A Woman’s Viewpoint

BY MRS. WALTER Ftii^^aON AS the time for fall cleaning approaches, I begin to feel sorry for apartment house dwellers. In order to be entirely happy a woman should have an attic. I know all the arguments against them, of course. They get cluttered up with useless truck. They are catch-alls for trash and make a lot of extra work, while

the stuff you accumulate in them is of no earthly use. On the other hand, consider their advantages. Surely nothing is quite so enjoyable as a long grimy day spent m what is commonly called “straightenin g the attic." If it happens to

be raining so much the better. The patter on the roof is a kind of musical obligato for each excursion down memory’s lane. You unearth an old box. let us say, and decide, just for curiosity, to take a peek inside it. You’ll only be a minute. And there, right on top, it may be, is a tiny shoe with a hole in the toe and the heel worn to a frayed edge. The little girl who once wore it is now your 17-year-old, but that fragment of soft twisted leather restores to your arms for a moment the baby she used to be. So you sit very still for a while remembering her funny efforts at conversation, her toddles behind you and the way her hair stuck up around the small impudent face. After that you are lost. Cleaning vanishes from your mind, and you succumb to sentiment, indulging to the full your desire for research into your yesterdays. Down you dig, into what may look like a trash pile to others, but what- is for you a series of heart clutching souvenirs. Here is the drum the first-born once beat so deafeningly in the first home you ever had—an ugly, defenseless, frzrtne shack, worried by winter gales and bitten by summer sun. But it housed your dreams, some that have come true and many you know now will never be realized. The search continues. Curly wisps of baby hair, yellowed dance programs, newspaper clippings, a worn-out fan, pieces of a quilt never finished, bits of lace, musical scores of unremembered songs, and old, old pictures of almost forgotten faces. Relatives, friends, college chums whom the years have turned into strangers. Twilight falls. The voices of the family below shout to you, banishing reveries. The cleaning is unfinished, but what a journey you've had into the land of nevermore!

Card Parties

Hoosier auxiliary, Veterans of Foreign Wars, will entertain with a fish supper from 5 to 7:30 tonight. Card party will follow. Mrs. R. R. Cook, chairman, will be assisted by Mrs. Arthur Haught and Mrs. Emma Barrett.

Wasson Store to Offer New Fitting Service to I. Miller Shoe Wearers ‘Measuright,’ New Invention, Will Be Used With X-Ray Machines to Insure Comfortable Footwear. BY HELEN LINDSAY GROWING necessity for improved shoe-fitting facilities has induced the I. Miller Company, shoe manufacturer, to inaugurate anew service in shops throughout the country. The service soon will be given at the H. P. Wasson store, where I. Miller shoes are shown exclusively in Indianapolis. Introduction of the new fitting service was made in New York recently at a meeting to which members of the press were invited. Through the medium of a playlet given on a little stage, in which the old methods of shoe fitting were illustrated, followed by the new system, the plan was outlined to the guests of the I. Miller Company.

The complete plan involves the training and assistance of a master fitter in each shop, and a complete course of training for all salesmen. Salesmen at the Wasson store soon will be included in this course. Along with the X-ray machine, which has been in use in the Wasson shoe department for some time, and by which the customer is enabled to see the bone structure of the foot, the new method will use another device, the “Measuright.” This device is exclusive with I. Miller and measures both feet at the same time. U tt tt Advice Given on Children's Attire LOUISE POWELL SCHILLING, dancing teacher who is connected with the Arthur Jordan Con-

servatory. met children who came to the Wm. H. Block Company children’s department today, advising them and their mothers on correct clothing for fall and winter. Mrs. Schilling will be at the store through Wednesday of next week, to give the same service to children. For years she has been in close touch with children of all ages, and has become acquainted with their clothing needs. She will be able to give advice as to the suitability of colors and in costumes for children from 2 to 16. a tt a tt tt tt Miss Mayer Completes Designing Course INDIANAPOLIS soon may include among her celebrities a clothing designer, if the promise which Miss Emma Mayer, 416 Hancock street, has shown develops. Miss Mayer recently completed an intensive summer course in design and fashion illustration at the Traphagen School of Fashion, New York. Among the new courses inaugurated this summer at the school were interior decoration, posture, theatrical design and textile design. One special scholarship class in textiles is offered to students whose work shows promise. tt tt tt tt tt tt Athletic Club Season to Open Sept. 29 RESERVATIONS for the opening party at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Saturday, Sept. 29, are being accepted. Henry Theis and his orchestra have been engaged for time between studio engagements at WLW in Cincinnati by the club. Mr. Theis once deserted the orchestra business to become a business man. He opened two cases in Detroit, where outstanding bands were featured, but left the business world a few months later to reorganize his band. Elaborate plans are being made by A. E. Martin, manager of the club, for the opening dinner. Dancing will be in the fourth floor ballroom from 9to 1. and after 10 an ala carte supper service will be available. Attractive new menu cards have been put in use at the club. Os bright color, they bear the club insignia at the top, and below this separate slips of different colored papers, bearing the luncheon, dinner, de luxe dinner, and ala carte menus. i tt tt tt tt tt a Sandringham Is New Blue AMERICA probably soon will be using the new color which has been accepted so enthusiastically in England. The color is a light blue, bordering on pale, greenish aqua blue, and is called Sandringham blue. It takes its name from the- summer palace of the British royal family, and is particularly suitable for monotone tweed costumes. Recent showings of the new color have been made in some of the stores in the east. Among the costumes shown in the new color are reefer topcoats, casual topcoats with pleats at each side of the front, jacket suits with stiching and buttonless closing at the side, as well as fitted youthful jacket suits with three slit pockets to the side. In addition to these, shirtwaist dresses also have been shown in Sandringham blue. The proper color for accessories with the new shade is said to bo brown, which has been shown effectively with it.

Contract Bridge

Today’s Contract Problem South Is playing the contract at four spades. West opens the jack of clubs. How should declarer play the hand? Would you pull a couple rounds of trump?

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KFNNEY Secretary. American Bridge League WHEN your opponents have bid for a small or a grand slam, do not step out with the idea that you are going to try to win three or four tricks against them. Be satisfied to win one or two tricks. Remember that setting a slam contract is winning yourself at least 1,000 points. Therefore, give a great deal of time and study to your opening lead against a slam bid. If it is possible to establish a trick for yourself, do so; otherwise, try to establish one in your partner’s hand. Today’s hand came up in the recent national championship tournament of the American Bridge League at Asbury Park, N. J. Those who opened the king of hearts held the contract to six, but those who were greedy for extra tricks opened the six of clubs and received a bad score, as the declarer was then able to develop a squeeze Jo make seven odd. an tt WHEN West opened with the six of clubs, the seven was played from dummy, forcing East's queen, the declarer’s king winning the trick. Two rounds of spades were won in dummy with the king and queen. A small diamond was returned and won by declarer with the ace.

Mrs. Lindsay

Two more spades were led and on the second spade West discarded a diamond, a heart and diamond were played from dummy, and East discarded a heart. A small club was played, dummy’s ten was finessed, and declarer then casher the good king and queen of diamonds, discarding two hearts from his own hand. West dropped a diamond and a heart, being forced to hold the clubs. A heart was played next and won by the declarer with the ace, West's queen dropping. Now all the declarer had to do was to play his last spade and West was squeezed. If he discarded the king of hearts, declarer’s jack of hearts would be good, while if a club was discarded, dummy’s ace and three of clubs would win the last two tricks.
