BY BEATRICE BURGAS • Timti Uoman't Pact Editor AS members of the Junior League of Indianapolis greeted guests yesterday at a tea, which opened its third downtown exhibition of paintings by Indiana artists at Ayres auditorium, they accepted congratulations of artists and patrons with gratification. When the project was started two years ago. members of the arts and interests committee hoped the eVfent might become an annual activity. Its aijibition has been realised—even beyond expectations, for each year the number of entries has Increased. The exhibition :s unique in the city, because the artists can

show, what in their opinion, is their best current work without the restrictions oi jury selection or entrance fi e. Mrs Noble Dean is the only league member represented in the exhibit. She attended the tea and accepted her friends' words of praise for a portrait. Her black satin tunic was dotted in gold and over an arm she earned a silver fox scarf. Mrs. Robert Adams and Mrs. Charles Latham arranged the tea and their choice of a centerpiece was appropriate for the holiday season. The New England pine branches were ladened with natural red cones; bits of stevia, juniper, bayberry and boxwood were interspersed in the plateau of pine. Mrs. Adams’ blue blouse gleamed with stripes of silver. The sleeves were full to the tight cuffs, and large gold buttons fastened the blouse in front.

Manners and Mortals BY JANE JORDAN

Jane Jordan is a local woman engaged by The Times to help you with your emotional problems. Take advantage of this service and write your letter now! Dear Jane Jordan—l am writing for a friend who needs advice very badly. He has been going steady with a girl for about three years, but has been wanting to quit for a year. He has talked

to her about it, but she says she doesn't want to quit and won’t. When he wasn't working she paid his way places, and I imagine they have been intimate. She says she will kill herself if he ever quits going with her. He has been trying to repay her for wrong done. Heaven

knows he has done enough for her now to right the wrong and more, too. He says he won’t quit unless they quit even. If he v ouiri just quit going to see her she would would say unfair things about him. She has a terrible disposition and is raining the best yeras of his life. How can he quite in an even way or how can he make her see they are even? B. B. L. Answer—That is his problem, and neither you nor I can tell him how to make a graceful exit without a painful sense of guilt. It always is tragic when one of a pair falls out of love before the other. Many a man has been led by his chivalrous impulses to marry the girl whom he ought to love but can’t. In the long run it is not kindness to any woman to marry her without loving her. It may save her pride for the moment, but it condemns her to a life of starvation, for love can not be forced, and no man is rble to act a part all his life without a crackup. Most people in such a situation find that it requires less courage to let the cat die gradually than to make a sudden, sharp break. The slow method of ending a love affair is equivalent to cutting off the dog’s tail an inch at a time. Your young man will have to work the problem out in his own way by means satisfactory to himself. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—l am in my late twenties, married and have a child of 3. We have lived with my mother for the last six months, S since my father died. She owns her home except for a small amount and it won't be long before she won't have any money of her own at all. My brother married a year ago and never offered to move in with her, or asked her to come and stay at his house because he didn’t want her to sleep on his new davenport. But anything my brother and his wife do is perfectly all right with mother. My mother can find so many litle faults in my husband. She thinks of him as a child. Sometimes she speaks to him and again she doesn't. We pay all of the expenses, yet she isn’t satisfied. Wp will have to pay the taxes within the next year. My husband feels if we keep the home up and pay taxes, it

should be put in our name, but it doesn’t really matter to me. My brother never has offered to give her anything. Whenever we have a little argument, she has to get in to say her piece. She tells the baby to do this or that when his father or I have told him to do something else. I try to please her and I try to please my husband but I can’t make it. She didn’t like my first husband. She never liked any one I went with. She didn’t want me to marry either time. If %u can suggest something I would be very grateful. MRS. A. Answer —Os course you made a mistake in moving in with your mother in the first place. Wouldn’t it be better to rent the house and supplement the income by cash amounts to be divided between yourself and your brother? Perhaps this would call for more financial sacrifice, but it would repay you in peace and harmony. After your mother got used to the idea, I imagine she would be happier in a room of her own than in a bickering household. It would be cruel and unnecessary to ignore her entirely, but you should find a way to keep her outside your own home for the good of everybody. Probably she never will be entirely satisfied in any situation. It narrows down to a choice between evils.

Contract Bridge

Today’s Contract Problem The bidding is South one heart; North two diamonds; South two no trump; North four hearts. East and West do not enter the bidding.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem. by W- E.

with an original forcing bid, so his original bid of one spade is proper. West, of course, is justified in overcalling with two diamonds and after North's raise of the spade suite, showing trump support and two probable in-cards. South has a lot of tickets mow and wants to play for a slam. How can he tell partner about his hand? He doesn’t want to bid a three-card suit, so here's where he uses the cue bid as his servant.

He bids three diamonds, which ordinarily says, “Partner I can win the first diamond trick.” It is doubtful if West would open the diamond, but certainly not after :;he cue bid. a a a WEST opened the queen of clubs, which declarer won with the ace. The king and then a small trump were played, the second trump being won in dummy with the -ace, West dropped a high diamond. The nine of hearts was returned and won with the ace, the king of hearts was played and a diamond discarded from dummy. Then a small heart was ruffed in dummy with the ten of spades. It looked as though the declarer still had to lose a diamond and a club. But, at this point, he led the jack of diamonds from dummy and West won with the ace. West was helpless—anything he led would be ruffed in dummy with the jack of spades and a club discarded by South. Many players would make the mistake of trying for the club suit break. Even if the clubs do break, this is the safe way to play the hand. No harm done. Os course, West's opening lead of the queen of clubs might not have been a singleton; it might have been three to the queen-jack. But, even so, the way the declarer played the hand, he had the end play. (Copyright. 1934. NEA Service, Inc.)

Escalators and Novel Window Display Attract Ayres’ Store Shoppers New Devices Relieve Congestion of Elevators as Holiday Buying Begins; Miniature of Amusement Park Shown. BY HELEN LINDSAY IF you lose your Christmas shopping partner in the downtown rush these days, there are two places where you most likely will find her. One will be in front of the unusual display in L. S. Ayres & Cos. window, where a miniature amusement park is in operation, and the other will be on the new escalators, which opened to the public Saturday, and which are causing amusement and comment among the crowds of holiday shoppers. The miniature amusement park, constructed of beaver board and wood, is the work of John Patton. 4337 Carrollton-av, formerly a window trimmer at Ayres. The entire piece of mechanism was designed and

worked out by Mr. Patton, who has made a similar one which is being displayed in the window of a Ft. Wayne department store. The little park shows all of the details of a real park. Tiny figures, with funny round wooden heads, stand before the little ticket office, obviously deciding whether to buy tickets for the exciting ride on the thriller or the whip, both of which devices are in operation, with occupants of the tiny cars whizzing about in realistic speed. The merry-go-round is turning gayly, and small figures are seated on the tiny horses, which go up and down in the same fashion as those seen in real amusement parks. There are tiny bazars, where pottery’ and other objects are displayed. The entire display is creating much entertainment

for Indianapolis citizens. Certain business men pay daily visits to the window during their lunch hours, to watch the movement of the small figures. The escalators which began operations Saturday are eliminating congestion in the elevators going up to the fourth floor of the store. On Saturday the escalators provided amusement for school children who were downtown with their parents, and in addition were giving the first experience of escalator rides to countless adults. Other escalators, to operate on the downward trips, are soon to be completed. n n n a a a Christmas Decorations Cover Entire Store THE entire Ayres store has been decorated for the Christmas season. the first floor shows festoons of Christmas evergreens, with poinsettia lights throughout, while the downstairs store has been decorated in similar fashion with modernistic lights, in poinsettia form, illuminating the aisles. Christmas wreaths are hung around the pillars and walls in the downstairs store, where special tables have been arranged for groupings of Christmas gift suggestions. In each of the Meridian-st windows, there are tiny box-like s;‘ages, made in the decoration department of the store, depicting the scens of the old classic poem, “The Night Before Christmas.” Each has on the outside a verse from the poem which has been illustrated with tiny figures within the box. One shows Santa and his reindeer on the snow-covered roof; another, the jolly old fellow in front of the fireplace, unloading his store of Christmas cheer, and others show the various scenes which have been recited in this poem for many years to children. As has been customary with the Ayres store for several years, one elevator in the annex has been given over to visitors to the Ayres toy de# partment. nun nun Old English Motif Employed r T' HE spirit of the old English Christmas of Dickens’ time has been expressed in the carv. 1 wooden decoration on the. front of the L. Strauss store. The old English men are shown, in larger-than-life size, seated at a table, drinking from tall festive-looking ale mugs. The figures are the work of Arthur G. White, of the White Art Studios. 755 Century bui’ding. Mr. White has made a number of life-size figures for Strauss for window and store decorations previously, and has designed a number of individual Christmas cards.

MUSIC SCHOOL TO PRESENT RECITAL Initial performance of the Bur-roughs-Jackson School of Music will be held Sunday night, Dec. 9, at the Marott with Mrs. Jane Johnson Burroughs, director, and Mina Kanaga Ireland, accompanist. The choir includes Clare Mehrlich. Marjorie Payne Breeden, Ruth
