Old Operettas Revived in City as Contribution to New Sense of Living Pauline Schellschmidt Will Present ‘Volks Oper’ at Dinner Musicale in All Souls Church. BY BEATRICE BCR GAN Time* Woman's Pace Editor AMERICA is in the mood to be gay. It's no longer smart to talk of depressions; it’s time to look up. New York society is expanding with anew sense of living. Women are dressing brilliantly. Billboards nre promising musical extravaganzas, the Russian ballet and light musical operettas. New York is waiting to "come out in the open” with “claretv armed suppers and "wine-brightened'' conversation. The spirit is infectious. It is reflected in the social activities of IncUanapoli: One of the first to provide an outlet for the eagerness to
be gay is Miss Pauline Schellschmidt, who is reviving the fanciful operettas of the nineties in her musicales; the kind of operettas she says that send you home with your heart and lips singing their lilting waltzes. For organizations of All Souls Unitarian church, she will revive the Viennese "Volks Oper” at a dinner musicale on Dec. 13. Acting as commentator for her ensemble, she will inject into her remarks the fanciful and merry spirit of the operettas. The program will follow the dinner, according to the old Viennese custom. In Vienna, people go to the opera leisurely without the bustle of appearing in "grand style." That custom expresses Miss Schellschmidt's idea for the program l!he has arranged for the dinner musicale. Business men, who love operetta music for its frivolity and merriment, may go without dressing in formal style. They may relax and revive their spirits with the gay music.
Miss Burgan
Miss Schellschmidt will inject the humor of dialogue into her comments on selections from Boccaccio, "Fra Diavolo,” “Ermine,” ' The Fortune Teller” and Straus’ "Die Fledermaus.” Miss Bchellschmidt hcs heard versions of thvse operettas in European capitals •where she has visited with famous musicians. She has heard them in lier ow n home, made a musical center by her father, Adolph Schellschmidt Sr., well known here for years as a music teacher.
Famous musicians visited the family home when they stopped in Indianapolis on their tours. They called for tea and afterwards grouped around the piano and sang tuneful songs of the operas in which they were playing. Educated in Furope Mr. Schellschmidt sent all of his six children to foreign conservatories to study. Miss Schellschmidt enrolled at Leipzig in Germany; two studied at Cologne and three at Brussels. Mr. Schellschmidt himself had his musical training at Aix la Chapel!* Miss Schellschmidt and her sister, Mrs. Louise Schellschmidt Koehne. harpist in the ensemble, have “lived" the music which promises to fit in with the modern mood of gayety. "There is nothing like a tinging says Miss Schellschmidt The tunes of these operettas with the pungent wit of their! dialogue will stimulate laughter and ! song.” Uses Old Scores Mi; s Schellschmidt is directing the singers, Mrs. Ruth Devin. Mrs. Lissa Cox and Mrs. Robert Blake; Mrs. Koehne. harpist: Miss Louise Danner, violinist; Miss Marcena Campbell, cellist, and Mrs. Frank Ericnharter, pianist. When Miss Schellschmidt presented a similar program last spring at the Propyiaeum club, it revived memories for Mrs. Frederick Loomis. She played one of the leading roles in “Ermuiie.'.' presented by the Lyra society in the eighties under the direction of Alexander Ernes-1 tinolT. Miss Schellschmidt is using Mrs. Loomis’ scores in her preparation for the All Souls' musicale.

Worth Places Heavy Stress on Simplicity By United Prt ss PARIS, Nov. 28.—Worth’s midseason collection sailed pretty gloriously through the barbed wire entanglements of hardtime conversation and came out victoriously with a cock little feather in its hat! Most of the items in this inbetween collection aim at utter simplicity, although they do achieve it through a perfection of line and the lucky and luscious choice of materials . The costumes for daytime usually are in wool or satin, without exaggerated tightness, or fullness anywhere, and the favored colors are darker shades.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Manners and Morals
Don’t “yes” Jane Jordan! If you do not agree with the opinions you find published in this column, write a letter which tells why you do not! Dear Jane Jordan Which should a person do, sacrifice his soul for the sake of obeying the laws of organized society and a high social standing, or sacrifice his social standing and obey the laws of God? Answer —Your question is not altogether clear. Most people believe that the laws of organized society were instituted by God, and that to obey the one is to serve the other. You evidently see some discrepancy ' between the two. As your question reads, you be- | iieve that conventional behavior is
j at variance with religious conviction. This does not seem to me to be true. Therefore, I am at a loss to know howto answer you. If you had asked whether or not a person should forsake the social setup in order to pursue some inner value of his own, or I whether he should seek goodness by doing as he is told,
■t \
I should say that depended entirely on what kind of person he is. A simple and naive soul is influenced tremendously by collective behavior. For him it would be a serious mistake to fly in the face of what other people believe. A person witah a more highly developed idea of himself as an entity instead of a member of a group, | refuses to be the puppet of his : times. For him there can be no | real development in mechanical i obedience to group morality. He must determine his conduct on a more fundamental conception of true | morality. | These exiles are well-equipped to | take care of themselves. For them departure from external authority does not mean freedom from inter- | nal restraint. However, the average person is not equipped to steer his | bark in troubled waters alone. He needs the support of his group, and failure to receive it spells complete personal defeat.

BY JANE JORDAN
Dear Jane Jordan—l am a young man 19. I am going with a girl 16 who is as good a friend a boy could want, besides his mother. We are planning to get i married as soon as we are of age. We are not engaged now, but j have agreed not to go out with others. I feel as though we should j not go steady, as she is so young, J although she has been with many j other fellows and was quite popu- j lar. The question is do you think j we are too young to be going steady or to be engaged? C. L. Answer—l most certainly do think j you are too young to be contemplating such adult problems as betrothal and matrimony. It is a serious mistake to try for a situation to which you have not fully grown up. At your age it is quite normal to j be searching for a girl to whom you j can transfer the emotion that you | have hitherto reserved for your j mother. The first girl whom you j identify with her image is not necessarily the girl with whom you will j want to spend the remainder of your j life. I recommend that you enjoy the young lady’s friendship to the fullest j extent without letting it interfere j with any other attachments you may ! form, or foregoing the pleasure of ; other girl friends yourself. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—l am a young man 21, deeply in love with a girl 23. I have been going with her about five months. She has been going with another fellow for three years. She seems to like me ! well enough, but she won’t quit j the other fellow. He wants her to quit me, but she won't do that either. I love her and do every- ; thing I can for her. I think some- ? times I’ll quit, but I just can’t because I think too much of her. i What would you do, go on being i with her half of the time and let j the other fellow see her the other ; half, or just quit for good? UNDECIDED. Answer—ls I were in your place i I’d enjoy the young woman’s com- j pany half of the time without reference to the other suitor, and look around for another young ! woman to take up the other half of my time. If marriage is your goal, then perhaps my advice is a little j too frivolous to be of any value. In , that case, I'd propose to her and abide by her decision. If it was un- j favorable, I'd take up the search for \ a partner elsewhere. But to demand all of a girl’s time with no serious intent is to be unreasonably possessive. I don’t blame her for refusing to be monopolized by either of you j grabby young gentlemen.

! Families Enjoy Real Thanksgiving Dinner and Avoid All Inconvenience Several City Hotels, Clubs and Restaurants Prepare to Accommodate Groups for Holiday Festivities. BY HELEN LINDSAY. FAMILY life reaches its highest peak on Thanksgiving day. when the festivities of the entire day revolve about the family dinner. Numerous clubs, hotels and tea rooms have made arrangements to serve dinners Thursday, which wifi afford opportunities for family associations, without the inconvenience of having a meal prepared at home. The menu offered members of the Columbia Club is an inviting one. It will be served in the main dining room from noon to 9 at night, with dancing beginning at 6r30. Music will be furnished by the Hollywood Play Girls band, and reservations may be made for any hour. For the family party which desires privacy, private dining rooms
will be provided. Reservations of eight persons or more will have an entire roast turkey served and carved at the table. The menu includes a choice of supreme fruit. Grenadine; blue points on half shell, tomato juice or grape fruit juice; celery hearts, watermelon rings, salted almonds, clear turtle soup, or cream of mushroom soup. For the entree there will be a choice of Ballatine of soles, poached Marguerite; filet mignon of beef tenderlain, Marechale; half of a milk-fed chicken, fried; corn fritters; roast goose, apple compote, or roast turkey with chestnut dressing and cranberry sauce. Vegetables will include a choice of Hubbard squash, green asparagus, cauliflower Hollandaise, or baked Idaho, candied sweet, or mashed potatoes. Loganberry punch will be served. Salads include hearts of lettuce with Thousand Island dressing, or French endive, tomato, with French dressing.
Desserts to be served will be black walnut ice cream, with petit fours; frozen egg nog, with macaroon; Thanksgiving plum pudding with brandy or hard sauce; fresh pumpkin or mince pie, and a choice of cheese. Sweet cider, mixed nuts, raisins, and case noir will complete the j dinner. Similar menus will be served at other Indianapolis clubs. a a a a a a Large Parties Can Be Served THE Seville Tavern will serve a complete turkey dinner, from 11 in the morning to 9 at night. Accommodations for family parties or large dinner parties will be arranged on reservation. Music will be provided throughout the day by Larry Fly’s orchestra. August Souchon, Americanized French chef at the Indianapolis Athletic Club, has suggested a menu for a dinner to be prepared at home, and gives its approximated cost at $3 for six persons. Monsieur Souchon has planned generous portions for this dinner, which he suggests should start with a fruit cocktail. He advises that | canned fruits may be used, as they are less expensive at this season. Radishes and sweet pickles are suggested to follow. For the entree, he would prepare a ten-pound turkey, with savory ‘ dressing, made with sage, and served with cranberry sauce. For vege- | tables, he suggests candied sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, June peas and baked squash. The salad for this dinner should be head lettuce with mayonnaise. For dessert, Monsieur Souchon has suggested pumpkin or mince pie, or an English plum pudding with rum sauce. Monsieur Souchon has found that excellent plum puddings may be bought in cans. Rum flavoring for the sauce may be obtained at various groceries in the city. I With the dessert, Monsieur Souchon suggests that the hostess serve coffee. a a a a a a* Baskets Made of Pumpkins F' OR the home dinner, Mrs. Edward Rieman of the Meridian Flower Shop, has planned table decorations suitable for the season. Pumpkin baskets, made of hollowed-out pumpkin shells, will be prepared at the shop, and filled with yellow and rust colored chrysanthemums, and ! autumn fruits. Grapes, tangerines, bananas and apples will be used to ! produce the correct color scheme for these individual Thanksgiving dinner i table centerpieces. Members of the Sigma Nu Mothers Club will hold a sale at Stand 306 at the City Market tomorrow, where baked foods will be sold for ; the Thanksgiving dinner.
