Pace Editor ALL modem notes of the Meridian Hills Country Club pave way for furniture, fashions and pleasures of pioneer days at the Abraham Lincoln party Saturday night. The club was emptied of its usual furnishings. which were replaced by heirlooms of club members. Guests were attracted by a pair of oil portraits of Mrs. Arthur Krick’s grandparents, painted by Jacob Cox. the first portrait painter in Indiana. Mrs. Krlck's father tells an interesting story' of the painter, also musically inclined. He lived at the old Browning hotel on the site of the
New York store building. His friends collected a purse to send him to Cincinnati to buy materials. He went by stage coach. He was expected to return in a short time. Several weeks passed, and he didn't return. Finally he arrived with musical instruments enough to start a string band at tfce First Presbyterian church, then at the corner of Market and Pennsylvania streets. Congregation members were shocked by an orchestra in a church. Mrs. Ralph Colby loaned a melodeon which she bought for her country' home, furnished in early American style. Samplers belonging to Mrs. Hugh J. Baker hung on the walls. An old picture of Lincoln belongs to Mrs. Lawrence V. Sheridan. On each side of the fireplace were spinning wheels.

Lincoln and greeted guests as they arrived in pioneer and other period stvles of dresses. Mrs. E H Kemper McComb loaned an old coverlet, and a cake stand, Edward W Harris, dressed as General Ulysses Grant, managed the games, which were popular m early days. One contest involved guessing
the length and weight of a mosscovered rail, brought from a fence on the farm of Mr and Mrs. Baker. Carl Eveleigh’s guess was most accurate among the men and Mrs. B. F. Kelly's among the women. Another which caused unusual amusement was a foot race. Contestants took off their shoes and dropped them in a basket. After running the length of the room and back, the idea was to find their own shoes in the basket. The first to retrieve his won. Ira Minnick and Mrs. John Curry were the fleetest. Win at Spelling. In the spelling match, certain signs represented letters of the alphabet Spelling of cat meant hopping for c. bowing for a and sitting down lor t. B. F. Kelly and Mrs. Colby were the best spellers. Howard S. Morse, club president, introduced Mrs. Kathryn Turney Garten. who gave a reading on "February Personalities." Tables were laid with red and white cloths and appointed with old china. . Baked beans were served in pots and the ambrosia was mixed with coconut according to an old recipe. Coal oil lamps and candle lanterns lighted the tables. Walter S. Morse, president of the club, won the costume prize. He appeared as Booth, Lincoln s assassin. Mrs. H. C. Sheridan of Frankfort came as Martha Washington and won the women's prize. Wears 1888 Costume Mrs. Harris’ plum poplin dress, with its train and white fichu, belonged to her mother, and Mrs. Clarence Merrill's plum poplin dress and feather-trimmed hat were made in 1888 bv her mother. Mrs. Lawrence V. Sheridan wore a blue taffeta dress from the trousseau of Mrs. Sheridan's mother. A jet-trimmed bonnet, trimmed in rosebuds, a cameo necklace and fan worn by Mrs. H. R Cunnning were accessories in her mother s trousseau. Mrs Paul Moffett wore a white-hooped skirted dress, a favorite gown of her grandmother.

Manners and Morals
If you're all tangled up In a problem, write to Jane Jordan for advice and consolation. Readers who recognize their own experiences in the letters are invited to share their wisdom with others. Dear Jane Jordan I am 24 years old, in love with a man of 32. I worship the ground he walks on, and would do anything for him. He says he loves me and
that if he doesn't marry me there will be no one else in his life. He says he has lived long enough now' to know what he wants. He has been out of work for a year. However, he has some money as he held a very good position while here. After losing his job he went to his home in the

west, many, many miles from here. He has'returned several times to see me, and each time tells me we will be married just as soon as he finds a job. I hold a responsible position in a bank and have told him we could get along on my salary, but he refuses. I admire him for his pride, but don’t you think that in these times people should drop a certain amount of it where happiness is concerned? We could get along O K as he isn’t broke and won’t be for some time. Neither of us desire children, so what is there to hold us back? Things are bound to break soon. We have gone together three years and it is impossible to continue this way without heartbreak, and I'm nearly there. If I lost him my life would be over, because he has been my one bright spot up to date. I can’t wait much longer. FRANCES. Answer—l‘admire you both. He, because he won’t surrender his independence and for his hardihood in refusing to incur responsibilities which he can not carry. You, because, unlike many women, your love is not dependent upon the financial advantages of acquiring a husband. It is said that the test of the morale of an army consists of its ability to mark time under pressure. Certainly I know of no situation in life harder to bear than those periods in which there is nothing to do but stand still and mark time. Women desperately in love are no respecters of convention. They are not guided by what is done and what is not done. They will smash all the rules of proper conduct high, wide and handsome to get to the man they love. Gallant gamblers in love, they are led by the unruly heart and not by the cooler head. They battle inertia with fury and insist on “doing something” about the situation, no matter what, just so it’s action of some sort! Better to err, better to suffer, better to upset a whole cart full of apples than to be thwarted in a compelling desire! The worst of it is that once married, and desire fulfilled, they are apt to be influenced by the very conventions which they threw out with such vigor. After the flame has subsided it does make a difference what other people think. You, for example, would shrink under the half whispered gossip, “She supports him . . . she bought herself a husband.” I’ve seen other women try this very thing only to discover that they weren’t quite the magnanimous person they though they were. If the husband isn’t grateful enough, if he doesn’t hustle enough, if he doesn't show his appreciation often enough, if he so much as looks at another woman, resentment arises like a subtle poison to infeet their whole relationship. The husband, too, is on the defensive. He becomes over-anxious to get a job,

and his very tensity militates against him. Instead of relegating the economic element to the background as a thing of no importance, they only succeed in over emphasizing it. You shouldn’t urge the young man into a situation which would injure his pride. He’d take it out on you in various small ways that would endanger your love. Better mark time a little while longer until things break better for him. And after all, isn’t the fear of losing him what is uppermost in your mind? Isn't he worth trusting after all? u a a Dear Jane Jordan—Seven years ago my best girl friend Betty met Jack. From that first date they went steady all through college. Betty’s mother disapproved of the affair, but offered no constructive suggestion, nor gave reasons against it. Three years ago they were secretly married. Six months later, when it leaked out, her mother was greatly enraged, summoned Jack, bawled him out horribly and sent Betty home with him on the next train. The last few months Jack has been leaving Betty while he goes to a distant town over week-ends. Upon his return he tells her of his trip to his former employer’s home, where he spends so much time in the company of the man’s daughter, a senior in high school. Whenever Betty jokingly mentions the other girl, he accuses her of being jealous. He refuses to give her any money except for running expenses, and never takes her anywhere. Betty, however, continues to remain true blue and feels she should for the sake of their little girl. What do you think? Answer —I think Betty probably married because of the necessity of asserting herself against a domineering mother. Now she is caught in a worse trap than before. Jack was by no means ready for the adult problem of marriage. He is still a flirtatious kid. Now Betty is under the bitter necessity of admitting that her mother was right after all. If she is a courageous character, she’ll find some way to earn her own living. In no other w r ay can she compensate for her humiliation and command the respect of her irresponsible husband. There is nothing to be gained by following in his footsteps, nor can she remain in her present position without heartbreak. Too bad that Betty made growing up a harder process than it needs to be by impulsively jumping into a situation for which she was unprepared.

Job in Crossroads Store Started Business Career of City Chain Founder Lafayette Andrew Jackson, at Age of 13, Went Out Into World; Death Took Parents During Boyhood in Kentucky. BY HELEN LINDSAY HE trudged down the mountain paths of Kentucky, a lone 13-year-old boy. Behind him were the graves of his mother and father. Before him were unknown adventures in the field of business. He began them clerking in a crossroads grocery, where he stood on a wooden box to reach the shelves. He was Lafayette Andrew Jackson, founder of the Standard Grocery Company, operating Indianapolis chain groceries. Almost as a monument to his business ability are the twenty-seven new world's fair stores which have been opened during the last year. They represent the fulfill-
ment of his advice to his three children. Chester. Howard and Charlotte, who now carry on the business which their father started in Indianapolis in 1897. “Every time an outside chain opens one store, open two of your own,” he told his children. Mr. Jackson's first store was on New' Jersey and Washington streets, opened at the close of one of the w'orst panics the United States had known. He had secured first a building in another section of the city, and was preparing to open his business there. When he began to paint the front of the building a bright red, the owner objected to the color. Mr. Jackson gave up the building with characteristic “snap judgment” and sought another location. “If I’m going to conduct my business in a store. I want to be able to choose the coior of my ow r n store front,” he said.
Ten Minutes Changed Career TTE came to Indianapolis from Cincinnati, where he had w'orked for a -l A grocery chain. His first desire was to locate his own business in Louisville. When he sought a lease on the building which he selected there, he found that it had been rented just ten minutes before. That ten minutes gave to Indianapolis one of its largest businesses. The store in which Mr. Jackson worked as a boy was one of three buildings at Bachelor's Rest, Ky. The next year after he began work there, his employer gave him a plot of ground on which he farmed on moonlight nights after his day’s w'ork in the store w T as finished. Money saved from this work paid his tuition in Normal university, Lebanon, 0.. where one of his teachers was Professor Holbrook, author of one of the best books on mathematics. From the instruction w'hich he received in that school, and the experiences he had in that first smn.li grocery, Mr. Jackson gained his business training. Ban a a a Business Claimed Attention Daily HE never was absent from his business a day. He did the bookkeeping and buying for all of his owrn stores. In 1911 he took his first vacation. driving day and night over the Labor day holiday, to visit his birthplace in Kentucky. It was his first return visit to the scenes of his childhood, where he had followed a blazed trail through the woods seven miles for his first schooling. The new' Standard stores have been built with features borrowed from A Century of Progress buildings. They show the same vivid colors, stainless steel designs and simplicity of line.
