Verse Choir Movement Starts Here Mass Poetry Speaking: Is Pushed as Training for Children. BY BEATRICE BIRfi AN Times Woman • Pare Editor TNDIANAPOLIS Is well on the wav ■*- to pioneering anew movement. Miss Faye Henley is ready to give the impetus. The idea of verse speaking choirs began in England and Scotland, but as yet has made little headway in the United States. Miss Henley wants to start the

new method of speech cultivation and poetry appreciation in Indianapolis, which would be one of the few cities in the country to encourage it. The whole Idea appeals to the fundamental instinct of rhythm. The choirs are conducted similar to any singing chorus, voices aie grouped according to their ranges

and are assigned to expression of the poem s mood in accordance to their quality. While Miss Henlev studied in England at the University of Oxford. she observed a verse speaking rhoir festival at Blenheim palace of the Duke of Marlborough. She saw children giving a swinging lilt to old ballads. She sensed their understanding of the meaning, their feeling of the song and dance of the words. Confers on Extension Miss Henley, formerly of the Butler university college of education has been conferring with Dean William L. Richardson, who expresses a possibility of an extension course being conducted by the university. Miss Henley anticipates instructing kindergarten teachers in the new method, so that children may escape the sing-song chanting common to the early experience of most of us. “Poetry so seldom is read well. Poor presentation of beauty of words and rhythm, together with pedantic analysis of a poem has made it a thing of boredom to mast children. ’’ explained Miss Henley. “Poetry speaking is an effort to use their sense of rhythm to help gam a variety and flexibility of speech and tone, and to have a delight in words and their meaning" Emphasised for Children In Germany. England and Scotland adult choruses express their appreciation of the beauty of poetry. Various festivals are held, and the verse speaking choirs enjoy the popularity of singing choruses. It qnly is in England and Scotland that the idea is emphasized in children's training.' Indianapolis teachers have had their interest aroused. They've inquired at the library and have read Marjorie Gullan's book on the subject. Miss Gullan. head of the Polytechnic School of Speech Training, has developed the study in England and Scotland. Miss Henley is fit to pioneer this new movement. She has organized experimental schools at San IMego, Cal.. Baston. Cleveland and Orchard school of Indianapolis. She is a member of the Speech Fellowship of England, and has wTitten several source books for teachers. When the verse speaking movement grows, she plans to write a source book recommending kinds of poems to be used in the choirs.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Boys and girls are invited to bring all (heir" problems to .lane Jordan. Even if your troubles seem trivial, don’t be afraid io write. Dear Jane Jordan—l am 24. For the last three years I have filled a position that requires appearance and personality, enough, I think, to prove me above par in both. When I w’as 21 I left home and the luxury of tw’o cars in order to avoid my family's determination to make a baby of me. I am proud of the fact that lam standing on my own feet and getting some place. I find that my decision to give up the cars deprives me of feminine companionship, I have no trouble meeting and interesting girls, but I inevitably am fiddling second to some one w’ith a car. Doesn't anything else count? - • Answ’er—From the number of letters that I have received on this subject, I am beginning to think that the automobile is a burning

issue in many love affairs. Once again I quote excerpts from some of my correspondence. u o t Dear Jane Jordan Where can you go unless you have a car? You can't parade around the streets in evening clothes. And, anyway, there isn’t anything more em-

lif

Jane Jordan

barrassing to me than riding a street car with a fellow. The fellows always are kicking about girls who won't neck. Well, it's a cinch you can't neck in a street car. If parents are as hard boiled as mine are, you can't neck in your parlor, either. I like to go places and you can't go ■without a struggle buggy of some description, if it's only a ten-dollar Ford. MODERN EIGHTEEN. Answer—So the struggle buggy has taken the place of the parlor! When youth has no place to make love blit the street, I begin to understand the importance of a car. This girl's story reminds me of The young people living in New York boarding houses who have to go to the Pennsylvania station to kiss each other. Porters have seen the same couple kiss each other good-by as many as a dozen times in one evening at intervals of ten minutes! an it Dear Jane Jordan—Three years ago I came here from Chicago without a car and. of course, not many friends. I got a car and I had it only three days until I had enough girls, in fact, too many. Every year I would trade my car in on anew one. but this year I had to sell it. Now I'm sitting around home with very few dates. If you have a nice car you can get a girl. I took a bet with a f*w couples and we picked up girls at random on the street. I truthfully can say I was never turned down. If that isn't proof I give up! In your column I read where some of the girls say you don’t need a car. I would sure like to see them. They either are country yaps or the kind whose moth-

ers tell them not to get in a car with a fellow’. U. C. I. NO. Answer —It looks as if the girls had got the fellows accustomed to the car requirement! When we find one who doesn't demand one. then the boys have no respect for her! She is a country yap, or a goody-goody! Apparently, the more a girl demands, the more she is admired ! n tt n Dear Jane Jordan —Os course a car is nice to have, because you can go more places in less time, but at the same time I do not think a fellow’ should be branded as no go-getter just because he doesn't have one. I have known fellow’s who had cars who didn't have a dime to their names. Cars are expensive, and if a fellow’ really can't afford one I think he is w’ise in living on his income. If a boy is interesting and entertaining. that means more to me than a car. Here is a little poem: “Any girl ran br gav in a classy coupe. In a taxi they can all be jolly; But the girl worth while is the firl who can smile When you're taking; her home on the trolley.” JUST A MERE GIRE. Answer —Are there any boys with cars who still have trouble getting a date? Let’s hear their side of the story! Here are some other opinions: "My suggestion to boys is that they look around for a girl who does not give a thought as to whether they have a car or not, but who feel that they have something valuable in a friend who can resist the temptation to follow’ the rest of the sheep!” GIRL 21. “I have no car. no job and very little money. Neither am I handsome. Yet I have three or four dates a week with attractive girls at an average cost of about 30 cents a date. After all, women long for companionship just as much as men do, and my lady friends seem to think my companionship is preferable to none at all.” HAL. “To nice girls an auto is not essential, nor half as important to romance as a young man who respects them and does not expect indiscriminate petting. B. G. “It is more fun to take long ! walks in the evening than it is to i ride in an automobile. You are I not only getting good exercise, but ' saving money which you other--1 wise would spend on gasoline.” CHALLENGER. “Somehow, I never have been able to get romantic with a date on a street car. How can a girl feel 'that w’ay’ about a boy friend on a street ear when she is surrounded with people, bright lights and uninspiring advertisements concerning B. O. and halitosis?” MISS I. B. DURN. “In my way of thinking, a girl who keeps company merely for the sake of an automobile is not worth the price of the gas to drive her home.” W ,E. WORTH.

Last of Famous Rectors to Prepare Dinner for 100 at A. and P. Fair Carnival Recipes Creating’ Sensation 40 T ears Ago to Be Used in Chicago Event for Notables of Nation. BY HELEN LINDSAY ONE hundred late visitors at the Century of Progress exposition will be given a special treat tonight at the A. and P. Carnival. George Rector, last of the famous Rectors, and host at the A and P. carnival, will rebuild for tonight a scene of the days when “dining at Rectors" was an event. Only one hundred persons have been invited to be guests. Among them are such prominent people as Mr. and Mrs. A. Watson Armour, Clarence Darrow, General and Mrs. Charles Gates Dawes, Mr, and Mrs. Rufus Dawes, Senator and Mrs. James Hamil-

ton Lewis, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, Mr. and Mrs. Potter Palmer. Charles M. Schwab, George Ade, O. O. Mclntyre. Arthur Brisbane. Burton Holmes, Joseph Schenck. Winfield Sheehan and Carrie Jacobs Bond. The courses will begin with a fresh shrimp cocktail, ala Rector, with green and ripe olives as hors d'oeuvres, followed by Rector's famous onion soup an gratin. Just forty years ago. during the world's fair of 1893, Rector’s brought the first barrel of live lobsters into the west, and created a sensation among connoisseurs of fine foods. The lobster became the greatest specialty of Rector's both at Chicago and in New York. Commemorating this event, the lobster has been chpsen as the central figure in the dinner tonight. The recipe for its preparation, in Lobster ala Newburg, is taken from George Rector's newest book. It calls for one pound of lobster meat, two or three tablespoons of cooking sherry, two tablespoons of butter,

salt, cayenne pepper, one cup of cream, and the yokes of two eggs. St ft tt Lobster Recipe Ingredients Given RECTOR advises picking over the lobster meat to remove the bits of . shell. Then melt the butter, and cook the lobster meat in it for several minutes, not allowing it to browm. Season with salt, a few grains of pepper, and the cooking sherry, which has been salted. After cooking for a minute, add the cream. When the cream comes to a boil, add the yokes of the eggs, slightly beaten. Stir the egg yokes gently into the lobster meat, to thicken the sauce and add flavor. Do not allow this to boil after the e?g yolks have been added. It is to be served with triangle's of hot. crisp toast. The lobster will be served with a panache of vegetables, In w’hich string beans, lima beans and peas will be included. Chiffonade salad, of mixed salad greens, with French dressing, will he served. To the dressing. Rector will add a few drops of onion juice, hardcooked egg, minced beets, and minced parsley. The final course will be bisquit tortoni with petit fours, followed by case noir. u a tt Ayres’ Shop Is Re-Decorated. BELIEVING that atmosphere has much to do with the selection of clothing, the L. S. Ayres store has redecorated the collegienne shop and the sports shop, with realistic murals which are enlarged photographs. Using the new/ methed, of “stepping up” kodak pictures in large, life size reproductions, the collegienne shop has been decorated with murals of local young people in college life scenes. On one wall, a characteristic football crowd is seen. At one side of it is an active yell leader; at the other a proud drum major, in full band regalia. Facing this picture, from the other end of the shop, is an intimate college dinner scene. In the sport shop, clothing adaptable to all of the best known sports is seen, in enlarged photographs. Shopping, marketing, and motoring scenes have been used to show the adaptability of the current sports w j ear to every day life.
