songs to Be f. cered by . Barnes \ Series of Entertainments at Civic Theater to Continue Sunday. BY BEATRICE BI'RGAN Ttmr Homan'i F tt Editor THEATER members will have the opportunity to enjoy a program departing from the theater's usual dramatic ventures, on Sunday night when Mrs. Earl Barnes will sing a group of numbers, replete with variations in theme and tempo. Mrs Barnes' concert will be

the second in a series of light Sunday night entertainments which Frederick Burleigh, director, will present this season. One of the most enjoyable characteristics of Mrs Barnes’ singing is her spo nt aneous mood. She obviously is enjoying herself as she sirsongs’ stories to her audience. She in-

vites her listeners to follow her through the songs’ adventures. Mrs. Barnes dislikes being considered a professional singer "You see. my musical study has been ' 11 in fun I wanted a hobby that would require hard work, and to keep ones voice in trim certainly requires hours of practice r.nd study,” she explained when we called to ask for her program. Mrs. Barnes has sung publicly here only twice this season but she will appear for the second year on the June program of the Propylaeum Club. In September she gave a concert in Lebanon and in October 1 went to Martinsville to sing before she went to New York to study | further with Paul Reimers. During ! November she devoted her time to! intensive training with her teacher. Teacher Known Here Mr. Reimers. a teacher at the j Juilliard School, is familiar to mem- j bers of the Maennerchor. for he has entertained them on several occasions at concerts. When Mrs. Barnes sings this week-end, she will be accompanied by Louise Mason Caldwell. Her first roup of German songs will include both modern and old songs: “Der Jungling An Der Quelle,” by Shubert; “Morgen.” bv Strauss: “Die Allee.” by Trunk; "Audi Kleine Dinge,” by Wolf, and "Standchen,” by Strauss. “De Puis Le Jour.” is a song from the opera, "Louise.” by Charpentier. “Jardin d'Amour” will be recalled as the acompaniment for the minuet in the opera. "Peter Ibbetson,’’ by Keel. In this group also will be “Le Temps Des Lilas,” by! Chausson; "Psyche,” by Paladilhe. and "Siboney,” by Lecouna. Dvorak Song Included “Songs My Mother Taught Me,” by Dvorak, are Hungarian, long popular with audiences. Mrs. Barnes' other English ongs will be “The Little Shepherd's Song," by Watts; “By the Bend of the River.” by Edwards, and "The Fairy Pipers,” ' y Brewer. Mr. Burleigh will vary the nature of the Sunday night entertainments, all to be cultural .projects unlike the theater's usual productions. Only members may attend the concerts because of the limit of the theater seating capacity, Mr. Bi’deigh explains.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Ann Hollister t-reaics her engacement to Tonv Mickle *ne same day that Peter Kendall II tells Valeria Bennett, his fincee. that everything is over between them Ann thinks she still loves Tony and Peter believes he still cares for Valeria but when chance brings the two together and Peter asks Ann to marry him she agrees. They go to Florida and are hanpv there. Then Peter is recalled home. His family snubs Ann and Valeria tries to make trouble between Ann and Peter She succeeds finally and Ann goes away, leaving no trace of her whereabtus. Peter, desperately in love with her. grows lonelier as the weeks pass. His efiorts to locate Ann are fruitless. She has found work as governess in the home of Mrs. Tracy, an artist. Allan Vincent. Mrs. Tracy's brother, is attentive to Ann. Valeria, scheming to win Peter back, persuades hint to hire Allan Vincent to decorate the home he bought for Ann. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN ANN and the children had received an invitation: “Youre invited today to a studio tea; It’s for Sonny and Sissy, you and me. There’ll be cakes for the kiddies, candy, too; \nd a special program, arranged for you. When tea is over, the youngsters can play. While you and I talk to the end of the day.” It was signed “Alkn.” Ann replied: “Were happy to coire to your studio tea; Sonny and Sissy and naturally me. We ll dress in our fnest and come promptly at three; It’s the first time we’ve been to a studio tea.” Ann had had glimpses of Allan Vicent’s sanctum many times during the two months she had been in the Tracy home, but she had never crossed its threshold. The walls were panelled in polished oak and the ceiling beamed in heavy timbers in the natural color, highly waxed. The windows were draped in pumpkin-colored linen, striped in red. There were deep, cozy chairs and a divan, the upholstery carrying out the orange and red color schemes. In one corner artist's paraphernalia was assembled easels, paint brushes, sketching pads. One easel held a painting of a beautiful home. Ann stood before it, lost in admiration. On another easel was the picture of a terrace and a flight of irregular stone steps leading to a garden. A rambling, flagged pathway ran away from the garden down the slope to be lost on a wooded hillside. •'Like it. Ann?” Ann said. “It's the house I've always wanted.” “You know the Brent place then?" “No. I only meant it's exactly the sort of home I've dreamed of owning some day.” 0 0 0 YOU haven’t seen anything yet,” Allan said. “It’s one of the cleverest houses I've seen. There are about 15 acres of ground. The house has 12 large rooms and three baths. There are informal pools, a rainbow garden and great, sheltering trees.” "Wonderful.” Ann said. “And you've painted it beautifully.” “Painting houses.” Allan said bitterly, “when I wanted to do portraits and landscapes.’ “■What difference does it make, so long as you're creating something beautiful?” "I wish I could feel that way about it.” The luncheon ended with ice cream and cake and two completely satisfied children sprawled on *the floor, working on a jigsaw puzzle. Occasionally they interrupted the conversation between Allan and Ann to ask aid in identifying a bit of color that might be part of a horse's head or might be his nose. Mrs. Tracy rushed in at four.

“I’m off for the rest of the afternoon. A showing of Ralph Baylor’s pictures at the Seville. Aren’t you coming later, Allan?” “Not I!” He threw his head back against the cushioned chair, smiling through amused, half-closed eyes. “I’m much too comfortable where I am. Besides I like my own pictures best.” He motioned, a little contemptuously, toward the easels. “A charming place but it seems ill-fated, doesn't it?” Mrs. Tracy said absently. “I won’t be home for dinner, Ann. Let Sarah give the kids supper early and put them to bed. You and Allan might dine out somewhere and take in a show. He’s developing into a regular hermit and I don’t believe you have been any place since you came.” Ann colored. “I love staying here,” she said. When his sister had gone Allan

turned to Ann. “Like to see a show tonight?” he asked. “No, thank you, Allan.” “I wish I knew what it’s all about, Ann.” His hand covered hers for a moment. She moved away and said nothing. “You must tell me.” 000 A NN shook her head. “Anyway, I would rather be here with you than anywhere else with some other girl.” Ann said hastily, “Why don’t you take in a show? You. must know loads of attractive people.” “I won't be led from my original plan to spend the entire day with you.” His artist’s eyes roamed boldly, approvingly over Ann, from her bright hair, coiled demurely in a small, soft knot, to her slim black pumps. Her dress was a simple frock of golden brown, one of the dresses remaining from the days before her marriage. It was becoming and molded her slender figure in lovely lines. “Some day I'll do a picture of her,” Allan was thinking. “I'll put her long lashes and that straight little nose on canvas. I swear I will. Her eyes will look different then. Happier!” “Wouldn't you like to drive out

and see this home?” he suggested. “I’d like to show you the inside.” “I’d love to go—if—let’s take the children.” “Why not? Let them get good and grubby poking about in the garden. I’ll get the car.” “I shall e cpect you to trot out all your adjectives when you see the place,” he said. Ann was moved by the beauty of what he called the Brent place. The glimpses of blue river and the hills beyond. The place was really a picture. “And now for the inside.” “Perfect,” Ann said a few minutes later. “Adjective No. 1. Quite expressive.” Allan smiled. “I’ve been given free rein in this house, but already there’s a woman tryir.., to boss the job.” “I don’t see why she shouldn’t have something to say about it. It’s her home, isn't it?” “No. Although I gather that she would like to own it and this chap along with it.” "Are they engaged?” “I’m not sure. Anyway she has horrible taste. And I won’t have her ruining this house if I can help it.* (To Be Continued)

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Would you like an outride viewpoint on Your problem? Explain your situation to Jane Jordan and read her answer in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—l am 20 years old and have been married three years. The first two years my husband acted like he was crazy about me. For the last year he does not seem like the same man. He never says a word to me unless I say something to him. For the first two years I stepped out on him and he knew it. He didn't like it, of course, but he still loved me. Now I'm true to him but he won't trust me any place, but thinks I should trust him anywhere he wants to go. I know of several times that he has gone out when I was stepping out. too. He said he just did it to break me. We have a baby two years old whom he seems to love dearly. I let him have his way more than I did a year ago, and I can't understand him. He won't pay any attention to me. When I start loving him he says he is tired and doesn't feel like it. He never goes out alone, but when we go some place together he doesn’t act as if he knew me but carries on in a big way with every one else. Wha£ do you think could be the matter with him? HEARTBROKEN. Answer—For the life of me I can’t see why you are puzzled about your husband's behavior. He has lost confidence in you and you have nobody but yourself to thank. What makes you thing

~~~ r l H

you can trifle with a man’s affection for two years and have him welcome you back with a glad cry when suddenly you decide to be faithful. I imagine he would have left you a long time ago if it had not been for the baby. Love is not the hardy perennial

Jane Jordan

you imagine it to be. but a delicate plant which will not stand the frosty blast of disillusion. You have injured your husband’s pride and made him feel unimportant to you. Now he has decided to retaliate by giving you a dose of your own medicine. His method has worked, too,

for now- you are interested in him and want him to be interested in you. I do not know whether it is too late or not. Nor do I know how you can bebuild that w hich you have so carelessly torn down. Dear Jane Jordan—l met a fellow about three months ago and have been with him several times. About three weeks ago he said he would be down to see me but didn't show up, and I never heard from him till the other night when he was in town and told my girl friend that he had been sick, and was on his way to see me. But he didn't come. If he comes to see me should I act as I always did or should I give him the air? JUST ME. Answer—There Is absolutely no excuse for a young man who breaks a date and makes no explanation. It shows a distressing lack of breeding which makes him socially ineligible. and the sooner he learns this the better. He has no right to reserve your time and then be so boorish that he makes no explanation when he can not come. Yes, Id give such a boy the air. Dear Jane Jordan—About six months ago I got into trouble with the law. I was sent up for a short time only, but now that I'm out nothing that I did find pleasure in seems to interest me. I’ve tried everything. All of my friends seem about the same but I seem to lack something. Could you offer any suggestions? HOPEFUL. Answer—A useful occupation will rebuild your ego. but the job of finding it is not for me. Your conflict with society has lowered your self-respect and put you in a hopeless state of mind. What you need is to feel that you are a necessary part of some group, even though the group is small. This is peculiarly your own job and you'll have to work at it. You know your friends. I do not. What can you do that will make you indispensable to them? What can you do to get back the old pleasant feeling of "belonging?” Put your mind to it. It's not hopeless at all. but it does require considerable effort on your part.
