A Imost Widow s ’ Pro blem Involves Consideration of Utopian Arrangement BY MARTHA LEE IT SEEMS to be true that “Satan finds work for idle hands to do.” And yet he finds work for busy hands to do, too, so I suppose the ancient platitude works both ways. The problem confronting “An Almost Widow” has been faced by thousands before her. The husband leaves town—the wife, of course, becomes lonesome when lie is gone—her idle hands turn to other things—and that is when the “other man” comes into the picture.

The logic of the problem is simple. If the woman is virtuous, she will follow in paths of virtue whether her husband is in towr- or away—whether her hands are idle or busy. And, of course, the reverse logic is true, too. In this enlightened day of companionate arrangements, it seems to me that some agreement could be reached between the husband and wife. Could not the other man be introduced to the husband? Shouldn’t a broad-minded husband allow his wife to be entertained in his absence? If that Utopian arrangement could be made, the best thing the wife could do is to find a woman companion—perhaps another “Almost Widow”—with whom she could run around. Here is the letter bringing up the question. Dear Martha Lee: I probably won't get much sympathy from you over this query of mine, but I really want your honest opinion. What is more lonesome than a wife whose husband travels and who has nothing to do but keep a small apartment and cook for herself? My husband comes home almost every week-end. but leaves sometimes on Sunday nights. You will probably say go to church and pet inteersted in clubs and things. Well. . Indianapolis is <J big town and it's hard i to get acquainted. I'd travel with my husband except that we really can't afford it. I could work, but he doesn't want me to. He likes for me to have a leisurely existence and I do. But here you are: I am 34. and at a church dinner and entertainment some time ago I met a young man about 28 who has been very nice to me. He took me home from the dinner and has come to call since that time. And Miss Lee. we've gone to a couple of movies together. He ■ is almost perfect in his behavior. I enloy his company He knows I am married and that my husband is away, but we have a happy time when we re together. His company is so much more stimulating than all the older women in the church. What could possibly be wrong with such a friendship? People are beginning to talk about us, I know. I’ve told my husband that I’ve been playing with a friend. Bui he has never met the young man. What is the best course to pursue? AN ALMOST WIDOW Here Js a letter from one of the older generation: Dear Miss Lee: I am very much interested in your department of The Indianapolis Times, and here is a problem. It seems to me that girls and boys in their teens are not the only ones who have their troubles. I am about 60 rears of age, and it seems hard to find a middle-aged woman who loves a home. They want to gad around ell day and then go to a picture show every night. Very few middle-aged women are situated where they can entertain company. They will meet you and go to a movie, but if you wish to talk to them you have to stand on a corner or sit on a park bench. Mv dream is to find a woman about 45 to 50 years of age of a lovable disposition, musically inclined, neatly dressed and a good cook, and one who would go to a movie once or twice a week. Do you think it would be possible to find one of this kind? "AN OLD BOY.” My Dear Old Boy: Certainly there are women in this world such as you describe. But naturally the trouble is to find one. If I were conducting a matrimonial bureau in The Times, I perhaps could find your “dream girl.” But j I’m not, so there seems to be nothing I can do for you, but advise you to keep right on looking for her. You know spring is coming on now, and any man who has kept his youthful enthusiasm for so many years surely could take heart and redouble the search. Hostess List Announced for A.A.U. W. Fete Hostesses for the dinner meeting of the American Association of University Women at the Hoosier Athletic Club Tuesday, will be alumnae of Columbia University. Dr. John M.

COSTUME OF NEWSPAPERS

MARYE and ‘MOM’ a tt a THEIR LETTERS BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES Dear Marye: Surely you must realize that people who have no interest in you are not critical of your appearance or character. It is because Alan wants you to be his ideal, because he loves you and is proud of you that he sometimes finds fault with you. It is nonsense, Marye, to believe that when people fall in love it is invariably with their ideal. A man who has always been partial to a blonde may marry a brunet, or vice versa. But he doesnt’ forget his ideal and he wants his wife to be like her. You may think that the attractions that drew a man to you are strong enough to hold him, and they are in most cases. But love is not blind—tiiat is, not incurably so —and sooner or later a man or wife will appear in his or her true light, even to those who are nearest and dearest. For this reason a wise woman will not resent her husband’s criticisms unless they are unjust and unkind. I know you modern girls say you will not stoop to make special efforts to hold your husbands — that the very expression is a among you—but, Marye dear, you can not change the established order of things in one generation. It has always been the woman's part to make the greatest effort to preserve the home. It is her institution, her protection, because she is the child-bearer. Ask any woman who has attempted to bring up children alone and provide a home for them by her own labor, and she will invariably tell you that it was a hard, hard task. Marriage affords her a sanctum for the fulfilling of her destiny such as nothing else would give her. If she does not preserve this shelter, even at the cost of a little pride, she faces the certainty of having her children grow up in State institutions. lam speaking generally, of course, of the majority—cases where the mother would be unable to provide for her childriqn under her own roof. It may not seem quite fair, but so long as marriage means more to women than it does to men, the women will have to do the pleasing. For my part I have always found it a great pleasure to please your father in the little matters of dress and behavior. You will get more out of life through pleasing one man immensely than by giving a great number a “kick,” as Frank would say, by wearing a backless evening gown to a theater. I dare say, Alan was more than justified in objecting to it. Lovingly, MOM. Talk on China Mrs. William Rothenburger, who has traveled extensively in China, will address members of the Minerva Club and guests at the guest day meeting, Wednesday, with Mrs. Emil Ebner, 1057 W.

Short Skirt, Small Hat in Vogue Still /.’,)/ Unit at Vrrss NEW YORK, April 9.—Sunny, clear blue skies and a warm sun greeted New York’s millions Sunday and brought the fashionable and the onlookers into Fifth and Park Aves. in such numbers that the Easter parades on America's twin promenades assumed proportions of a subway jam. Despite abandonment of the city for resort centers by thousands, including many of the ultra-ultra element, the annual review of fashion and display of manners was conceded to be the most imposing in many years. Churches, chapels and cathedrals over flowed with worshippers. Many, although attired in their best, were unable to find a sanctuary where they could bow the head and bend the knee, so tremendous was the response to the weather forecaster's bad guess. He had said: “Cloudy and cold, probably rain.” On each side of the traffic stream the styles of a nation for spring were crystallizing, punctured by silk hats, walking sticks and cardenias. Battles among colors and materials were being won and lost and carefully planned innovations were expiring at the lifting of an eyebrow. Skirts Still Short It was soon apparent that skirts were to be just as short and hats just as small as in the era then coming to a close. Beige also held its own, and beige and brown, especially in tweeds and homespuns, are undoubtedly smart. The strictly tailored suit (feminine)—there was no doubt about it —has been fighting a losing battle since last Easter. Ensembles, as they are called, have supplanted the tailleur. as it was called. Red fox hasn't been done away with, but it has at least beomce a noticeable competitor for silver fox and was used freely for coat trimming. Two small fur scarfs, with the head of one biting into the hindquarters of the other, are also smarter this year than a single pelt Pastel shades seemed to find general favor. Dark blue used to be the indisputable shade for spring, but those days are gone forever—at any rate, for A. D„ 1928. There were many short capes on coats, but radicals in the fashion world who came out and predicted bodly that short capes on coats would be indispensible to madame this season will now have to eat their words There were short capes on coats, but not so many. Reptile Skins Popular The reptile kingdom is also holding its own and reptile skins were crushed today by some of the smartest heels in New York. Practically all the smart shoes seemed to be the skin of some creeping, crawling thing or other and often purses matched them. Collarless coats with big fur cuffs were numerous in the parade. “Modern" jewelry was much in evidence on hats and ears. The hats, by the way, were mostly very small, tight felts, small tight straws, especially the lacquered, shiny type, were in evidence upon some very good heads indeed, but the felt manufacturers had little reason to feel alarmed. There were few large hats—too early. Their popularity is for later in the season. And there were a few nose veils, for the first time in years. These, however, seemed to be wonr mostly by manniquins, in an effort to transcplant their Paris popularity to New York and give the starving veil makers a chance to feed and shelter their children.

Chib Federation Asks Observance of Forest Week llii Timm Special WASHINGTON, April 9.—American forest week, one of the several special weeks observed by the General Federation of Women's Clubs, has been proclaimed by President Coolidge for April 22 to 28. “Forest week is the time when we give special heed to our great heritage of forests and rivers and mines.” says Mrs. Francis E. Whitley, Webster City, la., chairman of the division of forestry and natural scenery for the federation. “Asked how we may best conserve these resources the answer is the one oft repeated, chiefly by education and legislation.” National Garden week, April 15 to 22, is another national week which the federation observes. Miss Vida Newsom, Columbus, Ind., chairman, is asking clubs to form garden departments, consult and review garden books and magazines as club programs, including the poetry of gardening.; to give all possible assistance to schools, juvenile groups and civic groups by holding contests for flower and vegetable gardens; to distribute seeds and cuttings among young people: to send flowers to the sick and shut-ins and to arrange flower shows. Miss Newsom also asks clubs to add a tree to the Mary Sherman forest which club women are planting, to honor the president of the federation, Mrs. John D. Sherman.
