Bryn Mawr Club Hears Mrs. Barnes Margaret Ayer Burns, who "lived a normal life for forty years and then catapulted from the roads of France into a perfect orgy of composition," spoke Wednesday night at Caleb Mills hall under auspices of the Indiana Bryn Mawr Club. Her subject was "Behind the Typewriter.” Mrs. Barnes, who terms herself a "timid experimenter in the art of letters,” told how she "became a writer," following a motor accident In France, during a long period of convalescnce. Writing purely for sedentary amusement, no one was more amazed than she, or, she added, her family, when her first casually submitted short story was accepted by a publisher. The photograph of her first check hangs over her typewriter today and is referred to by her intimates as “Rockefeller’s first , dime.” She Stays Domestic "The world looks askance at the ‘middle-aged mother of three adolescent children," as one reporter called me, enternig the professional writing field,” she said, “but few women in the public eye neglect their primary domestic duties and even fewer deny that they are primary. “Os all professions, writing is most easily adapted for family life,” she continued. "One needs no more complicated instrument than a portable typewriter and no more space than a corner of the living room.” Mrs. Barnes spoke of the woman's point of view as compared with the man’s and the inauguration of woman’s intellectual independence. "Formerly woman's contribution to letters has been from the man’s viewpoint,” she said, and mentioned Dorothy Parker as an example of the new "feminist." Truth Aim of All "Truth is the purpose and the aim of all,” she declared. "All writing that is sincere is interesting as an individual's reaction to an experience, but,” she added, “while sincerity is within reach of us all, it is not enough to sustain the beginner, ■who must tackle problems of construction." Mrs. Barnes spoke of her two novels, "Years of Grace,” which was awarded the Pulitzer prize in 1930, and her more recent "Westward ..Passage,” and explained her characterizations. Books should show judgment between the lines, according to Mrs. Barnes, and throw a clarifying light on moral experiences. Camp to Install Joint installation of officers will be held by Camp 3, Patriotic Order of America, with other camps of the order Friday night at Druids hall, 29 South Delaware street. Mrs. Bessie Russell, Indianapolis, national president, will be in charge, assisted by Mrs. Hazel Flider, district president. Degrees will be conferred upon a class of candidates. Yahoo Club in Dance Members of the Yahoo Club will entertain with the first dance of the season at 8 Saturday night at the home of James Willington, 2240 Ashland avenue.
