Supper Dance Serves as Farewell to Summer and Heralds Winter Season Indianapolis Athletic Club, Presses New Room Into Use Before Dedication to Accommodate Guests. BV BEATRICE BIROAN Tinn Woman'* Pat* Editor GALA Is the word to it—the supper dance of the Indianapolis Athletic Club Saturday n.ght. Henry Theis' band drew so many dancers to the club that the newly decorated Lantern room was opened to accommodate th-m All of which gave ’is an unexpected inspection of the new room, which will be presented formally Thursday night at a dinner dance. Saturday's party was in a way a memorial to the passing summer. Wild gees*- ttliward in V-formation. Autumn
leaves hood'd the sidelights, and the prism chandeliers lighting the main dining room. On the other hand the Darty— in effect— wav a hallelujah to the winter season, with • of dinner dances at the club on Thursday and Sunday nights and supper dances on Friday and Saturday nights. Mr. and Mrs. Albert J Beveridge Jr. came to the party w.th Mr. and Mrs. John K. Ruckelshaus. Mrs. Rutkclshaus' black and white figured gown was so ortti pattern that it gave the effect of being check ' rely with narrow shoulder straps and i bodice accented with rhinestone buttons :uite tailored in their arrangement in rov Mrs. Beveridge’s black lace gown had a coiled sash of various colors. Miss Bettv Lee Burns' blue and crimson gown was

eye-catchmg. and Miss Hope Pfafflin's eggshell gown was sheer and fluttering. Mousse line de sole was floating about the neckline of Miss Josephine Reed'., black gown; her sister. Miss Betty Reed, had ermine tails falling over the shoulders of her black velvet gown. Joseph W. S; ickney, president, and Mrs. Stickney watched the gay
spirit of the party with enjoyment. Mrs. Stickney wore a red velvet wrap with her black satin gown.designed with a white satin bodice. We saw their daughter. Miss Elinor Stickney. slip through the crowds in a red figured frock. Mrs. Walter Baker Williams wore a knee length jacket, with elbowlength sleeves edged generously in white fox. with her white crepe gown. The Williams were in a party with Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Whitehill Mrs. Edward Paul Gallagher was another whose gown had a jacket. Hers was white too. and narrow bands of sable coiled around the neckline and looped into a tie on one shoulder. Miss Virginia Roberts removed her black velvet jacket to reveal a Duchess lace bodice to her black velvet gown. Threads of silver cmbeli. hcd the white trimming of Mrs. Walter Stuhldrcher's black gown. The white edged the pointed decolletagc; in front the finish was square and a bow added importance to the trimming. Satin Worn bv Miss Block Miss Alma Block's satin gown was a flattering autumn shade. Under the soft lights it appeared to be a deep rust. Soft folds swirled casually around the neckline in front, ended in a bow at the point of the decolletagc and fell as a sash almost to the floor. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond D. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Arch Grossman, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Duckwall. and Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Aufderheide sat together at one table. We caught a glimpse of Mrs. John Kern, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kirby. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Orbison and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mahaffey. Thomas Ruekelshaus came from the Traders Point Hunt community dinner at New Augusta; and that's another story "*re to tell you about tomorrow. * We're going to like the new Lantern room. The walls have been repainted. Grill work decorates the walls in panels, and softly colored lights behind them cast colorful shadows over the room. The dancing space is raised at one end of the room, and red. green, blue and yellow lights flicker in the floor. Indirect lighting changes the effect of the silhouette between an archway of grill work, forming the background for the orchestra stand. Maid's night out is Thursday and that s the night the club has chosen to open the room. Louis Lowe will be playing.

Dear Jane Jordan—l am a girl of 24, married to a man of 26 for nearly two years. My husband is in love with another girl, and she with him. The girl and I detest each other. We have been separated four times. I promise to do better when he comes back. Os course I don't do better. I just promise, to get him back.

girl I can hold my husband. I don't love either man and don't pretend to. My husband has begged and pleaded for a divorce, but I don’t want him to be happy or the other girl. This way 1 am happy and they are not. A WIFE. Answer—l find it diffcult to believe that any woman would write such a letter about herself. It is quite possible that a human being might have all the miserable motives which this letter reveals, but who would admit it? The diligence with which people conceal such feelings, even from themselves, amounts to a work of art. The wife in such a case might convince herself that she was one of the world's noble women, but she never would confess her guilt in any such bald fashion. I am inclined to believe thht you are not the wife, but the other woman in the case, totally incapable of understanding the problem which the wife faces. Nor do I find you entirely free

Left, a clock lamp owned by Lola Hunt. Metal strips across the bowl are numbered with the hours in relation to consumption of oil. Immediately in front of the clock lamp is the Betty lamp. Both have a small metal part to hold the wick. Next is a pewter lamp with a bull’s eye to enlarge the light from two metal tubes, an invention of Benjamin Franklin. At the right are two pew'er lamps from the collection of Miss Anna Mae Johnson, Indianapolis. The smaller of the lamps has a single metal tube, the first improvement of the wick holder. The tall lamp is a part of the permanent collection of the John Herron Art institute.
BY MRS. C. O. ROBINSON Time* Hobbv Editor THE advance in lighting efficiency from the sputtering pine knot used by the Pilgrim fathers to the brilliant electricity of today, the materials used as illuminants and the devices which held them, constitute a very interesting field for research and provide an absorbing hobby. Electricity is used so generally today that other methods of illusination seem remnants of a remote past, yet most of us are intimately acquainted with gas jets and kerosene lamps. Some few persons even may remember using whale oil and camphene lamps.and others will recall the days of candle making, when they helped mother thread the wicks and pour the home-saved grease into candle molds like the one shown above. The torch, the taper, the resinous split, the pine knot and the fat soaked rush which preceded the candle rightfully belong far back in the march of civilization, yet the present generation is cognizant of their use through stories of pioneer life, since from necessity our western pioneers reverted to their use.

from the malice which you attribute to her. It is much easier to acknowledge evil intentions when you can project them on to another person. Ido not say that this wife is not a nasty, selfish creature, but I do contend that she does not regard herself as such. B B B Dear Jane Jordan—Last April I began to go with a very nice girl somewhat younger than myself. I am of age but she is not. Then her father decided to break us up. He told me that I couldn’t come to his house any more, but he told me in an angry N unkind way which I did not like. Her mother helped us to write to each other and to see each other. Then her brother took a hand in the affair. He would come around and cuss and threaten and quarrel right out in public places. What I can’t understand is how he comes in above his mother and sister’s wishes. Was it his place to do as he has? BLUE EYES. Answer—No. The brother, of course, is identified with the father. He fancies himself in a role which is outmoded—that of the harsh and howling Pater Familias who rules the family with a rod of iron, particularly the females. The fact that the girl has her mother's sympathy indicates that the mother has had her own troubles with tliees domineering men. I feel very sorry for the girl whose individuality is being crushed by a couple of men with obsolete ideas, but I can not honestly advise you to rescue her. At your age I do not feel that you are equipped to defeat the family situation and come out w T ith flying colors. When you are older, stronger and financially adequate you may be able to carry off a maiden in distress, but as it is you will do well not to undertake more than you can handle. a a m Dear Jane Jordan—This letter is for Mabel. Will you please write to Jane Jordan and give the initials and occupation of the man in question? Also, tell how you became acquainted. My husband went with a girl by that name. I always have felt that there was a baby. I may Ibe able to help you financially. I want to make sure you are the right party before I do so. X. Y. A. Answer—l will be glad to publish initials and occupation if Mabel will write.

the light of a pine knot, familiarized all Americans with that early lighting method, yet few know that at one time burning pine knots placed in large iron baskets were the street lamps of Boston town. Although John Carver bought a little iron Betty lamp, like the one shown above, to bring to America on the Mayflower, grease was so scarce in the new country that the Pilgrims could not use better lamps, candles or even rushlights, which were so common in England, therefore they resorted to the Indian methods of lighting by burning splits and knots of pine wood. 0 a a IRON soon was discovered near Boston, and crude iron baskets were made to hold the pine knots and iron devices with a pincerlike arrangement w'ere constructed to hold the splints. These holders were as varied as they were crude for usually they were the work of some member of the family which used them. Sometimes they were fashioned to stand on the floor, sometimes they w r ere meant for a table and /often they hung from the wall or beams of the house. Later, when fats became more plentiful, these crude containers held rushlights which although used in America for years and undoubtedly made by western pioneers, are familiar to few persons today. Miss Eleanor Hudson, Winchester, Mass., an authority on the subject and one of the founders of the Rushlight Club, a group of collectors in all parts of the nation who specialize in lighting devices, sends the following description: “The rushlight sometimes was of a cat tail, but more often of the common bog rush which grows in marshy places. The rushes w'ere collected in the early fall and soaked until the outer skin could be removed. Then they were left on the grass to bleach for several days after which they were dried in the sun and dipped in grease until saturated. When burned they gave a good, clear light especially if a little beeswax or mutton suet had been added to the fat mixture. A rush about two feet long would burn almost an hour and a pound and a half of rush lights would last a frugal family for an entire year.” 0 0 0
THE crude devices which were used for illuminating purposes as well as the later containers for lighting fluids, make a very interesting and historic collection which has the added attractive feature of being adaptable to practical use. This hardly is true of the Betty lamp, which burned its twisted rag wick so smokily as it hung from the mantel or chair back, but lanterns, candleholders and kerosene lamps all fit into the modern decorative scheme. The possibilities practically are limitless with candleholders, as they range from the simple pointed stick to the elaborate candelabra with many faceted glass prism pendants, like those in the Lanier house, Madison, Ind., or the one in the Dallrooom of the Woodstock Country Club here, which originally graced the beautiful old Harry S. New home, torn down to make wav for the World war memorial plaza. Although electrified today, they once held candles that threw their mellow light through the stately, highceilinged rooms. The little eight-inch glass lamp shown above is used today as a desk lamp, although it is one of the earliest kerosene types. It especially is delightful because of the onyx base, brass column and pressed glass bowl. It was purchased by Walter R. Green’s grandfather as a surprise for his family, then living in a small Illinois town. As it was the first lamp in the community, the neighbors gathered to see it lighted, but because it began to smoke and no one knew how to turn down the wick, it was thrown out of the house for fear it would explode. Fortunately, it landed in a snowdrift, where later it was rescued, the pretty globe broken, but the base intact.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League THIS year will see many new names on the list of the national masters, the honor every bridge player strives to achieve. The American Bridge League awards masters’ points for important major tournaments. A player, in order to rate as a master, must have at least three points. There are only 102 living masters in the United States. Each year three points are deducted from each player’s score and on Nov. 1, twenty-five players out of 102 will lose their rating as masters, unless they earn new points before the year is over. One of the new names on the masters list is Aaron Frank, Cleveland, a man who, in my opinion,

is destined to rate as one of the greatest players of the country. He carefully analyses every play. Today’s hand is an example of his carefulness. B B B WEST opens the jack of spades. Now doesn’t it seem natural to play the queen from dummy? But sometimes you do not always do the natural thing and that is why contract is a popular game. Before playing to this trick, Mr. Frank carefully analyzed the hand as follows: . “If I play the queen of spades, East will win the trick with the ace. If he will return a spade, I can discard a heart and make six odd. But suppose he returns a heart. Then I may lose two heart tricks, which will defeat my contract. “If I refuse to play the queen of spades from dummy and put on a small spade, I do not think East will overtake his partner's jack. Now, regardless of what West plays, I am bound to make my contract.” Now, I want you to look over the hand and follow Mr. Frank’s line of reasoning. Can’t you see how careful it is? When a small spade is played from dummy, East allows his partner to hold the trick, and all West can do is to cash the ace of hearts, which he did. If he had not, of course, one heart would have been discarded on the queen of spades and the other on the fourth club. (Copyright. 1934. NEA Service, Inc.) Culture Club to Meet Mrs. Frank S.

Stars of Films Much in Evidence in Style Show Held at Biltmore Bowl Klieg Lights Illuminate Display of Fashions for Fall; Costumes Range From Sports to Evening and Cocktail Hours. BY HELEN LINDSAY MORE than 1,000 persons witnessed one of the most unusual and elaborate fashion shows in the country recently, when the Assistance League of Los Angeles presented the fall fashions in the Biltmore Bowl of the Biltmore hotel. Attending the show were several motion picture and social celebrities, many of whom were introduced during the luncheon. Among important motion picture stars who were introduced were Dolores Del Rio. Doris Kenyon, Katharine DeM'lle, Jeanette MacDonald, Corrine Griffith. Theda Bara, Jetta Goudall, Gertrude Omstcad, Phyllis Brooks. Lucille Land. Mrs. Ricardo Cortez and
Mrs. Victor McLaglen. Ruth Roland was mistress of ceremonies. She was dressed in a brown taffeta suit with metallic threads showing in the fabric. The suit was made with fitted jacket and slender skirt. Guests from the movie colony must have felt quite at home, for the show was brilliantly lighted with white klieg lights, and the costumes were shown in theatrical manner. Appearing on the brilliantly lighted runways were many suits, a number of which spectators sports styles, and others suitable for the cocktail hour. Lengths of coats ranged from these to the waist to coats of seven-eighths lengths, and many of the skirts were slit. Both suits and dresses showed the tunic mode. Colors were featured in montones, plaids and mix-
tures, and contrast was plentifully used, particularly in the woolen garments, which showed contrast of plain and patterned fabrics. One of the outstanding successes ot the showing was a colorful outfit, which showed a dark palm tree green wool coat, loose-hanging, and three-quarter length. It was worn ever a red satin blouse, and the hat, gloves and bag were of green checked velvet. An English imported suit was shown in a rust tweed, with a full length topcoat over a jacket suit. Tire topcoat had an open back vent, notched lapels and mannish tailored detail. The Importance of velvet and velveteen was noted in spectator sports and street clothing. One ensemble was a gray knitted dress with com dots under a fitted three-quarter length black velvet coat. Another black velvet dress had a coat of the velvet which showed the lower part of its seven-eighths length in Persian lamb. Among the fur coats was a black broadtail with a mink collar which could be worn down almost to the waist or up around the face. Persian lanrb was used in another coat, which was made with full, swinging back and full sleeves. This coat was worn over a black velvet dinner dress, and with a metallic beret. 000 000 Brilliancy Marks Evening Wear METALLIC fabrics, sequins and brilliants were used to accent the fashions for evening and cocktail hours. Tunics were seen in these costumes, these sometimes extending into trains over slender skirts. Metallic tunics were prominent over black velvet skirts, and capelets and yokes olten were formed of sequins. In evening wraps, the influence of the costumes of glamorous moving picture stars was evident. They were elegant with furs and sometimes were knee length, while others were extremely long or short. The furs most often were mink and ermine. One evening wrap had a cap collar of chinchilla, and a border of the same fur. A waist-length capelet was of flame colored ostrich and was worn over a black gown. Black sheer was used in another evening gown, which was accented by a pale pink ostrich capelet, the edge trimmed with dotted feathers. 000 000 Screen Stars' Influence Noted T'HE elegance of the evening costumes displayed in this elaborate show is representative of styles effected by the screen actresses this season. Elissa Landi is reported as having a number of elegant evening costumes, which she will wear in “Enter Madame.” One is of bluish purple lame, made with long peplums at each side. The decolletage is square both in front and back, and no jewelry is worn with the costume. Another of Miss Landi's evening gowns is of black tulle, and another is of pastel blue crepe, with a deep godet of long silk fringe, which accents the front of the skirt. The bodice of this gown is draped, and with it Miss Landi wears ruby bracelets for a color contrast.
A Woman s Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
1 CAN’T see what possible difference it makes whether worms turn or not, because they’re too insignificant to bother about. But it certainly does my heart good when lions rebel. Something inside me always sings when I read that some caged beast has shown sudden fight against men who hold whips over him. Not that
I'm bloodthirsty and like to think of men being mangled by lions, but I do loathe whatever it is inside us which makes us want to fasten animals hi small cages and force them to perform before crowds. The sight is sickening. There is something so essentially wild, free and imposing about lions that one feels an added
Mrs. Ferguson
anger when such a majestic beast is subjected to the inhuman tortures man imposes upon him. It is bad enough to keep in cages those forms of life born to roam at large, but when we beat them into going through silly tricks for the edification of unimaginative people, we only bring moral degradation upon ourselves. Seeing such spectacles children can not but be educated in a more refined form of cruelty, and while watching the ignoble subjection ol noble beasts, they are also, let us remember, developing within their little skulls perverted ideas of man's greatness. Certainly we do not prove our superiority over the inferior animals by any such methods. Now, I admit it would be unjust to saddle the individual trainer, keeper owner or exhibitor with the blame for what seems to me a social evil. But I do believe parents should think twice before they drag their little ones off to gloat over such sights. Cruelty is a kind of moral cancer

which eats its way into human consciousness, and whatever we give it to feed upon will determine whether it will survive or die within us. To rid ourselves entirely of such a primordial passion may be impossible, but it should be possible for us to recognize certain habits which foster and increase it. Cruelty to animals watching them suffer—enjoying their torments, making entertainment for ourselves out of their captivity and pain, is only an education for cruelty to humans. He who is inured to one will soon become inured to the other.
