City Artist I Puts Work on Display Content Without Studio, Mrs. Helen Woodward Paints At Home. BY BEATRICE BURGAS Time* Woman’* Pat' Editor MRS. HELEN WOODWARD is an artist who is satisfied without a studio. She likes to paint at home so she may keep an eye on her 3-vear-old daughter. She says, too, that she can paint any place in the house because it is so light and cheery. This week she is exhibiting with

Miss Geraldine Scott in the Lyman galleries. They will receive their friends from 2 to 4 Saturday afternoon. M r s. Woodward is more than mildly excit: and about her •xhibit because it is her first oneman show in In'ianapolis. Several years ago she nad one at Lojansport. A batik shawl in

Miss Rurgan

the exhibit attracts attention. ‘ Fanny Brice has the original.” Mrs. Woodward said. “In 1926 she appeared here in the ‘Music Box,’ and my friend. Camille Renault, was in the show’." The company attended a New Year's eve ball, and Mrs. Woodward was a member of Miss Renault's party. Designed Walker Hangings “I wore the shawl and Miss Brice was so impressed with it that she wanted it. I gave it to her,” Mrs. Woodward recalled. Mrs. Woodward designed several hangings for productions of Stuart Walker's stock company when it played here. “The Hunt” was made originally for Mr Walker and now is owned now by Carlos Recker. A sketch of it is hung at this week's exhibit. Mrs. Woodward prefers painting still life and is fascinated by the line, shape and color in glass, brass and pewter. A water color in the show is a reproduction of her own dining room window, arranged with a collection of bottles. Three windows in the room are shelved for her bottle collection. Picked From Junk Heaps “I have all kinds. Several I picked up in shops at Provincetown, Mass., where I studied with Charles i Hawthorne. I wandered over the dunes and picked them out of junk heaps. Most of them couldn’t be called ‘collectors’ ’ bottles, but they are none the less beautiful to me,” • she said. < One very large green bottle she won at a Provincetow’n costume ball j for the most artistic headdress. "Os course, they didn't know I was so fond of bottles. They told me it was used for many years on a ship," she said. A Spanish wine bottle is another of her favorites. Wins Costume Prizes Mrs. Woodward has won other j costume prizes. At an Indiana Artists’ Club ball one year she re- ! ceived the award for the most original costume. She painted scales on green material, draped a fishnet about her and called herself a mermaid. She is secretary and director of the club. She paints mostly with water j colors now. but in 1929 she won the ; Tri Kappa prize at the Hoosier j salon at Marshall Field's in Chicago for the best oil painting. The year before her water color entry received first prize. She has exhibited frequently at the John Herron Art institute and has won prizes at the Indiana state fair. William Forsyth and Paul Hadley are her Indianapolis teachers. She is mentioned in the “Who's Who in Art." DINNER-MEETING SET FOR ALUMNAE Mrs. O. M.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Would you like to discuss your problems with a sympathetic person? Write to Jane Jordan, who will help you with your adjustments by her answers in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—Why do all in-laws interfere with their children's lives and plans? Perhaps all in-laws don't but ours do. We can't turn around without hearing their opinions, etc., on the the subject. We were forced to live with them for eighteen months. At first everything was fine, though even then enough was too much. Then they tried to block every step and would if they could. Every time we go there, it is the same thing. Just when I think I’ve conquered my feeling, out it comes again. I could have a grand time if only I were never required to stay at their home. Is there any way in which I can overcome this feeling? After all there is good in every one, even in-laws. THANK YOU. Answer When people resent their "inlaws" it usually is because the parents actually do not want their children to grow up and be

in and ep e ndent. They are not able to accept them as adults, capable of making their own decisions and directing their own lives. In a measure (hey are right in cases where the young are obliged to live at heme in order to receive financial assistance from the old. Even so.

js i*y jSjj

Jane Jordan

instead of encouraging the young people to separate from the family and form one of their own, the parents continue to delay the process of growing up by constant direction. It is as if the parents had become dependent on their children's dependence and could not live happily without it. When the young grow up the old people are liki workers thrown out of employment. All of the energies which went into the rearing of their children are suddenly blocked off without adequate outlet ill other pursuits. Their interests are insufficient to keep them from meddling in the lives of the young. When you are obliged to visit your husbands family, it will help

f if you confine your conversation to j superficial things. Refrain from ; discussing plans and opinions which i may arouse their managerial inj stincts. Go your own way without i arguing about what you do. You I can be pleasant without resisting ! their well-meant advice which you w r ould do well to let go in one ear and out the other. Here is how one man handles his mother-in-law. His tolerant viewpoint may be of some help to you, although it is probably a little easier to handle in-laws w'hen they live in your own home than when you live in theirs. Financial independence of parents gives one more power. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—Two men who work in the same office with me were complaining about their waves’ mothers who live with them. This was more than I could stand, for I, too, have a mother-in-law who lives with us and has for seventeen years. When I married my wife I told her mother that her home was w T ith us as long as she lived and I meant it. Sometimes she is not as agreeable as she might be. but aren't we all affected that w T ay at times regardless of our age? My wife is one of six children and my mother-in-law' is partial to her. Thank the Lord for giving me sense enough to understand my wife's feelings towards her mother. At times her mother is sick in bed for a week or two at a time and I help in caring for her. She was willing to do this for us when she was younger. We have tw T o , children and will get old ourselves, and we are trying to set a good example before our own. This talk about mother-in-laws makes me tired, for every mother-in-law 7 is someone's mother. One of these nitwit men today was small enough to say that if his wife loved her mother so much she should have stayed with her. In my estimation no man who is a man would make a remark like that. L. R. C. Answer —You are to be congratulated on a happy solution of the mother-in-law problem, but you must rerhember that it isn’t always so easy. Probably what these men who have angered you resent is the fact that their wives are still too babyishly dependent upon their mothers. Very likely they carry their helplessness over into their relationship witn their husbands. There is another angle which you overlook. These men may have had a severe struggle to escape from the domination of their ow 7 n mothers. Probably they married to have a home which was free fiom the constant bossing of a mother. Under such circumstances it is almost too much to expect them to be tranquil when they find themselves in the same identical situation. You're proved your ability to be tolenant with one situation. Why don't you try to understand the factors behind the revolt of your friends instead of issuing a general condemnation? ana Dear Jane Jordan—Our little child 3 years old has decided not to sleep in her own bed. “Say, 1 want to sleep in the big bed,’’ she says. I work to support the family and I am in very poor health. I am not able to hang on the edge of the bed all night; so I spanked the child. Her father grabbed me and started to beat me and told me to go if I didn't like sleeping with the child in bed. Now I have to sleep on the davenport with two coats for cover, as we do not have extra covers. I cried all night and my thyroid has almost choked me since. Today I spent money for my almost broken back caused by the smart driving of my husband over a year ago. Is it worth while to stay any longer? WONDERING. Answer—l am tempted to say, "No. it is not worth while," but after all I do not know enough of the circumstances to warrant such an impulsive reply. I do not know what your husband’s complaints against you are. It may be that

Review Covers First Year of Hospital Group First year activities of the White Cross Children's Cheer Guild were | reviewed yesterday at the guest luncheon at the nurses' home of the j Methodist hospital. Mrs. George E. iHo a gland Jr. presided. Special guests attending were i Mrs. Felix T. McWhirter, president of the White Cross Center; Mrs. W. C. Hartinger, first vice-presi-dent; Mrs. John G. Benson, third vice-president; Mrs. J. W. Noble, recording secretary; Mrs Florence Herz Stone, publicity, and Miss Thelma Hawthorne. Mrs. Charles Coy installed the new officers. Mrs. McWhirter spoke on the purpose of the White Cross and Mrs. Benson discussed the work of the guilds. Hostesses were Mrs. Hoagland, Mrs. Arthur E. Vehling, Mrs. Cleo Wiltsie, Miss Agnes Peele, Mrs. Theodore Hoss and Mrs. Harold Haught. EVELYN CRAVEN TO WED IN HOME RITE' Miss Evelyn Craven, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Craven, 847 North Dearborn street, will become the bride of Frank H. Kampe tonight at the Craven home. The Rev. William T. Jones will read the ceremony. The bride will wear blue crepe with bride's roses, and her only attendant, Miss Catherine N. Craven, will be gowned in tearcse crepe with Briar Cliff rcses. Arthur B. Tnompscn will be best man. The couple will be honored following the ceremony at a reception at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Wencke, 2638 Napoleon street. CHENILLE CRAVATS JOIN STYLE PARADE Scarfs are seen on the style stage again. The new neckwear ranges from heavy knitted wools to little | ribbon fancies. Chenille cravats are one of the smartest neck novelties. They are | made of loops of the soft silken cord knotted high about the throat like a man’s cravat. They come in such bright hues as emerald green, sapphire blue, sky blue and rose and add a bright touch to a dark frock. OFF SHADES IN WOOLS OFFERED Composition wools make an interesting group in the new fabric department. They are a medley of widely differing strands and threads j with an assortment of odd -colors, off-shades of better known hues. Almost invariably there are gold or silver threads—sometimes colored j metal strands—woven in with the wool. This was started last summer for a few winter wools and met with such success that you will marvel at some of the new effects. Sequin Stoles Appear Long, straight stole scarfs of sequins or lame are draped about the shoulders as an accompaniment to frocks of the same fabric. there is something you could do to control him. I do know that the situation is much worse for the child than it is for you. No child has any business sleeping with parents. The father's unreasonable antagonism i against your just and right decision to protect your own rest and your child's health does not promise much for the baby's future welfare. It is both wrong and cruel for parents to let an innocent child become the bone of contention between them.

Two Spring Style Shows in One Afternoon Draw City Women to Stores Outstanding’ Followers of Fashion Seen at L. S. Ayres Display; Radio Program Given With H. P. Wasson Exhibit. BY HELEN LINDSAY MANY Indianapolis women sighed yesterday at the physical impossibility of being in two places at once. With two of the big spring fashion shows open at the same time, it wouldn't have been at all bad to have been twins. At L. S. Ayres, among the interested spectators were some of the most fashionable of Indianapolis women. Seen in the audience were Mesdames C. E. Whitehill, Donald Test. Ernest Krutzsh, Roy Elder Adams and Joseph Stickney. Mrs. Samuel Lewis Shank, accompanied by her sister. Miss Clara

Gilbert, attended. Others who watched the fashion parade were Mesdames William J. Hogan. Charles Jewett. Ernest Sellers, and. Marie Delson Morrell, prominent violinist. The tailored black net restaurant dress, presented just two weeks ago by Mainbocher in the Paris opening. was shown at Ayres. It is a knit dress of dinner length, with huge white taffeta bow at the neck With it was worn a knit coat in black. Another interesting costume was the fitted navy blue cheviot overcoat, made with velvet collar, and worn with a blue hat and a long white walking stick. The bridal party was particularly feminine. ‘Two bridesmaids were seen in pink chiffon gowns, made with long 1880 trains, carrying huge bouquets of pink and red roses. The maid of honor wore a dress showing Chanel’s silhouette, sheathlike to the knees, of pink eyelet embroidered batiste. The bride’s gown was fitted of white satin, with

extremely long train. The veil came over the face, and was fitted n the back like a cap. One of the most unusual of the costumes was Jo Copeland's evening dress, in pomegranate, a deep purple red. It was made of shirred net from the neck to below the knees, belling to the floor in spiral ruffles. The neck was low in front and back, with ruffles covering shoulders. The effect of modern literature was seen in the Anthony Adverse redingote costume, with a red velveteen coat worn over a black, red and white printed dress. Tobe Presents ‘Spring Cocktail ’ AT H. P. Wassons, with a hook-up with national radio programs, patrons heard the voice of Tobe. internationally famous stylist, present the newest and smartest clothes in the Grand ballroom at the RitzCarleton in New York. Simultaneously with the showing of these costumes in New York, they were shown to an Indianapolis audience on the second floor of the Wasson store, where amplifiers brought the explanation to the audience which had reserved seats several days in advance. Tobe called the fashion show "Spring Cocktail.” Under such titles as “Dash of Bitters,” "Gocd Mixers,” and "Side Car,” country club sports clothing was shown. "Dash of Bitters” was an overplaid tweed, definitely British, the material of which has been sponsored by the prince of Wales. ‘Silver Fizz’ Is Bridal Dress THE climax of the show was the bridal scene, with twin bridesmaids in costumes called "Pousse Case,” in heaven blue net. suggested by Molyneux. The bride wore "Silver Fizz,” a dress in ice blue net. Not the least important in the bridal party were the flowers which the bride and her attendants carried. Arranged by Mrs. Edward Rieman, of the Meridian Flower Shop, the flowers carried out the idea of spring. The bride carried a soft, loose arm bouquet of light yellow daffodils, white sweet peas, and cream freezia, tied with an egg shell satin bow, with streamers to the floor. The bridesmaids carried similar bouquets of golden gleam nasturtiums, rainbow freezias in amber shades, and small daisies, tied with yellow satin bows and long streamers.
