BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

WELL, friends, it looks like a rescue is under way. All hope must not be abandoned. America will be saved. And by no less a person than Colonel William Joseph Simmons, erstwhile head of the noble order of the Ku-Klux Klan. He just has organized an entirely new society, w r e read, his third. It is to be called “The White Band’’ (which brings up shivery recollections of a battered volume of Sherlock Holmes), and it will welcome Jews, Catholics and non-Christians to its ranks. Nothing has been said about 98 per cent Americans, but the inference is that they will be admitted" also. * It will be open to any one, in fact, “so long as he is of the white race, and believes in his government and his race, and has a good reputation.” That lets out a few of us, of course, but nevertheless the colonel is generous this time, very generous. But wait until you hear the grandest news about this order. The uniforms will be gaudy things done in red, white and blue, the national colors, you remember. Red shoes, knee length capes, blue knee length breeches and blue hats. Won’t that makea wonderful parade? Isn’t your mouth fairly watering for a sight of one? tt tt a SO far the dispatches do not tell us just what we are to be saved from. The humble black man, or maybe the savage Osage, as they are the only persons Mr. Simmons is discriminating against. However, the colonel, who was, according to his own story, litafcally compelled to sell out his rights in the dear old K. K. K. for the paltry sum of $146,000, is growing more tolerant with the ygars. The very same Jews and Catholics against whom he warned us so earnestly and whom he worked so hard to abolish he now is taking to his heart and his order. It indeed is touching to see the the triumph of Christian charity over pride of birth. And if our great American fireeating colonel can get the black brother any more downtrodden than he is now, or the red brother and more thoroughly looted, he’ll certainly be good. Men have been knighted for less. CLUB CARING FOR FAMILY OF TEN Mrs. O. E. Anthony entertained members of the Luncheon-Bridge Club at her home, 308 West Twentyeight street, today with a covered dish luncheon. The club is caring for a needy family of ten. Guests at the luncheon were: Mesdames H. L. Lacey, Edward Ferger, A. E. Belknap, J. M. Martin, Sherley Deming, C. F. Neu, T. A. Bell. Harry Orlopp, Frank Sparks, Ernest Michaelis, H. H. Bushong, Walter Brandt and Q. T. Noblitt. Mrs. Walter R. Jarvis and Mrs. Paul Akin were honor guests. Dance to Be Given Christian Park Women’s Club will sponsor a dance Saturday night at the community house, the proceeds to be used for a Christmas tree for the children of the community.

A Statement of Policy on Store Hours LS. Ayres and Company was the first Indianapolis de- • partment store to abolish night opening—in the belief that better working conditions make for better service. The past quarter of a century seems to have proven the wisdom of our stand. We believe the comfort and convenience of the shopping public are best served by a continuance of our regular hours. Ayres’ Store Hours —Beginning Saturday, December 13, to and including December 24—are from 9:00 A. M. to 6:00 P. M. L. S. Ayres & Cos.

Girls Mend Toys for Children Santa Claus has issued a call for help at the Camp Fire Girls office. The organization’s “toy shop” on the fourth floor of the Pennway building is a child's dream of toyland, but Santa Claus himself is appalled by the task of repairing all the toys by Christmas eve. All the Camp Fire girls, guardians, friends and some Boy Scouts are helping to repair and redecorate the hundreds of toys which served as admission to movie parties at several neighborhood theaters. When all the dolls with dirty, scratched faces are painted and dressed in clean new clothes, many needy little girls In Indianapolis will be able to say Santa Claus remembered where they lived, for all these toys will be distributed through welfare societies Christmas eve to the homes of needy children. Doll furniture, mechanical toys, doll carriages, kiddie cars, scooters and every other kind of a plaything makes up the “toy shop.” All sorts of dolls, big dolls, little dolls, fat dolls, slim dolls, mama dolls, baby dolls, rag dolls and every other kind are in the workshop to be repaired or redecorated. Any one willing to help Santa Claus may call him at Ri. 5221.

Embarrassing Moments You can avoid them. The trick Is in knowing what to do, when to do it, how to do it. Good manners and good form are the lubricants that make the wheels of intercourse and pleasurable contact between people go round smoothly. Knowing when and how to do the “proper thing”—the thing that is expected of well bred persons everywhere—is of incalculable advantage in the course of life.

Dance if You’d Be Lithesome, Graceful, Says Marilyn Miller

'%rsr / * : } -

Marilyn Miller

BY MARIE BEYNON RAY (Copyright, 1930, Collier’s Weekly) When Marilyn Miller dances, every woman in the audience is bland, slim, weightless and 18, clad in a powder puff of pink tulle and floating like thistledown from wing to wing of the scene. And when she stops, they all slip back into bodies which suddenly seem strangely old and heavy. For a long time after, they wish vaguely that they had taken up dancing when they were 16. But even today, even if we are 50, even if we weigh 160 pounds, it isn’t too late to acquire some of Marilyn’s grace and litheness. We can, if we will take up in our pedestrian way this lovely art of hers, put a wing on our every pound of flesh. The “daily dozen” have charms only for those rugged souls who can leap, shouting, into a cold tub

every morning, but dancing is the primrose path back to 18, 120 pounds of health and beauty. “If you have a room of your own,” says Marilyn Miller, “a phonograph and two legs, you can take as practical a course in dancing as any school can give you. “For those who want to take their dancing at home, to take as much or as little of it as they choose, excellent courses have been worked out by some of the foremost teachers in America. Charts Make It Easy “With charts, bars, gym suits, sLppers, printed instructions, music records and every other necessity provided. thes courses make it as simple to learn dancing at home as in a completely equipped ballet school. “If I were asked to choose the one perfect form of exercise, especially for a woman, I should certainly select dancing. “No other kind of exercise—riding, swimming, tennis, golf—gives the complete limbering that dancing gives, for it brings into play every muscle in the body, from the big muscles in the torso to the delicate muscles in the fingers and toes and even those that control facial expression. Stretching Does the Work “The foundation of every course in dancing is the stretching and limbering exercises which make the human body as flexible as a panther’s. “The kind of dancing you do to keep young and beautiful is a matter of choice—ballet, esthetic, tap, acrobatic, adagio, Jazz, toe, eccentric toe, buck and wing, softshoe, clog, jig, reel, legmania—whatever suits your temperament. “No one is too old, too fat, too tired to be benefited by this form of exercise which can be perefectly adjusted, as so many sports cannot, to any constitution.”
