private secretary for Mr. Sampson, after you were married, although your husband was perfectly able to care for you adequately on his salary. Indeed, Sally, dear, I think that Mr. Atherton is getting quite as much money as is Jack, and we are not only planning on making quite a home, but of entertaining a little as well. “Very Unconventional" Bee tells me that you also were very unconventional in your wedding arrangements. That with the exception of herself, no one was present at the ceremony, which was merely a civil service at the city hall immediately after the license had been obtained. I was quite surprised the other day to find that my young sister, Alice, seemed to have been vaccinated with the same radical idea in regard to marriage and married life. _ I am so very tired with all this hubbub and bustle over my own marriage, that I am almost ready to sym-

pathize with both of you. However, you know mother, and you know she never would be happy unless she made all Sharon society sit up and take- notice of the marriage of her oldest daughter. Besides, I have heard many an old married woman tell with great joy of the pomp of her wedding. Mother has ceased never to bewail the fact that her marriage was -an elopement. I am going to tell you something, Sally, dear, that I have not dared to mention to any one else. It does seem rather incongruous to have a $20,000 wedding trousseau, among which there are a number of things I know I never shall need as the wife of a comparatively poor man, and then have to live on almost as little as I had spent up to that time as my personal allowance. Dad has been very stubborn about settling an income on me. I think he wants to try us out. Some day, perhaps, I may be hocking my rose point wedding veil. (Mother says she bought It for me that I might pass it on to my children and children’s children.) Privately, I think mother is starting in the ancestor business herself. You know John’s family ia strong in ancestors and poor old dad would have to have a ton of pig iron rampant as part of his coat of arms. I do not think he ever knew either his father or mother. He was brought up in aji orphanage. Bee tells me that your married life is to be as thoroughly modern as your wedding was, that each one of ycu will put his share Into the living expenses and each one of you will live the same life as you did before, except that you will have the joy of each other's companionship and love. “Rift in Lute" That sounds perfectly lovely la theory, Sally, but what if you should want to enjoy your husband’s company some evening at the theater and he should -want to go and play poker with some of his friends, what would happen? It seems to me that right then and there would come a “rift in the lute.” Personally, I am inclined to think that, after all, I am an old-fashioned bride. I just want to belong to John, I like to have him say, “We'll do so and so tomorrow or this evening; or nfxt week,” without waiting to ask* me if I would care -to do it. Perhaps I'll change after I’m married, but now it seems as though the sweetest reality that ever has come to me is the fact that I belong to John. Let’s keep up our correspondence, dear Sally, and compare notes after I’m married. I think it will be great fun, don’t you? Sorry you are not able to come to my wedding. Lovingly -k-ours, LESLIE. MONDAY: A letter front Beatrice Grintshaw to Sally Atherton—a contrast in weddings.
