Kerchief Shower for Miss Fatout i Miss Edna Bclz entertained this afternoon with a luncheon at the Indianapolis Athlecic Club, followed by bridge and a handkerchief shower at her home, 3038 Fall Creek Blvd., in honor of Miss Frances Elizabeth Fatout, who will wed Frank Hugh Alexander, Sept. 17. The flowers, appointments and favors were carried out in the bridal colors, yellow, green, and orchid and the gifts were presented to the bride-elect in a decorated hat box carried by Little Patsy Moore. Mrs. P. F. Balz assisted her daughter. With Miss Fatout covers were laid for: Mezdames Ansel Fatout W. K. Moore George A. Van Dyke, Jr. Misses Aileen Noblitt Mary Ann Adams Eleanor Raub Evjlyn Barnes Helen Lfcw Alma Lucas Katherine Warrender Lucille Tyner Wives, Stop Criticising, Husbands BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON I listened to some women recently talking about their husbands. Every one of them was well dressed, most of them wore sizable jewels, their cars waited at, the curb, and at the end of the afternoon those same cars would take them to homes of more than average comfort. "I guess men are all alike," one woman was saying. “The minute John knows I want to go a place he makes up his mind he isn’t going to budge a step.” A little later another woman flickered the ash from her cigaret. “ ‘Maid,’ did you say? You don’t suppose I have a maid, do you? The age of miracles is not yet here. The maid isn’t born who would stay at our house two minutes with Tom tearing it up the way he does. Fishing tackle, and guns, and heaven knows what, all over the place. The English idea of a gunroom is good, if it is medieval. Wish I had one; then Tom couldn’t clutter up the place like a barracks. He is absolutely without any idea of order. Not one of you would live with him a minute. Sometimes I’d rather not have a house—or a husband,” she added. , Each of them knew the reproof was merited. It seems to be a habit bf some women to discredit their husbands behind their backs. It isn’t often that one hears a man tell of his wife’s habits—at least as a master of light gossip. Why is it that so many women do?

Black Broadcloth BY HENRY BENDEL NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Sept. B.—Fall and winter coats are getting decidedly class conscious. Moreover, if I may continue the thought, there are day and night shifts which, in the interests of good taste, should never work for each other. For years women just bought “a” winter coat and let it go at that. Capitalist America has changed all that. The great class of tweeds, camel’s-hair novelty goods coats that, swank their way to sportive smartness for travel wear, for

Mere Physical Beauty Gives Scant Happiness

BY MARTHA LEE A woman should be lovely at every age. That is her responsibility to herself and to her sex. Not always is a woman loveliest at a youthful period of life. Some women, commonplace and uninteresting as girls, develop real charm and interest in what we term middle age. 'History records many instances of women who absolutely never lost their admiring following, even when they were o’d in years. It is logical to suppose that charm of manner and mini must have been the big items in their continued power to please.

It is difficult for women who have been considered beautiful in the freshness of their youth to realize that life can ever make up to them for fading complexions, graying hair, changing lines of face and figure. They overlook the fact that these possessions of theirs were of no special benefit to others. The later unselfish reach out to others, the turning away from constant contemplation of one’s own physical charms, which youth rarely or never does, develops the loveliness which was never on sea or land” but which heartens and helps the people with which the older woman comes in contact. Once the 'Prettiest Girl’ Dear Martha Lee: So many times I Just feel like life is not worth living:. I was once considered the prettiets girl in our town, but now that I am approaching fifty years of age. I just hate to look at my self. My hair Is real gray and nobody looking at me would ever believe that I once haa dozens of men at my beck and call. I am married and my husband Is away tnpst of the time and I have no relations here and it Just seems like there Is nothing of interest In my life. I Just feel like ,an old woman and yet my mother died at •past 90, so I will perhaps have many useless years to look forward to. Sometimes I Just Wish I would never wake up when I go to sleep. MRS. VAN L. I hope a lot of pretty girls read your letter, Mrs. Van. It illustrates so well that a woman who has nothing but physical beauty is indeed holding to a rope of sand if she counts upon it for life happiness. Now if you will forget about your past beauty and try to make yourself worth While in other ways, you can be the happiest kind of person in no time. If your husband is not opposed, it would be wonderful to take a little homeless child to rear. That would give you something besides yourself to think about. If this is impossible, join some organization whose purpose is to aid others. Look around your immediate vicinity. Aren’t there folks for whom you could do kindnesses—old folks, or struggling girls, perhaps, to whom the big-sister or motherly friendship could mean so very much? At any rate, your salvation lies in getting interested in someone besides Mrs. Van. "Anxious” and her husband Joked about something that had happened in the experience of a young man whom she calls “R.” Later her husband mentioned this to “R” and the young woman, on the impulse of the moment, wrote a rather apologetic letter to him. Now she is worred that she did so, fearing “R” will misunderstand her letter as he is a former suitor of hers. I should give no worried thought to it, Anxious. You should not have written, I think. If apologies were in order, your husband should have tendered them. However, drop all thought of It now. If “R” communicates with you about this, explain frankly and clearly that you wrote on the impulse of the moment, but had no motive other than that which appeared pn the surface. “V. G.” is 17 and has a boy friend of whom she is very fond. “In fact, I am sure I love him,” she says.” At first he acted all right, but now he is saying things to me that no boy has ever said. What shall I do?” You should drop his acquaintance without any delay unless he comes back to his former manner, V. G. Your letter indicates that you are weighing in your mind, the possibility that you can listen to this boy and keep to your present ideals. You can’t. It’s too dangerous- Don’t play with fire, j

Beige Wool, Panther Trimmed i tramping, foe shopping and other morning wear, is separate and distinct from the semi-formal class designed to enhance one’s attractiveness at a discreet luncheon, a matirtee or for calling. East, and most gorgeously exclusive, is that ever growing class of aristocratic coats that work only for the night shift—evening coats designed for the opera, gorgeous balls, dinner dances or other brilliant functions after night has fallen. Materials, cuts and trimmings differ in the three classes, too. For the semi-formal coat this season

Velvet Evening Wrap broadcloth appears as a contender for the lead in popularity. I have always thought broadcloth one of the most lady-like of materials and so feel it is especially appropriate to have it come in again just now when the style pendulum swings back to more feminine styles. For evening wear, velvets are predominately the thing. I use velvets for many semi-formal coats for afternoon wear but its beauty is always heightened under the glow of evening lights so it has an enviable position for evening materials. I show today two afternoon coats, in the semi-formal class and one evening wrap. The evening wrap, inglorious autumnal shades of chiffon velvet, is a veritable fan in shape, with its circular gores centering to hug the neck. I use the down-in-the-back curve, which is particularly well suited to any circular garment. The fropt has a straight closing, with the collar of the lightest beige shade forming a throw which can be tossed over the shoulder or worn hanging. The lining is of sandal wood silk crepe and has a big pouch pocket inside to accommodate the opera glasses, kerchief and makeup. .Reminiscent of bygone days is the chic black broadcloth with its nipped-in waistline, its soft surplice closing and circular skirt portion. The sleeves are as tight as those of the fitted bodices of the late ’eighties but an entirely new note is the jaunty little flat, kite-like flap that flies out at the elbow. Brown bear fur trims this coat, in much the manner of the becoming stole of yesteryear. The collar is huge, both becoming and warm, and the manner in which the fur ripples down the closing is individual. This coat is extremely effective when worn with the tight hat shown, one of the newest of. the cap-hats that hug many a head to smartness this season. That Coolie Motif The third coat shows the Chinese coolie coat influence, as did most of the smartest summer coats. This is the first winter coat that I have cut with this type sleeve and body. The finest of green novelty mixture fashions it and beige wool velour lines it. Shirred panther, dyed beige, emphasized the coolie sleeves by an exaggerated cuff extending above the elbov , giving a note of luxury to the ccat. The long scarf of fur may be worn loose on warm days while It will lend itself as a throw around the throat when the winds grow sharp. This coat may be wrapped around the body to give that slender line so dear to the modern woman, or it may be held more loosely, giving the native flare of real coolie coats. The fur trimming, the rich lining and the color and fineness of the coat’s texture make it alluring to the woman who likes luxury in all her garments and soft becomingness in coats. GIVE BRIDGE PARTY FOR VISITORS, TEACHER Miss Margaret Kluger, Miss Hildegarde and Miss Lillian Kluger, 738 E. Orange St., entertained Wednesday evening with five t ables of bridge in honor of Miss Esther Renfrew, who has returned to Indianapolis to resume her work on the Butler faculty, and Mrs. W. D.

Lead small card to dummy and finesse King. Insistence for Truth to Utmost BY ALLENE SUMNER I think her about the most wonderful woman I have ever known. But many people think her “an unnatural mother,” hard unfeeling and "dead to all decency.” Her only little boy, a beautiful child to look at, until one stes the emptiness in his eyes, is feebleminded. Nothing, say the be,t doctors of America, can bring understanding into those blue wells of nothingness, lis eyes. The best imaginable heredity could not prevent it. Something went wrong. Malformed, they say. The boy so beautiful of body, is only an empty shell who feels neither his mother’s kisses nor her tears. She, a a oman of the queikest, finest perceptions, who thrills to evening star and morning sunrise, to chord of music and the thunderous rhythm of mighty words marching together, knows that this child of hers can never respond with her. She not only knows it, but she admits it. Oh, not generally. She is no woman to wear htr cross abroad, but it has seeped out from the rare overflowings of a too-full heart that she has even herself called her own child “feeble- ninded.” Was It Pride? “My grandmother had a child like that,” one of the critics said, “and she’d no more have admitted that he was that way than cut off her own head! She called him ‘delicate,’ and the most she ever said was that he was ‘a little backward.’ Women had pride in those days!” It may have been pride, and then again it may have been mere dishonesty and cowardice. It may have been fear of looking life m the face and daring to be brave even if by looking one saw nightmarish things. This woman “unfeeling?” I have seen her pound her pillows and scream, “I can’t bear it! I can’t bear it, but I must!” I have known the woman since the days we wore each other’s dresses to school. I know that she is afraid of only one thing, and t at thing is mental dishonesty. Shj is afraid that she, too, deluding herself with lie* and sidesteppinrs, will call imbecility “delicacy.” She is afraid of dramatizing her situation, of finding solace by being heroine of a drama called “Wounded Mother Love.” Ultimate of Truth She goads herself Into seeing things for what they are and yet bearing them. This is no case of not only calling a spade a spade, but al3o calling it a darned old shovel. It’s no case of spreading her cross abroad. But it’s insistence on truth. I have been thinking of the rarity of mental honesty while reading a gripping new book, “An American Saga,” by Carl Christian Jensen. The frontispiece picture interested me first. * This picture shows the author working in his home. He sits before a plain kitchen range, a tea kettle on the lid. He sits in a plain rocker. It looks like a highly varnished golden oak. He is writing by one of the funny old acetyline lamps. Simplicity. Unpretentousness. Honesty. Unsparing of Family He tells about his family in the book. He was bom over the cobbler’s shop in a tannery yard. His mother fed her brood on oxtail soup made from the reeking tails which she slashed from the hides in the tannery. He tells of his father’s aunt who was an old beggar woman; of his father’s brother who was “a bleary-eyed drunkard, who died in delirium tremens chewing bed straw;" of the probable cousin serving ninety-nine years for murder in an American prison; of “the peat hag” woman and her idiot children who were their neighbors. These revelations are given not in pride aild not in shame. But merely in honesty by one who seems to find life too big to argue with or deny. Schumann-Heink’s life story is another refreshing document of truth; of admission of facts over which one has no control—such facts as poverty and weakness in self and others. Plans Breakfast Mrs. Leonard A. Murchison of Chicago, who is the house guest of her mother, Mrs. E. R. Schreiner, 4226 Carrollton Ave., will entertain with a breakfast Friday morning at the Maroiit in honor of Miss Melissa Jane Cornelius, who will wed Ralph Polk Saturday at the Irvington M. E. Church.

‘Wimmin ’Do Not Intrigue { This Fellow BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Some fellow by the name of Beverly Nichols, has taken his pen in hand, and set down in purple letters just exactly what he thinks of women. And oh, boy! He does give to a waiting world a few reasons why he is going to die a bachelor. This persecuted and harrowed soul finds himself perpetually surrounded toy swarms of young girls who are determined to marry him. And how majestically he spurns them; He chuckles at their crude methods of angling for husbands. He is never deceived by their disgraceful antics, or their fulsome flatteries. No, sir! He is the original Wise Bird. Nobody is going to*put anything over on him. Toots Own Horn Throughout a long magazine article he chants his praises, and pays tribute to his wisdom. He leads an existence entirely free from feminine fretfulness. But his pet complaint is the ancient legend that says, “It takes a woman to make a home.” He knows this is all the bunk. He doesn’t hesitate to tell us that he can beat any woman he ever met when it comes to keeping house. He insists that we have no flair A for fixing up the domestic domicile.fi no system about managing servants, no ability to make others comfortable, and no neatness of either mind or body. We lack, in addition to this, wit, taste, judgment and sense. But he makes one concession. He would be for marriage, he says, if it were the real thing that it was in Victorian times. Then it just suited his fancy, for in those good old days, according to his own words “men had merely to dictate and women to obey.” He Talks Out Loud You can get this point of view. But just because things are now in such a deplorable state, this masculine prodigy is not going to brighten any woman’s life by marrying her. He announces this in eight-point type to the frenzied females. Well, we’ll hope the girls won’t lose much sleep over this ultimatum. And we can feel perfectly sure that civilization will not go to ruin because of this dire decision. But just remember one thing. When these loud mouthed, independent bachelors have grown into grouchy, dyspeptic, boresome old men, creaking with rheumatism and as bald as eggs, some woman is going to have to step in and nurse them through their senile ailments. The hospitals are full of husky young nurses who spend hours ministering tc broken down old bachelors and listening to their groans. For when the prancing days are over, there is always a yell for some addle pa ted woman who can maked gruel for a good stomach gone wrong.
