The meeting, scheduled as “A Garden of Memories,” featured keepsakes brought by the members, and a background of stories about them which picture life of colonial days and Civil war history, and the early days in Indianapolis and other cities. The meeting was held in an appropriate background of keepsakes, antique furniture given the hostess by her grandmother. Prominent among the keepsakes displayed were those brought by Mrs. Alvin Coate, which marked the history of four generations. Mrs. Coate displayed three pewter plates, made in 1746, and owned by a maternal ancestor during the Revolutionary war days, in South Carolina.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

If you’re 100 close to your own problem and need an outside viewpoint, write to Jane Jordan. Her interest in you does not end with the first letter. Write as often as you wish. Dear Jane Jordan—l am just another woman in trouble. lam j married and have been for about sixteen years. My husband and I lived happily until he traveled around and another woman came into our life. She wrote for money, of course. I lived my life for my husband and loved him dearly. My life was all for him. Now I am hurt so badly that I hardly can live. I still love him and hate to give him up. He doesn’t want to give me up. but I certainly am at a standstill. When a woman loves a man, she really loves. Can you assist me? JUST A WIFE. Dear Just A Wife—Believe me, the most sensible thing you can do is to overlook your husband's indiscretion. Os course, he doesn't want to give you up. It's a rare husband who deesn t indulge himself in a little fling after sixteen years with one woman. Nine times out of ten it means nothing, and he gets over the attack as readily as a child recovers from the measles. More often than not, extra-mar-ital affairs would die a natural death if the wife would let them alone. But sne, poor creature, is so crushed by the death of her illusions that she can not refrain from making a scene. The scene puts the man in the wrong, and, to justify himself, he places more significance on his pitiful little stab for excitements than really belongs to it. The wife who has led a happy life with her nusband holds all the winning cards, if only she knew how to play them. For one thing, she has established a set of pleasant habits which ner husband will be loath to break unless she forces him to it by tears and recriminations. Women are too prone to put all their eggs in one basket, as you have done. They have no life except in their love, and when that fails nothing is left. They do not want to live. How foolish! Life is full of other interests and other opportunities for self-expression. The chances are that you may spend many more happy years with your husband if you are wise enough not to let this one inconsequential slip throw you off your balance. a a a Dear Jane Jordan —I have been going with a boy for almost two years. I am much in love with him and I always am thinking of him. I know he loved me, just by his actions. Not long ago we quit going steady, because he

Leonard Fels of Cincinnati, as a token of gratitude for her work as a teacher. Mrs. Avey, whose name was changed to Avery, later was a teacher in Indianapolis at old School 3, which was located on the site of the Federal building. In 1908 Mr. Fels’ oldest grandson married Mrs. Avey's oldest granddaughter. Miss Mary Avery, who at that time was assistant to Miss Rhoda Sclleck. in the art department of the old Shortridge high school. The health of the bridal couple was drunk from the old silver cup. Mrs. Morton also displayed a pair of double knitted blue and red mittens, knitted by her grandmother in 1370. Fashions of seventy-five years ago were recalled when Miss Bessie McClain exhibited her keepsakes, which were a fringed shawl of green and blue changeable taffeta silk, and an Etruscan gold bracelet, decorated with filigree. These belonged to Miss McClain's greataunt. Mrs. Edward L. Pedlow told of the realization of a childhood desire, when she displayed her keepsakes, which were a border of an old shawl, with mitered corners, which she has made into a table runner, and a part of an old coverlet, which seems to have been dyed with copprice. Mrs. Pedlow admired the shawl when she was a little girl, as she watched her grandmother clean her linen closet, and later received it as a gift. Other interesting articles displayed were two beaded bags, bought many years ago in New Orleans by Mrs. O. L. Watkins’ grandmother, and specimens of handmade pottery, belonging to Mrs. Leonidas Smith. Delta Upsilon Auxiliary Will Hold Meeting Mrs. L. E. Strong, 1032 Buckingham drive, will be hostess Saturday night for the dinner-bridge meeting of the Woman's auxiliary to the Indianapolis Delta Upsilon Alumnae Association.

thought we were too young and that both should have other dates. We still get along just fine. A week ago some girl asked him to go to her sorority dance. He went and then had another date with her. He hasn’t called me for almost a week now. We have had things come up like this before, but always have gone back together. I think he is having dates with this girl just for a change and to make me jealous. Should I have other dates and make him think I am having a good time, whether I am or not? Do you think he will get jealous and come bac£ then? LONESOME AND BLUE. Dear Lonesome and Blue—l wouldn't have dates just to spite him. I'd have them for the fun there is in it. He is smarter than you are. He wants to see plenty of other girls, to see if his emotions for you persists when you have plenty of competition. Why don’t you make the same experiment and get some fun out of it? a a a Dear Jane Jordan —When I was 17 (last summer) I met a fellow nearly 21. I was cuh-razy about him. He asked me to marry him, but he wasn’t working. He was to go to his married sister, who lived in another state, to try to get work. One night we went to a dance and it wasn't long until he was feeling tipsy. He wasn't drunk. He knew what he was doing, but he was just mean. He even said he wouldn't take me home, but he did. I said goodby, but he didn't answer and I haven't heard from him since. That was three months ago. He left with his sister, and our crowd gave me his address. Should I write to him? Sometimes, when I think about that night I feel that I never want to see him again. Then again I think of all the good times we had and the little things he said, and I feel like I want to write to him. Please advise me. Do you think this is love, or am I just in love with love? “JACKIE.'’ Dear Jackie—lt may be that you have a mild attack of love. Whatever it is. get over it. If he shared your feeling, he would have written long ago. if you were a little older and wiser, you would mistrust a man who gets mean when he drinks. In vino veritas. Alcohol lowers the centers of inhibition and lets loose tendencies that usually are held in check. If he was capable of meanness, you can depend on it that a few drinks wouldn't make him so. For your own good, you ought to avoid him.

Women Are Quicker on * Mental Job' Men Show Better Grasp of Whole Problem in Test at Indiana U. Py Science Service BLOOMINGTON. Ind., Jan. 18 Women are superior to men in those mental tasks which require attention to details and a quick adaptation to a rapidly changing situation. But men are superior where quick responses are not so important as a grasp of the problem as a whole —where it is necessary to hold the attention for a prolonged period to carry a thing through to its logical conclusion. These sex differences were observed in the psychological laboratories of Indiana university, here, by Dr. Hanna M. Book, who reported her findings in the current issue of the Journal of Social Psychology. In a test such as that of comparing two parallel columns of figures. where each item is finished quickly and one must go on to the next, women were found to excel. Men were better on maze tracing, where the whole pattern must be kept in mind until a solution is found. After a nerve fiber has been excited by any stimulus such as those constantly occurring during mental work, there follows a brief period during which the nerve fiber is inactive and can not respond to further excitement. This refractory or inexcitable or non-irritable period is extremely short, measured in mere thousandths of a second, and is very difficult to determine. So far sex differences, if any, have not been noted. But Dr. Book explains the sex differences in mental activity she has observed as being possibly a result of such sex differences in the refractory period. Women, she said, probably have shorter refractory periods. Therefore, their nerves transmit a greater number of impulses per unit of time, which, being physiologically a more intense stimulus, would account for their ability to respond quickly to more details and to rapid changes in environment. Men have longer refractory periods and therefore fewer impulses per unit of time, which would ■ account for a slow, massive, deliberative sort of thinking in men. “In general, if the task is fractional. that is divided up into parts, the women are better; if, however, the task is continuous, the men are superior,” Dr. Book said.
