FRIENDS MAY WASTE YOUR TIME, BUT THEY’RE WORTH IT

Life Is Contact With People Even if They Do Bother You Sometimes With Idle Talk-—But, Girls, Don’t Telephone Men at Their Offices. By Martha Lee Whose time do you waste? Time is one of the most valuable things we possess, any of us—business people or home makers.

Yet the very person who would hesitate to take from us the tiniest ‘if our material possessions, will steal tj'.antities of time and do it with joyful abandon. “How's everything? 3 * inquires the affable caller with oceans of time he doesn’t know what to do with and once seated, his flow of conversation like the brook babbles on forever. “I just thought I'd drop in,” remarks Mrs. Gad to her neighbor. And the neighbor who had planned to make the morning count, sees it slip slowly but surely away while her exuberant caller has the best time in the world. The time waster who absolutely lakes the blue ribbon though, does his or her work over the telephone. The phone rings. You can't ignore it —who ever knows what weighty message a telephone may be bringing'.’ Then — Rut there's another side. •'My friends waste oceans of time for me. I bet that, telephone rings a dozen times a day,” a bright little woman I know once remarked. ”1 could snub them or cut them short, but, after all, do I want to? Life is contact with people, and although 1 sometimes feel occasperated, 1 guess giving them your time and thought is one way a person pays for his friends —and friends are the most valuable thing in the worldeven more valuable than your time.” What do you think? They Waste His Time De/ir Martha Lee: Won't you say something in your columns about Kiris who sit at a telephone and waste a man's time during business hours? Ive a lot of eii-l friends who think it's quite all right in i alI mo about little social matters, and then keep right on talking for half an lioni at a time. A man is just about helpless when this happens. What would you say glumt this? MARK. 1 don't approve of girls calling men at their office during business hours unless the matter is imperative. It's strange that the most ad-dle-pated girl wouldn't realize that a man’s, time belongs to his employer—if be has one, and that it’s money to him, if he’s in business for himself. But so many don't realize this, that I guess about the only wuy out of it Mark, is to cultivate a brusque, rapid-fire tone and manner when you answer the phone. However, it's nice to have a circle of friends who think enough of you to keep inviting you places—some fellows don’t you know, and would give a lot to hear the tinkle of the phone as you do. Advantages and disadvantages—they balance in this matter.

Has Never Proposed Dour Maltha Lee: I have been reading your column, and as you have solved problems for so many, thought jou would übio lo solve one for inr. lam a young vomun of ;n and have been kreplng com-l-any with a young man for about seven i ninths, with whom I am very much in no. Ho seems to care for me and is scry attentive, but has never proposed, i would like to have a home of my own, and do you think I should continue keeping company with him or should I try to lorgct him? MISS L. B. Well, he’s not to be censured for waiting this long before declaring Ills feelings, but he really should give some indication before long. If you love him, you would scarcely discontinue Ills acquaintance because lie lias not yeti proposed. Os course you can't force love. You'll know before loirg, I'm sure, whether he Is simply amusing himself. About all you can do, is wait. That’s hard, of course, but this may turn out ideally. She Talks of Others Dear Martha Lee: I am in love with a girl Hi years old. I worshif* tho ground she walks oil. She says she loves me, but sometimes she mentions the lod fellows she has been with, and I can hardly believe her. I don't know what to think about it. She doesn't go with anyone now. only me. she said she would go through anything lor me. Give me your advice. HEARTBROKEN. I think you have nothing to worry about. It's a common trait of girls to love to talk about their beaus. Keep on with the Romeo recipe and see if she doesn’t in time convince you that she also is in earnest.

The WOMAN’S DAY

■By Allene Sumner

Grace is one of those women who pride themselves on the fact that they are “not joiners" whenever the "rest of the bunch” begin “getting up” a bridge club or a local branch of the National Business and Professional Women’s Club, or an Altrusa or Zonta branch, or a local Women’s City Club, or whenever Grace Is invited to join the dub of her own profession, the Women’s Advertising Club, she only says: ”1 am sorry, but lam not a joiner.” • Sometimes Grace will elaborate her theme when the pressure is especially heavy. She once joined clubs and learned many things. She learned that women in organizations are .cats, that someone is always get- | ting her feelings hurt, that all the dub amounts to is a more,or less polite and well-bred free-for-all women fight as one woman tries to get more popularity or authority than another. Out for No. t Grace says that they til ways want one to be on a committee of one sort or another, and that eventually one finds oneself just chasing from one committee luncheon meeting to another, with no particular worthwhile results. Grace says that she works bard all day and she wants no more responsibilities on the side—that she prefers a book or a play or a confab with her own friends to organized companionship. And 1 could add a string of et ceteras, when Grace really “gets to going.” , Something In It Now there is no little in what Grace says. One always finds catty women in clubs, working for personal glory. If one joins a club one is called upon for work, sometimes uninteresting work and at inconvenient moments. Organized companionship truly is not so pleasant as more personal companionship—it tete-a-tete with a chosen friend because one wants to be and talk with that friend at just such a time. Mrs. Babbitt Speaks But, on the other hand, Mrs. Babbitt though I may be called for so remarking, does not the old old law of compensation work here? Gain for loss! And, in the case of club membership, I wonder if the gain does not offset the loss. I have observed these “non-join-ers” for a long time. They prattle of their choice of personal rather than organized- companionship. But I have observed that they do not seem blest with an overdose of the means an effort. The friend must be summoned or gone unto. It’s easier, perhaps, not to bother at catching said friend on the phone, but running out to lunch alone. Inevitably one finds oneselif alone more and more, following the line of least resistance of "not bothering” and going home to the book or the radio. Can She Afford It? Looking at the question crassly, can a professional or business woman afford to be “a non-joiner.” Is anyone so self-sufficient that she can forever give forth from herself without an occasional replenishment of mind and spirit which comes from contact with the tilings that other people ure doing and thinking? A Real Job To be sure, the job of being sociable is a real job. At tho actual time when one must be sociable, the quiet evening often looks far pleasanter. But it is the old, old story of storing up grain for ihe future. Time will come when friendship is sorely needed. It does not come in a

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WIVES AND JOBS

By Mrs. Walter Ferguson It is quite true, as an indignant woman recently charged, that the vast number of married women who invade the business world lessen a girl’s chances of getting a job. While it seems only just that Ihe employer should give the preference to the girl rather than to the wife j who has a husband to support her, still in a number of instances this is not done. Most people feel that the wife who leaves her own job, that of making a # home, in order to procure for herself a few extra luxuries, is exhibiting the qualities of poor sportsmanship. And it is true that these parasites, whose husbands are able to support them in comparative comfort, should be given small consideration in the business world. But—

The increasing number of married who work out does not testify to the fact that business men are always cold and hard. It merely means that there are today more women who are forced by circumstance to seek outside employment, or that the economic pressure has become so great that the women of the family must earn money, or. a fact that is also much In evidence, that an increasing number of men are ineomjietent, without pride and worthless. For it Is indeed true that a large number of professional and business women are compelled to support dependent relatives who were, prior to this decade, always looked after by the men of a family. And then, few are the girls who give the same sort of service to a job as a married woman. And perhaps this last fact is th? main reason ' why so many married women are wage earners. For girls are, after all, occupied chiefly in seeking mates. Unconsciously, all of their interest is engaged in this perpetual quest of nature, and the life force which resides in them is the strongest part of their being. They are not often attached to a job merely through love of the work, unless they have reached the age where they have resigned the thought of home and husband. They are filled

—By Martin

with the exuberance of youth, and no employer is startled when they give notice with the excuse that they are to be married. The woman who is already settled in life and has recovered from the fever of love can give her main fittention to the work at hand. The married woman will continue to invade the business world with success so long a.i she gives better service than the young girl.

Here Are Exercises for Dainty Ankles

BY NINON For NBA Service.NEW YORK. Jan. 29. —Beauty may begin with the face, hut it does not end there —Miss America’s ankles are as critically considered as her nose when it comes to handing out the title to the beauty champion. Some defects of the figure can be reduced to the minimum by a deft manipulation of 'stripes and drapes, rape backs or short or long waisted effects. But every ankle, in these short-skirted days has to stand on its own merits. We admire' peasant bobs, peasant embroideries and color effects, but the peasant ankle has never made the grade—and it never will. The world is sold on the slender ankle. If you are one of many handicapped with a too generous ankle, it will be worth your while to fight it off if it takes till summer. Thin Arms, Thick Legs. The ample ankle does not always accompany the overweight body. Overweight women often have delicate ankles, and slender bodies and skinny arms are apt to pair up with a thick ankle. This particular beauty defect plays no favorites. The remedy is EXERCISE. Os general exercise, dancing, swimming and hiking are most beneficial. By dancing, I mean classical dancing; not the ballroom type or the Charleston. This gives you the grace and lightness on your feet that banishes heavy ankles. But for an aggravated ease more specific remedies are advisable. You have to concentrate right on the particular region. One consideration mitigates the curse. You can exercise your ankles any time, while riding on the street

Saint aid Sinner By ANNE AUSTIN

Wealthy RALPH CLUNY. 68. was murdered Just before he was to have married frivolous CHERRY LANE. 18. Immediately Cherry disappears leaving, a note for her sister. FAITH, saying she could not go on with the wedding. Cherry s elopemert with CHRIS WILEY become! known. News of the murder is kept from Cherry’s invalid mother, but she knows of Cherry’s marriage. Cherry has been engaged several times , Once she tried to run away with ALBERT ETTELSON a married traveling salesman, and was rescued by her sister and DOS HATHAWAY. Faith's fiance and nephew of Cluny. Cherry admits that Cluny attempted to force the marriage but protests her innocence. . Faith suspects Chns Wiley, thinking he knew that Cluny had willed much money to Cherry. Charles Reilly heii. who drew un the will, testifies that Clunj’ made Cherry his chief benefleiarv whether or not she married him. The coroner’s jury releases Cherry, but immediately she snd her husband are arrested by DEVLIN, deputy district attorney. Faith is furious when Bob tells her ATTORNEY STEPHEN CHURCHILL, whom he employed, thinks circumstances are against Cnerry and auggests a plea or solf-defense as the best chance of her freedom, • ... , , Peculiar footprints and a bit of torn strap suggest that the murderer might be a cripple, but this evidence is not presented. _ , Cherry is Indicted for first -degree murder. The news is fatal to her mother. “Long” Lane nudged his sister when they had again taken their seats. “There’s Stephen Churchill, bowing and smiling to you.” Faith forced her tight lips to smile at her sister's lawyer, who was busily assorting papers at a long table in the enclosure between the judge's box and the first row of seats. "Banning’s as busy as a pup with fleas,” “Long” whispered with a determined effort to be cheerful. “Look, he’s bowing, too, the dirty hyprocrite!” “Sh-h-h!” Faith implored him, as she inclined her head unsmilingly in acknowledgement of the district attorney’s greeting. “Don’t hate him so!” Bob’s low voice begged her. “He’s only doing his duty, dear. Ah, here comes Cherry. Brave girl!” Faith gripped Bob’s hand hard to restrain her impulse to rise from her seat and rush to the girl who stood for a moment, as if taking a deep breath before a plunge into icy waters. As she stood there, guarded on either side by a deputy sheriff, detailed to bring her to and from the county jail which adjoined the courthouse, she was a gallant little figure, head held high, a rich, natural color

cars, attending the theatre, or while performing a "rhapsody on the typewriter. You may look a bit agonized, but think how marvelous you will look when the reducing days are over. Chorus Girls Use It. Here is one all the chorus girls swear by: Sit comfortably in a straight-backed chair, which means that you nestle your back in its back, and cross your legs in the pres-ent-day approved fashion. Then stretch out the raised foot and describe a circle with one foot, until your ankle is tired: then reverse your position and give the under foot its chance. Y'ou ciin vary this sometimes by pointing instead of making a circle—point as far out and at each side iis you can. The point is to feel the stretch and pull. Exercise In Bedroom. As you lie in bed, hating to get up and put down the window, stretch your foot as far as you can, and then stretch out your toes. Clench your foot into as compact a ball as you can. This is not only good for your ankles, but for your arches as well. Your feet were really intended to do much more scrambling and clutching than they get a chance to in shoes on even pavements. It is better for them if you keep some of their old resistance In them. Incidentally badly fitted shoes, particularly those that are too short or too high-heefbd contribute to the lie.avy ankle because they make it impossible for the foot to be easy and comfortable, so it avoids all exertion. The next step is for it to thicken.

on her lovely little face, her golden eyes, shadowed by the violet circles of grief and lack of sleep, wide and bright with interest in the drama In which she had run away to be marlied to Chris Wiley, and crushed over the gorgeous copper-and-gold curls was the brown velour bat which was so extraordinary becoming to her. A gasp of admiration rose from the completely filled auditorium—a great, gusty sigh of pure pleasure in the sight of a creature so wholly lovely. Chris Wiley, also guarded by two deputy sheriffs, was hardly paid the compliment of a glance. -Stephen Churchill hurried to greet her with ceremonious cordiality, but before he reached her side, her wide, grief-shadowed eyes had sought for and found her father, brother and sister. She raiseckher right hand in an almost gay salute, while her unrouged lips, colored a deep coral now by excitement, curved in their most adorable, little-girl smile. There was nothing of guilt in her face or manner—nothing of the crushed, remorseful, trapped criminal —but neither was there the reckless bravado, the unfeeling gayety, of which at least two feature writers later accused her. That she was not wearing mourning for her mother was also against her, even by the women writers who had been most friendly to her. It did not occur to them that there had been no opportunity for the imprisoned girl to purchase a mourning costume. Faith was so absorbed in studying her little sister that her brain did not comprehend a third of what went on so rapidly after Cherry and Chris Wiley were led to the bar. District Attorney Banning read a legal document which Faith dimly realized was tlm indictment. Stephen Churchill, as defense counsel, entered a pica of “not guilty” to the charge of murder, and made tho usual gesture of asking for a dismissal of the indictiuents, as well as of demanding bail for his prisoners, which was of course refused —as Churchill had known would be. Within fifteen minutes after Cherry had entered the courtroom, Judge Grimshaw had set the case of the State versus Charity Lane Wiley—how odd her name sounded In Faith's ears!—and Christopher Agnew Wiley, for the January term of court. NEXT: Father and son are brought together in despair and sorrow. (Copyright, 1927, NEA Service, Inc.
