League in Business to Aid Charity BY JOSEPHINE DORAN Society Editor. The Times COULD you possibly find use for a most sophisticated evening gown by Milgrim, made with a sleek skirt draped on one side of sheer, black transparent velvet, with a white chiffon top, done all over with designs in rhinestones? And with that a dream of an evening wrap of black velvet, with a deep white fur collar to burrow your chin in, during a cold blast? Have you need for a lovely pair of wrought iron curtain rods, just the last touch for a bride’s cunning living room, really. Or an antique chest old, but not too old, (just a hundred) to put your linens in while you are praying for Prince Charming? Or anew dress for the baby? Or a stove to keep the cottage warm and a radio to amuse the kiddies and make Friend Husband stay home from the club, trying to get the latest dope on the Tunneys? Or a gold antique necklace to wear around a slender throat? Or an extra half dozen spoons for “company”? or an oil painting to hang over the fireplace? or (and this is priceless, if you know what I mean) the bust of a woman done in plaster of paris, name unknown? Opening Monday Then Monday, my dears (you see I take it for granted you must need one of these things and besides, I haven’t told anything yet) bright and early, not too early, about 9 would be just cricket, hie yourself down to the Trading Post. It stands out like a gem in an ash heap on the corner of Fourteenth and Ilinois Sts., with a black and white and red sign that simply defies you to miss it. And the clerks will be none other than members of the Junior League of Indianapolis, these women whose pictures you see in yon layout, who have organized the Trading Post for the sake of everyone in general, as far as I can figure it out. If you don’t want to buy something, you surely have something you would like to sell, like an old tea gown or-a discarded baby carriage. It will be sold for you, for a 25 per cent commission. Set your price and there you are. Now, who could resist a place that might be Dicken’s Old Curiosity shop or the hangout, for that Japanese sandman, who is trading silver for gold? All these things are, of course, second hand, but why bring that up? One would scarcely know. The Junior League is running this shop sx> that those who have things they don’t want can get rid of them and those who haven’t got what they want can have them, and ultimately that the occupational therapy department of Riley hospital, which the Junior League maintains, may be enlarged and improved. Where Money Goes And that you might know what a really worthy cause this is: Occupational therapy is defined as any physical or mental activity prescribed under the advice of experts for the purpose of hastening recovery from disease or injury and contributing to the happiness and contentment of those who are ill. The Junior League originated and maintains this department in the hospital. Their activities are all carried on for the purpose of building up the department to a high state of efficiency. The Trading Post is an innovation. It gives everyone a perfectly wonderful break. The purchaser gets something he want? ,nd needs for practically nothing. The owner, who has outgrown the article, reaps benefit and the Occupational Therapy department sees itself swelling with renewed activity. Isn’t life wonderful! Those wno have articles they do not want and need might, if they were so inclined, donate them. Then all the proceeds would go toward charity. Mrs. Charles R. Weiss is chairman; Mrs. Jesse Fletcher, vicechairman, with Mesdames George T. Parry, Sidney S. Miller, Smiley Chambers and Miss Marea Haueisen, as her assistants. Any contributions should be called to Mrs. Weiss, Washington 3903, or Mrs. Fletcher, Washington 1975. Information may also be found there in abundance, concerning all the little ins and outs and workings of this fas'cinating shop.

GIRL ABOUT TOWN

Knight errantry has not vanished from the earth nor gallantry from tbs heart of man. (This is going to be good when I get to it.) In an absent-minded moment the other day Eleanor Gurley found herself going to Muncie for no other reason than she had forgotten to get off the train before it left the station. She had gone to the station to put a friend on the Cleveland train, and after bidding her an engrossing farewell, looked up to see the passing telegraph poles poking fun at her. She and the girl friend went into a huddle and discovered one of them had the exact fare to Cleveland and Eleanor’s unearned increment was 2 cents. Train officials began to accumulate and girlish explanations were just getting nowhere fast. When who should walk down the aisle big as life and twice as natural but D. Lawrence Chambers himself. Comprehending the situation in his calm, perspicacious manner he put himself at the disposal of damsels in distress and slew the dragon. Then everybody went into the diner and had lunch, which is always a sensible idea. tt tt tt Sunday was such a gorgeous

golden laze of a day that with one accord we dropped everything and made for Fred Bates Johnsons adorable mid-American inn, the Nashville House, in Brown County, fortified with steak, bacon, tomatoes, sandwiches, grilles, cake and coffee. We went down in Mr. and Mrs. Edwin McNally’s car, but I nearly had to walk home. Everything would have been all right if I hadn’t seen a string of horses on top of Bear Wallow Hill. And whenever I see a horse I just go native. My personality splits and what doesn’t go elemental goes atavistic. Thr e was one long, lank hungry - looking stallion that simply fascinated me. Heedless of Julius Caesar’s admonition about yon Cassius having “a lean and hungry look,” I vaunted gaily upon the animal’s back and immediately rode off wildly in all directions! The stirrups were several yards too long for me, the horse was going about 80 miles an hour down Bear Wallow Hill, my hair was streaming, and my skirts were nowhere in particular that anybody could notice. Martha Lee, what does one do under conditions like that? ' Remembering my mother’s advice

'never to get down and walk, I began to focus my attention on the matter of sticking on to some portion of the animal’s anatomy, and found myself necking him violently. In the meantime, the lad who owned the horse, seeing it cutting up a dido or two, so to speak, grabbed another horse and started after me yelling to me to "Hold him! Hold him!” Which struck me as a trifle redundant as I was just strangling him at the time. When he finally caught up with us —yon Cassius and me—l was so disorganized all I could think of to say was, "I’m terribly sorry, I’m afraid I’m showing # my anatomy!” Whereupon he returned with delightful aplomb, “Don’t apologize. I thought you were breaking your neck!” Bruised, disheveled, but unchastened, I subsided in the back seat and didn’t break the silence until we got to Beanblossom. I w'as trying to get my breath. At Beanblossom, in a very small voice, I asked for a "coke” and a cushion. I’m still using thu cushion. And the moral of this story is: The cowboys who yell "Stick on ’em,

cowgirl,” in the wild West ain’t seen nothin’ yet. They ain’t seen yon Cassius! tt tt tt Years later when we got> back to Indianapolis, we went out to the McNally's for tea and had waffles and maple syrup and ice-cream with chocolate fudge sauce and indigestion. Then we built a huge fire in the fireplace and turned out all the lamps, and sat here com- and repletely satisfied with the world and his wife and his cousins and his sisters and his aunts. Isn’t that an ideal environment to 101 l around in and grow noddy and platitudinous? Not we.
