Just Every Day Sense

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BEING miserable for no good reason seems to be fashionable this season for married women. For instance, a bride of a year, who writes that she adores her husband and that he is very good to her, is beset by a terrific fear that what she feels may not be real love after all. She is haunted by a dread that there may be something in his life that she does not know about. Now, if this were just one letter describing the symptoms of one person, we merely might advise the bride to see a doctor or take a good dose of sulphur and molasses. But, alas, it is the sort of thing one hears on all sides nowadays. Married women make the most frantic efforts to rake up something to cry about. They believe that unless they can be sad, they can not be interesting. They do love to have a secret sorrow. If they haven’t a real woe, they muster up a lot of imaginary ones. ' a a a THIS is the result of several things. Too many movies, too much of the wrong kind of reading. And, more important yet, not enough work to do. I am willing to admit that the plight of the intelligent wife whose husband makes a good income is sometimes pathetic. She may have an eager, curious mind and a strong body, and therefore is unhappy because she has not enough outlets for her mental energies. Housework is easy these days. Some wives feel obliged to keep maids because of their husbands’ positions, or at least that is what they think. After their children get to school age, many of them take up bridge, and by and by life stretches before them as one long, inane afternoon party. They become pai stricken, and w ell they may. The little bride probably will recover. A couple of babies wouln be a great help to her. But just what some of these mature women are going to do is another problem. Idleness is our one great mischief maker, and the deadliest foe of happiness. And idleness is what too many American women have to fight against. Alumnae Club Installs Miss Bernice Gaskins recently was installed as president of Indianapolis Alumnae Club of Alpha Delta Pi sorority. Other officers are: Misses Pauline Plummer, vice-president; Mary McDonald, recording secretary; Mary McCormick, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Iris Hlnshaw Myers, treasurer, and Mrs. Hacel Reynolds Grob, Pan-Heilenlo representative. GirVs Group to Dine Girls’ Friendly Society of the Christ Episcopal church will hold Its annual spring dinner Tuesday night at the church. The organization will hold admission services for seven new members at the church services Sunday morning. Chapter to Meet Alpha chapter, Gamma Delta Alpha sorority, will hold a business meeting at 8 tonight at the Antlers.

What’s in Fashion?

Versatile Silk Suits —Directed By AMOS PARRISH—

Left, printed silk suit with soft jabot revers; center, the cardigan type suit; right, double-breasted, collarless suit.

NEW YORK, May 25.—What are you going to wear when you spend a day shopping in the city this summer? What are you going to wear when you travel? What are you going to wear to t.he office—if you have to go to one? What are you going to wear for dinner and theater after business hours? Sort of makes you stop and wonder if your wardrobe is ample enough, doesn’t it? But we know many fashionable women who do all these things in one smart costume. A silk suit. And this is why: The mere fact that the word “suit” implies a costume tailored enough for town avenues and shops, for trains and for offices. The fact that they are of silk and soft and dressy-like takes them cut of the strictly informal enough for lunching, tea-ing and going to the theater. The fact that all kinds of blouses go with them—smart tailored ones and soft frilly ones—makes it possible to change the looks of the costume each time you wear the suit. In Dark Colors For most satisfactory, all-round use these suits in black, navy or dark brown are best. But there are good-looking ones in dark ground prints, such as polka dots or small tailored figures, that look even more dress-like than the plain colors. There are lots of kinds of silk suits this season. One of the best is the type that fastens over to one side. You’ll remember that this same type is one of the most fashionable spring wool suits, too. The one illustrated at the right is collarless. But others have collars . . . narrow roll ones or flat, turned-back, lapel ones. \ Cardigan Type Then there are silk suits that have straight, cardigan jackets. Anybody can wear this type. They look particularly well with a blouse that has a jabot or a frill down the middle. This cardigan type suit is shown on the figure at the center. Silk suits that fasten with one button at the waistline are the kind that most nearly approach the tailored suit type. But even these are softened so they don’t really look tailored. The suit at the left is of this variety and is softened by the two wide revers that hang in folds. We’ve had this one sketched in a small polka dot print. But it would be just as fashionable in plain colored silk. Blouse Collar Outside When you wear collarless silk suits with very narrow flat collars, you can make all sorts of effects by putting the collar or frill of your blouse outside the jacket. Or wear the blouse collar inside for part of the day and outside for the rest of it, if you feel the need of change. The new medium brimmed straw hats look fine with these silk suits. Try a sailor with them. If it’s becoming, it’s one of the best types you can wear. (Copyright. 1931. by Amos Parrish)

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PROBE PARTY OF 3 YEARS AGO IN DUAL KILLING Hint Young Attorney Had Feared Use of Picture Taken With Girl. By United Press LOS ANGELES, May 25.—Stories of a gay party which it was said David H. Clark attended three years ago when he was a deputy district attorney crept today into the Craw-ford-Spencer double slaying which has threatened among other things to "blow the lid off racketerriag.” Police said that Clark, now accused of murdering Charles Crawford, powerful politician and Herbert Spencer, Magazine editor, then was prosecuting Albert Marco, vice controller, on charges of assault to commit murder. Clark, it was said, attended the party between two trials of Marco. It was said that during the party he was supposed to have been photographed with a girl. Officers believed that such photographs never were taken, but that their supposed existence may have been used by foes of Clark during the recent primaries when he won the right to contest for a municipal judgeship in the June 2 elections. Feared Effect of Picture Clark prosecuted both of Marco’s trials. The first resulted in a hung jury. At the second, Marco was sent to San Quentin for fourteen years. Officials believed Clark may have had reason to believe that the photograph, and some documents had reached Crawford. He may also have feared, it was said, that the evidence against him might find its way from Crawford to Spencer, who would publish the material in the Critic of Critics, political magazine of which he was associate editor. Politicians said Clark had the support of a political faction headed by Guy McAfee, politician and gambler, and that Crawford, at outs with McAfee, desired to ruin Clark’s chances for election. Clark Remains Silent Meanwhile, Clark is silent regarding the shooting. "I will talk at the proper time,” he said. “Right now I am happy because my wife Nancy believes in me. She is a brick. It must be hard on her to come to the jail to see me.’ ’ Clark said he still desired to be elected judge. Search for June Taylor, attractive young hotel owner and former associate of Marco, was continued. Authorities believed she could furnish information on Clark’s whereabouts* from the afternoon when Crawford and Spencer were shot until the next night when he surrendered.

’BROOKS SANE,’ JURORS TOLD IN ESTATEBATTLE Defense Begins Fight to Retain Riches Under First Will. Actions and conversations of Bartholcmek D. Brooks shorty before his death were related today in probate court by defense witnesses in an attempt to prove he was of sound mind at time he signed hi? last will. Witnesses this morning, n the trial tin which two charity organizations are seeking to recover $200,000 of Mr. Brooks’ estate under terms of another will, signed June 22, 1922, were Dr. Mcses C. Leath, personal physician of Mr. Brooks, and the Rev. Owen A. Knox, former pastor of the Blaine Avenue M. E. church, which Brooks attended. With twenty-three witnesses yet to appear for the defense, it is expected the case will go to the jury the last of the week. Mr. Knox and Dr. Leath, who made 103 professional calls upon Mr. Brooks during the year immediately prior to his death, both testified he was of sound mind a few weeks before he died. Mrs. Leath, wife of the doctor related events on several evening? spent at Mr. Brooks’ home and confirmed her husband’s statement. Mr. Knox told of conversing with Mr. Brooks in May, 1930, relative to leaving property to the church for a parsonage. Two former employes of Mr Brooks, Warren A. Conklin, 1001 South Harding street, and Herbert Johnson, 2212 Morgan street, each of whom received property under the 1930 will, which gave major portion of the estate to Robert Hackney, another employe, testified as to soundness of their employer's mind. Testimony against allegations of the charity organizations that the 1930 will is a fraud was offered by Robert E. Darmby Jr. of the Hollenbeck Press, paper expert. Darnaby said that an examination of the 1920 will convinced him that, because of its ragged edge, it had been cut with scissors, "as the defense already has stated, and not with a straight-edge as attorneys for the charity groups, the Indianapolis Home for Aged Women, and the Indianapolis chapter, American Red Cross, are seeking to prove.
