Pioneer City Club Center for Culture Literary Order • Soon to Reach Half Century of Existence. BY BEATRICE BI RGAN Time* Woman s Fxgr Editor rwIFTY-SIX years of genial con- * sorting in social, literary and esthetic pursuits, but never an expression of opinion, is a record of the Indianapolis Literary Club, pioneer of its kind in the city. Seventeen young men, beginning the new year of 1877 and their own professional careers, met at John D. Howland's home to devise an outlet for their

literary leanings. As they drew on their pipes, they agreed that diversity of religion, politics and nationality was no bar to membership. • We'il speak our minds on any subject we choose, but as a club we'll never express an opinion,” they vowed. Their intent has been fulfilled after more than a half-

century of activities. Jew sits beside Gentile, a Catholic priest beside a Protestant clergyman. Doctors, lawyers, merchants, chiefs of i industry say what they please, and all remain friends. The seventeen young men elected Mr. Howland president and began meeting every Monday night at the old Plymouth church on the site of the present Federal building. With the building of the new cultural! center, the old Propylaeum club- ! house on North street, its meeting ; place was transferred. Lone Founder Survives Charles Evans, now of Chicago, is the only living founder. When he returns for visits, he contacts; his rld life with Louis Howland, j son of the first president. He finds both the old meeting places have | made room for modern expansion,' and a clubroom in the Caroline! Scott Harrison D. A. R. chapter house. This week at the annual election meeting Christopher Coleman became the fifty-eighth president of the club, with a raster of 150 active members, a long list of nonresident. a few inactive and honorary members, and a long "In Memoriam" tablet. Beveridge a Member On the "In Memoriam’’ list are such statesmen's names as Albert J. Beveridge and Thomas R. Marshall. At these men began their climb to national note, they contributed their share to the programs and their expression of opinion. The state's famous authors, Booth Tarkington and Meredith Nicholson, and its poet, James Whitcomb Riley, set aside their Monday nights for dissertations on sundry subjects. The walls of the clubroom are hung with paintings by artist members, the late Theodore C. Steele, j and William Forsyth, retiring president. Prominent on Poster Mr. Steele's portrait of Riley, paintings of Mr. Howland, the first president, and others of William P. Fishback and the Rev, Myron W. Reed, both past presidents, hang beside etchings, gifts of members. After the hour of discussion, old members group themselves for peaceful recollections. They lean j back in their chairs at meetings. l puff at their cigars and pipes, and j watch the "young bloods” express I their thoughts. Once a month the members’ wives and feminine favorities are j invited to attend the meetings. As j they glance at the roster, their discerning eyes recognize the names of men, who have aided in molding the cultural life of Indianapolis.

If there's anything we American women are vain about it's our figures, and with good reason, too. We’ve been giving capes and puff sleeves a rush for some time now because they emphasize our broad shoulders so divinely. And that’s why it’s safe to predict a brilliant future for the new “tray’’ shoulder line that's broader and flatter than ever. You can see its influence in this heavy sheer crepe with its rippling capelet introduced in a square line at the shoulders. It's a matter of very clever but very simple cut which makes it easy for the home dressmaker to put together.

! ‘Thrilling’ Is Verdict on Feminine Race Day Garb Displayed by Merchants Wide Assortment of ‘Breath-Taking’ Styles Awaits Critical Eye of Women Preparing for Speed Classic. BY HELEN LINDSAY THERE'LL be at least one thing on May 30 as exciting as the Memorial day race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. | That is "race day” raiment, which critical women unanimously have agreed is about the most thrilling thing developed in many a year. Linen suits in dark colors will figure prominently in the "breathtakers” of the day. Browns and blues, shown in the newest mode of

; tailored suits at L. Straus & Company, are set off ! charmingly by tailored Dobbs hats in white and in the darker colors. j Miss Elizabeth Prutzmann. stylist at L. S. Ayres, sug- ' gests piques, and ensembles featuring printed dresses with linen crash coats. Cotton, which of course is the ; most important fabric this year, will be seen in white, i colors, and prints. The shirtwaist dress, which has "barged” to the front this season, undoubtedly will be ! seen in abundance in the Speedway grandstand. Wasson’s has attractive developments of | the new black linen frock. They are smartly tailored sport frocks, the severity of the black relieved often with white pique. Spectator sport white shoes will be worn, if the day jis a bright one. Other sport shoes, as suggested in the , displays at the Marott Shoe Store, are brown and white, as well as black and white combinations.

Cartwheel hats, in stitched designs, with low crowns, will be shown in a charming contrast to light sport clothes, in somber black linen. a a a a a a Ancient ‘Linen Duster' Revived ONE of the most interesting new ideas for the day is the three-quarter length coat, with sleeves wide and full, and broad, square shoulders. The old-fashioned linen duster has ben revived in anew mode in these coats, which are causing excited comment, since they are to be worn over silk sports frocks. Imported corduroy is shown at L. S. Ayres, in coats which have all the interesting swagger lines that women are seeking this season. They are three-quarter length, made with only the sleeves and pockets lined, and have one button at the throat. Schiaparelli epaulets at the shoulders seem to have been added as a careless but smart after-thought. a a a a a a Gauntlet Gloves Outstanding AND like the past-script on a woman's letter, which is likely to contain the most important bit of news, comes the outstanding touch for ! proper garb for the day. No one could doubt the importance of them, in j viewing the new gloves. | There's the “Highlander,” which is a sheer gauntlet affair, made of bright plaid organdy. There are gloves made of print linen, designated ias "crazy linen." The idea with these is to match one of the colors in I the print with plain colored dress or suit. Sheer white gloves have black organdy gauntlet cuffs, like pallet ■skirts, which give them the name of “Pierrette,’' and striped rayon has been used in the ones which are called “Zebra." All are shown at Ayres'.
