Aquariums Popular as New Hobby Devotees in City Find Fascination in • Pastime. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Time* Woman • Pf* Hilnr 'T'HE latest parlor pastime is sitting in the dark. Sitting in the dark and watching proudly one's pet fish darting about the aquarium as hooded electric lights shine on them Their tricks are as numerous as any of your pet dogs. While they

haven’t as yet lieen a c corded the accomplishment of recognizing their owner's footsteps, it :s claimed they know the hand that feeds thpm. Whatever their a c complishments be. there's no end to the fascination of watching them. The bridge table stands by” emptily, while the foursome lines up

in front of the aquarium to see the male betta change color as he angers. Mr. and Mrs Hiram J. Raffensperger have one of the most attractive aquariums in the city. Mr. Raffensperger had the tank especially made with a mirror in the back reflecting the plant life and the fish as they swim.

Setting Is Natural The aquarium is thirtv-six inches long, twelve wide and fifteen deep. Bits of coral and a portion of a shark's jaw wpre collected by the family when they were in Bermuda several years ago. Colored shells, they picked up in California. A son William arranged the sand in sloping levels. Three kinds of grass provide a natural habitat for the fish. The male betta is a belligerent fellow. If the female isn't removed from the acquarium as soon as the hatching is complete, he kills her. If another male is placed with him, they fight until one or the other is dead. Color Is Changed The betta is most attractive when he's excited. He changes from silver to blm or green, and takes on a cloudy color as his ire is aroused. Black mollies are velvety black; zebra fish are striped. The angel fish particularly are decorative, with their silvery, fan-like fins, striped with black When Shirley Williams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Williams, went to camp she left her three aquariums with Mrs. Ed Rieman, who raises many varieties of tropical fish commercially. Shirley received her largest aquarium for her birthday, and she has it in her own room, where she can watch her fish closely.

Habits Are Watched The Russell Ryan boys brought their aquarium to Mrs. Rieman to watch over while they are vacationing in the east. Since they received it as a Christmas gift, they’ve fed the fish daily and studied their habits. Letitia Sinclair, a student at Tudor Hall, is another of the young devotees of the new pastime. One of the lower classes at the school sold candy to raise funds to buy an aquarium for its classroom. Mrs William A Atkins of Golden Hill has one of the largest of the hobby-aquariums. Her forty-gallon tank is in Tiffany finish in gold and green, and side lights reflect colorfully through the water. Castle Is Hiding Place Six different mosses grow in the water, and the bloom of an aquarium lily goes to the top of the water while the plant grows underneath. A castle, built of porous stone, is the hiding place for the flsh. Mrs. Atkins frequently goes to New York to buy flsh and her collection includes some rare types. Mrs. Atkins’ greenhouse was built to house her aquarium, in which she experiments in breeding. John T. Jamieson is the only one who has succeded in breeding the scalar® or ango' fish. In nine spawns he was able to save seven fish, a situation which is eaused by the peculiar acid requirements in the water.

A printed ensemble of soft reds and blu;s in a rhythmic floral design makes this dress a particularly lovely midsummer costume. The wide, set-in satin sash, three-quarters jacket and charming hand-made flowers, worn at the point of the V-neckline. are interesting fashion notes. The outfit can be worn on the street, but is especially good for the tea or cocktail hour.

Dear Jane Jordan—l am answering that letter signed "Helpless Wife.” whose husband fell in love with his office girl. I am a young office girl, working for a man old enough to be my father. He always has been so kind to me that I just had to reciprocate. His wife begged me to quit, but I just couldn't leave him, and I told her so in front of him. She is old and unattractive. I at least can make him happy through the day. He needs me. I need the job. I believe every girl appreciates a nice job and tries to hold it. If I can givp him what he lacks at home, and also do my work well, I ask in turn, what are we girls to do? MODERN YOUTH. Answer—l believe that the thing for girls to do Is to concentrate on winning a man who is free and of a compatible age. In no other way can they find a complete solution to the love problem. Your relationship with your employer is a poor sort of substitute of a critical youth

for the lusty love who is not compelled to divide his time between two women. In your present arrangement, about all you have achieved is a father substitute. You are attempting to carry the father-daughter relationship into your adult life, and in so doing, you

simply are evading the necessity of making grownup adjustments. An elderly man usually feels very grateful to the girl who “sacrifices'' her youth to minister to his needs. This puts him in an inferior position and gives the girl the upper hand, which gratifies her need to feel superior. Fear of men. or fear of marriage, has far more influence in causing you to accept this situation than compelling love. When you are a little older, you will leaf-n that it is no advantage to love the people for whom you work. You will avoid voluntarily a condition that makes you feel emotional on your job. In business your entire energy should flow into your task instead of toward your associates in business. Love is for leisure; it has no place in the office. I am not scolding you. I only want you to get anew picture of yourself. Instead of being victorious. you really are defeated. Instead of living a full life, you are content with half a loaf. Even your job dees not stand on its own

merits, but depends on your employer's interest in you. I see m you a timid and discouraged character who does not believe that she deserves anything better. It's high time you looked for anew deal. a a a Dear Jane Jordan I enjoy reading your column, especially your answers to married women who are all hot and bothered about losing their men. I’ve been ' married three years and I've been very happy, but I don’t think a woman should become so attached to a man that she can’t give him up. If death should break up my home. I’d be awfully brokenhearted. but if another woman should eome between us I’d slap my husband on the back and say, ’’good luck.” After being in the show business for eleven years, I know men. They can’t stand the temptations a woman can. I know men who love and respect their wives and wouldn’t exchange them for any woman, but still they will step out. Where you find one that won’t, you find ninety-nine that will. Most women listen to talk and then begin to accuse the husband. Such accusation has caused many men to step out. Am I right or wrong? BROADMINDED Answer—You’re right. Many an unfaithful husband never thought of such a thing until it was suggested by the unreasonable jealousy of his wife. A typical reaction is. “I have the name of being guilt*. I may as well have the fun of it, too.” Your letter shows me that you are a person who laces reality without cringing. Congratulations! a a a Dear Jane Jordan—l hope that your answers help others as much as your answer to my letter helped me. I have read your rppiy over and over, and I am determined to find some interests. I am capable, willing, and helpful to many ivho need me. and that’s something. I have come down off my ashpile. My head is up and I thank you. HELPLESS WIFE. Answer—Good for you! The fact that you refuse the negative pleasures of martyrdom shows that you are a courageous character. You see the disadvantages of your position, but you do not regard yourself as crushed by a malignant fate. It is seldom that I receive a second letter telling me how the advice was received. Thank you for taking the trouble. Miss Barton Hostess Miss Veronica Barton will be hostess for the meeting of the Depression Club at 7 tonight at her home. 2635 North Meridian street.

Model Kitchens Used to Help Housewife Plan and Arrange Her Equipment Vonnegrut Hardware Store Has Displays That Enable Women to Visualize Room; New Gas Range Is Shown. BY HELEN LINDSAY BELIEVING that women can visualize their complete kitchen equipment more effectively if they have the proper background for it in the store, the Vonnegut Hardware store just has completed two model kitchens in which equipment will be shown. The rooms are built with eight different panels of Sani-Rox. a glass tiling manufactured by th* Marietta Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis and sold at Yonn gul s.

The paneling is in plain and variegated colors, and kitchen furniture is equipped wi*h castors, so that it can be moved into the model kitchens, against the desired colored paneling The A B gas range, shown in one of th*' kitchen has several new features, exclusive with this make ot stove. One is a small grill built in the back of the stove, to take the place of the usual flue deflector. The other is a warming compartment, built into the stove like an oven, and equipped with a small gas burner. This compartment is divided into sections, one a pan for storage of hoi bread, the others as racks for keeping of other foods. By using this compartment, it is passible Tor a hostess to serve a dinner of several courses without additional maid service, or to keep a dinner warm if guests are delayed Two other features of the A B gas range will be

received with interest by housewives. One is a dual burnrr. estimated to save two-thirds of the gas consumption. The burners on the stove are so built that when cooking of food has been started, the same burner kev turn* off al! but a small amount of gas In addition to this, the oven of the is equipped with a trnw to catch the overflow from Juicy pies, which ordmnrilv spills over into th# bottom of the oven, and is hard to remove. The overflow tray can be removed easily, and kept clean. aaa a a a Black Base Refrigerator Popular SHOWN, too. in the new kitchen is the Norge refrigerator, said to he the only electric refrigerator which comes with choice of white or black base. The black base has been received with enthusiasm by Indianapolis housewives, since it will not show soil from mops used ou the floor. In the other kitchen, the newest laundry equipment is shown. 71ns includes the Speed Queen washing machine, built with a steel jacket inclosing the porcelain tub. to keep the porcelain from being chipped by accidental bumping into walls and pipes. In addition to this and the Simplex ironer. elothrs hampers, drying racks, and other laundry equipment, an interesting new drying gadget is shown. It is a small rack, intended for the drving of infants’ clothing hosiery, and handkerchiefs. This is made with an electrical heating element, with a wire covering and can be attached to the light socket when in use. Another new electrical feature shown at Vonnegut’s is the Major Electrical water heater. This is a small metal device, which slips on to the water faucet, and is plugged into the light socket, when turned on the heater produces instantaneous hot water. * “ fl a a a Cooking School at Sears Store ■p'ACH day this week Sears. Roebuck A: Cos. will conduct a rooking M-j school in which the technique of the pressure cooker is demonstrated.
