as we looked at, the wreath of native California pine, garlanded with arrangements of tangerine, lemons, shellarked strawberries and many tvpe.s of fruit and nut pods. A tangerine, lemon and tiny red crabapple are clustered with several large magnolia leaves as a background against the pine. Bronze and silver paint has touched up pine rones, lotus flower leaves, pods and dates Berries from pepper trees add their bit of red. Leaves from eucalyptus trees, seeds from fruits and orange berries are entwined in the feathery pine. The fragrance of the wreath permeates the house, being decorated for the seasonal festivities. Pottery Provides Motif ‘ And why is tne wreath described Delia Robbia?” we inquired. “You remember the Della Robbia ware?” Mr Martindale asked. Whv, of rourse, the fruit garlands are characteristic of the Della Robbia pottcy," we recalled. Mrs. Martindale went on to explain. ‘ The wreaths are made in a convent at Chino. Cal. Della Robbia. the Florentine sculptor, also became famous for his terracotta bas-reliefs, coated in enamel. His sons after him carried on this medium, and the garlands of fruit characterized the ware.” Sons to Be Guests Mr. and Mrs. Martindale will be at home Christmas Day with their sons.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

IF you are in a tough spot and don’t know which way to turn, put your problem before Jane Jordan, who will help you figure it out. Dear Jane Jordan—l am 26 and have two children. My father has lived with us for about six years. The first three years we got cJong fine, but since then he has t m drinking and cornea trying to tell me ImPs&S** nusband, whom I is always going us, and it isn’t true. HWlfllilU* He doesn’t eve.i give us enough Jane Jordan to pay a reasonable board *rll. I have three sisters, all marriet. but he won’t even go to see them, although he tells me he thinks they are better than I am. I have told him to leave, then feel sorry for him ana he does not go. If I only knew of some way to get him to visit one of my sisters for a while and let me rest a little! They won’t let him drink, and they all have better homes than I have. I am the only one who would keep him at all. If he left I don’t know where he would go or what he would do, but I don’t think I can stand it much longer, as he is getting worse. My husband says, “He is your Dad —teil him yourself.” He says if he tells him to leave, all my people would blame him if anything ever happened to him. i He has a job and works every day. . Please tell me what to do. POOD. Answer —When old people act like children they must be treated as children and made to respect authority. This reversal of attitude is very difficult for children who have been dutiful all their lives. They feel a curious sense of guilt about disciplining refractory old people, but this only proves that they have not grown up themselves and still maintain an infantile attitude toward parents. A certain amount of regression to childish attitudes and habits is more or less common in the old ar ' causes a great deal of misery nr children who still feel a pi id need for the care and prc. .ion of parents themselves and tncrefore are poorly equipped to assume a:, intelligent, responsible attitude toward the old without the complete and useless sacrifice of self. Your father should be told in no uncertain terms that decent behavior is requisite if he is to live with you If he does not respect your reasonable and just edict, he must take the consequences and find another home. This demand is not too harsh at all. and you will be surprised how well he will behave as soon as he realizes that he must. four husband may be right that such orders should come from you. but it is his home as well as yours which is being invaded, and he should back you up firmly without regard for the criticism of others who calmly shift their responsibilities to him and reward

him by complaining that he doesn't do more. tt tt a Note—l am holding 14 letters for Ruth, the girl who believes that she has committed the unpardonable sin. Not one of them agrees with her conviction that she is to be cruelly punished in the hereatfer for her birthday. I would like Ruth to tell me where to send these letters, tw r o of which are j sealed. Or I will leave them where i she can calx for them without revealing her identity. The next | letter is for Ruth. Dear Ruth You foolish child, you w'ere sinned against, and really I think that relative of yours should | be punished with some of the dire ! punishments you have imagined for : yourself. You must get your mind | out of such deep despair, and let your experience make you into a more understanding woman. No | need to burden your family or a possible husband with your own mistakes. Confession is a weakness, not a virtue. And don't confess to a woman church worker. Unfortunately they can’t bo broad-minded, but will assume the holier-than-thou attitude. Go to a man minister.

ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS. Answer —I believe this to be excellent advice. I notice that one or two of the letters to Ruth advise confession to the wife of the man who seduced her. This I am convinced would be a fatal mistake. Why saddle the woman with the whole painful affair and hopelessly upset her existence simply for the pleasure of unburdening one’s self? I agree that such a confession is a mere selfish gesture. I also agree that all confessions should be made to people equipped to hear them and view them in an,objective manner. Will those who meant to write Ruth, but who have not done so yet, please hurry up with their letters?

Lincoln’s Tuscany Room Typifies What City Folk Like in Place to Relax Informal, Intimate Atmosphere Created for Newly Decorated Rendezvous Will Attract New Year’s Eve Celebrants. BY HELEN LINDSAY WHEN the first New Year’s eve party after repeal was celebrated last vear. managers of Indianapolis hotels learned that celebrants desired intimate, informal settings for their gayety. Such an atmosphere will be found this New Year's Eve in the Tuscany room at the Lincoln, redecorated dining room of the hotel, which was re-opened Thanksgiving Day. The room is a colorful spot which has been welcomed by Indianapolis shoppers as a place to dine after a busy day, with anew schedule of prices which eliminates the old-time fear of high-priced hotel dining

rooms. Either table d'hote or ala carte meals are served in a cheerful setting which encourages relaxation and ease. The walls have been redecorated in a warm burgundy shade, with a pale green ceiling and pale green Venetian blinds at the windows. Tables have been refinished with a dull shade of green, each bearing an individual stenciled design. The chairs are antique-finished of the arm type, in dull-finish green, the broad arms showing the characteristic worm-holes of antiques. Peasant covers of coarse linen, with fringed edges and black and red striped borders, with napkins to match, are used on the tables, the colors blending well with those shown in large Italian urns which are placed at intervals around the room. The room adjoins the taproom, and one section is

set aside each afternoon to take care of the overflow crowd from the taproom. At this time, covers are removed from the tables, and dull red glass coasters are used to hold cocktail glasses. In addition to the regular late afternoon cocktail hour, the hotel offers a reduction of cocktail prices after dinner. For the New Year's eve celebration, tables will be removed from rntions of the room, to make room for dancing to music by a four-piece orchestra. Dancing will be from 10 to 2. tt tt tt tt tt tt Magazine Publishes Wedding Pictures DETAILS of the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, in illustrations and special articles, are included in the Christmas number of the Illustrated London News, which is among the Christmas publications offered at the Indiana Theater Magazine and News Stand this week. With each copy of the magazine, copies of paintings of the royal bride and bridegroom by De Laszlo are included. Included in the magazine are illustrations of the wedding guests and the families of the royal couple. Family album portraits of the Princess Marina in childhood and girlhood are shown, in addition to a reproduction of the fabric of the wedding gown, in silver and white. Pictures of the gifts received by the couple are shown, and description of the Greek orthodox wedding, with the symbolism of the ceremony explained, are in the magazine. In addition to this publication, the si and Is showing an exclusive collection of other foreign Christmas publications. Julstamning is a Swedish Christmas publication, containing pictures ready for framing. Juleroser is a Danish Christmas magazine, and Julehelg is the Norwegian Christmas publication. The shop is remaining open until midnight to accommodate Christmas shoppers. tt tt tt tt a tt Silver and Blue Becomes Christmas Hues THE Christmas decorations in Indianapolis homes this year will show the trend to silver and blue which have been accepted as new Christmas colors. The newest idea in Christmas trees is seen in evergreens at Wiegand's which have been painted white. These are effective when decorated only with blue lights. tt a tt tt tt tt Candlcwick Design Makes New Fashion EVENING wraps this year show a new’ fabric in candlewicking design. Shown previously for sports and daytime wear, the fabric is seen now in the evening jackets for resort wear over linens, silks and cottons. The new- material is seen in cottons in w-hich chenille threads have been drawn to produce a candlewick effect, the designs taking definite forms. These designs either are very modern or entirely conventional.
