THE GIRL ABOUT TOWN BY MARILYN

And then *gain on the ether . hand, every cnee in a while I get a spasmodic attack of contract. It has an unholy fascination just like pop-corn. The more you have of it. the more you crave. Played a conversational game at Mabel Gasa' - ay's the ether afternoon with Mrs. Horace Nordyke, Mrs. William Griffith. Mrs. Julian Fauvre. Mrs. Paul Fisher, Mrs. Addison Parry and Mabel. Mrs. Parry recently has returned 1 from a six weeks' trip to England and France and was full of interesting reactions. She adored wandering around the streets of London, lunched at the famoit Cheshire Cheese, made wpular by Dr. Johnson. and caught a glimpse of the vee princess Lilybett, the most famous child in all England, daughter of the duke *nd princess cf York. Then she and Addison went to Paris and railed from France with Selwyn Stanley, two Paris gowns, and regret. Selwyn. a popular member of Indianapolis' younger Country Club set, -aw is living in the same apartment with Morris Hamilton in New York—two gay young men about town. Vital Conversation Mrs. Nordyke had just received a cablegram from her mother, Mrs William L. Horne, who has landed at Cherbourg on her summer's European trip. Occasionally, girl parties are rather fun—in hot weather I think I almost prefer them because then , the limpness of one's frock and the wetness of one's brow is not such a matter of life or death. Last night I played contract with three unusually decorative girls— Mrs. Nordyke, Mabel Gasaway. and Mrs. Josephine Recker. Summer frocks for spur-of-the-moment bridge foursomes are cool and delectable. Mrs- Nordyke wore a green and white tiny 7 polka-dotted

crepe de chine. A dainty blue crepe de chine made simply tied with a soft blue bow at the blouse accentuated the brunette coloring of Miss Gasaway. Mrs. Recker wore a brown lace and chiffon frock with brown slippers and hose. The bridge game was only incidental, but the conversation was vital. It seems that many of the young Indianapolis mothers are going to the euthenics school at Vassar college in Poughkeepsie, New York, for a six weeks’ course this summer.

It is a course in intensive child training and child psychology with the children themselves as small I laboratory experiments- Mrs. lies Ogle is taking young Teddy. Mrs. Fred Bates Johnson has motored to Poukhkeepsie taking her two youngest boys, Frank and Carl. Mrs. Gall Sayles has gone agaip this year for the second time taking her little girl. And Mrs. Maur.ce Angell has motored east with her small son. Ail the young mothers who have attended the euthenics school have come back radiantly enthusiastic about the work. The children are placed in special nursey schools wnile the mothers : take the actual work and see their children for only one hour a day. In the fall won't it be interesting to hear them all compare the summer's notes? Should you ask me what “euthen ics" means. I can cio no better than to refer you to Mr. Webster who says it is the ‘s'ciei.ce aiming at the betterment of environment through conscious endeavor, in order to secure efficient numun beings.” North, east and west. Everybody begins to light out when the first streak of scorching weather hits the town. Mrs. Donaid Jameson and Mrs. Dorothy Goodrich have taken a cottage at £ake Maxinkuekee,

Miss Mary Fishback leaves the first of July j for Baldpate inn. Helen Fleischer and Martha Fishback are both going to be counselors lat a girls’ camp near Fairlee, Vt. Helen leaves soon, going on a train, ' as chaperone to thirty-two infants! She’ll need the bracing mountain air for a summer of recuperation! Eleanor Evais Stout just dropped |in to tell me that Mr. and Mrs. ! Samuel Runnels Harrell et enfants | are hieing for the north woods quite | soon. In fact, by this time they probably have already hied. Mr. Harrell will remain at their cottage at Roaring Brook. Mich., over the Fourth before returning to the city And so they go! It gives one a i sort of deserted feeling, doesn't it? , And yet who knows? Let's kick up I our heels, throw off our Indianapolis inhibitions and step out. Asa cerj tain well-known Virginia gentleman j once remarked n a heavily-censored and beautifully written book called Jurgen:” ‘‘Almost anything can happen to practically any one any time.” So whoops, my dears!

MRS. VAN DYKE TO BE LUNCHEON HOSTESS

Mrs. George A. Van Dyke, 535 North Central court, will entertain the Women's Department Club auxiliary to the Public Health Nurses’ Association Tuesday at 12:30. Miss Beatrice Short, supervisor of nurses, and Mrs. Christian Olsen. chairman of the community welfare department of the Department club, will be honor guests. Breakfast Shortcake Fruit shortcakes make a delicious main course for summer breakfasts, queer as the idea may seem, says Florence Taft Eaton in “The Household Magazine.” A delectable strawberry shortcake is made cf rich baking powder crust and baked in two layers, the bottom brushed with butter before baking. Butter each half. These can be made in individual sizes. Heap with halved and sugared berries. Streaked Windows To prevent windows getting streaked while • washing, suggests a writer in “Successful Farming," add just a little kerosene to the warm water.

Your Child Baby Should Have Own Room; Make Nursery Bright, Cheery

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON If the President were to visit you, or the prince of Wales, or even rich Aunt Susan, you would find ways and means, no matter how much it crowded the family, to give the honored guest a room to himself. That is exactly the way the new baby should be treated, for a while at least. Every baby, whereever it is possible, should have a room to himself away from the air expired out of older lungs. Moreover, it should be a good room, the best in the house. It doesn’t matter, of course, about the size, but it does matter as to locaticn. It '.nay not be possible to meet all the requirements for the ideal baby's room, but it does not hurt to know what they are, and to make 2n effort in the right direction. Room Should Be Bright A bright sunny room should be chosen for the nursery. Sunshine enters into body building precisely as it does into plant growth. Bodies deprived of it wjll react as visibly as the sunless plant will droop and fail. The baby’s room, as a rule, should nave sun for many hours a day. During the hot summer days a more shaded room would ue better perhaps, but even so, a room perpetually shaded and cool may be close poorly ventilated and full of dead, germy air. ~ A cool room is not always a healthful room. Os course, a baby is outdoors more in summer, so that the night hours are the things to be considered. The sunny win, with good air that cools off toward evening, is not to be improved on. The idea of the special room for the baby is not merely a matter of

air and sun, however. His needs are different from those ot his older brothers and sisters, who have had their start, and when he has his own room, concessions may be made to these needs without inconveniencing the rest of the family, except perhaps, in the way of space. Needs Special Light For instance, he requires special light and special temperatures. We can not take it for granted that summer is all warm and winter all cold. With our continental climate and its sudden peculiar changes, every mother has to learn a careful adjustment to conditions that change overnight or often in an hour. The young baby has to be guarded against these changes even more carefully than his older and stronger brothers. A delicate baby particularly needs to be watched. For the first few weeks the day time temperature of the room for anew baby should be kept at about 70 degrees. On very hot days, of course, this is almost impossible. But on cool days it should be kept up to that. Watch His Clothing Night temperature for the baby should not fall more than ten or fifteen degrees lower than daytime temperature. He should have compensation for this by a little warmer clothing and covers. On hot days he should be dressed as coolly as possible. Often only a band and diaper will be necessary. His mother should always, however, have an eye to sudden changes and wind, and put extra clothing on him the minute it is necessary.

Girls Need Education in ‘Wife-Craft’ BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON “The woman is to blame for nearly every case of horn? unhappiness, says Mrs. Clara Witt, psychology teacher cf Kansas City. Theoretically, this is correc... If all women were wise and unselfish, no marriages would fail. The sad thing is that women are not wise, any more than men are good. The pity about life is that girls marrv without any knowledge and it takes them fifteen or twenty years just to know their husbands. If they can't handle both the man and the' situation by that time the marriage probably is done for. And if women knew'at 20 what they have learned ai 40. the divorce rate would take a terrible tumble. Mrs. Witt points out that women of todav have better educational opportunities than their grandmothers, but are not so successful in marriage because they are more selfish. All She Had to Know She might have added because they are too smart to put up with the things in matrimony that grandmothers took as a matter of course. The fact is that we educate girls these days in everything else but wife-craft. Upon that subject grandmother had far more instruction than we ever give. It was, indeed, all she did know, and the only educational course she ever got w as in handling a husband. She would have had to be an utter fool to fail at her one accomplishment. To say nothing of the fact that failure would have meant suicide, because in those days if you wanted to eat you had to have a man to feed you. Argument Is Good One Considering how hastily, irresponsibly and foolishly young people rush into marrage these days, I am constantly amazed that so many of them do manage to stick it out. Mrs. Witt’s argument is a very good one. .Only as usual it puts the entire burden upon the woman's shoulders. Certainly if every girl could be unselfish and wdlling to struggle through the hard years, marriage would succeed. Upon that system the old-fashioned kind was built. The woman stood for anything and by the time the man had one foot in the grave he had settled down peaceably in the harness. This ancient type of marriage whose passing we deplore was built upon unselfishness, with the wife supplying the article.
