Contract Bridge Trophy in New Hands at Close of Season of Duplicate Mrs. W. R. Cooper Wins Silver Vase From Mrs. Ittenbach on Accumulative High Score for Year. . BY BEATRICE BURGAN Tim*-* Woman'* rzr. Editor A MODERN version of the laurel wreath went to Mrs. William R. -<l. Cooper Thursday afternoon, when the Woman's Contract Club closed its season at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. She accepted the silver vase, donated by Mrs. William H. Coleman, as a memento of a year of successful duplicate bridge playing. Mrs. Cooper received the prize with apologies, making no claim to

championship qualities. "There still is an element of luck in duplicate playing. Perhaps I just happened to bf' doubled more than any one else,” she modestly suggested. Mrs. Elmer Ittenbach relinquished the vase, after holding it for her high accumulative score last year, when the club pioneered its way into the bridge limelight. The final party Thursday had a gratifying attendance, except for the absence of Mrs. Grace C. Buschmann, acclaimed as the club's "guidiry; light.” Mrs. Buschmann is at the Century of Progress exposition in Chicago, seeing to it that the fair visitors do not neglect their bridge playing. Mrs. Buschmann is president of the club. It was she who called the women together last year in the name of bridge. Mrs. Ittenbach retired from first place last year to third this season, with Mrs. Harlan Hadley accumulat-

ing second high score Mrs. Hadley is an earnest advocate of the duplicate playing every two weeks on Thursday. “It's a sure way of testing your ability and the best way to improve your game,” she believes. "It doesn't take you long to see your mistakes. With your neighbor at the

next table playing the same hand and making a higher score, you'll want to make sure ‘why.’” Mrs. Frederick Van Nuys, wife of the United States senator, was a member of the board and an active player until she went to Washington to assume the role of Indiana's hostess there. Continues Next Session Thp present board will continue its duties next fall, when the season will open for another year. Mrs. O. G. PfafT is vice-president; Mrs. Ralph K. Smith, treasurer; Mrs. Charles Roemler, recording secretary, and Mrs. Nathan P. Graham, corresponding secretary. Besides the officers, board members are Mesdames Hal T. Benham, Lawrence Hess, W. H. Thompson, Mrs. Ittenbach, Mrs. Coleman, and Mrs, Van Nuys. Committee chairmen include Mrs. Hadley, Mrs. PfafT. Mrs. Van Nuys Mrs. Coleman, Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Dudley PfafT agd Miss Mildred Hooker. Club in “Turmoil” The Little Knickerbocker bridge club was in a "turmoil” Thursday. No one lost his dignity over a bridge hand; the club simply was moved in toto to the ancestral Coffin home 971 North Delaware street. Mrs. A. R. Coffin, hostess and treasurer of the club, relegated her personal effects to the second story and is making ready to welcome the club next Wednesday. “I feel like a round of bridge,” decides Mrs. Herbert Pinnell. So she rings the Little Knickerbocker club. Rest assured a threesome will be on hand at her arrival. Activities will be halted until next Wednesday when the duplicate playing contest will be ended with distribution of awards. Mrs. Coleman's cup for slam bidding and Joe Cain's award for the high accumulative score will be presented at the last gathering of the duplicate section. Eighteen-Table Capacity The gala opening w'ill be the following Sunday night when a. buffet supper will provide the proper party effect. Three rooms, with about an eigh-teen-table capacity will be open all during the summer for the bridgeminded. Sunday night suppers will he inviting to those w'ho are on the lookout for diversion and somewhere to eat on the maid's night out. About forty different members have be-'n accumulating silver cocktail gla.sses as the reward for high scores at, the Wednesday night contests. Among the holders of high scores are Mrs. E. A. Routheau, F. R. Buck. Mrs. Frank Abbott, John Bitalc. Walter Pray, Airs. Hadley, Mrs, Pinnell, Mrs. Coffin, Joe Cain and Herbert Payne. Carpenters Hammer Away Mr. Cain is chairman of the board. Mrs. Coffin, treasurer, and Edsoti Wood, secretary. Board members are Mrs. Dudley Pfaff, Mrs. Norman Perry, and Mrs. John Graham. A colorful mien is being taken on in the clubrooms as painters and carpenters daub and hammer away. One room will be done up in orange and black, another in terra cotta and black. Drop in one of these days. You'll probably find Miss Jeannette craft. Mrs. Paul Bigler. Mrs. John Martindale or Mrs. E. M. Martindale making the most of their hands. CARD TOURNAMENT TO OPEX THURSDAY The three-night card tournament, which is sponsored by the June committee of the women's social organization of Our Lady of Lourdes church, will open at 8 Thursday night in the auditorium.

You're as young as you feel—and ! you can't help feeling young if you j wear the new clothes! Despite the prevalence of such old-fashions as cartwheel sleeves, wasp waists and skirts with a tendency to "hobble,” there's a spirit of youth and verve, that makes itself felt in even the most conserva- | tive styles. Take today's very special frock—• buoyantly youthful, and so simple it flatters every age. It owes its chic to the schoolgirl collar, the buttoned closing of the cleverly curved yoke, the short puff sleeves, wide belt and trim little pleated skirt. It's the Ideal spectator sports frock, especially in linen, which is very much in the limelight just now. Colors? If you want to be "high fashion.” choose black, navy or a rich brown with white accents—otherwise a bright blue, coral, or a pastel. Size 16 requires 314 yards 36-inch material, 1 2 yard 36-inch contrasting material for collar, belt and sleeve bands. Width about 1% yards.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Brine your diffieulliM to Jane .lordan, who will throw fresh lieht on your problem and help you to understand vour situation. Letter of comment also are Invited. Dear Jane Jordan—After reading some of the letters of your correspondents, I believe they ought to live in Russia. There they could satisfy their filthy passions without hindrance. All one needs to be decent is a little will power. Why don't you suggest it more often than you do? Your advice disgusts me at times. I. O. D. Answer—Even though T am not in entire agreement with the Russian experiment, I think it is the most interesting thing going on in the world today. It is the only country whose moral code is not based on superstition and taboo. People who have visited Russia tell me that the Russian woman is glorious. She recognizes the importance of making a satisfactory love adjustment, and when it is made she sticks to it. Monogamy is observed when it is delightful, and repudiated only when it becomes a source of misery and discontent. I particularly approve of the Russian idea that passion is not filthy, but natural and legitimate. I do not advise will power very often, because I do not believe that love is subject to the will. Although I do not agree with you, I am glad to have your letter. I would like nothing better than a flood of other letters from readers telling me what they honestly think on this question. Take your pen in hand before you procrastinate! Are you for Jane Jordan or against her? BBS Dear Jane Jordan—l am an old-timer, and may be called an old doty. While plain talk in the press is shocking to some people, especially to women, they are the same ones who brought on unhappiness in their married lives through false modesty. Oh, if I could tell my story! The story of one who is affectionate, a home builder, wiio believed in the sacredness of marriage. One who courted but one girl in his life and married her; one who pleaded for the urges of a healthy body; who admired pretty dainties and bought them for his wife, only to have them refused, because immodest women wore them. How many eyes have longed for the things I could not see at home! Gradually we drifted apart and I became a star boarder in the home, spending restless nights in my own room. In spite of all

this, I remained clean and true, but what a struggle! I feared to look at another woman, for feflr I would reveal my loneliness. Then I became ill, a nervous • wreck. My doctor turned out to be a real pal. 1 told him much of my experience and he called it a wasted life. Youth is about gone and no change has come. My wife is a good housekeeper.

Answer—l’m not sure that I would be as charitable and generous as you are under the same circumstances. I think you probably

Robert Louis Stevenson who called marriage a sort of friendship sane - tioned by the police. In your c—9 it is a sterile friendship and I resent that forbidding phase of our law w'hich binds you to a contract which the other party has failed oo keep. Your restless nights, resulting in illness, well might be construed as mental cruelty and, therefore, as grounds for divorce. I have no patience with the cold woman who spoils her husband’s happiness by her refusal to surrender to instinct. She is a killjoy w-ho ostracizes love as recreation under cover of exercising a special virtue. The battling of the human flesh against its own most urgent desires is one of the strangest spectacles of civilization. Loath to accept our kinship with the animals, we prefer to think of ourselves as gods, immune from the urges of the flesh. In no other way can we account for the multitudinous taboos that have been built up around the normal and natural instinct for reproduction. Men seldom have accepted such taboos as a guide to their own conduct, but they have expected women to observe them. There w r as a time when a man required his wife to be

BY JULIA BLANSHARD NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON. June 2—The world never offered a greater or a harder challenge to graduating classes than this year, in the opinion of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. "Times 'call for anew type of young pioneer,” the First Lady sounded that challenge. “America needs young folks with staunch spirit and high courage that will keep them hopeful in the face of many difficulties. "One big thing is coming out of this depression. We have stopped measuring success by money. AVe are beginning to measure success by the joy we get out of life—out of our work and the association of those about us. "In that sense, today’s graduates have a fine heritage that those w'ho left college a few' years ago missed. They are starting just as we are changing our whole scale of values to sounder, more genuine ones.” B B B MRS. ROOSEVELT realizes that thousands of college men and women face the prospect of no jobs, no pay and without families to support them through the emergency. She has deep sympathy and understanding of their problems. She paused, in a busy day. to sit dow'n in the upstairs lounge

Bridal Dinner Will Be Given Miss Biegler * Air. and Mrs. George Q. Biegler will entertain tonight at their home, 5738 Broadway, w r ith a bridal dinner in honor of their daughter. Miss Kathleen Biegler. The manage of Miss Biegler to James A. Erwin of Mt. Vernon will be solemnized, at 3:30 Saturday at the Advent Episcopal church. Roses will be used in the dining room and covers will be laid for Miss Biegler, Mr. Erw'in, Mrs. William J. Lang of West Lafayette, sister of the bride-elect. Mrs. Lang will be matron of honor at the wedding ceremony Saturday. Other guests w r ill be Edwin Hobson. best man; Frank Edward Abbett and George Q. Biegler Jr., ushers; William J. Lang and son, J. William of West Lafayette. MISS HELEN STARR FETED AT SHOWER Miss Helen Frances Starr entertained at her home, 3442 North Capitol avenue, w'ith a buffet supper for members of Phi Beta, national dramatic and music sorority, Wednesday night. The guests held a surprise shower in honor of their hostess, whose engagement to Gordon Bringle of Kokomo has been announced. Guests included Mesdames Fred Pettijohn, David Morton, Harry Nagel, La Rue Byron, Misses Grace Marie Mullen, Rae Caudell, Bernice Van Sickle, Alberta Speicher and Ruth Elizabeth McFadden. too purse to show exuberance in love. Such eagerness was held to be not quite respectable and to unfit her for the sacredness of motherhood. Your wife is a victim of this mistaken idea, and, viewed in this light, she is to be pitied as one who has sacrificed her birthright to a false ideal. If men no longer are content with stereotyped w'edlock, it is because the new order of women has clamored for its rights. These women have noticed how' often men leave their respectable wives to cavort w'ith the "painted disasters of the street.” They are tired of being worshipped as goddesses, onl yto be deserted as soon as novelty deteriorates into dull routine. They insist upon a more profane conception of married love, in w'hich they are loved as human beings instead of moral paragons. Your wife belongs to the old order of women. There is no place for her in modern life. She is tragic.

of the White House to give a special message to this June's graduates. “I think it is a most discouraging time for young folks finishing college this year,” she told me. ' But if they can just keep their heads above water now, if they can just keep their faith and courage, they never again will find a time that will discourage L hem.” a an THIS is a time above all others to do work you love doing, for its own sake.” she continued. “Compensation must be secondary. As long as you can subsist, you should try to get joy out of your job. "For the girls and boys leaving college this June who have some place to live and can eat, there is no limit to the good they can do by identifying themselves with local social and civic work. "There is something in every community that you can do for the general goed of those about you. It is a real opportunity for young Americans to become identified with their home and towns, to become useful citizens. "Find something to do for your community—even if there is no pay in it. Work hard at it. That is my advice to them.'’ B B B TO the young girl or boy just graduating, who is driven to make a living and bring something home, finishing college will not be a relief, but just a drive that is almost impossible. "These young folks need the help and understanding that older people can give them. ‘‘l am not a college graduate myself. But I know that in my education it was the personalities that I came in contact with that meant most to me. "The men and women w r ho opened new' vistas to me, who taught me to think, who talked things over with me and listened sympathetically. "This year, I think the mature men and women in every community should realize their responsibility to give that kind of help to the young folks starting out.” B B B "T ET them talk over their dis--Lv couragements, their hopes, their failures, their dreams. Give them sympathy and understanding. "Grown-ups in every community can do their bit for this year's graduates by giving them time enough and interest enough to help them get adjusted, to interest them in the community's needs and .life, to broaden their outlook and help them become better citizens. "Material success fortunately does not count now' as it once did. I know many young couples who have very little materially. Yet they manage to live very simply, eliminating all the non-essentials. They are living lives that they like to live. They are finding happiness with practically no money. They are finding joy in their work and in their friends, and that really means success.”

Odor-Proof Cellophane Vegetable Bags Designed for Use in Refrigerator Popular Wrapping: Material Insures Safe Keeping: of Foods and Prevents Spread of Strong: Scents. BY HELEN LINDSAY InoODS which are generous with their odors" have been a problem for housewives for many years. If placed in the refrigerator beside j foods that absorb odors, cabbage, onions, and other strong flavored vegetables will spread their flavor, making the preservation of left-overs practically impossible. Now cellophane, which has run the gauntlet of uses from wrappers j of chewing gum, cigarettes, and many othe;- articles, has been fashioned ! into bags intended for the storing of fresh foods and

left-overs in the refrigerator. Cellophane is moisture- | proof, and odor-proof. Its use as bags for the tor insures full protection to foods. Halves of grapefruit or melon may be put into a | cellophane bags, and will remain juicy and moist. I Crackers and cookies will not get stale and soggy, if kept in this way, and cake and bread retain freshness when placed in cellophane wrapper. Recognized as one of the almost magic developments of the past few years, cellophane advances now I into the realm of the kitchen. B B B Assorted Sizes Are Available THE bags intended for the preservation of foods are gored at the sides, so that they will hold bulky foods, and are made in various sizes. They may be

used several times. Known as “Artiks.” the new bags are distributed through the Crescent Paper Company, to L. S. Ayres, the "m. H. Blgck Compin'-, Charles ; Mayers, and the Columbia Grocery. A two weeks demonstration will be ! held soon at Ayres, in the home furnishing department. “Artiks" have been approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute. They are packed in three different assortments: a dozen assortment, |an extra size pack, and a sandwich pack. When using more than once, the Artiks are aired or wiped out with a damp cloth. B B B B B B Luxury Achieved in ■ Gallery THURSDAY marked the opening of the newly remodeled and redecorated lamp and art galleries of the Wm. H. Block Company. Friezed walls, futuristic screens and deep carpets of ashes of roses and raisin, in an inset border effect, form the setting for the new department. An atmosphere of luxury has been achieved with carved teakwood. Chinese damask, Lenox china, and genuine Cappi de Monti pottery Lamps are displayed in groupings, with occasional furniture of French tradition. Mrs. Edith Morgan, who planned the new department, is in charge. In connection with the gallery a workshop will be maintained where furniture can be refinished, and individual lamp shades designed. B B B B B B Play in g Cards Are Loaned PATRONS of the Sunshine Cleaners are offered a unique sen - ice for card parties. Decks of cards will be furnished for parties, without charge, to be returned to the cleaning establishment after use. The cards bear advertisements of the Sunshine Cleaners. Other decks of linen finished cards are offered at 19 cents a deck for j sale - Th e only advertising they bear is a small one on the face of each j ace in the deck. B B B B B B Complimentary Service Started. TWO complimentary services to friends of the L. A. Ayres stoic are being offered. One. w'hich will be of interest to children up to the j a S e of 12, will be the telling of stories by “The Story Ladv.” known in radio circles, on Saturday, in the Book Shop. Stories will be told at 11 in the morning and at 3 in the afternoon. “The Story Lady’’ previously has talked to children at the public libraries, the Orchid school and at Tudor Hall. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, E. Hall Downes exponent of the Sims one-over-one system of contract bridge, will give j complimentary lectures in the Ayres auditorium, at 2:30. Downes will ! describe the Sims system, not as to supplant the Culbertson method but rather to supplement it. He feels that it is a more humanized [ system, not so mathematical as the other, and says that it has found i great favor among advanced players. With knowledge of the Sims sys- | tern of contract, the player will be enabled to understand the bidding I and Play of devotees of either system, Downes says.
