‘BACK PORCH DINING’ COOL IN SUMMER

Tiny Stoop Saves Trips to Country BY JULIA BLANSHARD NEA Service Writer NEW YORK. July 24.—A1 fresco dining has a romantic glamor about it impossible to capture in the most sumptuous meal served inside. To become known as an expert in outdoor hospitality is to be the most popular summer hostess in town, and to have your friends clamoring for an invitation to dine. It is not necessary to have a country’ estate, a corps of servants, a mint of money to give your guests | the treat of eating in the open air. Frances Adams, a New York designer, has proved that miracles can be done with a six-by-seven and a half-foot city back porch, about SSO j cash and plenty of artistic ingenuity in color schemes and menus. From Stoop to Porch Last year Miss Adams had a dinky little three-foot stoop at j the .back door of her apartment, which is the first floor of a lovely old brick house. From this stoop , steps ran down to the yard, which is a small bit of green grass I flanked by hedge, elephant ears and flower beds. With $lO worth of lumber and one day s work of a carpenter, the stoop grew to be a little back porch, surrounded by a railing, i Miss Adams painted it all a real outdoor green, laid green and gray checked linoleum on the ; floor, all bound with metal for | neatness sake, and placed window boxes flanked with lattice work along the wall connecting w’ith the next yard so that morning glories would eventually trail up and lend color to the scene and privacy to the porch. Chooses Gay Colors Next, she bought a green topped garden table, with a big striped parasol stuck down through the center of it, since tall buildings with many windows surround her place. For this table she had a larger top made in two half circles which fasten together around the umbrella handle. Two or three can eat out on the porch on the little table. Six can enjoy their evening meal in comfort on the big top. For seating, she repainted an inexpensive green bench and made a gay removable cover of one yard of quilted American print, in bright red, yellow and green, bound w’ith green, with ends of green tape left for tying on to the bench. Also she painted two kegs for extra seats and two iron garden chairs. One of the nicest touches is the addition of a camp lantern, bought in the camping department cf a store, which can be lighted after dark and swings from one spoke of the parasol. Uses Peasant Ware On her table she uses only i bright peasant ware, with covers | or doilies in Russian or Spanish i patterns, gay pottery plates and I cups and colorful Spanish glass- ' ware. Os especial interest are - the j “olla” or Spanish water jug with its J double spout and unglazed surface that, through evaporation, keeps ! cold water cold, and her covered | dishes. The latter include a delectable 1 green Spanish glass beverage pitch- ; er w’ihch is a corked bottle, covered j sugar bowls, cream pitchers and one J squat, brow’n Spanish earthenware j casserole not unlike a Boston bean ! pot. Simplicity Secret of Cooking Out of this Spanish baking pot ■ come the more palatable concoc- i tions: Spinach cooked just the j right number of minutes, topped with boiled filet of sole and the whole covered with Florentine sauce; chicken en casserole, with fresh peas, carrots, tiny onions; genuine old-fashioned lamb stew, with everything seasoned to the queen’s taste. For this pot can go into the oven, or on top of the stove, and, therefore, can take food to the table and keep it in piping-hot condition. Perhaps the secret of this hostess’ success is the perfect simplicity of her enjoyable meals: one substantial hot dish, usually different enough to be absolutely exciting; an ice cold salad, such as alligator pear salad, cucumbers, tomatoes and romaine; and some nice home-made pie or cake, or fresh berries, melon or fruit, and coffee. FLOUNCES, RUFFLES NEW PARIS STYLES Bit United Presx PARIS, July 24.—A sw’ing toward Second Empire was in evidence as winter dressmaking showings began with a display by the house of Yteb Thursday. Other famous houses start displays early in August. More American buyers were in evidence than last year. There were fewer Germans because of difficulty in arranging for payments. Professional purchasers forecast buying would be brisker this year. Style indications showed continued trend toward the note of femininity, with skirts down to shoetops, a variety of dainty flounces and ruffles, and perhaps even" a much-modified form of the bustle. The popular Empress Eugenie hat, small but neat, was considered a stabl" factor around which many dress plans might be built. Gleaners to Meet Gleaners’ class of Capitol Avenue Methodist church will meet this afternoon at the home of Mrs. J. W. Nunamaker, 4134 Rook wood avenue. Mrs. Nellie Rahe, Salem, Ore., will be an honor guest.

‘Ranching It’ Clothes Directed By AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK. July 24.—Where you “ranch it” doesn't make much difference. It may be in one of those swank “dude” ranches with all the service of a first-class hotel or in just your own self-service shack six mUes from the nearest neighbor. Both kinds of ranching-it are I fashionable. And the fashio: Me clothes for both are much the same. That goed old word “duds” ex- | presses it. Comfortable, convenient, 1 sensible, ready - for - hard - usage I clothes. Clothes that look easy and a bit careless-like. Cowboy Costumes The young person who’s ranching it this summer is making herself look as much like the cowboy as she can. (Maybe her idea of him i% colored by the fiction stories of the great west, but the costume looks mighty attractive on her, we think.) First she picks out a pair of trousers—or should they be called pants on a ranch? Because there’s riding to be done and hiking. Some mountain climbing, too, perhaps. Riding Breeches A good sturdy pair of riding i breeches is the best kind —something | that a cactus or brambles won’t ; tear. But a pair of blue denim workman’s pants ... or khaki | ones ... is fine, too, for just sitting around. These trousers or riding breeches are worn with the legs tucked inside of high-laced hunting boots, or regular riding boots. (Better have I both, as riding boots aren’t so comfortable to walk in.) And shoes cut to look like Indian moccasins—of soft, pliable waterproof leather—- | are great, too, if you don’t feel the ' need of higher heels. Wearing the trousers or breeches | inside the boots this way protects | the shins from scratches or from chafing on galloping horsehide. Mannish Shirts The shirts the young rancher wears are of neat, mannish cut, of bright colored 'broadcloth or polo mesh or a dust-hiding one of khaki. One new and gay favorite is a big plaid like a lumberman’s shirt in wool or cotton. A bright colored velveteen is another idea that’s different. Or she can W’ear in place of a shirt, a light wool sweater or a still lighter lisle one, striped like the Mediterranean fishermen’s shirts. “10-Gallon” Hat Os course a real “10-gallon” hat is the swankiest one to wear with such a ranching costume. But if they aren’t becoming, any mannishly cut felt or even the simple flannel beret goes well with the outfit. Trousers of some ..variety are the logical start of such a costume . . . and riding breeches the usual choice and always the choice of the not-so-young rancher. Culotte Skirt But if* you’d rather not wear trousers, then the culotte skirt is the best idea. It looks like a regular skirt, but actually is divided so you can ride or stride with comfort.

For Active Ranchers With it goes a tailored shirtwaist blouse and a stitched linen hat. Accessories? Just a scarf or two—bright with jolka dots —or bandannas to tie around your neck ... a pair cf driving gloves.. . . and a gay belt or two. Then you’re ready to be active smartly. And on those occasions when you may want to dress up, you do so—in nothing more formal, though, than a well-cut corduroy suit with bright blouse. That’s your evening

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE fact that 114 divorces in one day at Reno has set a new record is no particular discredit to Nevada. It is, however, an indictment of American intelligence. The important point to consider is that there are so many dissatisfied wives. For it is significant that the majority of divorces are sought by women. Men, it seems, are better able to adjust themselves to difficulties, or possess a stolid patience that enables them to endure more. Why is this? Largely, I believe, because they have been taught a few actual truths about human nature. They have been trained for business and learn to expect disillusion. Whereas, we still feed our girls upon sentimentalities. In spite of the fact that multitudes of mothers have lived miserably with their husbands and missed all the joys which they had anticipated in life, they let their daughters grow up in a fond belief that marriage is a panacea for all ills and that Prince Charmings are invariably tabby cats. tt a tt THE girls of this generation are still suffering from too much impossible twaddle about romance. If you keep up with current popular fiction and the movies, you know what false ideas we are giving to them. Our failure to educate our children for living is the one outstanding flop of this century. At home and at school we teach them everything else but the understanding of mortals and the good =euse to live with one another like reasonable beings. What’s worse, we lie glibly to evade the truth about the most important of all issues—that of sex adjustments. The working girl is fed on these exaggerated shows that flicker across the silver screen. The richer one is sent to one of our large women’s colleges, where she is cut off from every-day contact with men and therefore accumulates a perverted idea of their excellence. Reno at least shows us what we are. And the reflection of ourselves in that dear western mirror is not a pretty thing to see.

Old Gavel Is Gift to Girl Scouts An antique wood gavel was presented to Girl Scouts at Camp Dellwood by E. S. Wamsley, 83, pioneer of Indiana and long resident of Indianapolis, at the last general camp fire at the camp. The gavel’s head is of oak, taken from the eighty-flve-year-old home of Joe Ybung, Nauvoo, 111., brother of Brigham Young, teacher of the Mormons. Walnut, which forms the handle, was obtained from the battlefield at Gettisburg. At each end of the handle is an ornament of polished bone. The light peg on the left side of the handle is made from an ox yoke that made the journey from Nauvoo, 111., to Utah in the winter of 184647. The dark peg at the right side is made of gumwood, in use for more more than 100 years as a bedstead. On the reverse side, the two pegs are of teakwood and rosewood taken from a convent in the Phillipine Island, said to have been erected more than 300 years ago. Miss Jean Adamson, local director of Gill Scouts, received the gavel on behalf of Mrs. Charles E. j Ccle, commissioner of Girl Scouts, • and the Girl Scout organization. The gavel will be placed in the ! 110-year-old cabin located near the entrance to the camp. Here valuable antiques given the organization are displayed. CITY PAIR ATTENDS MUSICIANS’ COLONY Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Friermood, 38 East Sixteenth street, are among the group of singers spending the summer at the Oscar Seagle Music Colony in the Adircndacks.

The colony is built at Olowan, which means “The Hill of Song.” Ocie Higgins, formerly cf Indianapolis, and now soprano of the New York Operia Ccmique, and Tom Brcadsireet, Indiananolis, baritone, members of the colony, will sing this month at a benefit concert in Glens Falls, New York.

One of the loveliest old bedrooms in Indianapolis is in the home of Mrs. Nellie Scott and her nephew, Adam Scott Griffin, 2014 North Pennsylvania street. According to Mrs. Scott, “the only thing in the room less than .50 years old is the telephone.” The memmoth four-poster bed, covered with a canopy, reaches to the ceiling. It would have to be in an old-fashioned house where space would allow it to remain complete. And on it is an old coverlet with a deep valance of lace, made by Mrs. Scott herself. The bed, originally belonging to a sister, Mrs. Willianv* Griffin, came

Matching it, although in the family for many years, is a cunning round colonial dressing table, suggesting a Duncan Phyfe drum-top type, and an old-fashioned chest of drawers. Small late Georgian chairs and a desk of the same period, complete the furnishings. The familiar Seth Thomas clock still is ticking away the hours. Much of the furniture in the house is from the old Cravens home in Madison.
