Home Life Changes to Keep Pace With Times, But Isn't Disappearing BY MARTHA LEE 44T T OME life is disappearing!” That is one of the favorite a* n cries against modernism, whatever that means, that is raised year in and year out by innumerable persons who are making a study of present conditions. Os course, the old home life, when the family gathered around the library table and looked at stereopticon slides has gone. In those days diversion for a whole family was nearly
impossible to find outside the home. I will admit that there are thousands of distractions where twenty-five years ago there were only ten, and for this reason unified home life is correspondingly more difficult to realize. Just a Home Not Enough But more times than T it, lack of home life in a family is the result of a disagreeable atmosphere in’ the home. So many parents seem to feel that if they have provided a house with some furniture that it is sufficient—that their responsibility ceases there. Never was there a more mistaken idea. In these frantic times when youngsters are beset with temptations, their parents never even knew existed, there is a crying need for “temptation” to keep the children in the home, where they may pursue their pleasures under guidance of parents. Make your home atmosphere pleasant. No matter how poorly the home may be furnished, a friendly and hospitable atmosphere can make the place glow like a lighted palace. Give your children and your children’s friends reasons for wanting to come to your home for an evening’s amusement. Need for Will Power Os course, there are unpleasant things to contend with down at the office and the factory all day and, of course, the children are apt to be a bit noisy and I know that these two things do not go r. ell together at all. But a case of jigged nerves that can.be calmed with a little will power is much better than having the worry and disquietude of wondering if your children are all right. And parents, do-try to remember that you were once young—that you liked to have friends—that you liked to dance. And if you didn’t like those things yourself, try to be in sympathy with the times. Don’t try to shackle your children to your apronstrings and suspender straps. Give them the wholesome freedom that they deserve. These things were brought to mind by a touching letter from an 18-year-old girl, who is bothered, not by one of these problems, but both of them! And then another one too. That of having disagreements and wrangling in her home between her parents, which is, I think, too much to ask any humai to stand. Here is the letter: Dear Miss Lee: I am a girl nearly 18. I live at home, but my home life is terrible. Mv father is always fussing. We never have company on that aijfcount and my mother seldom leaves the house. I have begged her to leave my father, but she says she can't because of the younger children that she could not support. She is killing herself trying to make the children and my father happy. 1 am young and like to have a good time, but that is Impossible as ms father hardly ever allows me to go out and when he does I can't enjoy myself, because I know he is at home ouarreling with my mother or will ouarrei with me when X get home. <L The other day I told him X would leave home as soon as I got the money and since then he only speaks to me when he is forced to or when he wants to know something. I have stayed for mother’s sake, but will leave if there isn’t some sort of change. What shall X do? UNDECIDED. It is horrible that you are forced to live in such an atmosphere, my dear, but you are so young to stait cut for yourself. Your mother needs you badly, too, much more than you need the freedom that leaving home would give to you. Can you not talk with your father and explain the situation to him? You are evidently working, and must, through this fact have some sort of financial independence. Make him appreciate your feeling in the matter. ' t
Woman’s Day
By ALLENE SUMNER Our neighbors, the Joneses, have been forced to sell their modest but attractive little SB,OOO home and rent light housekeeping rooms at $25 a month because Tom Jones was in the hospital for six months, and the cost of his illness plus no income made it utterly impossible to keep up Xie mortgage payments. There, in its crudest form, is just a sample of what the problem of illness means to hundreds of thousands of middle-class Americans every year. * # Hundreds of articles have been written about the seriousness of the high cost of illness to the man who is neither rich nor poor, but few panaceas have been offered. But in a current magazine article called “Group Practice in Medicine,” Dr. Joseph Collins, eminent neurologist, author of “The Doctor Looks at Love and Life,” sets forth a real program which sounds feasible, and a real answer. He says: ‘“Big business’ has been in the saddle in this country for more than a generation. Nearly every industry, every great institution, every profession has been subjected to organization save medicine. An individual can practice medicine successfully but not satisfactorily. “In the first place, the field Is too extensive for him to survey alone and the equipment required for its cultivation is too varied and complex for one man to operate. In the second place, the price the patient has to pay for individual medical service is a hardship for the majority, and particularly for those of the so-called middle class. "For It is true that the man w;ho is neither rich nor poor—the self-respecting, self-supporting, substantial member of the community —is often denied the medical service to which he is entitled because he cannot afford it. The trouble is not the physician exacts a fee beyond the patient’s means, but that the patient must go to so many physicians before he can find out/ wfjat is the matter with him, and
Miss Judy and M. J. Wolleman Wed at Church Miss Dorothy Judy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Judy, 1019 N. King Ave., and Dr. Max J, Wolleman were married Wednesday morning at St. Anthony’s Church by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Joseph Chartrand. Miss Mary Helen Brooks, organist, played bridal airs before the ceremany and Miss Gertrude Whelan sang “Ave Maria.” The attendants were Miss Mary McGinty, maid of honor, and Misses Hazen Hawes and Catherine Gill. Miss McGinty wore orchid taffeta and carried butterfly roses, Miss Hawes wore yellow taffeta and carried sunburst roses and Miss Gill was in green taffeta with premier roses. They wore picture hats to match their dresses. Little Dorothy Wilheiter, flower girl, wore pink chiffon. William Greener, cousin of the bride, was best man, and Mary Judy and Sylvester Fleig were ushers. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a dress of white taffeta and lace with tulle veil held in place by a cap of Chantilly lace and chinstrap of seed pearls. She carried a shower of bride’s roses and Valley lilies. A breakfast at the home of the bride followed the ceremony. The table was arranged with a wedding cake on a plateau of roses and daisies lighted with orchid and yello wtapers. Dr. and Mrs. Wolleman have gone on a trip.

Before he is taken there it should be ascertained whether he is a wage-earner a wage-payer. If he is a wage-earner, the firm should then and there collect the equivlent of one week’s salary. If he is a wage-payer, si<so should be collected with similar dispatch. “Then the patient should be given an appointment with a member of the firm in. whose province the symptoms would seem to* be, who would examine and pass him on to as many others as are necessary to get a complete report. *8 It It “When it has been decided what treatment the patient should follow the person who effects it should have nothing to do or say about what it will cost, nor should he jWflt by the payment save as it inc ruses the revenu of the firm and thaKW 5 percentage of the reoeipts.”

* ! Urges Flat Heels and Corsets for Business Women By United Press NEW ORLEANS, La., July 12. Corsets and flat heels are necessary for the business woman, because of the growing importance of feminine charm as a background for j big business, Miss Mary Walker, New York stylist, believes. In an address before the National Federation of Business and Professional Women here. Miss Walker declared: “The business woman of today must be corseted and flat heeled. Strictly tailored business women are antiquated, ugly and impossible. Becomingness, practicality ana economy are the thre graces of modern woman’s working garb, and the greatest of these is becomingness.” Forecasting fall styles, Miss Walker indicated they will show an increased fullness of skirts, with gathers, pleats and circular effects, and more variety of neckline. “High heels give a woman less chance for correct appearance than a Chinese woman would have with her bound feet,” Miss Walker said. The stylist urged women to emphasize womanly charm in dress “for success in business.” The tailored woman with high collars and graceless suits is a manifestation of slavish immitation of men, she said. Observe Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Green Northern, near Shelbyville, observed their fifty-first wedding anniversary Mon-, day, by working about the home where they have lived during their entire married life. Their son, the Rev. Golden Northern, and family were with them to celebrate the day.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Emeralds and diamonds are the most authentic collaborators in jeweled chic this summer. New jewelry has slinky and subtle grace. I*or a deep V gown nothing could be more comp! iimentary than a platinum necklace set with emeralds and diamonds, with a cabachon emerald pendant. Pendant earrings, of like design add intriguing beauty. New bracelets are wide but so delicately designed that they never appear heavy. Rings are apt to take geometric settings. An emerald is cut skyscraper motif and a platinum ring has three diagonal stripes of diamonds.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ • m m THEIR LETTERS
Dear Mary: I was delighted to get your last letter, even though I have been slow about answering it. You see, I have been having company. Cousins Grace and Mabel have been here since last Friday, and I have been very busy entertaining them. As you know, this is rather difficult. Whenever I am with them very long, I always am glad that you are as you are, even if you worry me to death at times. For you may find yourself some day. and If you don’t, you at least will have made an effort to do so. Both Grace and Mabel are over 40 now, and neither has ever had any great happiness or achieved anything that required any effort. They did not marry, though they had excellent opportunities in their youth: they never wanted to work, nor never seemed to have any motivation in their lives. They belong to the generation that did not work unless it had to. Their parents would have considered it a reflection upon their standing, had their daughters wanted to work. I remember they always were held up to the rest of the family as such ideal girls—they always did just what their parents told them to. But today they are tragic women. Their lives are absolutely empty, In spite of good incomes, a comfortable home, and no pressing worries. They seem to me to hata missed everything important in life, and not to know what they missed. Now that their parents are dead they live in that big house in Centerville, and were quite shocked when I suggested that they move into anew, modern apartment. They would consider that sacriligious, even though they have great trouble Jceeping help, and that old place is inconvenient and hard to keep up. Grace would like to adopt a child, but Mable thinks that would be more than they could tackle between them. So they just continue to live on, in the least eventful fashion, making as much effort over buying anew coat or anew range as the average woman would to bringing up a family. I think in the future there will be fewer such tragic figures among middle-aged women, because the young people today have more curiosity and courage, and more of a sense of the importance of achievement. They sent their love to you, and were much interested in your life in the city. And encouragement from you doubtless would bring them for a visit. I think it would
