CALIFORNIA GIVES ROYAL WELCOME TO CLUB WOMEN Thousands Pour Into Los Angles as Convention Opens, By HAROLD E. SWISHER, United Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, June 3.—With 6,000 delegates already in the city and others arriving on special trains Los Angeles today was invaded by a feminine host. The convention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, which today opens its National convention here, is the reason. Pre-convention business sessions have been in progress for the past twenty-four hours. * Mrs. Edward Franklin White of Indianapolis was to preside at the legislative division conference this afternoon at the opening meetings. Divisional conferences were held during the afternoon by all standing committee chairmen. Formal Opening Philharmonic Auditorium, the city's largest, will be the Mecca toward which these pilgrims will converge tonight for the formal open ing of the convention, 'which ends June 13. Six thousand clubs, with a membership of more than 2,000,000, are represented. Variegated colors, attractive gowns in a wide range of modes, banners hanging from the balconies or waved heartily by enthusiastic delegates, and the white and yellow badges with their dark blue letters lending a touch of formality and duty to the assemblage—this will be the picture at the opening session of the great event. Extend Welcome Mrs. Joseph Francis Sartori, chairman of the California Local Biennial Board, will extend the west’s welcome to the visitors. Mrs. Sartori's greeting will be seconded by Mrs. John C. Urquhart, president of the California Federation of Women’s Clubs. Outlining the theme of the convention, Mrs. Thomas G. Winters, president of the General Federation, will deliver the “keynote” address at tonight’s session. She will outline the great purposes of clubdom and the aim of this convention —"to extend the influence of women’s clubs toward the elevation of our national life and the achievement of an international will to peace.’ ” Mrs. White Entertained The Indiana delegation is to entertain Friday in honor of Mrs. White, who is candidate for first ■vice president oL the General Federation. An interesting feature was a meeting this morning of the Pioneer Workers’ Club, composed of women who held office in the General Federation before 1900.

‘General Education Foundation for ‘Musicianship Says Mrs. Cowan, Symphony and Concert Critic

By AIARIAN HALE. NEA Service Writer. . ~ BOUT one out of every 400 trained musicians ever gets to the point where he has an opportunity to be heard by the big symphony directors and concert masters. Airs. William Cowan, who hears all the artists selected for public appearance by New York’s "Vending symphonies and stadium concerts, and is herself a pianist of high standing here and in Europe, says the fault lies in early training. “Alost mothers,” she says, "are eager to begin the child's musical education too soon, and cut the general education too short. “The early training for every child, whether he is to study piano, violin or voice, should be an education in musicianship, rather than an attempt at technique and facility with the instrument.” She does not believe in young children being put at the piano for hours of tedious practice before they have some musical background. “One of the most important Kings a mother may do for her child is to acquaint him with the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Dark View of Marriage Leads to *Wild Oats’

To girls who sow “wild oats” as vigorously, if less viciously, than young men are supposed to, marriage means putting themselves on the shelf socially.

They picture themselves taking care of their homes and their children, mending clothes, going to a movie occasionally for recreation, and giving up entirely what they now call their “good times.” They refer to matrimony as “settling down.” They try hard to have all their fun before marriage, in the belief that, once they are established with husbands, life will be rather dull. No wonder so many girls with that outlook do make failures of marriage! They live abnormal lives. They snatch at excitement for a few years and then go into marriage with the idea of making the best of what little life may still hold for them. Oh,Those Bad Habits! Miss Lee: I am a grirl of 16. I am an up-ffWate flapper. I smoke and have several bad habits. I love a man of 35. I know he loves me. He wants me to marry him. But he said I would have to quit all bad habits. I really think I am too young to settle down. What would you advise Ine? A ILAPPER. If, by "settling down,” you mean marrying, as you probably do. I most certainly do think you are too young. If you mean giving up your “bad habits,” you could not be too young. You have the wrong idea, my dear. You are trying to crowd your “good times” into a few short years. Are you getting happiness out of them, or only excitement? Marriage does not mean settling down, the end of all joyousness, to girls who live normal lives. It is only the beginning of anew life, as happy, or happier than the old. But majriage and men should occupy little of your mind now. Don’t

rhythm of his body,” she explains. “Later he should learn to recognize the waltz, schottische and various dance music by its tempo. If a mother can teach her child the various bird calls, she is helping him with the ear training that is so necessary. “From these fundamentals a child soon learns to recognize chords, and can then create his own melodies and even learn to write them properly.” All this is a form of ear training. which she says is most inval uable, because when a child’s ear is trained to catch his own mistakes, he has some idea of what he is working toward. If a child shows considerable ability, of course he may begin earlier, but she believes 12 years is about the right time to start a child at the piano or violin, but the education in musicianship might be begun at 3. “The most common mistake, she says, 'is that of allowing a child TTT (ii.it reevin'- school to device al! h.s time to music.

worry about love for a few more years, if it’s happiness you’re seeking. At Eleventh Hour Miss Martha Lee: I am a girl of 16. I was engaged to a fellow' of 29. I thought I loved him, until the moment I was to be married. We had the license and everything was planned for our future. My parents had no objections to the wedding. But I took into consideration that I never have been out and never have seer the world any. so I broke the engagement. Do you think I did right? EDITH T. I should say so. Another 'Convert' Dear Midi Lee: I am writing in regard to bobbed hair. Some say they are letting bobbed hair grow out again, while others say they are still bobbing and probably will not let it grow out for a long time. Would liko to have the night information, as I am going to have mine bobbed if it is going to last. BROWNIE. Ever since women started bobbing their hair, the practice has been called a “fad,” and many people have said bobbed hair soon would go out of fashion. Despite these predictions, the number of bobbed heads has increased. I make no predictions, but I see no signs of the bob losing its popularity.

TON TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CONTINUED This was my experience, Leslie. A woman who is true to her husband cannot conceive of her husband being untrue to her unless the acts are very flagrant. However, I did not start in to talk about my own troubles to any great extent. Do you know, my dear Leslie, I’ve almost come to believe that your destiny is bound up in that fateful string of pearls. Think of it—one of them stolen, and you got it back without any undue publicity; three of them sold, and you got them back after over six months, when one night think that in the ordinary course of events they might have be£n sold two or three times over. Karl Whitney, my dear, must bo a very sentimental young man. I’m glad you didn't marry him. dear. You’re a lovely, charming woman, but I’m sure you could never lived up to his ideal of you. He is really having more happiness in losing you than he would Igive had had he won you. 4 Humor? I know you’ll see the humor of this, dear, because you're very human. Just now I’m rather concerned about the outcome of your confession to Jack that the pearls are real. He might stand for the gift of the pearls under the circumstahces, but will he stand for the gif* of perhaps fifteen thousand dollars to his wife after her marriage from her former sweeheart, for that's virtually what buying back the precious beads means. I don’t think, dear, we would better plan much on enlarging * the lingerie shop until we know what Jack’s going to do In the matter of the pearls. In fact, I don’t know that I’m quite sure you should tell < him yet. Os course, if it’s going to make you unhappy or anxious, you should do so, but otherwise perhaps it might be one of those things you would better keep to yourself. To Karl Whitney the great moments of his life cluster about your necklace, and while I do not think he is in love with Alice, I think he has endowed her with a great many of your attributes. When he finds she hasn't them he wifi ho

It rather amuses me to think that in the supposedly placid life of Mrs. John Alden Prescott Jr. there is so much romance, so much adventure, so much suspense. I am quite sure that none of your friends would dr#am that you have had more drama In your life than I have had in mine, hut it is so. Mine was an explosion in one act, and yours promises to be a continued story In which the suspense will probably last through many volumes.
