Suggesting Career for Young Person Requires Exercise of Subtlety BY MARTHA LEE TT IGH SCHOOL boys and girls sit upon platforms every Xx spring and listen to long, weary talks of commencement speakers of the terrifying prospect of what to do after leaving school. Some are confronted with the problem for the first time, some bored with hearing too much of it and others perplexed by half-formed ideas about it.

Parents and children have a proportionate number of varying ideas, because, up to that time, it has been both their concern, some parents taking it tor much to heart and others not enough. Whatever any speaker, mother, or father may say, the child is, after all, the best judge of himself and what he wants to do, and is perfectly capable of handling it with the right kind of assistance from older persons. And this grown-m> help has nothing at all to do with dogmatic dictation on the part of anyone. It is the duty of all parents and interested relatives to bring their years of experience and better judgment to bear on their children’s plans for the future. But, too many parents are either pitifully casual in their interest, and others enforce their opinions with every ounce of energy they have. Net Result Nothing

I know a mother is so determined that her daughter marry a prosperous man or become a successful commercial artist that the daughter sits at home and does nothing; least of all has she any intention of manhunting. The daughter has exceptional ability in art and a certain amount cf natural charm. But so determined is her mother that she utilize both to the glory of the Whole family, that the daughter is psychologically balked by anticipation of such tremendous effort. Nearly everyone can name a living example of the lawyer father who will have a lawyer son if he breaks everything trying to do it. On the other hand, we all know parents who are perfectly oblivious of everything concerning their children save the fact that they live and breathe. They allow them to drift through high school and, in many instances, through college without one suggestion about the future. They are graduated and proceed to drift aimlessly two, three, or four years and at last get an abrupt awakening; painful, like a jab in the ribs, and wonder dully What to do next. High School Age Too Early I do not believe it wise to bother high school children with too much talk of the future. Neither is it any more wise to say nothing at all than for parents to make all plans to suit themselves and seal the oneman proposition with a bit of parental dictation. Many parents would do well to practice the art of subtle, suggestive dictation concerning a career for their children. It is natural that parents should be ambitious for them, but it is a sad affair when parents are more ambitious than the children. It is their duty to help, not hinder by driving. Dear Martha Lee: X have been out of high school almost two years and it seems to me that I'm never going to amount to anything. I iust can’t decide what kind of work to take up. I have worked in a factory, but X couldn’t make any money there. I have worked in an office but the work required too much reading for my eyes. I really like the stage better than anything, but I can’t bear the thought of traveling. Please h |'P N ™®- Somewhere along the line you have not taken definite stock of your ability or choice concerning an occupation, or else you have had no one to nelp you. I only can suggest that you do your best to decide upon someone thing you would like to do and feel you could do, and aslj your parents or relatives to help you do it. I wouldn’t suggest the stage unless you are given opportunity some time to see what you can do. Perhaps you would like nursing, or special teaching like music and art, domestic science or physical training. I suggest that you take a course at normal school and later specialize in one of those things.

Miss Arui Carpenter

A maiden aunt, starved for romance, ,seeking romance for a niece in the form of a lord or other titled man, forms the theme for a romantic comedy, “The Romance Hunters,” to be presented by members of the Sigma Delta dramatic society Monday at 8 p. m. under the auspices' of the Young Business and Professional Women’s department of the Y. M. C. A. in Hollenback Hall. Miss Ann Carpenter, president of the department, is chairman of the entertainment. The- part of the maiden aunt is taken by Miss Harriet Trinkle, and that of the niece by Miss Marianne Black; the niece, incidentally, “jims” up her aunt’s plans because she has already found romance; the arrival of a titled nobleman adds further complications. Other roles are taken by Dale Dorsett, Lillian Lacker, Roy Van Arsdale, Mary Louise Shields, Myron Northern, Anita Brownlee, Dorance Rodenburg, James Jones, and Arthur Reeder. Members of Sigma Delta are all Shortridge and Technical High school students.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ a m * THEIR LETTERS

Dear Mom—After my last outburst, which must have stunned you somewhat, I am sure you will be relieved to have me be my frivolous self. I think, possibly, that seeing so many people every day, and finding myself with women who have such decided opinions on everything are making a changed woman out of me. Jane and I both have made good as models. Jane is more excited about business all the time, and she is making her plans to get one of the best designers here for her own shop. Before she open it, she will go to Paris to select the fittings for her shop and to bring back some French seamstresses. She wants me to go into business with her—l even can come in without any capital, since her father is quite willing to finance it for her, and I am.seriously considering it. For I find that life passes much more pleasantly for me when I am busy, and there i> a fascination in business that I readily respond to. But whether I want to devote the rest of my life to clothes or not, I don’t know. At any rate, I plan to stay here a few weeks longer. You may be pleased to know that I have beeen formally introduced to the handsome man with the eyebrows that don’t match. He bears the prosaic name of Shelton—William J, I believe. When he found that I did not re-, spond to his flirtation —and apparently he did not realize that it was lack of tinye rather than disinclination that caused me to pass hirti by with such a duchess air, he set about to be Introduced properly. It seems he knows Mme. Elise very well, so he just asked her to present him, which she did. And then when he invited me to luncheon it seemed perfectly proper for me to accept. This I did, and tomorrow we dine in state. His excuse for wanting to know me is that I resemble some dear but departed friend of his, and he feels that I can not look so much like her without having a disposition and character similar to hers, and he' needs must know me better. It may be a mere excuse, but a rather interesting one, I think, and I have a theory of my own—that men with that peculiar trick of operating their eyebrows so differently must have some corresponding quirk of temperament. I feel I ought to investigate that hunch, now that the material Is right here waiting to put under my microscope. Therefore, our acquaintance starts out on a highly scientific and commendable basis. MARYE. MERRILL ESTERLINE WEDS HAMMOND GIRL The marriage of Miss Marior. Eleanor Cunningham, Hammond, and Merrill Brown Esterline, son of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Esterline, 5120 N. Pennsylvania St., took place Wednesday evening at the Windermere East Hotel in Chicago. Miss Dorothy Reagan, Knightstown, was one of the bridesmaids and George Esterline was his brother’s best man. After a wedding trip to Canada, Mr. and Mrs. Esterline will be at home in Indianapolis. Cranberry Ice For a colorful dessert serve cranberry ice. Use stewed cranberries just as you would any other fruit. It is also good served with duck or any other wild fowl. Pretty Garnish Garnish broiled young chicken with a very thin slice of pineapple, topped by a very thin slice of whole orange. It is colorful and tempting.

Woman’s Day

By ALLENE SUMNER I went to the grocery store the other night. It was the night before a holiday, which is why the store was open in the evening. I anticipated a long waiting in line, and said divers uncomplimentary things about the servant problem, the expected company and the impossibility of getting in the order in time for delivery. But there was no line. The clerks tumbled over themselves in an endeavor to be useful. There was no more sign of a summer holiday in this store than a pair of rhinoceri with gold-filled tusks. “Had a busy day, I suppose?’! attempted to make conversation with the clerk. “Just an ordinary day,” he said. “Didn’t really do as much business as on Monday.” Then warming up to his theme and his grievance, he went on: “Holidays don’t mean anything to the grocery any more. People don’t go on picnics, and they don’t even eat at home. It’s the car; everybody gets in the car and drives to some hotel or farm-house or roadhouse or Inn which has a reputation for good food. The grocery man’s out of luck.” Picnics on Decline It’s one of those conditions, of course, which most everybody just takes for granted, and never is moved to wonder upon. But some of us who were born and reared in the holiday picnic habit can no more think of Fourths of July and Memorial days and Labor days without a picnic basket than we can imagine Christmas without snow and holly wreaths. And everybody else in the world may "eat out” on holidays, but we fuss and stew and tire ourselves out and buy and pack and worry over whether we’vs forgotten the saltand the squeezed lemon, just to sit down under an oak tree and munch sardines and hard boiled eggs and cold ham sandwiches and pickles and cheese and potato salad and cold baked beans and bananas and oranges ar.d cookies and Iced lemonade. Thus endeth the day’s bill of fare! It is foolish, as the grocer himself admitted. Practice Economy “I don’t bame people,” he said. “You can buy a meal nowadays as cheap as you can get it yourself, and the women folks need a day off.” Which explains the situation beautifully. To me, a newspaper “writing lady,” marketing and packing a picnic basket is fun because it’s escape from the everyday routine. For the woman whose week is a round of meal planning, market, ing and cooking, the one day off with chance to “eat out” is the escape. Even today, such is the power of entradition, there are hordes of women who haven’t eaten a meal cooked outside their own homes for years, barring, perhaps, a few Sunday dinners at "the children’s.” But folks never did that in the years they were acquiring their habits, and it’s too late to teach old dogs new tricks. More power, perhaps, to the new ways that do give women freedom on holidays and Sundays! But for myself, I still want picnics! Shoe Gloves Fine, lightweight toe rubbers in all colors and in snakeskin printed rubber, can be had now fitted into their own case about the size of a folded pocket handkerchief.
