National Head of Clubs Will Come to City From Washington Conference Jtfrs. Grace Morrison Poole Recalls With Smile Englishman’s Remark About America’s Organized Women. BY BEATRICE BLR GAN Tim** Woman'* Pare Editor. MRS. GRACE MORRISON POOLE was pleased when an Englishman said the most American thing about America is its woman’s club movement. As president of the Genera 1 Federation of Women’s Clubs, she guides the organized activities of more than two million women, and she likes to hear about their influence. Mrs. Poole will talk to guests of the Women's Department Club tomorrow at a luncheon honoring founders, charter and life members at the Columbia Club.

Mrs Poole smiled to herself when she heard the Englishman's remark, for one of his country’s sons, Charles Dickens unwittingly was responsible for the founding of the Sororcis Club, predecessor of the federation. When Dickens came to America in 1868 he was feted by the literati of Boston. When he went to New York he was honor guest at a banquet given by the Press Ciub With such a favorite being entertained and the club's reputation of entertaining in a grand manner, hundreds clamored for tickets to the affair. Jennie June, a young woman of culture and refinement, and a world traveler, worked on the staff of one of the papers. She was refused admittance to the banquet because no “females” were allowed to attend. Jennie June, who in, private life was Mrs. Croly, was incensed. She called together a group of socially prominent and influential women and urged them to form a club for women only.

Men were amused when the Sororcis Club was founded. They avowed that only a group of disgruntled women would belong and that they would try to interfere in masculine affairs. The club grew and branches were formed in other cities. After twenty-one years of growth, the Sororcis Club planned a birthday party

and invited presidents of the nine-ty-seven clubs formed In various cities in the country. From Indianapolis went Mrs. May Wright Sewail, representing the Indianapolis Woman's Club. She became a member of the committee to plan a permanent organization, along with Mrs. Croly, and Julia Ward Howe of Massachusetts. Since that time sixty-three foreign clubs in twenty-four countries have affiliated with the American federation. Mrs. Poole recently returned from visits to European clubs and plans to tour oriental conutries soon. Mrs. Poole will come to Indianapolis from a council meeting at headquarters in Washington, where presidents and directors from every state conferred with her on future activities of the federation.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Are you faced with a baffling decision? Put your problem before Jane Jordan and read her answer in this column. Readers are urged to exchange experiences. Dear Jane Jordan —When I was 16 I became the mother of an illegitimate child who was legally adopted by some good people. The first year after this happened I went from bad to worse. Then something came over me and I just couldn’t stand a man to come near me. I got a job and caught up on my education by going to night school. I have lived a decent life since I broke away from sin. Nothing could make me be immoral again. Now I am in love with a good man who wants to marry me. I don’t feel like I could confess and yet be accepted by him. I would not want his future jeopardized by marrying a woman with a past, your answer shall be my decision. ELLA. Answer —I see no reason why you should not make an excellent wife for the man who wants to marry you, but you have no choice but to tell him the truth. Although only a few people know your secret, it will be sure to leak out. I do not think it is necessary to tell him

about your silly little fling after the baby was born, but the existence of a child is too big a secret to hide. Honesty may be likened to a doubleedged sword; it may bind you to your lover or separate you from him. There is a chance, of course, that he will leave you when he knows the truth. But since a love

HHHH

Jane Jordan

which does not understand and pardon is not love at all, you wouldn’t be losing any thing really worth having. A marriage which is to represent a close union of two spirits can hot succeed when one of the partners hides an important secret. Even if your husband never discovered the truth, the fear that he might would be with you always to corrode and poison your happiness. Thus do the shadows of the past often cast their dark forms over the happiness of the present. If the man has any judgment at all, he will admire your courage and honor your honesty. These qualities are more valuable in a wife than the strictest adherence to the “purity ideal.” Start your marriage on the foundation of truth and be free from “harassing fears of discovery. And remember that a sharp break, if it comes, is preferable to years of secret torment. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—Why do so many decent women have chasers for husbands, and why do so many chasing women marry decent men? In our neighborhood there is a woman of this kind. Her first man died and now she has another decent man, but she hasn't changed her wavs any. PUZZLED. Answer—This particular type ot mismating is no more frequent than other marital disharmonies. According to one st,udent of the subject, the ominous type of our times is the person who is unable to love with his soul and his body at the same time. Thus it happens that people are divided into soul types and body types. “When the soul man mates with the body woman, or the body man with the soul woman, we have the clearest expression of an unhappy marriage." Each speaks a different love langauge. but they had to love together in marriage to discover that tragic fact. ana Dear Jane Jordan— l am very much in love with a girl who shows absolutely no affection for

tiny peplum, while a swooping pleated flare at the back extends from the waist into a moderate train. tt a tt '*7'ELLOW taffeta forms the dress at the right of the sketch with a wide, flaring collar rippling from a high neckline at the back.

I have known this girl eight months, and if it is because of bashfulness that she acts this way, I thing she should be over it by now—that is, if she really loves me. What should I do? R. L. P. Answer —Perhaps you haven’t wooed the girl properly. Maybe you expect her to take the aggressive in showing affection whereas she believes that it is up to you. It would be a good idea for you to turn romec with a vengeance. Then if she doesn’t respond, you‘d be wise to warm yourself by brighter fires. Nothing is more disheartening than loving a human iceberg. Ask any man who has had the misfortune to marry one! But before you give up, find cut what is wrong with your love-making, if anything. a tt tt Dear Jane Jordan —Last summer I met a fellow I liked. He stood me up and I told him that I’d never give him another date. He promised faithfully he would never do it again, and I believed him. For a long time I was with him almost every date night. About three weeks ago he quit coming over. I met a girl whom he has been with and she said that he is forever talking about me. I just can’t understand why he doesn’t come over any more if he really likes me. Maybe you can help me out. TOOTS. Answer—You may be sure that if his desire to see you was strong enough he would be over with all speed. Boys do not take their love affairs as seriously as girls do. Don’t waste another minute thinking about him. Dear Miss Jordan—We are two fairly attractive girls who have had quite a few dates, but none measure up to our requirements. Here they are. Are you too severe? 1. He must be tall. 2. He must not be more than two or three years older than we are. 3. He must be smarter than we are. 4. He must be lots of fun, and a good mixer. 5. Preferably athletic. 6. He must respect us. 7. He must not be too free with affection or caresses. 8. A car would be nice, but not necessary. 10. He should have patience and understanding. 11. He should be decent. Answer—l will let the boys answer your letter for me. The best answers will be published. Sorority to Entertain Dzan sorority will entertain with a benefit bridge party at 8 Thursday night in the Hoosier Athletic Club. The committee is composed of Misses Lucile Nicholson, Cornelia Cochrane, Dorothy Hassler and Ruby McDaniels.

The dress is fitted to the knees, where another flare assumes a cocky planner by extending to a higher altitude at the back than at the front. The skirt has added fullness from this flare to the floor. Two huge bows of burgundy velvet are placed, one at the waistline and one at the back of the knee.

Knitting Craze Sweeps Paris; Even Men Fall By United Press PARIS, Jan. 22.—The click-click you would hear in Paris if you dropped in suddenly from other parts, would be neither an infernal machine nor the town hall clock; it would be the conversation of chattering knitting needles gossiping through miles of bright and somber wool! As the wool sparks fly the needles gradually shape objects of the latest design and novelty stitch into gloves, bags, berets, suits and jumpers, whole ensembles, hats and scarves. A tricot here, a tricot there and as you wonder how in the world so much knitted apparel can be produced in so short a time, you discover that a veritable army of knitters has been conscripted by the fashion houses. The paper sack of yarn and needles opened on the bus you ride to work in (and who isn’t working these days if she can) and busily worked upon by a little ouvriere, may be bought from one of the big houses by her royal highness This-or-That. In other words, the employment situation is decreasing rapidly in France, for knittters are “planted” in all parts of the state. Even men are at it, and it is no startling sight to see a taxi driver at his stand, knitting away as he waits for a customer! Many of them learned during the war and just after, and they have been very apt pupils at catching on to the new and intricate stitches demanded by modern knitting.

Display of Dictionaries at Ayres Unfolds History of Words From Beginning Merriam Exhibit Shown at Fair in Chicago Is to Be on View Remainder of Week; Volumes Show America’s Progress. , BY HELEN LINDSAY ONE of the most fascinating modern pastimes is brought to the attention of Indianapolis patrons of the L. S. Ayres store this week, in a Century of Progress display of Webster dictionaries, assembled by the G. and C. Merriam Company, publishers of the dictionaries since 1843. In the display is shown the tracing of words to their origins. The display which has come to Ayres is the same which visitors to the fair in Chicago found of great interest. In addition to exhibits showing the original sources of many words of common usage, the display shows the connection between different editions of the dictionary and important events

in American history. The old desk, which was owned and used by Noah Webster, is now owned by the dictionary publishers. The display is divided into two sections—the first dealing with historical events, and the other with picturesque word origins. Noah Webster published the first large American dictionary, two volumes containing 70,000 words, in 1928, five years after President Monroe's announcement of “The Monroe Doctrine.” The dictionary was published after Webster had spent twenty years in its preparation. In 1864, the year after Lincoln’s Gettbysburg address, Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary was published, with a vocabulary increased by 114 000 words. This work was supervised by Dr. Noah Porter, later president of Yale university. Just a year before the California gold rush, the first of the Merriam-Webster dictionaries was published.

supervised by Professor Goodrich of Yale, Noah Webster's son-in-law. In the same year in which the conference at Washington inaugurated relations between the United States and the South American republics, the new edition of Webster was published, called Webster's International Dictionary, in recognition of English as a world language, and of Webster as the authority of the English-speaking world. * tt tt tt tt v Consider 1900 Edition Most Important TtA’ORE than six times the original number of words were included !fl the next of the series of the publication, which is considered by authorities to be the most important. It was published in 1909, the sama year in which Peary electrified the world with his dash to the pole. In it were 442.000 words. In recent years, television, aviation, engineering and many other arts and sciences have made it necessary to add to the dictionary 5,000 new and authentic worls. Taken from the exhibits shown at Ayres are the following picturesque explanations of the origin of some of our present day words: “Candidate” originally meant “one clothed in w'hite.” In Latin, “candius” means “glittering” or “white.” Among the ancient Romans, a man campaigning for office wore a white toga, and was called “candidatus” —“one clothed in white.” Directly from this origin comes our word “candidate,” with the meaning “one campaigning for office.” “Chapel” had its origin from the Sacred Cloak of St. Martin. When St. Martin died at Tours, his cloak was preserved as a holy relic. Latin “capella”—“a little cloak”—came to mean also the sanctuary in which St. Martin’s cloak was kept. Then “capella” came to denote any shrine in which sacred things were kept, and later any building used for sacred services. Latin “capella” became old French “chapele,” and English “chapel.” tt tt tt a tt tt Pebbles Brought Word i Calculate' > “/CALCULATE” was developed from thp counting stones of the Romans, who did their reckoning with the aid of little stones. The Latin word for the pebble used in this way was “calculus” diminutive of “calx,” meaning “limestone.” From “calculus” was formed the verb ‘calculare”— “to calculate,” and its past participle “calculatus” is the immediate origin of our word “calculate.” “Curfew” brings to the minds of students of ancient customs the life of peasants in the middle ages. At a fixed hour, they were required to cover their fires. The time was announced by the ringing of a bell, called the “cover-fire,” French “couvre-feu.” The Norman French used it in England, the medieval English adopted “curfu,” and it has come down to modern English as “curfew.” “Neighbor” has an Anglo-Saxon origin. It originally meant a nearby farmer. In the Anglo-Saxon language, “neah” meant “nigh” or “near,” and ‘gebur” meant dweller” or “farmer.” These two words were combined into ‘neahgebur,” meaning literally “a nearby farmer.” From this source came our own word “neighbor,” with a meaning broadened enough even to signify nations in the modern world. A “broker,” according to the information provided in this word source display, was originally a vendor of wine. The word is derived from old French “broquier” or “brokier,” a dialectal form of “brochier”—meaning “one who broaches or taps a cask to draw off the liquor.” Thus the original broker was a vendor of wine; later any small retailer, peddler, or agent, and from this lowly beginning, the word has developed to its present dignity. The display will be at the Ayres store throughout this week.

MAGAZINE CLUB OFFICERS NAMED Officers were re-elected Saturday at the annual luncheon of the Magazine Club in the Silver Cup tearoom, 2035 North Meridian street. They are: Mrs. Robert T.
