Manners and Morals

I* your life hopelessly entangled In the web of circumstance? Tell your story to Jane Jordan and read her comments on your problem in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—Twelve years ago I met a sweet boy (Jack) who asked me to marry him. I never was so happy in my life but we

were very young. He went to the west coast for three years. We wrote, but I was ready for mating. After a year, I met Bill. He loved me and I was hungry for just that. I had been so lonely. I knew in my heart I was doing wrong because I always had been pure and

sweet. Jack came back and I confessed everytning. He said he hadn't been an angel either and gave me a beautiful diamond. In two weeks he returned to the west coast and the old lonesomeness returned. Bill hounded me to death to go with him again, and in time we resumed the old relations. I hated myself because I wasn't strong enough to put such things away from me. I married Bill. In a year and a half he was going with another woman. Jack came back and asked if I was happy. I couldn't answer. I just gave a sob. He offered to stay here and get work but I told him to go back, and I would leave Bill and get work. He seemed worried about something, and finally wrote he had to marry a girl in California. I thought I would go insane. I didn't hear any more for three years. I couldn’t get work and there was nothing left but the same lying and cheating Bill. I sent Jack a birthday card and received a sweet letter from him. He had married the girl but wasn’t happy and was convinced the chfld wasn’t his. He said he would never be happy until I was his very own. Will you please advise me what to do. A SINNER. Answer—l can’t, for I do not know. I can not even comfort you by encouraging you to believe that if each of you succeed in ridding yourselves of your unsatisfactory partners that you could take up life where you left off twelve years ago and recapture the illusion of your youth. Neither of you is the same person the other knew twelve years ago. Each of you has been changed and remolded by experiences which the other did not share. The elements have changed character from other combinations. The expect the same results after so many alterations in the materials savors of wishful thinking. I do not say it is impossible, for I do not know. But it does seem that two people who have consistently disappointed each other over a period of twelve years are a little optimistic in expecting that their marriage will wipe out such unhappy memories. Your troubles arose from the fact that you were unable to deny the needs of the moment in the interests of the future. It may be that you have acquired more selfdiscipline from your tragic experiences. Or you still may be like children who want what they want when they want it, without the ability to weigh consequences. Your first problem is to disentangle yourselves from your present alliances. All discussion of your marriage is out of order before you prove that your strength of purpose is sufficient to straighten out your present* situation on an honorable basis. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—About two years ago I wrote to you asking your advice on a problem which was bothering me a great deal. Your answer was so understanding that it seemed impassible that you did not have first-hand knowledge of my problem. It seemed that I stood alone in my conviction, but your answer showed me that I was not. This gave me courage to go ahead. Now I am free, and my former wife’s needs are assured for the rest of her life. I have possession of my children and the love of the wonderful girl, all of which, a few years ago. I though impossible. I have received my new deal. X. Y. Z. Answer Thank you for being thoughtful enough to report your case after so long a time. I hope your letter will encourage the writer of the first letter to attack her problem courageously instead

dummy where he could get rid of them. It might embarrass him if I help up the ace.” Mr. Eisenlord’s reasoning was correct, as you will find that, if East cashes his ace of hearts, the declarer will eventually get down to a trump, the eight of hearts and ten ten-nine of clubs. The dummy will be down to the ace, king and one club and one heart. East will hold the queen, jack and seven of clubs and the jack of hearts. tt tt a ■pvECLARER then will lead the last trump, discard a heart from dummy and East will be squeezed. If he discards the jack of hearts, declarer’s eight will be good, while if he drops a club, dummy’s three clubs will be good. Watch what happens when you defend the hand the way Mr. Eisenlord did. The seven of hearts was opened, a small heart was played from dummy, Eisenlord played the nine and the declarer won the trick with the king. Two rounds of trump were taken, the second trump being won in the dummy with the ace. East discarded a club. Now came three rounds of diamonds, the declared discarding the deuce of clubs. Three more rounds of trumps, but East could not be squeezed. He was able to protect both hearts and clubs, thereby assuring himself of two tricks. (Copyright. 1934. NEA Service, Inc.)

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

—— Have a Hobby Needlework Guild Marks Fiftieth Annual Event

-v _ , v ■'

Left to Right—Mrs. Hartley Sherwood, president, Indianapolis Needlework Guild; Miss Lillian Taggart, treasurer, and Mrs. C. K. Calvert, secretary.

BY MRS. C. O. ROBINSON Times Hobby Editor THIS week the Indanapolis branch of the Needlework Guild of America joins the other 775 American branches and junior auxiliaries to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the anual round up as the membership drive and collection of donations is called. The first round up was inaugurated by a group of philanthropic Philadelphia women who particularly enjoyed sewing and found an outlet for their hobby by making clothing for others less fortunate. They organized themselves as the first American branch of the Needlework Guild, and eac?? succeeding year thereafter the guild has made a donation to the needy. The first guild was formed in England by Lady Wolverton as an exclusive society composed of aristocratic women who enjoyed the oldest and most universal feminine hobby, sewing, but today the guild no longer is restricted by class, creed, color, nationality, sex or even the ability to sew. It has grown to international proportions with branches in Ireland, France, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Australia, Switzerland, Canada, Hawaii and Panama as well as England and the United States. The national organization in America is headed by Mrs. Thomas J. Preston, formerly Mrs, Grover Cleveland, and Mrs. Oscar L. Pond of this city is the chairman of the eighteen enthusiastic branches in Indiana. The officers of the Indianapolis branch are Mrs. Hartley Sherwood, president; Mesdames Oscar L. Pond, Frank Fishback, Charles A. Garrard, M. E. Clark, vicepresidents; Mrs. C. K. Calvert, secretary; Mrs. Ray Fatout, assistant secretary, and Miss Lillian Taggart, treasurer. The executive board members are Mrs. Peter C. Reilly, Mrs. John R. Sentnev, Miss Juliette W. Bryan, Miss Elizabeth Berterman, and Miss Gertrude Baker. tt a tt THE object of the guild is to collect and distribute new articles which meet the needs of hospitals, homes and charitable organizations, and for membership it asks only two new articles of wearing apparel or household linen as an entry fee. Os course, money also is welcome and gives men an opportunity to do their share although often some men have preferred to fashion gifts. The prince of Wales, who sets the fashion for the masculine world, created the precedent by knitting articles for the London branch of the Needlework Guild of which his mother, Queen Mary, is president. Someone has called the guild “the organization of the understanding heart,” because the members realize how something new bolsters the spirits of those who have been compelled to wear “hand-me-downs” and “madeovers” and who could not rebel as did a small miss of my acquaintance. As she was the youngest of three daughters, she always had worn her sisters’ clothes altered to the satisfaction of the family, but evidently not meeting her ideals. On her seventh birthday she issued her declaration of independence by demanding “A really, truly, all new dress.” Many little girls with a similar humiliation have found a fairy godmother in the local junior auxiliary of the Needlework Guild for the members with their own industrious hands make lovely children's dresses and beautiful baby clothes which are the pride of the yearly “roundup” and are appreciated especially by the Free Kindergarten, the Florence Crittenton home and other agencies that care for wee folk. The auxiliary is headed by Miss Elizabeth Berterman, assisted by Mrs. Peter C. Reilly, and is composed of sewing groups formed by Camp Fire Girls, Girl Scouts, Girl Reserves, Junior Catholic Girls of America, and by sewing classes at Technical high school and Tudor Hall. Boys also do their part in the

junior group by collecting money for a shoe fund. a tt a SINCE the roundup this year marks the fiftieth national and thirtieth local Guild anniversary, the Indianapolis branch hopes to surpass the splendid showing of 9,480 articles last year. The tiny booties, pretty dresses, stockings, underclothing and many other necessities made a heartwarming sight w'hen they were assembled for display, because they represented hours of patient work given to bring comfort and happiness to others. The gifts will be collected this year from Nov. 13 to 16, and will be exhibited to the public on Nov. 14 at the First Congregational church, 1516 North Delaware street. Four meetings have been planned for the first three days of this week to acquaint prospective members with Guild projects. All meetings will be held at 2:30 p. m. and the public is invited to any or all. The schedule is as follows: Today with Mrs. Peter C. Reilly, 3134 North Meridian street, speaker, Miss Elizabeth Clark, and at the Indianapolis Orphans Home, and with Mrs. J. Willard 801te,243 Downey avenue; speaker, Miss Bertha Leming of the public schools social service bureau. Tomorrow with Mrs. Ross A. Smith, 6001 Carrollton avenue; speaker, Mrs. Olive Edwards, Christamore House; Wednesday, with Mrs. David Kelsch, 1539 West New York street; speaker, Miss Glenn Hoover, city hospital social service worker. ALUMNAE TO FETE PROVINCE OFFICIAL Mrs. Phil N. Eskew, Bloomington, province vice-president of Pi Beta Phi sorority, will be a guest at a dinner meeting of the Indianapolis Alumnae Club at 6:30 Thursday at the home of Mrs. Calvin R. Hamilton, 5775 North New Jersey street. Miss Julia Harrison Moore will talk on “Mary, Queen of Scots.” Assistant hostesses will be Mesdames B. C. Lewis, Truman D. Hoover and S. O. Brewer.

Carnival Brand of Fun Never Will Fill Newly Created Leisure Time Helpful Recreation Bringing Mental, Physical and Social Development Should Follow Shorter Working Period. BY HELEN WELSHIMER THEY call it the business of pleasure, this new industry that is one of the major interests of life today. With the shortening of time required to do the world's work, with the shorter week now a definite realization. more hours are being released for the conscientious pursuit of recreation. Persons are working to find diversion. The barkers are calling their shows, the Ferris wheels are turning, the bands are playing. Thesvstemanc command has gone forth through the land: “Come, everybody, <•; s have fun!”

But such an announcement never brought anybody a good time and never will. Recreation means the restrengthening and vivifying of the spirits after toil. If it makes you sick to your stomach to ride an ambulating horse on a merry-go-round. climb down from your wooden steed. Work may be fun, and fun may be work. It is all in your point of view, Yet, looked at sanely, this release from drudgery is a glorious thing for women. The manner in which we spend our leisure determines the stature of our souls. Exercise and well-spent leisure will promote peace, poise and graciousness of living. ' Many medical men and psychologists believe that men escape the neurotic, intraspective attitudes which

often besiege women because men have learned to loose themselves impersonally in sports. Did you ever see a stadium of women go wild over a home run? n tt ana TJ omen Lock Interest in Sports How many women can you find to match the men who sit, dav after day, watching bicycles go around and around in a circle at the six-day races? Yet men love it. And only a man kiftnvs why! Or very very few women. Ever see two women stage a fistic battle in a public arena while thousands of feminine fans—and an occasional man lend soprano cheers? Oh, no, you haven't. And it is to be hoped that you never will. But in lesser degree the released time which will provide women with an opportunity to seek some healthful exercise is a splenchd thing. Not long ago. at the World’s fair in Chicago, the western women's billiard championship matches were played. The competitors delichted in the sport. After all. why shouldn’t they compete in this field as well as bring their jellies and their quilts to be presented for blue ribbons? Billiards appeal to them as a better form of recreation than boiling syrups and making piece-work patches. What is recreation and what is toil is strictly up to your private code. Free schools for the teaching of billiards are being opened throughout the middle Atlantic states, according to R. B. Bensinger, president of the company that supplies a great part of the recreational sports material for the playing world. Such classes will vie with those in which women learn to cook and sew. Yet each type of recreation has its purpose. * a „ tt tt Essential Recreation Wide in Variety A woman who is a physical Instructor might he bored to ennui if she had to chase a billiard ball around a table all evening, or keen her eyes on a basketball basket. But she may relax and have a good time creaming carrots and sewing hems. A housewife, on the other hand grows younger and gayer because of an amusing sport. A factory girl who pastes labels on tomato cans all day long mav find a blissful, though vicarious, heaven in a love story magazine. A woman who sits at a desk and types will know peace and loveliness in a long, long walk by a misty river. It doesn’t matter so much what we do with our leisure time so lon* as we choose the thing which satisfies the needs we feel and fulfills our desires. But to spend the time blowing tin horns and chasing confetti rainbows, as a steady diet, is consistently foolish. Occasionally, in a merrv moment, w'e may need such a release. Such gaiety can’t be listed on the calendar as part of the schedule. Leisure, to be used well, must be spent in such a way that it adds to our physical, mental and social development.

A Woman s Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

SINCE the time of Socrates and before, nagging women have been classed among man’s major plagues. No language contains quite enough words to express dislike of them and so habitual has our hatred become and so vast our prejudice we’ve entirely lost sight of the fact that they are and have always been a real asset to society. We might

explain it by saying they have a kind of toxic value, like serums we use to fend off other and more dreadful diseases. You won’t find one husband in a million ready to admit it, but wives are always right when it comes to family health lectures. Many a good ‘ citizen is preserved to his

country right now because the Mrs. nagged him to the doctor to have his blood pressure taken, his diet changed or his teeth X-rayed. Children have been saved from sudden death, injury and illness by persistent maternal warnings and habits of cleanliness and decency are rooted in the race largely by reason of women’s clacking tongues. It is not as a family blessing. I’ll admit, but as a social force that the nagging woman demonstrates her true worth, although she could not be the one without first having served an apprenticeship in the former capacity. The nagger is always a reformer at heart and no reforms, whether they be Insignificant or important, are managed without that persistence in endeavor and that concentration of purpose which distinguishes the nagging woman from her more agreeable sister. And she’s going good these days. Now that her sphere is no longer restricted to domestic fields, her voice may be heard above the clamor of continents and across the raging seas. She is busy all over the earth. You will find her on the trail of county commissioners, pestering municipal officers, haranguing senators and shaking her fist at statesmen. She lays old Xanthippe and her feebler efforts in the shade. But before you begin harping about her, wait and see what she’ll accomplish

with her bothersome, disputatious ways. The Pankhursts, Frances Willard Florence Nightingale, Joan d’Arc were essentially naggers. Margaret Sanger is a nagger for a cause and she nagged when all the world scoffed. To move men, to change society, to establish cultures, you’ve got to keep everlastingly at it. That’s nagging, but when practised by a sufficiently intelligent majority, it is also progress. MRS.
