VIEWS OF PICKFAIR, ‘HOME, S WEET HOME’ TO DOUG AND MARY

Wife Describes Misery of Life With Husband Bound by Routine Mind BY MARTHA LEE THE routine mind is perhaps the most deadly thing about marriage, especially if the other party to the contract happens to have an imagination, an adventurous mind, a progressive mind. For one who likes a.dash of chicken ala king mixed into the boiled beef and cabbage of everyday living, there is very little satisfaction to be derived from seeing a man turn up his nose at every forward movement, be it nothing more drastic than anew way to fry pork chops. Now there is nothing concerning this theme that could be more revealing, more enlightening than the following letter:

Dear Miss Lee—l am 20 and married to a man 24 We have been married four months and X find he can’t even cut himself a piece of bread without fussing about It and he simply must have everything just so, or he is miserable. If I try any new recipes or try to fix old dishes up differently he won’t eat them. He wants the same old thing day in and day out. Wlfat fun is there for me in keeping house? He growls if something doesn’t taste just so and his mother told me he was hard to please, and she was glad when he got married so she wouldn’t have to worry with him. Still I was so in love with him X thought he would change. He said he would never treat me that way. I have his meals ready to sit down to when he comes in and if the food is too hot he raves, yet I never know when he will be home. I have had no experience at all, one might say, in cooking, but how can I get anywhere if he will only eat certain things fixed certain ways? We never go anywhere through the week excepting to his mother’s house, and he is always tired, though he was never tired when we went together. He doesn't make ever me at all. He says people don’t do that after they are married. I can’t go to shows and I don’t know anyv one in this neighborhood, and I am lonesome. He tron't help me dc the dishes or anything like that, and I have to wait on him like he was a 2-year-old kid. When he gets .angry with me he says nobody else would have had me but him, and that all the men X ever went with were no good. I am not a prize beauty, but I am attractive enough that men admire me. I only knew him three months before we were married and I guess I didn’t give him enough competition. I have often read about the vanity of men. but I never knew it was true. My man sure loves himself and has he got pride? He needs waking up. I think I can do it by walking out one of these days and let him miss someone to do things for him. I’ve threatened to do this, but he says he won’t change, even if I do; that he never intends to get crazy about any woman. I was married before, when I was quite young and my other husband made over me constantly and did everything to try t omake me happy. My present husband doesn’t even make a good companion. He won't talk and when he does say anything it is to brag about where he’s been and what he has. He won't allow me to have my own ideas on any subject and it doesn’t do any good anyway, because he’s always right and you might as well say so right off the bat and save your breath. I till you, Miss Lee. it’s men like him that drive women to step out. And in spite of all the crabbing I have done in this letter, I love him dearly. I just want to wake him up though. Should I stick around until he gets some sense or shall I leave }li m v POLLYANA. With your sense of humor, Pollyanna, your fire and spirit, all of which have been displayed in your letter I would say you were perfectly capable of putting the young benedict in his place every once in a while and quite decisively. I know the!'*: things must be boring to you ana it certainly does stir up one’s self-esteem to have anyone say you couldn’t have gotten anyone else anyway, like he was the big hearted Charlie and took you off everybody’s else’ hands, but then he seems to be a pretty good sort after all. He gives you comfortable security, a nice stable character to have around. He is serious and takes life and marriage as something far different than do most young husbands. I’m a little afraid he is taking it more like a bad case of smallpox rather than a nice amusing interesting game of cross word puzzle. Stay with him. He’s really nice and you can make the best of a few unpleasantnesses, I can tell by your letter.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

OFTEN pointed out as the most beautiful home in California, Pickfair, the Beverly Hills home of Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, has just undergone complete interior redecoration. Here you see several of its charming and spacious rooms. Pickfair treats its upstairs hallway (left) like a living room and makes of it a charming spot. Everything in the room is English eighteenth century. The round Savonniere rug strikes the color note which is carried out in decorative glazed chintz curtains with floral Valance. The davenport and wing chairs repeat it. The little lamps are Royal Worchester and the decorative porcelains old English ones. The living room (right) has luxurious beauty, yet achieves peaceful simplicity. Each of its very wide chairs and the deep davenport >f gleaming damask has its own footstool. The grouping about a fireplace is natural and exceedingly attractive. Below is Miss Pickford by the fireplace in the formal dining room. She devised this decorative sliding mirror to screen it when not in use, but the mirror slides out of sight when a fire burns on the hearth. Occupants of the guest room pictured at the bottom have the thrill of sleeping in famous beds and sitting on famous chairs. All the furniture here comes from the Baroness Burdette Coutts collection, London.

Big, ripe persimmons make a delicious and unusual dessert if sliced, like peaches, and served with thick cream. ■?

YOUR CHILD Why Football Lures Boys |

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON It is almos’; impossible for mothers of boys to keep from worrying when fall comes along and the inevitable football teams oiganize. The first frosty air seems to reek of pigskin nowadays for the average boy, be he £ or 18. Nutting parties and “cooning” arc no longer the autumn pastimes they used to be. There are anxious moments when mothers first observe the symptoms of football fever, and they begin to look anxiously to their supplies of arnica, bandage rolls, adhesive plaster and other first-aid equipment. It is the best they can do, for most of them have discovered the futility of protest. The affinity of a boy for a football either personally cr by proxy, is as natural as they day. But when any human being develops such an obsession as the small, medium, or oig boy does for a football, there is usually a reason. There is decidedly a reason in football. It is group spirit—team spirit, or whatever you want to call it. Let us not despise the thrill of a forward pass or a goal kick, but such things alone would not make the el-' lipsoid immortal. Team spirit is ) one of the finest influences on character that can be found. It need not, of course, necessarily be football; other games can and do arouse team spirit. But I mention football particularly not only because it is in the air just now, but because so many mothers are beginning to worry about their boys getting hurt. True, every year brings its crop of sprains, breaks and even more serious casualties, but I would venture to suggest that the average boy is safer on a football field than he is in an automobile nowadays. I mean safer from really serious accident.

The question of football versus lessons is diffeernt. Each family must decide that for itself, or rather for its young Grange. I can only answer that there is a time and place for everything. My thought is chiefly for apprehensive mothers who are hesitating about giving their boys permission to play, on the .ground that they are likely to get hurt in a "foolish game that doesn't amount to anything." No clean-cut outdoor sport ever can be that. To Hold Meeting The regular business meeting of Phi Delta Chi Sorority will be held at the Spink-Arms hotel this evening. Slashed Edges The lower edge of the jacket of a caramel colored velvet suit is slashed up a few inches, in ten places, with each slash piped in dark brown. Radiator Tops If you cannot afford one of the. enclosed radiator cases, a nice top that is usable for a magazine rack can be made by using a board the size of the radiator, painting it the color of the woodwork and fastening it to the radiator with cleats. Curtains like your drapes or those made of pongee can entirely cover the radiator.

Church Rite for Nuptials in Afternoon The marriage of Miss Diana Greenspan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Greenspan, 808 South Illionis street, and Morris Olshan took place at 3:30 Sunday afternoon at the Kness Israel congregation synagogue, Rabbi Samuel Levin reading the service before the pulpit banked with palms and ferns. Preceding the ceremony, Mrs. Esther Arnold sang “I Love You Truly” and “At Dawning.” Miss Clara Henry, pianist, played a group of bridal airs including “Melodies of Love’ ’and “The Bridal Chorus” from Lohengrin. During the ceremony she played “To a Wild Rose.” Miss Greenspans only attendant, her sister, Mrs. Phillip Bernstein, wore a gown of dark blue crepe romaine shading to poudre blue. She carried an arm bouquet of Columbia roses. Phillip Bernstein was Dest man. The bride wore white taffeta made with a tight bodice and uneven hemline, edged with chiffon, her veil had a band of Chantilly lace and a wreath of orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of bride’s roses. Misses Marion Davis and Helen Regenstriff were flower girls. A reception followed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Olshan are on a trip to Chicago. They will be at home at 423 East Thirty-Third street.
