THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DEMOCRAT WOMEN STAGE BRILLIANT SOCIALFUNCTION'S Fair Sex Meets Day in Advance of National Committee at Washington, By SOCIETY HOSTESS (Copyright, 1924, by United News) WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—The hand that rocks the cradle and pours the tea undoubtedly swayed the movements of the Democratic party when its national committee met in Washington this week. Plans for dominating the choice of a convention city and enlarging the women’s representation were made over gleaming luncheon tables, or between the flickering lights of many tall ©andles in stately rooms. The Democratic women, some of the smartest women in American : society, gathered for the committee meeting one day in advance, and were j first entertained at luncheon at the Hamilton Hotel by the National Women's Press Club. Among those present were Mrs. John Blair, New York; Mrs. Benton Macmilan, wife of the former Governor of Tennessee, one of the beauties as well as one of the most brilliant of the official Democratic women, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who is a Roosevelt h,?rself aa well as married to one, and who has ali the Roosevelt physical characteristics, and dainty Mrs. Bernice Pyke, of Cleveland.

Mrs. Wilson Is Guest The same evening Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, vice chairman of the national committee, entertained the women at dinner. Guests of honor present were Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, classic In w'hite, and the handsome Mrs. Cordell Hull. * A certain shyness seemed to strike the ladies from the blase East when dainty cigarettes were passed, for they looked at their less sophisticated western colleagues and heroically said, "No. thank you." Clubhouse Is Opened On Tuesday evening the new Democratic Women’s Clubhouse on Connecticut Ave. was opened by a housewarming attended by a brilliant gathering. Mrs. J. Borden Harrlman. with an unprecedented good humor and a striking blue velvet gown, greeted the g-uesrs. Assisting her were Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, regal as a queen In a straight Mack gown; Mrs. Frank Hiram Snell, holding her Inevitable cigarette in a chic Paris holder made of a ring on a little silver stick, and Mrs. Antoinette Funk, who insisted she was the most kissed woman in Washington—by women. Former Senator J. Hamilton I>>w'.h, his pink whiskers turning a little grey, was on hand as usual, the gallant for every lady, steadily rising to please even the most plain.

—— ■—Martha Lee Says , ■ , , Wives Given Credit For Patience in Marriage “A wife will take more abuse and continue to live with a man than a man would take and continue to live with his wife.'* Not a woman, defending her sex, but a man, makes that statement. He bases it on observation, evidently, as he says his own life has been ideally happy.

Many husbands are long-suffering, slaving day after day for wives who take all and give nothing, it Is true. But, in many more cases, it is the wife who strives to keep her household together, to win back her husband’s love when she sees It slipping. That is natural. Even in this day of the new woman,” to most wives the home is the center of the universe. A wife sees the slightest indication that her home is in danger, while a husband, occupied with business, may go on blindly until he suddenly finds himself without wife or home. Because her home is her whole life, a wife sacrifices and suffers more for It, clinging to love and her husband as long as there is the slightest chance for happiness. Man Defends Wives Mis# Martha Le: I gee wuere on wife write* that *he is 26 and her husband 41, and he wolds her. I cannot understand how a man at that axe can help appreciating a sweet young wife. She is something to be pround of. If this man would curb his temper, and see that he has no faults before he sees his wlfes, he would not have so much to say. I am 39. My wife is 22. We have been married five years. I love my wife better today than 1 did when we were sweeahearts. We have a 23-month-o!d baby boy and I never get too tired from business to have a kiss or loving word for my wife and baby. And It is returned tenfold. A wife will take more abuse and continue to live with a man than a man would take and continue to live with his wife. My wife does all her housework, but she keeps neat and tidy, and that goes a long way with a man. HAPPY HUSBAND. That Triangle Again Dear Miss Lee: 1a... 31. My wife is 21. We have been married five years and have a daughter 3 years old We were happy until a few- months ago. when another man stepped in. I am separated from my wife and baby for the second time in six months. My wife denies this other man had anything to do w;th our troubles. but actions speak louder than words. She wants me to go my way and let her go hers, but for the baby's sake. I cannot do this. While we were living together, she said she did not love me and she wanted a divorce. Her only excuse Is that she married too young I agree, but it is too late to remedy that. She would go out to dances and parties and public places, and would object to my going along. Should I get a divorce and should I allow her to keep the baby? Or should I let things go along as they are? I have always been good to her and have furnished a good home. DENIM. Sounds to ms as if you were too good to your wife; you let her run you. I agree with you absolutely In your dt termination to rebuild your home, if possible. Your wife probably doe3 lcve the baby. But is she capable of rearing her as she should be reared without your help: I’d suggest that you give her fair warning that. If you get a divorce, you will ask custody of the baby. That should he enough to make her reconsider. Should you succeed In getting your wife to return to you, change your tactics in dealing with her. See that .the has some of the pleasures for which she yearns, but have them with her. Her objection to your accompanying her cannot stand, I am sure. Make love to your wife as you did when you were first married. As she grows older, she will realize her re spcnsibilitles. At the Ball Dear Mis* Lee: 1 What is the proper thing to say when a young man thanks a lady for a dance' 2. What shou and you say when anyone asks you to forgive him? 1. A gTacious nod and smile suffice. Or you may indicate that you enjoyed the dance. 2. That’s too broad a question to answer in my limited space. The response depends entirely on the circumstances. Left Waiting Dear Mia* Lee: 1 am going with a boy two years my senior. He took me out riding He acted very nice. When we got home, he a-ked me what my religion was, and I to'd him. He said he would call me up Tuesday, but he did not. Do you think I should go with this boy? He is very handsome. PEGGY ANN The boy owes you an explanation of his failure to call. Your further actions depend on that.

SATT7KDAY, JAN. 19, 1924

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO RLTH ELLINGTON, CONTINUED It was nearly a week, however, Ruth, before Jack acted as though he had forgotten what he had asked me about you. In the meantime it was very uncomfortable about our house. He did not pay a particle of attention about little Jack, because you see I had countered his inquiries about you with inquiries about little Jack’s parentage and that always brings the blood to Jack’s face. I wonder if I had a woman frienl that I would protect her as Jack does Sydney Carton. Some day he will have to tell me all about this Paula Perier's and Sydney’s affair but Just now there is nothing that makes him so angry as any reference to it. In time, however, Jack began to act as though he had dismissed you and your affairs as trivial. I think In his own mind he had come to the conclusion that Harry had sent you some money and with my connivance you had kept it from his creditors. So you see where you get off with him after he finds you prowling around in my safety vault trying to deposit a nice roll of bills —that safety deposit vault In which he is not privileged to intrude. I am so glad you have the pearls, dear, but to tell the truth I wish Karl Whitney had them—had never been so silly as to have given them to me. I do not know why I did not send them to Alice. That would have save! me a h*a D os trouble. Before 1 come home I am going to try and see If I can buy back those pearls I 6old. Then I can send the whole string back to Karl and he can give them to whom he pleases. Os course I shall have to tell Jack that I lost them or make up some other story to account for their loss. I wonder, dear, if fooiish little mistakes as Karl’s giving me this spring of pearls can make such great perils in the married life of other people. You see, everything imperfectly legitimate and all right about them. There is no other man considered in the case. The triangle Is Just Leslie and Jack and a string of pearl beads. It really Is to laugh, dear, and yet I have a premonition that some day something is going to happen that will make me w'ish I had never seen them. Dad and mother left yesterday and after I have made the purchases you wish me to make for the shop and looked up my chances of getting the pearls back, I sha’l leave for home. Presume I will leave tomorrow morning. Our friend Prissy (what a lovely name that is for her) has returned to Mother Prescott w'ith all her venom Intact, for I do not see her about the hotel any more. I want you to meet that nice Englishman that I write you lbout. He says he is coming to our town. You will like him, Ruth. He is a real man. Until I see you, Lovingly, LESLIE.
