Saturday’s Beer Return m/ Will Mark End of Long Drouth for Athenaeum Members of Once Famed Center of City Social and Cultural Life Looking Hopefully for Return of Former Activities. BY BEATRICE MR GAN Time# Woman'# Page Editor Gambrinus, the patron saint of malt and hops, will return to one of his old and favorite haunts Saturday night when the Deutsche Haus will celebrate the "end of twice seven years of drouth.’ Even Joe, the bartender, will be there to preside at the "Kneipe of the Athenaeum where he has served thlrty-elgnt and a half years. Old members of the Athenaeum are looking upon the event hopefully, for to them it may mean the return of former activities, which were

definitely a contribution to the social and cultural life of Indianapolis. Herman Kothe, son of George Kothe, one of the founders, reminisced today of the early dramatic and musical ventures. He recalled the nights of chorus practice, which were followed by informal drinking and genial conversation. "The same spirit of spontaneity and good fellowship has never returned since the hysterical period of the war and the restriction of prohibition,” said Mr. Kothe, who is president of the Musikverein, the musical society. Alexander ErnestinofT was the director of the orchestra. which was prominent in the concerts and operettas at the Haus. The "bier abend,” beer night, Saturday will include dancing, singing, a dinner of famous German dishes and floor entertainment of Bavarian folk dances. The finale will be the Schuhplatter tanz, a

Miss Burgan

virile peasant dance. Approximately 300 members will eat in the "kellersaal,” decorated the same as in its earlier days. Mr and Mrs. Paul Hess, imported managers, are planning treats of “knackwurst,” "brahwurst” ami other German dishes. Joe Seehoefer, the bartender, is such a familiar figure that he is accused of "having the Athenaeum built around him.”

Sat af Long Table Masculine patrons are hoping for the return of the kommers” when men sat at a long table for a general good time of drinking and toasting. Women were excluded from this ceremony, but were permitted to look on surreptitiously. Otto Lieber, son of the Herman Lieber, the first president, now heads the board of the Athenaeum. G. A. Schnull, son of Henry Schnull; Franklin Vonnegut, son of Clemens Vonnegut, and Leo M. Rappaport, son of Phillip Rappaport, are members of the board and sons of founders. Other founders were Albrecht Kipp and William Haueisen. The present building was dedicated Feb. 22, 1894, to sponsor cultural undertakings, physical education and friendly gatherings of families. Beer Garden to Open Men met in the bowling alleys in the Turnverein for many spirited games. With coats off, sleeves rolled and mustaches carefully twirled, they spent many hours of leisure time. The beer garden, which will be opened with the arrival of clement weather. w r as the scene of many convivial- occasions. The concert hall to some still echoes with the famous music, and the ballroom recalls the memorable Washington balls and festive dances. Mr. Lieber entertains a hope, as do other old German families, that the Gambrinus fest will mean the return of a composed and tolerant social attitude, and * the friendly gathering of families for sane and happy entertainment.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Here is your chance lo ask uucstions or to express your pet opinions Write to Jane Jordan and read her reply in a few days. Dear Jane Jordan—l am a lovesick country style boy of 22 years. I live in Broad Ripple and I'm in love with three girls. Pearl, Mary Ann and Pat. These girls are my chief worry, and I do not know which to choose. Pearl, like myself, is a nice, home-loving person, but you know the old saying, “You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl.” Pat is a very attractive girl and has a pleasing personality, but I know she really goes for a boy named Fred. Mary Ann is altogether different. She is wild and woolly and always ready to have a good time, 1 am too slow for her, as I am only a farm boy. The rest of the boys make fun of me because I powder my face and because I always am combing my hair. Sometimes I could jump in the river and end it all. Please tell me what you would do if you had to row by boat. BAFFLED IRVIN H. P. S.—l like to drink and smoke, but it makes me sick. Please advise. Answer: It is nothing new for a polygamous gentlemen to find himself confused in a monogamous society. Your plight reminds me of the remark made by another rural character, “I never sees a pretty girl but what I loves her some.” Many a man has felt like jumping in the river because of one woman. That three presents a problem calling for two extra rivers, I have no doubt. Something tells me you are enjoying your predicament very much, and what man wouldn’t? You’d probably be bored with Pearl, Pat would desert you. and Mary Ann drive you crazy in no time. But there is no hope. You will live. P. S. If it makes you sick to drink and smoke, don’t do it. You have enough troubles. Dear Jane Jordan—To me, the manner in which you speak of women smoking is very disgusting. Your arguments are weak. No, many women who smoke are not painted ladies, but 1 find that girls who smoke usually do more questionable things. One thing always leads to another, and evidently smoking is one of the first steps down the ladder. The majority of girls do not care to smoke in private, but oniy do it to show off. They insist that smoking gives them certain poise. I have plenty of poise and am able to attribute it to something better than smoking. I wish some of the ardent sup-

Daily Recipe PLANKED GROUND BEEF WITH BANANAS / pound icell-g rou n and beef chuck 1 cup cooked breakfast cereal 1 small onion, minced tine 1-2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1-2 cup stock or milk i bananas Mix all the ingredients except the bananas and then mold the mixture into a large, flat cake to fit the center of the plank. Dot with a few small bits of butter and set under the broiler. Cook for about twenty minutes, taking care that the surface doesn't get too brown. When done, arrange broiled bananas around the meat. To prepare the bananas, remove the skins, cut in half crosswise, rub with a bit of lemon juice and butter and place under the flame for 3 or 4 minutes. This recipt is sufficient for four persons. To make a more elaborate’looking dish, baked stuffed tomatoes may be alternated with the bananas. The current low prices of meat bring many of the cuts formerly in the higher range well within even a strictlv limited budget. There is round steak, for instance. And here is a delicious way to serve It for guests or for the family.

Slenderize Your Waist

Lateral leg - raising is j of great help to re- /f f /A dace waist and thighs. If / \\ ( -J' / * S / / _— = ,

This is the ninth of twelve daily articles bv Jac Auer New York body building expert, outlining exercises to improve your looks and health. BY JAC AUER Written for NEA Service DO you crave a pinched-in waistline, or.e of the slender waists that show to advantage in this year’s clothes? Today’s exercise works directly for that. It also does its bit toward further reducing your thighs. It consists of raising both your legs, knees tight together, toes pointing downward, and swinging your legs in as near an arc as you can manage, without letting them touch the floor. Balance yourself on one side, one arm flat on the floor, hand si pporting your head. Place your other hand in front of you on the floor, where it gives you the greatest brace.

porters would please explain what joy. satisfaction, or whatever it is that they really attain from such indulgence. COLLEGE GIRL. Answer—The question you raise as to why people like to smoke is a very interesting one, and I should like to have as many of our readers as possible try to answer it. I do not object to smoking in the least, yet the secret of its charm always has baffled me. Why do we find pleasure in smoking? The young like to smoke because to them it is a mark of maturity. You are quite right that some people, particularly girls, smoke to call attention to themselves, or to show off. as you put it. But that dooes not account for the person who settles down in the peace of the evening, alone with a book and a cigaret, and finds it a consolation. Since no one sees his smoke, he or she hardly can be accused of exhibitionism. Such people feel that smoking alleviates loneliness. What the pacifier is to the baby, the cigaret i3 to the adult. It is something to hold in his hands, to put in his mouth. From it he derives a sort of infantile satisfaction. It is something to do; it breaks the monotony; and the effect is soothing. You state that some girls say it gives them poise to smoke. In a sense, this is true. With a cigaret in your hands, you can be abstracted without seeming rude. It gives you a chance to be aloof when you do not want to become involved. Behind a cigaret, you can retire for the moment from the crowd. Without doubt, w r e’d all be better off without cigarets. They create a nervous habit which it becomes hard to do without. The same thing is true of many other things which you never think to call disgusting. Can’t you choose something uglier to hop on, such as selfishness, greed, or gormandizing? Your statement that smoking is the first downward step on the ladder simply is not true. It’s just one of those things that people state as fact, merely because that is what they wish to believe. Either your experience has been narrow, or your observation is weak.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

I Now lift both legs together, toes pointed, and try to swing them up, around and to the back. The first day you may scarcely be able to get them off the floor without tipping over. Keep at it. This exercise calls for determination. Persevere each day until you actually can manipulate the double leg swing in as high an arc as showm in the picture. After trying the swing twice on your right side, roll over, brace yourself on your left side r.nd swing in reverse direction. This exercise calls into play all the back muscles through your waistline and all your thigh muscles. It gives them a chance to work as they do not usually have the opportunity to work. In so doing, they build coordination and a poise that makes for grace. And at the same time, when you get all your muscles working correctly, fat will just melt away. Next—Hip roll with arm swing.

FAIR STYLE

V. .vivJOwiv. ••• V; x A v.v.......

Architecture has gone into women’s clothes, as evidenced in this charming new print in rich brown and rose tones, designed by Walter Dorwin Teague who was inspired by the exteriors of some of the buildings now being built for the Century of Progress Exposition. This dress is particularly lovely and wearable, being a one-piece model, with flaring three-quar-ters cape sleeves, an old-fashioned yoke and a cute fichu made of brown organdy, that droops over one shoulder and ties in a bow. It is removable for laundering. Mothers To Be Feted Mesdames Jesse Marshall, Albert Schoen, Joseph Taylor, John Ward, Frank Mairchild, E. F.

Slenderizing Styles Are Feature of McCall Paris Fashion Show at Block’s Gowns, Suits, Daytime Frocks, Beach and Sport Costumes Are Modeled; Individuality Stressed. BY HELEN LINDSAY SLENDERIZING styles for larger women were accented Monday and today in the McCall Paris fashion show on the first floor of the William H. Block Company. Mrs. Janet Phillips of New York personally directed women who attended the show in adaptation of the mode to their individuality. , Gowns, suits, daytime frocks, beach and sport costumes were modeled by Misses Aileen and Mary Elizabeth Driscoll. Miss Rosemary Ryan and

Mrs. Edwin O'Neill. Mrs. Phillips described changes possible in the making of these garments through use of McCall patterns, and displayed fabrics suitable for each patterns use. A simple fashion, cut in straight line from shoulder to hem. with flared insets in front and back of the skirt, was recommended especially for the larger woman. The model shown was of Sandoon crepe, with organdy puffs added to the sleeves, and a perky organdy bow at one shoulder. A gingham beach and sport costume was cut to the waist in back, with a square neck, and the shoulder straps buttoned in front to the bodice. This was described as the costume being worn by many women on Florida beaches, ideal for wear directly over the bathing suit. A striking costume of white and red Nobysheer fabric, also designed for slenderizing purposes, featured a straight lined skirt with box pleats in front, and a red jacket of hip length, without sleeves.

Sport costumes were developed in attractive color combinations. \ beige and brown ensemble of Skinner’s Trouble-proof crepe had a guimpe effect of brown, with long sleeves of the beige material, and beige suspenders. A short detachable cape of beige was worn with this. Outstanding in the materials displayed in these frocks were the cotton fabrics. Pique in white and colors was used in a number of the summer sports frocks, while ginghams and zephyrs, muslin, and volie carried out the cotton idea. Both Eleanor Blue and Anna Blue, in "First Lady prints,” gained prominent color mention. The creations of many of the noted fashion designers were expressed in the show. Prominent in the mention of these were Patou, Vionnet, Bruyere, Lucile Paray, and Goupy. a a tt Quiet Note Features Shoes T'HE spring shoe styles, as represented by the Nisley Shoe Store, strike A- a note of quiet, both in color and design. Black, grey. blue, chaff and Indies brown lead in colors, with some of the most attractive models designed in a combination of chaff and brown. Punchwork forms the decoration of most of the walking shoes, with a T-strap of extreme breadth taking an outstanding place. Gypsy tics are popular, coinciding with the vogue for tailored suits. Probably the widest range of shoe clips and bows for years is shown this season. * These are much smaller than in formei years, and the mast desirable ones are made of bone or horn, with metallic trimming. Other clips of grosgrain ribbon, enamel, and leather are of the small pattern also. Rhinestone clips are to be used as usual on shoes for formal wear. These shoes, will be of moire and faille. Many of the white moire evening slippers have silver trimming and silver heels. a a a Refrigerator Glasses Revolve REVOLVING refrigerator sets of glass, as shown at Charles Mayer’s, will simplify the problems of the housewife who has limited refrigerator space. These are made in groups of five quart-size covered glass dishes, on a revolving metal disk, and can be turned in the refrigerator, so that any one of them can be removed without displacing the others.
