Once upon a time, when the country was young, a husband subscribing to all those things was indeed a husband; one to depend upon and be proud of; one to provide food, clothing and shelter; and to give little kindness along with it.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ a u tt THEIR LETTERS

Dearest Marye—Sometimes I feel you are just a child, and I wish you would grow up. Other times you are too old, and I wish you were not maturing mentally so quickly. Naturally, when you married, I expected that you would, as we used to say, “settle.” I supposed you would delight in housekeeping and that Alan would be the big consideration in your life, and that you would have children and delight to fuss over them, and that you would be protected and cherished the rest of your life. As I look back, that was my ideal for myself, and I carried it over for you. How did I know that you would resent protection, that you would hate housekeeping, that you do not wapt children, and that you feel that a job of some sort is the only salvation to protect you from boredom? If you were to go into business with your friend Jane, you would expect, I am sure, to work hard and to build up something solid. You wouldn’t be satisfied just to play around with it. And that would mean much of your time, your thought and your energy would have to go into this new enterprise. I fail utterly to see why a businesss i& so much more important than a home—or why you could net put the same interest into your home that you are willing to give to business. As for your latest acquaintance, which you say starts on a highly scientific and commendable basis, I take my old-fashioned stand—you are a foolish girl to play with fire as you do. I wish you would come home for a visit. I ivould like to get you back to a less hectic, more wholesome type of life, and see if you could not get a saner perspective. Your old room has been freshly painted and papered, and I have a lovely new rug for it. All your old furniture is there, besides anew chest of drawers, and it all urges you to return. Won’t you consider it? Then we’ll get straight on everything. All my love, MOM. D. H. Auxiliary Party Mrs. Earl H. Blakely, 3156 N. New Jersey St., entertained the Indianapolis Delta Upsilon auxiliary Friday with a covered dish luncheon and bridge at her summer home in Riverwood, north of the city.Washing Shields Lay shields flat on the washbowl and use the nail brush, with suds, to wash them clean.

THE INDIAMTOLIS TIMES

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 tjiis store than a pair of rhinoceri with gold-filled tusks. “Had a busy day. I suppose?”l 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 hollywreaths. 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 salt and 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 and 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 everydayroutine. For the woman whose week is a round of meal planning, market, ing and cooking, the one day off with a 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! 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.

Men Retain Dominion Over World BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON It has been charged that men are running the General Federation of Women's Clubs. That’s probably true, at least to a certain extent. Behind every organization of wom- | en there may be seen traces of the I expert masculine hand. Even in ! our bridge luncheon clubs we swear I by Mr. Work. Women are born with a sense of i inferiority. They believe that men | know more than they do, even about i strictly feminine affairs. We have always been worked. We probably always will be. For centuries men called us the weaker vessels, so that believing we had not the courage to encounter temptations,' we were kept indoors, which j gave them the run of the earth, ; with nobody to watch them. They j told us we were physically weaker | than they and so while they hunted and fished, we bore the children j and wove the cloth, and built the J houses and cooked the food and ■ sowed the grain. They said we ! were intellectually , weaker and i therefore they made the laws and j wrote the books and received the i education and determined the pol- [ icies under which we should exist. They said we were weaker morally, and so while we remained inside practicing religious rites and repeating prayers, they organized the churches and waged wars in the names of their favorite creeds. They arranged all the moral codes taking care to give themselves all latitudes and us none. They created our gods for us, and they have always been masculine gods who granted special privileges to men. They have worked us since the day when Adam, after enjoying the apple, put the blame for its plucking on to Eve. They still accuse us of inefficiency though we run our hoyse while they j run Congress. They claim we are non-producers, though we produce babies while 1 they produce stocks and bonds and wars. And most mirth-provoking of all, they Insist we lead tnem into j sin, while with the same breath, ! they claim the Lord created us their inferiors. They have always managed to get j the best cf us. These clever men. And there seems no evidence that they will not go on doing it.

League Will Entertain for First Voters A feature of the pre-election activities of the Indiana League of Women Voters will be birthday parties for all girls who will vote for the first time in November. Mrs. C. T. Boynton, Elkhart, chairman of the new voter’s committee of the state league, has been appointed chairman to be in charge of this phase of the program. Mrs. T. J. Louden, Bloomington, is chairman of the state league committee and Mrs. R. C. Small, Hagerstown, and Mrs. L. S. Fiskenscher, South Bend, are vice chairmen. The parties for new voters will take the form of dinner meetings. A member of the league will speak ors the importance of voting and a playlet, “A Day at the Polls," will be presented. All available information on candidates; issues, and mechanics of voting will be given these new voters in as interesting a way as possible. A candidate from each political party will speak. Some local leagues are planning to include boys in these parties. In leagues which are planning to do this, Rotary Clubs, Kiwanis Clubs, and Chambers of Commerce are being asked to co-operate. In speaking of this activity of the league, Mrs. Boynton said: “We seem to feel that there is some magic element in reaching one’s twenty-first birthday which immediately makes one capable of becoming an active, voting citizen of the country. Very little practical training is given our youth in preparing them to become citizens. We train them for jobs of every other sort, but seem to think that automatically they will be capable of filling the most important job of all—citizenship. The purpose of these birthday parties is to emphasize the responsibility inherent in citizenship and to create a lively interest in gavernment, and particularly in the coming presidential election.”
