Dinner and Dance Open New Center Athletic Club’s Lantern Room Is Scene • of Event. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Tlmrs Woman i Paco Editor Tiy|AIDS-NIGHT-OUT this win- **’■■■ ter isn't going to mean an afternoon-at-home and an eveningin for the housewife. The Indianapolis Athletic Club has solved the housewife’s problem of feeding the family without giving up her afternoons of bridge or her club meet-

ings. The club held its first Thursday night dinner dance last night in the new Lantern room; such a pleasant place to take the family or guests on the evening when the cook deserts the kitchen. Louis Lowe’s orchestra played and sang as

guests dined. Between courses we danced on the new raised floor, with colored lights twinkling on and off under our feet. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Elder Adams brought their daughter, Mrs. William C. Macomber, who has come from her home in Kendallville to visit them, and another daughter, Mrs. Morris Lanville Brown, and Mr. Brown. A lovely soft green bodice, striped diagonally in silver, set off Mrs. Macomber’s severely tailored black crepe dress. Mrs. Brown’s eel gray wool suit had a seven-eighths length coat collared in white and gray striped ermine. White lace sleeves provided a flattering softening effect for Mrs. Adams’ black crepe dress. Another family group included Mr. and Mrs. James Watson, with their daughters. Miss Elizabeth Watson and Mrs. Thomas Mahaffey, and Mr. Mahaffey. Miss Watson's brown and white checked jacket was smart with a brown skirt and brown felt hat. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W. Stickney dined with their daughter, Miss Elinor Stickney, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Frost Daggett, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Thomas and Mr. and Mrs. Will Hogan. Mrs. Samuel Lewis Shank came with her sister, Miss Clara Gilbert. In another party were Mr. and Mrs. Blaine Miller Jr., Miss Betty Reed, Burford Danner and his house guest, George Hawkins, New York, and Miss Virginia Roberts. The glamor of a gold lame blouse enhanced the brown velvet dinner dress of Mrs. Miller, who wore a matching coat of velvet. Mr. and Mrs. Norman Baxter dined alone. Mr. and Mrs. William Griffith entertained informally at their home before coming to the club for the dinner.

Contract Bridge

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League THE next time you hear a player, who has just had a bad session at bridge, say, “Well, all my finesses went wrong today,” you Just say to yourself, he probably took twice as many finesses as he should have. Remember that a finesse only has a 50 per cent chance of winning, unless the bidding indicates which hand holds the high cards. You can not be a winning player if you work on 50 per cent probabilities. You should always look for plays that give you at least a 51 per cent chance of winning. You therefore resort to the finesse only when no other play will give you your contract. Another reason why many players take losing finesses is because they do not listen to the bidding. Take, for example, today’s hand. After North’s bid of one no trump, South's bid of two hearts is forcing. But when North bids two no trump, if South only bids three hearts, he

would be asking his partner to let him play the hand at three hearts. Therefore, he must take the strain off the bidding by jumping to four hearts.

Today’s Contract Problem South is playing the contract at four spades.* West opens the queen of diamonds, which holds. He then plays the jack. East wins and returns the king of hearts How should declarer ijlay the hand? 498 5 2 V J 7 ♦ 743 A AKQJ * V * |v (Blind) W - E . .(Blind) £ Dealer ♦ AQJ 76 3 VA 3 2 ♦ 8 6 *B6 Solution in next issue. 28

WEST cashes the king, queen and ace of spades, and on the third round of spades East drops the seven j)f diamonds. West shifts to the eight of diamonds. Now. is it hard to figure out where the king of diamonds is? With West’s holding in spades, if he also held the king of diamonds, don’t you think he might, at some time, have entered the bidding? East also has made a diamond call in his discarding, so you know that if you play a small diamond, your contract is going to be defeated. You can reason, however, if East holds the queen of clubs, your contract can' be made. Therefore, the hand should be played as follows: Go up with the ace of diamonds, lead out all the hearts, discarding all the diamonds and the four of clubs and leaving only the ace, king and jack of clubs in dummy. On the last trump led you will find East is squeezed. He can not hold the king of diamonds and three clubs. If he lets go of the king of diamonds declarer's queen will be good. If he drops a club, dummy’s three clubs will take the remaining tricks. (Copyright. 1934. NEA Service. Inc.)

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN —

Please do pot ask Jane Jordan to reply without publishing your letter, as the answer would not have meaning to other readers. Your prolgem is probably so similar to dozens of others that your identity will not be recognized. Dear Jane Jordan —My boy friend and I are crazy about each other. We have gone together almost a year. My mother found out some things about his

family and made me quit him. I don’t think I should have to quit the boy just because his family isn’t anything, for he is a good kid. Ever since we quit I have not been satisfied. I don’t believe I will ever find a boy that will treat me as well as this one.

—as-

Jane Jordan

Mother wants me to go with some one who has money. This boy wants money, but doesn’t know how to get out and make it. I don’t think money has anything to do with it. This boy isn’t a bit like his family and thinks everything I do is just the stuff. I don’t give a snap for the family or for money. All that counts is do you really love the boy. What do you think? A BROKEN HEART TRYING TO MEND. Answer—Without knowing you, your mother, the boy or his family, I can’t hope to give an accurate answer. The chances are that you are an idealist and your mother is a realist. It is all very fine to say that a boy is immune to the influence of an inferior family, and that money has no value, but is it true? Your mother probably thought the same thing when she was young, but lived to learn the far-reaching effects of the family on the man, and the dampening influence of poverty on romantic love. Sometimes a great man rises from the gutter. Sometimes a poor boy succeeds in showering diamonds on the girl who believed in him. Sometimes a painful feeling of inferiority is the very spark which fires such a boy to compensate by glorious achievement. But not always. .Everything depends on your ab.lity to pick a winner. Your mother has given you very superficial reasons for quitting the boy, and you resent them because they conflict with your young ideals. Nevertheless, you must admit that she may be right. Perhaps she intuitively feels a certain lack of aggressiveness in the young man which will hinder him in rising above the level of his environment. Perhaps she spots a certain supine streak which convinces her he will not succeed in a competitive universe. And perhaps she is only an ambitious mother set on marrying her daughter to money. I do not know. It may be that you doubt your ability to win your superior, and that your vanity requires a boy who is obliged to look up to you. It may be cowardice and not courage which disguises itself from painful recognition in the cloak of idealism. In the light of analytic psychology, we find ourselves much less noble than we formerly imagined, and we are often obliged to acknowledge that motives which seemed the most pure and worthy are frequently quite the opposite. I can't take sides in your problem without knowing the people. But I do advise you to reconsider it in the light of what I have said. * a o a Dear Jane Jordan —I am a young man of 20 and for several months I have been living with a woman twelve years my senior. We have an apartment of our own and pay expenses fifty-fifty. Neither of us entertains any thoughts of marriage. Until the last few weeks we have been very’ happy. But recently two of my friends and my parents learned of our manner of living. They have joined forces in an attempt to separate us. Their argument is that we are living filthy and sinful lives and that we should at once change our way of life and forget each other. I can’t 'see it that way. I think that since We are two mature human beings and find each other’s company agreeable we should be allowed to live as we see fit. What is your opinion? M. L. W. Answer—Logically you are right ’buty/ocially you are wrong. As I

Carving Roast or Steak

BY RUTH CHAMBERS Authority On Meat Cookery. Custom has decreed that carving roast or steak falls to the lot of the man of the house, but many a man has pushed aside custom with the flattering excuse, “But you do it so much better, my dear.” And yet I have found that men who really can carve, are quite keen about doing it.

If you are one of those wives who has been doing both cooking and carving, why not encourage your husband to take over the job? Today and on one other day I am going to discuss some of the fundamen t a 1 s and some of the fine points of the gentle art of carving. I shall

leave it to your ingenuity to get the facts across to father. But before we start, let’s get your part of the carving game out of the way. First, put the meat on a platter large enough so that there will be

have pointed out many times before, life has little to do with logic, particularly where sexual taboos are concerned. / Now that an outside viewpoint' has been brought to bear on your problem you will find your relationship considerably muddied. No one can fail to be influenced by the opinions of the society in which he lives. You can fly in the face of your family and friends if you wish, but you can not escape the homelessness of the outlaw in payment.

no spilling over the edges, while carving and serving are in progress. And, second, have the right kind of a knife and see that it is sharp. To be sure, you may invite father to the kitchen to sharpen it for you just before dinner is served, but never at the table. “Why is there a nice steel to match my set?” you ask. other days, other customs, I suspect, and the steel in the carving set has descended from’those other days. How to Carve Steak But on with our carving lesson, the easiest first. And that will be the steak. No, not quite, beef tenderloin is the simplest of all, but all you can do is to cut it across in neat slices, so we won’t take up space telling about it. And now to the steak. Some persons like to cut out the bone before broiling, but I don’t. A steak is such a good looking piece of meat that I dislike seeing it marred in this way. A steak set is the most convenient to use. In this set, the knife has a thin five or six-inch blade. In carving the steak, separate ‘‘lhe meat from the bone by cutting along the edges of the bone with the knife. Then, beginning with the wide or bone end of a porterhouse or similar steak, cut into sections an inch or so ift width. Serve Pieces Equally A strip of the tenderloin and of the portion of the other muscle is served to each one. Usually the tail or flank end of a steak is not served, but if it is, it should be portioned out to all, so that one person does not get all the tenderloin and the last one served all tail. It is worth mentioning in passing that a steak bone and trimmings make a perfectly delicious soup stock —not much, to be sure, but don’t throw away the steak bone until it has done its entire duty by you. With the exception of steak, all meat should be carved across the grain. This makes for attractive, even sized portions. There is economy in good carving, for a roast goes farther when it is expertly carved. Carving Rib Roast A standing rib roast which is easily prepared is also easily carved. The roast is placed on the plattV with the ribs at the carver’s left. If there are frills on the ribs they serve as a decoration and will be much appreciated by the one who is doing the carving, for he may wish to hold the uppermost rib in his left hand to steady the roast as he cuts it. If he has his own pet ideas of this carving business, he may thrust the fork into the thick center of the roast to hold it firm. Then he cuts very thin slices across the grain of the meat until the knife touches the bone. After several slices have been cut, he draws the point of the knife along the bone to separate the slices from the ribs. This same method should be followed in carving a pot roast. A boned and rolled pot roast should be stood on end so it will not skid around on the platter. If the pot roast is a two or threeinch slice from {he beef chuck it may be a little more difficult to persuade father to slice across the grain, but after he has tried it once, the improved flavor and tenderness of the meat will have sold him on that technique. Meat Man Will Help So much of the appetite appeal of a roast is in its attractive appearance when it comes to the table beautifully browned that it seems a pity for the carving to be done in the kitchen. Especially is this true of a pork loin roast. In order to carve this roast with finesse, you will need some help beforehand, that is, at the market. Otherwise there will be trouble and much groaning, perhaps some muttering on the part of the carver. The backbone should be separated from the ribs by sawing directly across the ribs, parallel to the chine bone. Then, after the meat is cooked and before it is brought to the table the backbone should be removed. With this one off there is nothing to the task of slicing the roast. Loin roasts of all kinds should have this treatment. Veal or lamb loin roasts usually contain the kidney. Each person should be served a piece of kidney and kidney fat with the slice of meat.

Husbands Ban Gigolos; Club Hostesses May Be Routed by Wives’ Decree Cleaning- Up Dancing Situation Apparently; Will Be Thorough; Stag Line Recruits Also in Path of Reformers. BY ELEANOR GINN Timri Special Writer MEN Just can’t take it any more—competition, we mean. Not business competition, either, but social. The menacing shadow of the gigolo can no longer by tolerated. Just about the time that the stern guardians of the law yanked the dancing woman from the arms of one of these patent-haired partners our forthright young scions of society decide to strike at the gigolo of amateur standing who so often is the raw recruit in the stag fine at the best houses—and we use the word “raw” advisediy. Now, in the garden of a girl’s dreams there is no such thing as a wallflower. And since the day might, rather) of the gigolo and the stag line these dreams came true. Debutantes who have all but been killed in the rush, thanks to the prevailing cutting-in system, soon are going to need another gauge by which to measure their popularity if some determined matrons have their way about “cleaning up" society. And the young wives of old husbands or the old wives with young ideas’of non-dancing husbands—a common type—are going to learn all about wallflowers from personal experience. a a a a a a Old European Custom Thrown Out 'T'RE old European custom of providing dancing partners for wives whose husbands are too lazy, too preoccupied or too something or other to dance, after a short and merry' trial in these United States has been nipped in the bud. Husbands have not snorted and growled in vain over the importation, figuratively speaking, of these suave young men whose brains are all tangled up with their feet and whose chief concern in life is with their waistlines. They are not. after all, very formidable competition. A gigolo who knows his business—and don't forget it is a business with him—is carelul not to offend. Nor does he find it difficult being very impersonal and usually entirely disinterested in the woman he is engaged in pushing around the floor. I wouldn’t like to wager that the gigolo was not usually more on the defensive than the lady. For not all but a great maority of the women who resort to professional dancing partners have reached not only years of discretion but years of desperation as well. The lot of a gigolo, like that of Gilbert and Sullivan’s policeman. Is not a happy one. But he does very often “make the evening” for the woman w'hose escort simply can’t or won’t dance. Besides which any woman in her right mind prefers gliding over the floor with a rhythmic dancer than engaging in a hand-to-hand, knee-to-knee combat with a toe dancer who insists on strutting his stuff on her best sandals. a a a a a a Change Brings Many Questions BUT it is not to be. Under the new code of something-or-other gigolos must go and with them, not literally, women entertainers who have bloomed, flowered and faded in the hothouse atmosphere of the cabaret and night club. At least they are restricted to the area of the dance floor or something of the sort, the general idea being just another cleanup and an effort on the part of somebody or other to make the world a safe place for damsels. But how are these carefully guarded damsels going to act under the stern chaperonage of the law? How are they going to like being deprived of scores of dancing partners, be they amateur or professional? In a generation in which dance programs are obsolete what is a poor girl to do in order to satisfy the insatiable craving for dancing which seems to be a part of the modern girl’s temperament? Many a deb will give three rousing cheers for the abolishment of the cutting-in system, which never gets any girl anywhere excepting laid up for repairs. A woman’s right to say “No” is as much worth battling for as many of the causes women sponsor. The stagging system deprives her of that sacred right and gets her mauled about and messed o\er in a way that would be sure to land a gigolo in jail or dt least the hospital. With the dance floor cleared for action and dancing men greatly reduced in number, something is bound to happen. Maybe it will be a back-to-dancing-school movement. But maybe it will be a more abundant crop of wallflowers One thing is certain—in the code for wives which sooner or later will be formulated there is sure to be a clause which says in effect. Notice to husbands—no dancing with gigolos means no dancing with hostesses.”
