Demands on H o usewife Never Cease Career Women, On Other Hand, Can Stop Activities. BY HELEN WELSHIMER NT % Artier Staff Writer 'T'HFRE is nice harmony in the adulation chorus that is singing hymns of praise to Mrs. Oliver Cromwell Grinm'll because, at 57. she Las retired as sole owner and opera tor of a famous lithographing company.

But the homemaking woman's life isn’t so simple. Her equations are human ones. Slv can'! break them.

But she can’t Life does not look at a home-maker’s birthday bonk and inform her that, on such a date she will be given her reprieve. Therefore, it is not fair to take the stand that every woman whose years have grown long enough to cast a slight shadow over her lawn should relinquish her duties. It is a glorious idea, but lacking financial backing, for ’he most part, and freedom from cares, for the rest of it. most women can't. After all. women are no longer growing old as they did when our grandmothers held to the belief that youth was fleet and age was long. \v cm nrp growing up. instead. We have learned to balance our time better, to put first things first. Leisure which is the newest commodity on the economic market, should be o distributed that women will havo timo for relaxation all along the years. Held by Strong Ties Here again, the housewife has pre iter difficulty than the business woman. She can’t lock the door rod scapt when she deals in a personal human element. It isn’t because she wants to wash dishes and bake pies and scrub floors and dust chairs that she works overtime. It is because it is her job. and she has to do it. Nor is it. fair to tell her that she is being untrue to the new' status of women because she completes her job. Men work overtime at their offices So do professional and business women. They aren't criticised and they are commended! The home-maker is worthy of appreciation, too. It i only natural that men and women shall plan for a time of enjoyment when life has run for a long time. Any well-known man's bit tapin' reveals that hope. Idleness may bring unhappiness, but lei- ire should sponsor joy. Since this longing is innate in everv human breast, even more so now that youth extends its reign, and we, growing wiser, have learned tiiat the first part of life is merely a prelude for its latter years—since we all would like to plan on a future holiday, lot’s sympathize with those who don't find one in the grab bag. A housewife might cast her line in i grand manner if site ever had time to go fishing.

TANG

BEGIN HERE Ton** Pretty Tretsure McGuire and swarthy ; Carlos Bermuda win the adrr ration ol the audience and congratulations from ] the owner when thev dance the tango at ! Pete Fernando s night club. Treasure is I thrilled at her first taste of night life bo’ fails to respond to Carlos' lovemaking When he takes her home her Jov vanishes for she learns that her father Mike McGuire, has left, ieavini his wife Ellen, ar.d five children penniless. Treasure decides she must find worx so 'he next dav she returns to the night club to ask Fernando for a Job. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORV CHAPTER TWO RELUCTANTLY. Treasure came! . back. After talking with its j proprietor she was not so anxious , to work in the night club as she had thought. The blue eyes lifted to! Petes were clouded with doubt as she waited to hear his proposition. ■‘lt’s !ike this,” he said coaxingly.; : ' I cant afford to pay out any more | overhead at this point until things ! pick up, I mean, but after that it may be different.” "I can't wait,” she stated simply, j ‘ I have to make some money now.” ' “That's all right. I'm trying to tell you how you can make some, j Darn easy, too.” Her innocent eyes surveyed him ! gravely. “How?” “It’s perfectly O K. All straight and aboveboard. And later on if you’re as clever as I think you 1 are . . Oliver Keith interrupted impatiently. “The kid doesn’t know what you’re talking about, Pete Why don’t you explain?” “I'm going to let you be one of my hostesses,” the proprietor offered magnanimously. "No salary, but a nice little percentage on the drinks you can sell and plenty of tips.” “What would I have to do?” “Not a thing but be pleasant to the customers. Dance when they want a partner and sit at the table between dances and talk.” “Would they pay me just for doing that?” Would they pay you?” laughed Pete. “I’ve two other girls not half so attractive as you are who carry home a nice little sum every week. Tiie big butter and egg men that come in from out of town are willing to pay plenty for a pretty little girl to dance with especially after they've had a few drinks.” “I couldn't drink with them.” “You wouldn't have to. You order whatever they do and get your cut in the bill, but we serve you cold tea or ginger ale.” Even to her inexperienced ears it didn't sound so good but she was desperate. There was no money whatever in that house on Fillmorest. “I might do it for awhile,” she i consented. “If I don’t like it I can j quit.” Pete looked unended. “That's gratitude. You say you i have to have some money right ! away and I'm offering you a chance ! to make it. It’s nothing to me whether you do it or not.” She hastened to apologize. “Oh. I didn’t mean it that way. j It’s wonderful of you to want to j help me and I do appreciate it only . ” “Only what?” the man demanded winking again at Oliver Keith. “Nothing except that I'm not sure I can talk to men I’ve never even seen before.” “Don't worry about that. You can dunce with them and listen while they talk.” * Her face cleared. “Yes I can do that. I’m a good dancer. I mean I can dance with practically any one.” Her glance met Oliver Keith’s. His was admiring and sympathetic. It was as if he had telegraphed a message of courage. “I'll stand by you. kid,” was written in every line of his face and for no reason, except that she liked that face. Treasure trusted him. “When shall I start?” she asked still looking at the piano player. Pete answered “May as well begin tonight. That is if you need the money." “If I nepd it!” she repeated hurrying back to F'lmore-st. “If I need the money; with the rent paid only to the first of the month and tomorrow Nov. 12; with food enough to last not more than two days and six persons to ieed. one of them sick!” Even so. what w 7 as Ellen McGuire going to think of this plan? To dance with strange men; to encourage them to buy drinks, accepting for these services whatever amount thev chose to offer sounded cheap enough to Treasure. If her mother refused to let her do it she could not disobey, out if Ellen didn’t know what her daughter's position was. If for instance she thought Treasure was just dancing. “There’s no use worrying her,” the girl thought with the ache in her heart that always came at the idea of her mother. For this reason she deliberately erased the signs of uneasiness from her face as she approached her home. Her voice expressed all the joyous confidence she did not feel las she cried. “Good news, mama! I have a job. Starting tonight.” Ellen’s faded eyes brightened. “You have. Treasure? Where?” “At that night club where Carlos took me. I told you the proprietor came over to our table and complimented us! Well, he's going to let me dance there.” a a a ELLEN'S mind dulled by worry and ill treatment suspected no evasion. But Carlos was more suspicious Treasure managed to keep him quiet until they were out of heari :ng but as soon as they had left ; her house he burst into a frenzy 'of accusations which would have done credit to Mike McGuire him- ! self. "What’s all this about now? When did you see this bird? And what do you mean he’s going to pay you i to dance there?” "Just what I said. Carlos.” “You don t know anything about j dancing except what I have taught I you.” “My grandmother was a chorus girl.” she reminded him. ’’What does that have to do with it? You can't dance professionally without a routine. You can't even dance the tango without a partner.” He seized her arm. twisting it. “You’re not going to try our j dance with any one else?” “Carlos, you're hurting me.” “Answer me, then. Tell me the truth.” ’ No!” she cried, frightened. “I’m not going to dance the tangc ” He released her then saying re-

morsefully, “I'm sorry. Treasure. I didn't mean to hurt you.” Treasure rubbing her bruised arm rebuked him. “You oucht to be ashamed going to pieces like that.” “I said I was sorry. Tell me if it is not the tango what is it you are planning to dance?” There was no use evading him. It would be impossible to deceive that man of the world. Carlos. So she told him. “Have you ever heard of a night club hostess?” “That's not what you have in mind.” “Yes.” “You can’t do it,” he said sternly. “I w T on b let you.” “I must,” Treasure insisted. “You saw how things are at heme. Father has gone for good and there isn’t any money.” He buried his face in his hands. “Oh no!” he cried. “I can’t bear It." “There’s nothing disgraceful about it.” “Dancing with men you’ve never seen before. Taking their tips.” “It’s no worse than your sister taking tips from the men whose nails she manicures.” “l”s much worse,” he declared dramatically. aaa TH’CY had been on their way to f. movie but when they reached the theater he insisted on sitting in the foyer where they could talk. “V e have to have this cut, Tree sure.” “There’s nothing to have out,” the girl said stoutly. “Marry me,” he begged. “My job doesn’t pay a lot but it’s permanent. I’ll be good to you.” “I can’t do that, Carlos. I wouldn’t have anyway, but now it’s impossible.” “Why is it?” “My mother needs me. She’s going to have another baby.” He groaned. “You can’t take care of all that mob.” “There isn’t any one else to do it but Terry. He’ll help.” “Marry me and we’ll rent a little apartment.” Her voice was distressed but determined. “It’s sweet of you to ask me but I can’t.” “You’re actually going on with this idea? Dancing with a lot of bums?” In . spite of his tragic tone i giggled. “He said they would be big butter and egg men.” But Carlos did not smile. “All right! I wash my hands of you. Don’t expect to see me again.” In silence they sat through a picture which neither could see. The boy was blind with resentment and jealousy Treasure busy with her own thoughts. She was .supposed to report to the night club at 7. What should she wear? The white was too unsophisticated. Dyed black it would be

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

more appropriate. In the meantime there was :ne dress she had worn to the Junior dance last spring. It was a r#*6h bright blue and before she put it on she would cut the back out of it. Even Ellen could not object to her doing so now that she was in a way professional. The fact ihat her grandmother had been a song and dance girl in a London revue which had toured the United States had always spurred the girl’s imagination. Not so with Ellen who regarded her unknown mother’s desertion as an unforgivable sin. There was no romance to Ellen in the old-fashioned costume of spangled tarlatan her parent had left behind her. She kept it concealed like a skeleton in the closet where the 10-year-old Treasure rummaging for doll clothes material had found it one day. “Oh, mama, what is this?” she had cried. “Just an old dress,” Ellen announced sourly. Ellen wouldn't even let the little girl dress, up in the frock. Five years later she had told Treasure that it belonged to her grandmother. “She left a program, too,” the mother admitted. “With a poem or something written on the back.” But when Treasure begged to see it Ellen had refused. “Some day when you’re older,” she promised. “When I’m 19?” “Maybe. And now quit thinking about it. You shouldn’t,” asserted Ellen, “think anything about a woman who deserted her own child.” In spite of this Treasure had continued to think of her often. Wondering if it had been terribly thrilling to be a chorus girl. Imagining what her grandmother would say if she should be confronted with a grown up daughter of the baby she had left behind her. Grandmother McGuire, dead now almost five years, had been a sharptongued old woman who smoked a pipe. But this other grandmother who might be dead, also, was material for romance. Perhaps she had loved a wealthy man who had deserted her! Perhaps she had been secretly married to a member of her own troupe! Did she ever cry and long to see her baby? Sometimes as Treasure grew older she made up stories about a beautiful old woman who rescued her from all kinds of difficulties announcing, “I am your grandmother, my child” while she fell on her knees and kissed the bejewelled hand. But she was not thinking of her that night as she hastily cut the back from the bright blue dress; as she kissed her mother good-by and told her not to wait up; as she opened the door of the night club on the rattle of drums and long drawn wail of a saxophone.

Contract Bridge

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY, Secretary American Bridge League AT the annual meeting of the American Bridge League, held recently in connection with the national championship tournament in New York. Mrs. A. C. Hoffmeier, Cleveland, had the distinction of being re-elected president of the Women’s Auxiliary. The first event on the program was the national women’s team-of-four championship contest. When the scores were totaled, it was found that Mrs. Hoffmeier ana her teammates had won the first of the national championship titles to be awarded during the week. This is the second time Mrs. Hoffmeier and her partner, Mrs. Anne Rosenfeld, have won this trophy. Three years ago they won it in Philadelphia, when it was the Women’s Auction Team trophy.

Now South knew that undoubtedly the queen and jack of hearts were located in West’s hand, as well as the king of diamonds. So the jack of diamonds was discarorti from dummy, and when South cashed her king of hearts. West’s jack dropped.
