Spare Time
Is Problem for Jobless Prince Mdivani Advised to ‘Grow Ginseng’ When Polo Palls. BY EVELYN SEELEY Ttmr Special Writer YORK. Dec. 14.— 50 Prince Mdivani has a leisure problem, too. along with all the American husbands recently afflicted with the five-day week ar.d the fourteen million husbands granted in the last few years the leisure of the sevenday unemployed! ‘ Well, a man has to do something!’* said Princess Barbara Hutton Mdivani, when a reporter, prying into the reported marital break, suggested perhaps the prince was overdoing polo. The poor prince! Perhaps we could help him. There is a little book on "How to Spend Our Husbands' Leisure,” published by the Leisure League of America, which might prove useful to the princess. It begins with a note of sympathy for the bewildered wife of the idle husband. It says: "Even granted that you are supreme in your little kingdom . . . you do not know what to do with him fyour husband). . . . You can not shove him into a closet like a stepladder until you need him. You can not treat him like a porter that you don't have to tip and that you can cuss without being haled Into the police court for it.” Problem Solved. To find out what the prince could do with his time besides play polo her highness has only to turn to the key answerihg these questions: <1) Does he (your husband) enjoy the limelight? (2) Is he the helpful kind? (3) Ls he practical—good at mending, building? 4 Is he energetic? (5) Is he art.stic? Suppose the prince fits best into No. 1 and No. 5. The answer then suggests he should make a study of eating as a fine art, should go to the theater, collect rare books, take up card tricks, furnish a room for himself In the modernistic style, turn himself loose on a rock garden. But there are many other things he can do, depending on the facets of his character. Solitaire is sug- j gested. a frog pool, the study of X- , rays, the production of ginseng. Ginseng growing is declared exce-.ent as a defense mechanism. It takes five years. Asked what he is doing, the prince they would only have to say, "I am growing ginseng.” Raccoons Suggested The love life of tropical fish, chicken raising, making cheeses, learning to do rope tricks, raising six-foot beans, Japanese art, Staffordshire pottery', letter writing—how about those? "Or he can keep a horse—he can ride it, race it or j hitch it to the sleigh.” Investing in a peacock or a rac- j coon is strongly urged for leisure- 5 stricken husbands. If there is no! garden for the peacock to beautify: he can make a garden. And a rac- : coon is a fine thing to awaken a man’s better nature. The prize idea of all is that the leisured man start a restaurant—for the birds and squirrels! This little book, so cleverly written, was not aimed at the prince, it is true. It considers, according to the preface, the husbands “deprived of fourteen million jobs.” And in that case its flippancy, thus flung in the faces of fourteen million defeated men, is cruelty. The irony of suggesting peacocks, gardens, rac-! coons, horses and even the raising ! of fine cattle, to the man without a Job. is scarcely amusing. Yet, after all, if a husband “has to have something to do" when polo begins to pall, why not a little ginseng growing, or raccoon or peacock raising, or the management of a restaurant for birds and squirrels?

BEGIN HEBE TODAY Ann' Hollister, pretty and 20, breaks her engagement to Tony Mickle, commercial artist, because of his drinking and general Irresponsibility. The same day Peter Kendall 11. wealthy and prominent, learns how Valeria Bennett hts fiancee, has deceived him. and tells her everything is over between them. Ann and Peter, both heart-sick and disillusioned, i meet in a restaurant. When Peter asks her to marry him. Ann agrees. They are m*vied that night and set out for Florida They spend several weeks there happily until Peter is called home again because of business. All of the Kendall family except Peter’s sister, Mtllicent, snub Ann. Mtllicent decides to give a dance to Introduce Ann to society. Ann learns that Valeria will be among the guests. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER NINETEEN ANN said, “Yes, Valeria’s invited. She heard about the party and told Millicent she hoped she wouldn’t be excluded. Valeria said she wanted to be friends. Millicent thought there was nothing to do but ask her.” “So that’s it!” Sarah breathed. “She can fight better close to you, and with less danger of discovery. Ann, dear, can’t you see what’s before your very nose?” “I certainly can. Which reminds me it needs powdering.” Ann turned toward the bedroom and Sarah followed. When the door was closed Ann handed Sarah the package she had been holding. Sarah untied the tissue wrappings and lifted out one exquisite undergarment after another. When she came to the beautiful ivory satin negligee tears gathered in her eyes. “Ann, I can’t bear it. Getting all these lovely things for my trousseau when you’ve been so unhappy—” “No, I wasn’t unhappy—that is, not terribly unhappy, Sarah. Peter has been wonderful. It’s just that I feel I’m living in a sort of dream. Os course,” her voice broke, “I had planned everything differently.” Sarah said, meeting Ann’s eyes in the mirror, “you might as well tell all, darling. You won’t be seeing me every day now.” “Peter’s, wonderful, Sarah. The best friend I ever had.” “Friend? Who wants a friendly husband?” “He took a huge apartment and has ‘servants all over the place. Sometimes I think I would be a lot happier if I had work to and Peter.” .* * Lonely, thought Sarah. She’s terribly lonely. That’s bad—for Peter. Aloud, she said, “I hope you’ll keep your eyes open I bet Valeria Bennett will. And I have an idea the family would rather have her, with all her meanness, than a rank interloper Your ancestors may have come over in the Mayflower, Ann, but it wouldn’t make any difference to the Kendalls unless theirs were on the same boat. I wish old Peter was on your side. He would be a whole regiment for you. “He’s refused to see me. There’s nothing I can do.” “There is another fide to Mrs. Kendall's atitude,” Sarah said. “Peter is the only one w’ isn’t her child. I suppose you kn that. Peter was only three when she married his father. Millicent was h rn within two years and several jears later the twins came—Carol and Don.” * a a “Yes. I know,” Ann said. “Peter told me the family history. He seems very fond of them, particularly Carol.” "Hm. I can't say I admire Peter’s taste. Everybody thinks she’s an awful s;.c*\”
■ “Peter thinks she is misunderstood, and kicking against the traces makes her seem arrogant and hard. He says she's really the finest of them all when you know her well.” "When’s the party?” “Thursday night. You and Mac must be sure to come.” “Mac in full dress!” Sarah smiled. ‘l’ll threaten him with that.” “But you will come?” “I won’t promise. Send me one of those swanky invitations though. I want to frame it. Imagine being invited to a party given by a Kendall! You never can tell what will happen in this world.” Ann laughed. “I feel the same way,” she confessed. “I wake up sometimes at night and turn on the light and look at the magnificence. I want to pinch myself to see if it’s true.” u n u SARAH told Mac, when they were alone together, that she felt in her bones something would happen at Millcent’s dance. “And I’m betting on Ann.” she said. “She’s clever and spirited. She’ll give the Kendalls a run for their money and outwit Valeria Bennett, too.” “Thai, is.” Sarah said slowly, “if Ann puts her heart in the fight—” She had just remembered that Ann had not mentioned Tony. It wasn’t a good sign. As for Tony—if he started making trouble for Ann, Sarah told herself, she’d shoot him. The child had troubles enough without Tony stepping in and complicating things further. Ann was reading the note that had come .In the morning mail. .Tony’s note. The maid had brought the mail to the breakfast room, handing the tray to Peter. He had gathered Ann’s mail, mostly invitations, into a stack and handed it to her—not missing the one envelope addressed in a masculine hand. Ann’s heart missed a beat as she opened Tony’s note. “Belated con- ! gratulations,” she said, adding bravely, "from Tony.” She did not hand the letter to Peter and he did not ask to see it. ! It read: “No late suppers, no early morning rides in old cars and taxicabs, no nothing. I can’t say I congratulate you, Ann, but you deserve it for being so damned jealous. When you’re fed up, give me a ring. I’ll be waiting. Tony,” Ann opened another envelope. Out fell a clipping, with one paragraph boldly red-penciled: “Wonder if a certain man-about-town’s hasty marriage was the result of a fit of pique, and if the redhead with whom he ankled down the aisle will be able to disprove the old saying that gentlemen prefer blonds ... we wonder.” Ann's face was sober. Peter askel, “Mind if I see that, Ann?” He read the clipping, his face white. “When I get my hands on the man who wrote this—what a dirtj trick!” His eyes were blazing. Ann broke in breathlessly, “Oh, Peter, you wouldn't. Nobodv pays any attention to ‘High-Life.’” . “But everybody reads it,” Peter said grimly. •Peter, I couldn’t bear it if you i did anything about it. * Everybody j would be talking then.” "Guess you’re right.” Peter said. He crumpled the clipping in his hand. “Sure you won't let it upj set you?” “I won't give it another thought," ! Ann said. “Unless you need your car, why don't you let Evans drive t you down? I’ll pick you up this afternoon.” “I thought you’d be busy getting ready for the party. Buying a dress—” “It’s bought and waiting.” a a a PETER was standing by her chair, smiling down at her. Ann. in her simply tailored brown jersey i with the starched white collar and cuffs, made a pretty picture. She never appeared at breakfast in negligees, but was always dressed ! in some simple, attractive morning frock like this. Once when he had remonstrated with her, Ann had said. “You always dress for breakfast. Why shouldn’t I?” “It’s different with me,” he said. "I’m on my way to work.” Yet, he realised he liked seeing Ann dressed for breakfast, fresh as a rose, her bronze hair tucked j in a small soft knot at the back of her head. “Well, I’m off." he said. “I won’t take the car. You’re spoiling me, ; Ann.” On the way to the office he thought about the way Ann had pretended to ignore the covert thrust in the scandal sheet. He’d j stake his life that she was the, squarest, fairest—he caught him- j self up. No use in putting Ann on j a pedestal. She was playing the game square- >

Alpha Chi Omega Sponsors Eleventh Annual Concert
Eleventh annual municipal concert sponsored by Alpha Chi Omega Sorority will be held at noon tomorrow at Christ Church. Mrs. James M. Ogden is director of the concert, with Mrs. Dorothy Lambert Otto, general chairman. “Gesu Bambino” by Pietro Yon and “Cradle Song” by Johannes Brahms will be presented as organ solos and Mrs. Jessie Jenkins Fix ly, of course. She had been wonderful on the trip. It had been memorable in many ways. Getting up early, with the mist still thick on the lake. Swimming with her those last warm days before they left. He had never seen any one as thrilled over things. Ann was just a kid. A darned sweet kid. It occurred to him that the note Ann had received was perhaps more disturbing to her than the clipping. His mouth set in grim lines at the thought. And then he almost laughed at the sheer absurdity of his feeling. He had married Ann because they were both at a high emotional pitch that night, and because both of them were hoping to forget. Forgetting this chap was Ann’s business, just as forgetting Valeria was his. Was he forgetting her? Peter honeastly didn’t know. (To Be Continued) ,

Three Form Nominating Committee
Nursing Association Group Chairmanship Held by Mrs. Torian. Mrs. O. N. Torian will act as chairman of the nominating committee for the Public Health Nursing Association, assisted by Miss Julia Harrison Moore and Mrs. O. N. Ebert. Announcement was made by Mrs. F. R. Kautz, president, following a monthly board meeting yesterday at the headquarters. Mrs. E. Vernon Hann reported arrangements for the annual meeting to be held at noon Jan. 10, and Mrs. Benjamin Hitz, chairman of the business bureau, reported the receipt of another “anniversary day” which endows in perpetuity the services of one nurse for one day in the year. , Announcement is made of the appointment of Miss Opal Bundy, to the position of industrial nurse by Kingan & Cos. Miss Bundy had a year’s course in public health nursing at Teachers College, Columbia University. Miss Reba Beale, graduate of the Indiana University School of Nursing, who has been serving as a substitute, has been promoted to a regular position on the staff. Miss Mary L. Canary has been granted an Abbie Hunt Bryce scholarship by the board and will leave early in January to enter the University of Minnesota. Mrs. Ruby Rogers Timmerman, educational supervisor, discussed the “Introduction to Public Health Nursing” given to senior student nurse affiliates. Last year 84 student nurses took the work which has as its main objectives giving student nurses a more comprehensive knowledge, a better perspective and a deeper understanding of all the factors involved in health and illness. The service report showed that nurses cared for 400 more persons than in the corresponding month a year ago. The increase largely was in the group classified as acutely sick. Two hundred and eighty-five visits were made to give care and instruct families to care for patients suffering from placarded diseases and a total of 6122 visits were madejduring the month. IMPORTANT ROLE PLAYED BY BELTS Belts are one of the most important items in the feminine costume this season. Os course, plain leather belts in doeskin, patent leather, box calf or the same material as the dress, with a fancy buckle of plastic composition or metal, are still in favor, but there is a tendency to make the whole belt in a contrasting and fancy material. Sometimes it is in cut-out patent leather showing a lining in dull doeskin underneath, sometimes it is entirely composed of dull or bright square sequins. There are also models composed of bands of slit cellulose film. Schiaparelli uses whole belts in transparent plastic material, and Alix has a very original model in stamped pewter which adds to the charm of a medieval looking dinner dress. Penny supper, entertainment and bazar will be held by the Woman’s Auxiliary to Southport Presbyterian Church tomorrow night. Supper will be served at 5.
NEWER TRIMMINGS AWAITED FOR HATS Hat trimmings have not said their last word and all the new millinery collections are reserving a very important place for them. There is a supple black felt toque, the front part of which is turned down as a brim ani gathered in a draped effect against the crown.
