Williams Brings Picture for Downtown Show to Be Held by Junior League Former President of Indiana Artists Club Picks ‘The Road to Stony Lonesome/ Brown County Canvas. BY BEATRICE BI'RGAN limn Woman • Pace Editor MISS EUNICE DISSETTE as hurrying to a committee meeting at Ayr***' auditorium. but she stopped in long enough to say, "Edgar Williams cam- in from Nashville today to bring his entry for the Junior League downtown exhibition of paintings by Indiana artists from Dec. 3 to I>c. 16.’* When we arrived at the auditorium. Mrs. Harare Hill 111, Miss Dtssette and Mrs. George Ziegler were exclaiming over the beauty of the picture which Mr Williams had unwrapped for them. The muted tones
and pastel colors of the landscape against a misty blue ••ky app-al-d to them. Trees hedged a winding road. “What do you call it?” Mrs. Hill asked. "The Road to Stony Lon-som-.” the artist answered, and in one breath we all cn*d, "How intriguing.” We were curious about artists’ inspirations for the names of their paintings. Mr. Williams explained that often a casual remark of an observer may suggest the name. “For instance, one of the Brown county natives remarked that the lane in this picture reminded him of the road to Stony Lonesome.” Mr. Williams said. “The road did iead to Stony Lonesome, and so it was named.” Mr. Williams' exhibit at the Chicago Gallery Association just closed, and he has received word that Ralph Cudney. famous collector of Chicago, had purchased one of his paintings.

During the last two years Mr. Williams had been president of the Indiana Artists Club, and now he is secretary and treasurer of the Brown County Gallery Association. “You know there ls no more glorious place to paint than in Brown county.” he remarked. “We are so welcomed by the natives; they permit
us to work any place on their property. and they know something about art. too. During the twentyfive years or more that artists have been going to *he county, the natives have developed an appreciation and critica' ability.” Eleven members of the Brown county association live in the locality while twenty-three of them live *in Chicago and in other cities in Illinois and Indiana. Mr. Williams has had his studio in Nashville for eight years. Paints “on Local ion'*’ He never paints indoors. “I paint every stroke ‘on location.’ even if I have only ten minutes. I go to the scene of my painting and study the picture.” he explained. “I never make sketches of the scene before I begin the actual painting. I think sketches are made more by city artists who go to the country In the summer, make sketches and then paint them in their studios later.” For four winters he has gone to northern Wisconsin to paint. Here, too. he paints “on location.” He carries Japanese handwarmers. little gadgets which bum charcoal, in the pockets of his sheepskin lined jacket, and warms his hands occasionally by thrusting them in the pockets. “Os course, one's enthusiasm accounts for some of the disregard of discomfort,” he said laughingly. In his pictures Mr. Williams is preserving the primitive rusticity of Brown county—its covered bridges, cabins and rail fences, which may in the course of time disappear with modernization. Baus Enters Show While we talked. Simon Baus came in with his entry, a portrait of his daughter Florence. He came from his studio in the Union Trust building, the same rooms which housed the John Herron art school while the present building was being erected. Soon we were discussing Mr. Bans' summers at Taos. N. M. a popular Indian painting center. For the last six summers he has gone to New Mexico and Arizona, and j|pj| Just Taste These Finer OATS The first spoonful will tell you that you’ve discovered oats at their l>est!

studied the life and customs of the Pueblo Indian, who in contrast to the roving Navajo tribes, settle in one locality. “The Indians because of their handwork are artistic; there is something majestic about them,” Mr. Baus said. “The younger generation is changing in its habits; only the older Indians keep their hair long. But even with their shorn hair the children still wear the red head bands.” Painted “De Lawd” Mr. Baus, member of the Irvington artists group and a director of the Indiana Artists Club, specializes in portrait painting. Richard B. Harrison, who plays the role of The Lawd in "The Green Pastures.” appearing here tonight and tomorrow', was one of his subjects. The portraits of former Governor Branch in the statehouse was painted bv Mr. Baus. He has painted Perry Newby, grand commander of the Knights Templar; Adrian Hammersley, secretary of the grand lodge of Knights Templar; Nettie Ransford, prominent Order of Eastern Star member, and numerous Masonic lodge leaders.

Manners and Mortals BY JANE JORDAN
Put your problems up to Jane Jordan uho will help you to a better understanding of your situation. Write your letter today! Dear Jane Jordan —I have gone with a fellow for several years w’ho says he is in love with me and wants to marry me. At first I didn't particularly care for him, but
feelings have changed, perhaps because he is so kind and considerate of my wishes. I am not goofy about him. I only felt that way about one person, but that is all over now'. He was married to a splendid w'oman and had a child. I don’t believe I will ever care as much for

any one else as for him. Is this crazy kind of affection the real thing, or can the head govern the heart with just as satisfying results? I have wondered and wondered. I do like by present boy friend very much and admire him for the many good qualities he possesses, but when he asks me if I will marry him some time. I really do not know. UNDECIDED. Answer: If there is one thing I fear more than another it is to aid a person in picking a partner. I do not have the slightest idea whether or not the young man in question is a proper mate for you. I can. however, honestly assure you that goofiness is not a sure sign of love. That goofy feeling which is so delightful is more of a hindrance than an aid in choosing a companion. It tends to blind the one w r ho feels it to the real qualities of the beloved, causing him to substitute imaginary ones instead. I suspect that goofiness is not indicative of the objective adult love of one independent individual for another, but of subjective and quite infantile satisfaction. When a girl becomes goofy about a married man, I suspect her of substi-

tuting him for the unobtainable father who belonged to another w'oman—her mother. This is not inevitably true, of course. But I do wonder if her hunger is not for a pleasurable, carefree existence w’ith one who will give her the spoiling and indulgence which her parents supplied. The emotionally mature woman looks for a man whose interests she shares, and w'hose qualities she admires. She has a right to expect the same respect for herself which she accords him. A good working agreement and mutual affection is a sounder basis for marriage than the goofy state of mind which looks upon marriage as a ticket into a romantic paradise. Dear Jane Jordan—For the last few r months I have been going with a chap six years younger than I am. We are together two or three times a week and I am extremely fond of him. During the last month I have met a man of 40. who is exceptionally interested in me. He is free, well fixed financially, and wants to marry

Congress to Hear from Miss Kirlin Indiana University Alumna Heads Activities of Voters’ League. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Timrs Suecial Writer WASHINGTON. Nov. 13. Because she was successful in persuading Indiana lawmakers to pass progressive social legislation. Miss Florence Kirlin has been made congressional secretary of the National League of Women Voters. In Indianapolis she made an outstanding record in putting across the league program. Miss Kirlin now is preparing to "buttonhole” members of the next congress in the interest of the league's national legislation. Among the major items listed for immediate action will be a bill putting all New Deal agencies, from Alpha to Omega, under civil service. She is not counting on any ardent backing by Postmaster-Gen-eral Farley for this measure. Effort also will be made by the league to repeal Section 213 of the national economy act. This section is designed to curb the practice of both husband and w T ife being employed by the government. “While that section doesn’t say so in so many words, it merely means that married women will be barred from government positions and will be the first ones fired when staffs are decreased,” Miss Kirlin said. "Such old fogey ideas have no place in American law. They are not in line with modern progress and absolutely unsound from the standpoint of economics.” Appropriations also are to be closely watched. They must be adequate for the office of education, children's bureau, women's bureau, bureau of home economics and the federal trade commission. PARTING GIFT MADE BY MRS, HOSKINS Asa parting gift to the Alpha Beta Latreian Club, which she served as president, Mrs. Douglas Hoskins provided the floral centerpiece for the club's guest day tea and program today. Mrs. Hoskins will leave soon to reside in Reading. Pa. Robert Hoover addressed the members and their guests on "Criminology” at the meeting w r ith Mrs. David L. Smith. 540 North Central court. Mrs. Dana Jones, Mrs. Wilbur Smith and Mrs. Noble Hilgenberg assisted tthe hostesses. Chrysanthemums shading from deep amber to light yellow, and yellow tapers in silver candlesticks appointed the tea table. Mrs. Hoskins and Mrs. Marvin Lugar, a past president, poured. • me. My sole interest is in the younger man, and my desire for his hapiness is paramount. I am sure you will advise me to give him up. WORRIED. Answer—lt is unfair to marry one man w’hen your interest lies in another. I do not think it is the younger man’s happiness w'hich troubles you so much the fact that you feel you ought to settle the love problem for yourself by marriage with a man able to assume responsibility. But if you can not love the man, of course you only jeopardize your future and his.

Perfume Made Expressly for Men Recalls Use of Cosmetics by Rome’s Nero' Scent Offered at Ayres Store, Produced by Caron, First Created in Many Years for Masculine Consumption. BY HELEN LINDSAY DON'T gasp with amazement when you see the new perfume "for men only” at the L. S. Ayres store toilet goods department. It's Caron's "pour un home," and according to Miss Quanna Crowder, while it is the first perfume to be created for men in many years, it had a precedent in the days of Nero. Miss Crowder explains that authorities on cosmetics and perfumes know Nero not only as the man who fiddled while Rome burned, but as a dandy of the nth degree. He was one of the first men to use cosmetics in any great amounts.
and his intimate history tells that he took two or three hours to prepare for a state flair. Someone has described the process in an interesting fashion, and Miss Crowder has relayed the story to the men who are a little reluctant about taking advantage of the new perfume designed for them. Nero arose—after his slaves had drown the water for his bath. This had been heated, a line of slaves each carrying an individual receptacle over his shoulder, pouring the water into the bath, and going back for more. The chief dresser, as the head body slave was called, meanwhile superintended the mixing of the hot and cold water to the right heat, after which he mixed in much costly spidenard, much of the costly balms, and stirred the whole into an inviting bath. After a leisurely swim in the bath, Nero’s body was
dried by body servants with large fans. Following this, his entire body was perfumed, and then his face was “made up.” The supposition is that Nero used "man-sized” cosmetics. For a bleach, he used white chalk, and common kohl was used on his eyelids and lashes. Then his teeth were whitened by scrubbing them with pumice, and his cheeks reddened with rouge. It is said that when his empress died. Nero used throughout the period of mourning more incense than all Arabia could produce in twenty years. A system of overhead pipes dropped incense on guests, and highly perfumed water was sent throughout the entire household of 300 rooms. a a a a a a Cosmetics Received in Large Quantities NERO'S wife followed her husband's example in the art of makeup. There always were on hand jars and jars of scented oils and unguents, red and white paint, the black powder called kohl, and a wooden bodkin for its application. In addition there was plenty of henna, which Nero's wife used on the palms of her hands and finger nails. She was surrounded by a brigade of slave girls On tables nearby the couch on which she reclined were boxes of paints and powders and scented oils. One girl applied facial make-up. and another girl worked on her toes. The finger nails were manicured by another of the servants and it frequentlv rook an hour to do her work. Os course, modern men and women who use cosmetics would find much fault with the make-up of the Roman emperor and his wife. The quantities of outside white which they used were much the same as the mixture used for house paints today. Small barrels of perfume were brought to the royal household, as well as tall alabaster and onyx containers filled with perfumes. The substance which the empress used like cold cream appeared in bales and boxes, and rouge never was delivered In less than half barrels. a a a tt tt a Training Offered in Household Work A TRAINING course for household employes, under the auspices of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, will begin at the Y. W. C. A. tomorrow. Classes will include work in all phases of food preparation; menu planning, serving and budgeting. Work in general housed keeping and cleaning, conversational English and special subjects such as laundry work, art in the home and care of children, will be given. Classes are scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of each week. They are open to unemployed workers in homes who felt that they need additional training, and to employed workers who need “brushing up.” After finishing the training, the pupils will be recommended to employment agencies. Classes will be in charge of Miss Dorothea Ross and Mrs. Lois Neuland Other classes, for unemployed clerical workers, were opened yesterday at the Y. W. C. A., under auspices of the FERA. This project, called an office practice institute, will center around practice in dictation, typing and general office work. In addition to the practice classes, lectures will be given on facts employes should know about the business world; facts concerning the community, and psychology which is intended to help the workers in meeting every day problems.
