Woman’s Day

BY ALLENE SUMNER Just what’s what about this drudgery of women of the past as compared with the lightsome lead of today’s woman? An article by Ernest Elmo Calkins, an advertising man who has more than done his bit toward making no home complete without this device and that to simplify homemaking, inspires the question. He writes on ‘The Emancipation of the Housewife.’’ • * m From Pump to Wood Box He spares no detail in painting the luridly hideous past for the housewife. He reminds us of the wooden sink into which soft water was pumped by an iron pump from a wooden cistern. He reminds us of the drinking water brought in from the well in the back yard, and how both well and cistern had to be “primed” with hot water in the cold weather. He reminds us that the only source of hot water was in the reservoir at the back of the kitchen stove. He reminds us of the problem of Saturday night baths in the wash tub set beside the kitchen stove, especially when the family was large and the stove reservoir had to be reinforced by kettles and dish pans of hot water. tt # * tt Baseburners and Soap He reminds ns that basebui uer.i were the only means for heating the rest of tlie house; that food was kept cool in summer by being hung down the well; that a family wash was done mostly with elbow grease and wash boards; that such things S3 electric or water power washers were utterly unknown, and that even soap powders to loosen the dirt were not available, and that the housewife had to even make her own laundry soap. m a a Beans and Bread Then he comes to the food phase of housekeeping problems. He reminds us that everything came to the kitchen in a raw state—that oatmeal and beans and dried fruits had to be soaked overnight; that bread and pancake batter had to be mixed and left to rise; that vegetables and fruits were chopped in a wooden bowl with a huge cleaver; he reminds us again and again of the impossibility of buying prepared jellies and jams and canned fruits and salads and desserts. Raw materials only came to the housewife. Then seasoning and stoning and chopping and drying and soaking and combining and cooking were all up to her. Dish-washing engrosses him next. No hot water; no special soap preparations, no dish dryers, not even scrapers for pots and pans. And paragraph after paragraph about lamps to be filled and cleaned, kindling to be cut and piled in the wood ]x>x, coffee bought green and roasted, and on and on and on with all the data that we know so well. # u n Can't Argue No matter how argumentative one is inclined, it would be sheer folly, of course, In the face of all this evidence, to try to argue that today’s woman because of her very convenience, because of the very surfeit of luxuries and necessities offered her, doesn’t have a much easier job than her grandmother.*. We won’t, therefore, try to argue that way at all. But the argument is there—that to some extent it’s

Don’t Neglect a Cold Now,is Doctor’s Advice

Don't neglect any cold nowadays. Colds are so weakening* and in a weakened condition, you are so susceptible to more serious troubles. When you find you are catching cold, take care to keep the bowels open. That’s the first precaution every doctor advises. That’s the way to avoid the congestion which makes you feverish, achy, half-sick, miserable. Millions know the quick way to open the bowels, keep them active, is with Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup of Pepsin. Every second of the day someone somewhere is going into a drug store to get a bottle of tliis splendid medicine, made from simple laxative herbs and pepsin by the f" mula Doctor Caldwell found so elective during his 47 years' medical practice. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup of Pepsin is mild a>id gentle in its action, but it is pi jmptly effective on the most robust constitution. Containing neither narcotics or opiates, it iSs safe for the tiniest baby. Children like it and take it gladly. For colds, fevers, biliousness, indigestion, headaches, heartburn, nausea, bad breath, loss of sleep—any t roubles caused by poor digestion or faulty evacuation. Dr. Caldwell’s

MISS MARILLA LEMAUX is pictured in a frock of black transparent velvet, which she wore this afternoon at the bridge party given by Miss Martha Fitton, 3225 North Meridian street, for Miss Anne Jones, Philadelphia, Pa., who is in Indianapolis , visiting Miss Sally Thomas. The dress is distinctive with its full skirt with uneven hemline, set low over the hips on a slanting yoke. THE initial shirred neck and tiny bows of self material are the only trimming. With this, Miss Lemaux wore a black felt hat, fitted across the front, with a tuck to the back in a flare. A black silk tassel dangled over one ear, from beneath the crown. Her shoes were black suede, worn with cream hose, matching the cream clasp on her black antelope bag.

A furnace isn’t so much less bother than a stove, and a bathroom is one more room to keep clean. MISS HELEN KERR TO MARRY FRANK SHAW Mr. and Mrs. Edward B.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Faith and Hope Lessen Bitterness BY MARTHA LEE The grandest virtues in the world, as applied to individuals, are faith and hope. Charity is the greatest, but faith and hope are the grandest, because it is usually when charity has failed, that hope and faith come up to help a person over the rough spots, to see that he gets through the black days without being embittered and desolate. Usually, if charity had had a hand in things in the first place, the results would not have to be feared. If an individual, in his dealings with another individual, would think ahead to the results that deceit and lying might bring about, there would not be the danger of lost faith in everything that was once held sacred. Take a boy, for instance, who, in order to gain something, leads a girl into believing he loves her with an undying - ission, that life without her wou’ be nothing at all, that if she doe? not say "yes” he will make a mad dash for White river, and there wash away the anguish that is in his heart. The poor girl, bowled over by the dramatic intensity of the situation, takes it all in and thinks it’s duck soup. Os course, she is silly. But no person has a right to cash in on the :oolishness of another person. Soon enough she finds out, as they used to say in the silent “drammer,” that she has been duped; that this young man can live very comfortably without her or the thought that she exists. She grows bitter and cynical. One little act of charity on the part of the boy in the flraft place would have saved all this heavy strain on faith and hope. I have a letter today from a girl who has had two rather hard blows: Dear Miss Lee —I am 25 years old. When I was 17 years old I started going with a boy from another town, who was going to college in my home town. I grew to like him very much. As I am an only child, my parents were more strict with me than most parents, and when I had dates, we usually stayed home or went to a movie. I went with this boy during his first three years in school. He was out to my house, after I was graduated from high school, morning, noon and night. He was a guest at our house for luncheon and dinner about five nights out of the week. Finally, one night w'e had a small quarrel. He did not come back the next day, or the next week. I heard he was running around with a group of boys, drinking and carrying on. We had been engaged for the past year, and were to have been married when he wa’i graduated. Well, the story is that he turned me flat. After that one quarrel he never came back and finally married another girl. X was simply heartbroken. For a year I would not go out any place. I had a hope chest filled with things I had made in preparation for our marriage and a number of things to be. completed. Every time I looked at these X thought I would die from the bitterness that filled m.v heart. I met another boy, an older fellow, who was very attentive to me. He took me out and treated me wonderfully. Finally, he tpld me he loved ma and wanted to marry me. I consented and he bought me a beautiful diamond. Everything w T as going fine. Oui* plans were completed for our marriage the billowing month, when a check was brought to me that had been forged by my fiance. I was simply stunned, and of course, believed there would be an explanation as soon as I saw him. There was, and I was satisfied with it. Then a few weeks later the jeweler took my engagement ring away from me. There were a few more forgeries and I had to give him up. I am absolutely desolate. I no longer have faith in anybody or anything. I don’t want to be that way. It doesn’t seem right though. All tny life I have tried so hard to do the right thing. I have never wilfully injured any one as long as I have lived, and yet these things must happen to me. JEANETTE. That is your consolation, Jeanette, that because you have always been fair about things you get let out of misery such as you have never known by marrying a man who did not really love you or a crook. Just count on that old faith and hope to pull you through the dark days and before you know it you’ll find someone who looks at life as you do, who will bring you enough happiness te make up for all those heart breaks. In the meantime, don’t get a frown on your face. It is very dampening to romance. MRS. CARSTEN GIVES PARTY FOR VISITORS Honoring her daughter, Mrs. Herbert Evans, Birmingham, Ala.; Mrs. Luke Schaifley, Ft.

.Seek Harmony in Decorations and Balance of Objects in Room

In this living room note how the fireplace group blends together—furniture, floor and walls.

Editor’s Note—This is the third of a series of articles written for The Times and NEA Service By William H. Wilson, vice-president of the American Furniture Mart and an acknowledged authority on interior decoration and period furniture. BY WILLIAM H. WILSON Six plane surfaces—four walls, floor and ceiling—compose the usual room. The problem of arrangement is. to place furniture, fixtures and decorations so that each separate . surface by itself is balanced pleasantly, at the same time blending into a harmonious whole. Each chair must be placed so that it conforms to what is behind it on the wall, and underneath it on the floor. Pictures and draperies can not be considered separ-

-MAKING HOMES BEAUTIFUL

ately, but must fit into the group formed by furniture and walls. * There are two means of achieving arrangement, absolute symmetry and balance. Taking a mantelpiece as an example; two duplicate candlesticks may be placed at the same distance from a clock in the center, and symmetry is achieved. Or a cigaret box may be placed where the candlesticks were, and two books of approximately the same size as the humidor placed in contraposition, giving balance. In placing things upon the wall, it is well to remember that an optical illusion causes the eye to place the center of any space slightly above the mathematical middle. Pictures should be placed on the wall so that their optical center is on a level with the eye. Pictures hung from moulding should be dropped on wires which run parallel with the bounding walls. When the wire is attached in the form of an inverted V, the wire does not conform to the lines of the room, and the arrow formed by the triangle tends to center vision on the hook, which is unimportant, while distracting from the picture.

Women Copy Men in Chib Song Craze BY MRS, WALTER FERGUSON The National Federation of Business and Professional Women is offering a prize for the best official song for the organization. Here is a disappointing incident, official songs are already roaring down the welkin, whatever that is. From the International Rotary to the Dark Town Ladies Aid Society, we have melodies* and madrigals, cadenzas and canticles, ditties and dirges. The air is crowded with yowlings and from every lodge room there issues the strident notes of somebody trying to sing who can’t. There seems to be a general idea at large that no organization or class meeting can get under w’ay until some close harmony has been tried. Perhaps it’s all right. Those folk who understand the spirit of conventions seem to believe that singing is the thing. My opinion is worth nothing. But, even so, the sufferer may be expected to protest. And heaven defend us from female voices alone! If these business and professional women can ring in a few tenors and basses and barytones from somewhere to give body and volume to their favorite chant, all may be well. But nothing is so painful, so altogether depressing, as the sound of a bunch of women trying to sing when they don’t know how. The flat notes, the misplaced adagios, the crescendos when the score calls for diminuendos, is really awful. And how monotonous is life! We had hoped the women would think up something different and especially the business and professional women. Yet here they go copy-cat-ting after the men. They insist on doing things exactly like the men have for the last two decdaes. What disillusion the year's bring! Organizations are bad enough, but organizations that sing are awful. Can’t individual members who feel the urge be persuaded to perform in the privacy of their own room? Ball Committees of Little Theatre to Be Appointed Mrs. George T. Parry will be hostess for a meeting of the administrative committee of the Indianapolis Little Theatre to be held at 3 Saturday afternoon at her home, 4542 North Delaware street. Complete committee appointments for the annual costume ball to be given by the Little Theatre Monday night, April 1, will be made at the meeting. Those attending will be Miss Sara Lauter, chairman: Mesdames Raymond P. Van Camp, J. A. Goodman, Walter Lieber, William H. Cobum, Mortimer C. Furscott, J. Benson Titus and Raymond P. Mead; Misses Rosamond Van Camp, Anna Louise Griffith, Eldena Lauter, Mary McMeans, Jane Ogbom and Helen Coffey.
