Costumes of Brilliance for Little Theatre Society Ball, A Night in Spain ’ I HE colorful brilliance of costumes of Indianapolis society r folk complemented perfected the twinkling stars in the Spanish skies of the Indiana ballroom Monday night for “A Night in Spain,” the tenth annual costume ball of the Little Theatre Society of Indiana which was one of the elaborate affairs of the pre-lenten season in this city. The softly lighted ballroom floor, surrounded by wide

porticos and balconies formed a charming setting for the elaborate costumes. Those who ilid not wear fancy dress wore brilliant evening clothes. Gayety reigned during the entire evening. Although “A Night in Spain” was the name of the dance, the costumes were not at all limited to the Spanish. In fact, every figure associated in one’s mind with a fancy dress ball, attended. Confetti and serpentine were used lavishly. Specialty dance numbers were given by Louise Purcell Powell and Allen T. Carey. The grand march at 10 p. m. was led by Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Winslow. Mrs. Winslow, a member of the board of directors of the Little Theatre and general ticket chairman for the ball, represented a Hawaiian maid, with grass skirt. Mr. Winslow as the beach comber wore white trousers and shirt, a red sash and a beachcomber hat, with small balls dangling from the brim. Portrays Warrior A terrorizing figure, and at the same time beautiful and most colorful, was George Somnes, director of Little Theatre productions. He was dressed as a Javanese warrior, with headdress of two large blue ears and two long feathers arched over the head and reaching to the floor in the back. The trousers and sleeves of his costume were flaming red with a mixture of greens, red, yellows and blues in the blouse. With it all was a semi-coat of armour. Miss Mary McMeans, executive secretary of the Little Theatre, wore a red evening dress over which was a black Spanish shawl embroidered in pink roses. One of the gay groups at the ball included Miss Charlotte Howe in Spanish costume of black with fuchsia feather fan, Miss Meta Lieber wearing a peasant costume with red bodice and green skirt, and Mrs. Raymond Meade also in a Spanish costume made in white tarletan style. Mrs. Evans Woollen Jr wore a beautiful Spanish dress of white lace with a white mantilla. Miss Sara Lauter, active in Little Theatre work, wore a rose colored dress with white headdress and long black veil. Her sister, Miss Eldena Lauter, was a Chesterfield advertisement with a dress of purple, yellow and red. Walter Lieber, general chairman of the ball, and Mrs. Lieber were not in costume, nor were Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer C. Furscott. Mr. Furscott is president of the society. With Mrs. Kurt Pantzer, secretary of the society, who wore a white evening dress with Spanish shawl of white embroidered in pastel shades, and Mr. Pantzer, were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Winslow, George Home, William Munk, Edward Ogle, Ernest Baltzell and Mrs. Vann.

Pgal 'Pep—The kind of energy produced in children by drinking absdlutely pure Capitol Milk CAPITOL DAIRIES • Inc TELEPHONES: CHERRY 5018-6843

Gad-Abouts’ Ruin Home Happiness BY MARTHA LEE “Gadabout” wives are responsible for unhappiness in the home, shattered nerves for the husband and bad care for the children. I always have advocated the theory that the modem woman must spend an afternoon or two away each week from her household if she wants to make a success of her marriage, but no woman ought to neglect her household. The “gadabout” seems to thinx she can play her role of efficient wife even though she leaves early in the morning and returns only • few minutes before the dinner hour. After the probably unsatisfying dinner she has prepared, she begs to “go somewhere,” regardless of the fatigue of her husband. No man can stand to go out every night. He must conserve his energy for the business problems he must face every day to make money to care for his family. The only way for him to keep from becoming either a nervous wreck or an inefficient business man is for him to refuse absolutely to heed his wife’s tempting plea to be going from theater to club. As in the solving of most problems, I advise the middle course as the best way of meeting a difficulty. Try this middle course, you husbands who have married the gadabout. Go out sometimes, but take a firm stand and refuse to be dragged out every evening when your tired body and mind needs the restful atmosphere of your own home. Dear Miss Lee: X am married and love my wife, but we can not seem to see things the same way. I work every day and have lost but three weeks in the last two years. I do not run around without my wife. However, she does not seem satisfied to go out one or two nights each week, which I feel is all I can stand because when X lose so much rest I am unable to work effiioently the next day. My wife gets angry when I refuse to go. She thinks it would be all right for her to go to the public dance hall without me, which I co not think proper. She is nagging me constantly. I know that if I give in to het and permitted her to go to dances without me I should lose all love for her. I am fond of reading, but when I do read my wife objects because she would rather gossip about our friends with me. Believing that every one ought to do as he pleases, I really object to this talking about our friends. Please tell me what I should do to solve my problem for I love my home. „ E. M. B. Dear E. M. S.: You ought to have known this woman’s character better before you ever proposed to her. she, of course, may not have been the same sort of person she is now, but at least you ought to have been clever enough to detect some of her shortcomings. You are right in your assertion that a man is physically unable to go out every night and still be able to work every day. Another thing, no woman with any sense would care to go to a public dance without an escort. Your wife is a very foolish woman if she cares for that way of amusing herself. No man would ever permit his wife to go. Since your wife seems to be brainless, you will have to deal with her firmly. Stick by your convictions because you are on the right side. Unhappy Blue Eyes: You are a very foolish woman if you continue to live with your husband who abuses you so. Since you work and really pay most of the bills, no financial strings keep you attached to this man. Tell him that you are not going to stand his intolerable treatment any longer. If he refuses to improve his behavior, leave him. Peggy: I am sorry, but Ido not give advice cn medical problems. Consult your physician and ask him if basketball would aid your physical condition.

GIRL ABOUT TOWN BY MARILYN

Last week I discovered three interesting things I hadn’t known before: Someone as crazy about modern art as I am—Blanche Stillson. A down-town sandwich shop on whose walls hangs the apt Latinity, "De gustibus non disputandum.” A human dynamo of driving energy—a professional dramatic director. It was at a rehearsal of “The Thunderbolt,” by Frank Mandcl that I first saw Horace Mitchell in action. He was whipping the consistory players into shape to present this three-act mystery play Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week at the Murat—and I mean whipping! Takes Place at Hospital The action of the play is laid in a hospital and concerns itself witii the much disputed question of euthanasia—has any one the ethical right to give a hopeless patient an easy and peaceful death to put l)im out of acute misery. The fact that the patient, a dope fiend, is also the head nurse’s husband adds to the emotional complexity of the problem. Mr. Mitchell has some exceedingly interesting talent to work with, and he has cast it ably. Mrs. Alice Baxter Mitchell takes the difficult role of head nurse. She doesn’t leave the stage during the entire action. Helen Lesher takes the part of a young nurse; Emory Baxter, her interne fiance; Harry L. Orlopp, a doctor, and her father. Dr. George H. Pendleton is cast as the head of the institution. Frederick Schneider is the Irish janitor. Mr. Mitchell himself takes the part of the villain dope fiend. I had in mind riotous reminiscences of the small and hysterical frays that the Players’ Club staged in the name of rehearsals where no one pays the slightest attention to anything else, least of all, the director. But not so here. I was simply astounded 'at the businesslike atmosphere. Here was work. Every one was in his place, alert, ready for action. Absolutely no nonsense. Cold Deepens Bark “All ready? Start!” barked Mr. Mitchell. He had a terrible cold. In strode Mrs. Mitchell with professional enthusiasm and the play was on! Mr. Schneider, a young man, gave a very good impression of an old, lame, Irish janitor—even. without make-up. In the second act, Mr. Mitchell abandoned his role of director and came on the stage to render a cruelly realistic dopester. With the prompt book in one hand, a cigaref in the other, and his spectacles down on the ridge of his nose, he realized his character so grimly that Mr. Baxter accused him of a lurid youth. Dr. Pendleton came into his own in the third act, which is supposed to take place in a hospital ward. Being the only actual physician present, Dr. Pendleton’s word was law. Cots, tables, chairs whisked here and there at his direction. You could all but smell the anesthetic. They all slipped into their roles as if they were old, comfortable, well-worn garments. If they did so well at a mere rehearsal, they will do even better at the final performance. It is the driving energy in back of them that counts. Without raising his voice, without even standing up, and without spectacularly of any sort, Mr. Mitchell projects his own vitality so strongly that the actors respond vividly. This is the Consistory Players’ first endeavor. Let’s wish them well! “Frederick Leighton arrives in town today and with him a Navajo Indian. Tomorrow he will lecture before the Inter-Collegiate Club at the Propylaeum on American Indian Handicraft.” The Indian will sing natitve songs. Mrs. Samuel Runnells Harrell, president of the Smith Club, will introduce them. Afterwards, they will hold forth informally at the Junior League Shop where Leighton has an exhibit of Mexican scarfs and old silver jewelry. Center Council Party Center Council S. B. A. will give a euchre and bunco party this evening at 116V6 E. Maryland St.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ tt St tt THEIR LETTERS

This is the second of a series of intimate letters exchanged by a modern daughter—MAßYE—and her “old-fash-ioned mother—“MOM”—to be printed daily In The Times. Another will appear tomorrow. BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES MARYE DEAR: Yes, I read about Norman going to Chicago, but I had no idea that you would meet, let alone go out together. * I’m sure you don’t realize what you are doing, dear child. How can you hope to make him forget you by lunching and going about with him just as though you were not married? Don’t you know that the very fact that you belong to another man will make it so much harder for Norman to put you out of his mind? That’s a matter of wounded pride, I guess. He will find you more desirable because he can’t have you—only he may not believe he can’t. You will have only yourself to blame if anything unpleasant results from your folly. And it is folly for a married woman to have her own man friends and meet them alone just as unmarried women do. It’s so much easier for friends to be agreeable to you at all times than it is for your husband who naturally will expect you to share his troubles with him. If you get used to being with men who are always attentive and sympathetic you will become impatient with Alan when he’s grump; and whether you know it or not, Marye dear, all men at times are grumpy with their wives. It may be because I belong to what you youngsters call old-fashioned folk that I am opposed to platonic friendship, but I think it is because I can see the pitfalls in it. I can’t believe that a husband who loves his wife won’t be jealous if she continues to see her former men friends, especially one she was once engaged to. Alan may stick to his bargain with you and not say a word, but don’t you fool yourself. He’ll not feel the same about it now and even if he doesn’t have any doubts f.bout the wisdom of what you do he will question your love for him, wondering if you care so much after all. When a woman loves with all her heart there’s no room for anotner man in her thoughts. Please think it over, Marye darling. Ask yourself if you really would like Alan to take one of the girls he used to go with out to lunch and spend the afternoon with her. With all my love, MOTHER. District Conference The Ninth district conference of the Indiana Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs will be held in Crawfordsville, Feb. 25 and 26. The meeting will include delegates from Crawfordsville, Lebanon, Frankfort, Tipton and Noblesville.
