Indianapolis Woman One Not With Condemning Author’s Generalizations BY MARTHA LEE mT’S no use arguing with a woman,” says John Langdon Davies, in his new hook, “A Short History of Women.” “Women are physically weaker, mentally less active than men; they are more wayward and more changeable in temperament; nor can any one hope to understand them nor please

them for long. As they are inf are infinitely dangerous to him. “Made for maternity, they are unsuited to work save in the home and the nursery. They have different mental processes; Incapable of reasoning, they make up the deficiency by a special intuitiveness. “Man is man, but woman, god or flevil.” Martha Lee thinks that it is useless to generalize about women. General statements always hit somebody, but there is also a large number whom they do not hit. One of these women has written a letter which reveals a different side from that written about by Davies. This woman is neither wayward nor changeable; neither is she incapable of reasoning. And she has the strength of character to stand by her decisions. Will other people please write in their opinions about what Davies has written about women? A Real Woman Dear Martha Lee: X certainly agree with you when you say that anew affection has more expulsive power than the Keeley cure. Three months ago, I met a man who seemed to me to be all perfection. His friends told me that he was a habitual drunkard and gambler. We both worshiped each other, and he never took a drink or gambled while we were going together. . , . Then I learned that he was married. Heartbroken. I am. yes. He offered to divorce his wife and marry me. but I quit him because my happiness could never be built on another woman’s unhappiness, but he follows me around and has commenced drinking and gambling again. He says he will never quit untii I take him baok. His wife loves him and he treats ner Sh l*am U not going to break another woman’s heart or let this affair spoil my life. I feel like X am doing the right thing. Please advise me. MERCxDtb. 3 I admire your strength of character. I feel that you are doing exactly the right thing. Understand, that I do not know whether you and your lover belong together or not. Perhaps you do. If his wife loves him, she will want him to be happy, and want him to be with the woman who satisfies him so completely that it crowds out all other influences. If this is true, and there are no children, I do not see how it will mend her broken heart to hang on to him. Nevertheless, Mercedes, there are things that I do not like about this man. He does not ring as true sis you do, and I feel somehow that you are his superior. I do not like the fact that he did not tell you that he was married. I do not like him for returning to his drinking and gambling because you showed principles in dealing with him. I fear that as soon as he became accustomed to you that he would return to his old habits. However, I may be wrong. If he really loves you. he will stop his drinking and gambling again, and arrange a divorce with his wife as kindly as possible. If he does this, and comes to you free, I will like him much better than I do now. I like you, and I liked your letter, and if you feel that you can influence this man to straighten up again, your efforts may not be lost, but you are quite right in refusing to continue a triangle which cannot bring anything but misery for all three of you. !'ATHLETIC CLUB WOMEN HAVE FIRST LUNCHEON The first luncheon bridge party of tlie season of the women’s committee of the Indianapolis Athletic Club was given Monday afternoon at the club, for wives and daughters of members and out-of-town guests.

Coolidge Not Out of Race, Women Told

“Those who imagine that President Coolidge has been eliminated from the 19.28 presidential equation have another guess coming,” Louis Ludlow, Washington, D. C., president of the National Press Club and former Indianapolis newspaper man, told one hundred land fifty members of the Woman’s Press Club of Indiana and their guests at the luncheon meeting Monday in the Chateau room of the Claypool. Mr. Ludlow spoke on “Men and Women of My Time,” and told some interesting stories of Hoosiers at the capital and internationally known people with whom he has come in contact. Mrs. Sara Messing Stern, Terre Haute, president of the Press Club, presided, and introduced Mrs. W. E. Ochiltree of Connersville, chairman of the program-committee, who introduced the speaker. Frederic Krull sang Riley songs. Mr. Ludlow spoke before the banquet for members and guests of the Writers’ Club Monday at the Columbia Club. Miss Margaret Scott, president of the club, presided. He talked on “The Press and the Public Service,” and spoke of the newspapers’ part in making the world happier by a wise choice of the news it prints. “My plea is for constructive humanitarian newspapers,” he said. “There is no merit in printing all of the news. I do not mean to taboo criticism by our newspapers, but the point I am making is that criticism should be constructive.”

SHE RAN sl3 TO SIOO,OOO A YEAR

:■ —St). S''*

Mrs. Blanche R. Green Btl NBA Service CHICAGO, Nov. B.—Fifteen years ago, her husband incapacitated by an accident, and with a growing daughter to educate, Mrs. Blanche R. Green became the bread-winner for the family. Today she makes SIOO,OOO yearly and is America’s highest salaried business woman. Born in Virginia—the eldest of six children—she was raised under the traditions of the Old South and married when very young. The Greens settled in New York State, where a daughter was bom to them. Six years later Mr. Green met with an accident which rendered him unfit for work. Doctor bills and other expenses soon exhausted their financial resources and Mrs. Green faced the task of caring for an invalid husband and a small daughter. “Too Proud” “I had been devoted entirely to the work of my home. I felt too proud to go back to my family and. ask for help,” says Mrs. Green. With only sl3 and a lot of determination she took a job selling corsets in the little town of Chatham, N. Y. To day she is vice president and general manager of the corset company and supervises 4,000 sales people. “What I have done any woman can do,” she says. “Marriage and a career are possible to any woman who will plan her work and then work her plans. That has always been my motto and I have yet to see it fail. Beaten by Little Things “Too many ambitious and alert American business women permit the petty worries and discouragements of domestic life to enter in their business and defeat them. If a competent housekeeper is secured and the husband’s permission given I see no reason why a woman with the ambition cannot have a career. “Woman is man’s equal in brains, intellect, intuition, and she is gifted with imagination, which some men lack. Woman’s only handicap is lack of physical endurance. “Business women make a mistake by being domineering and mannish. Be only a woman and don’t be bossy. And above all, my advice to the business woman is to be punctual—men expect you to be late.” Birthday Surprise The Sigma Sigma Kappa sorority entertained with a surprise birthday party Monday evening for Miss Autumn Bradley at the home of her mother, Mrs. O. Hardesty, 318 N. Drexel. Mrs. Hardesty was assisted by'Mrs. T. W. Lawall. Decorations and ices were in a color scheme of yellow and green.

Woman’s Day

BY ALLENE SUMNER Do you get any particular pleasure from gazing upon a female head covered with enough hair to stuff all the overstuffed living room suites of an entire town? Or when you see the picture of a girl who wen the long hair contest with her hair trailing down to the floor, ten feet in length, five pounds in weight, do you envy her at all? Neither do I. In fact, I feel crawly. The woman with long hair today, especially when it’s too long, seems to me about as unsanitary and repulsiveas a patriarch with a long beard that dangles into the soup. Once upon a time, much hair was prized as a sign of extreme femininity. But femininity is at no premium today—at least it is symbolized in more sanitary and beautiful ways. # • • Marriage “The Breakdown of Marriage,” by Will Durant, is an unusually interesting article on an always fascinating subject. It is interesting to note the similarity of Durant’s reasoning with that of Judge Ben Lindsey, who recently got himself into much trouble by daring to suggest some improvements in marriage customs of today. Durant says: “Sexual desire matures in us as early as before, but economic and mental maturity—alas, that comes to the modern man rather at 40 than at 201 Love comes, and youth, finding its pockets empty, dares not marry, love comes again, more weakly (years have passed), and yet the poekets do not bulge enough for marriage; love comes again with only half of its' early freshness and power (years have passed), and 10, the pockets are full now, and marriage celebrates the death of love. “The deferment of marriage is the initial factor in that wild flux of moral character which is sweeping away half the moorings of oip: lives.” * * • Why They Steal Did you know that more shoplifting in women’s wear stores exists today than ever before, and that store owners explain it by the change from voluminous heavy garments to diaphanous, chiffony ones which will easily slip into a coat sleeve or hand bag. Here's an argument against the evil of today’s styles that the moralists have missed! * * * Blue Chins Do all healthy men have blue chins? So said Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the great actress, according to George Arliss’ autobiography, “Up the Years From Bloomsbury.” He tells of Mrs. Campbell’s request that all the men in the company make up with blue chins instead of pink ones which made them look like girls. But the blue chins stayed only one night. The manager told the leading lady that she seemed surrounded by burglars and other crooks. * * * More Marriage Can you stand another dose of marriage observations? They come from “Wholesome Marriage” by Ernest and Gladys Groves: “The time was when marriage was thoroughly satisfying if the man of the house was content. The woman’s inclinations were made little of. A complete somersault has come, and it has come suddenly. Woman now expects just as much as man does of marriage. Often she is even less willing than he to put up with hard circumstances.” Pearl Trimming A rose .pink crepe georgette dinner gown has a bolero and two tiers of the georgette trimmed intricately with pearls.
