Remember that as a general rule a c that you strike in the accompaniment of a song should contain the note or tne melody that is sounded at the same time by the voice. If all of a sudden in the middle of a song something goes wrong, study out what is the matter, it is probably a change of key which you, with your newly acquired knowledge of ,unoamental chords in.aU kqys should be able to recognize without difficulty. of course, accommodate your accompaniment to a change of key.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN
Don’t strugele with your problems alone! Write a letter to Jane Jordan, who will answer your questions in this column. Dear Jane Jordan —I am a woman in my early twenties, separated from my husband for three years, but not divorced. My husband does not help me support my child. About a year ago I met a man 13 years my

by surprise and found us together. She said if I had been a lady I would never have gone with a married man. He told me that she would never mean anything to him, but that he was going to try it with her one more time because he felt it to be his duty. I have heard since that he is just crazy about her. I have been watching her and find that she is untrue to him. He works at night, and Sunday night I saw her making love to a divorced man. Should I tell him or not? A MODERN WOMAN Answer—Certainly not. Tale bearers never are popular, if the man is fond of his wife after all, he will not thank you for destroying his faith in her. Your motive for telling him would be none too good. If you are honest you will admit you were humilated by the fact that you were caught in a questionable situation and stung by the woman’s accusation that you were not behaving like a lady. It would be a rather neat retaliation to catch her in a situation that enabled you to return the compliment. In so doing you would be hurting the wife under cover of helping the husband. It is difficult for any of us to admit that we like to hurt others and when we indulge ourselves in it we are careful to account for our conduct by a benevolent impulse which is more or less phony. In this case it is easy for you to convince yourself that your motive is # above reproach, but I wonder? When a married pair is having trouble, their friends would do well to follow a “hands off” policy, but they seldom do. You have a situation in your own life which should be cleared up before you attempt to clear up the lives of others. Let the man make his own discoveries. It is none of your business. n n n Dear Jane Jordan—l am a girl 17 years old going to high school and would like for you to answer the following qutestions: Should a girl tell a fellow that she likes him or should she let actions speak louder than words? Should a girl kiss a fellow on the first date? Should she pay him compliments? Should she call a fellow up first, or if he has called first, should she call? A DAILY READER Answer—Young men differ so much that there are no hard and fast answers to your questions which fit all cases. The girl who is invariably cordial to all boys, and who does not hestitate to show her appreciation of their good qualities is always popular. Yet occasionally we see a boy madly pursuing a girl who will have none of him and who never says a decent word about him. Most boys prefer to work a little for their kisses. Yet occasionally

Indeed, this is the foundation of a knowledge of music as well as anything else—Just plain work. If you work honestly and earnestly your reward will come ia ability to do what others cannot do.

Hobby Room Among New Developments Offering Home Decoration Change Other Parts of House Become Less Cluttered as a Result of Innovation; Basements Frequently Utilized. BY HELEN LINDSAY WITH the time for the Indianapolis Home Show approaching. thoughts of many Indianapolis men and women are turning to the redecoration of their homes. One of the interesting developments in changes which may be made in homes is the addition of a hoboy room. With the added consideration which is being given to leisure time, the person with a hobby is seeking space for his activities. Many rooms are being furnished in modern homes as a background for collections, and housewives are welcoming the change, since it takes away the look of a work-roc ai or a museum from the family living room
or dining room. One prominent eastern lawyer, who spends his evenings and Sundays in etching, has set aside one room in his apartment for his hobby. He has installed an etching press, and has covered the walls of the corner near it with sheet cork. The rest of the wall is painted white, as a background for his pictures, and to insure the maximum of light. His work is done on a lighted table and strips of aluminum on the two walls provide a frame for the prints he wishes to display. Another professional man has arranged a room with two sides of built-in shelves, where he can display h:s unusual collection of old blue Colonial plates. He has painted the shelves and the remaining wall space a neutral blue, as a background for the pottery. A New York lawyer has decorated his office around
a collection of miniature animals. Some parade along a hearth shelf, while others are shown in cabinets. He has painted the walls a soft straw color, which sets off the many colors of the porcelain, wood and glass replicas of animal life. b b b* bbu Smcdl Figures Form Musician’s Hobby AN orchestra conductor has built-in shelves around the walls of his studio, on which he displays a collection of small figures of men and animals playing musical instruments. The shelves are painted red on the inside, with black edges. Another interesting hobby room has been equipped for a short wave radio fan. He has shelves built along one side of a small room, providing space for the radio and a small desk at the side of it. Nearby is a stand for the loud speaker and a comfortable arm chair. All the wood work is painted to match the wood trim of the room. Sometimes a hobby room may be combined with a game room. In some homes, the basement can be turned into a colorful setting for hobbies and game equipment. B tt B B B B Vicki Baum Occupies Interesting Home ONE of the most interesting homes in Hollywood is that of Vicki Baum, noted German novelist. The furnishings of the white painted brick house are German and contemporary American. In the living room there is an enormous fireplace of creamy white tiles. Set in the outer wall are two aquariums which house brilliant fish, and also serve as windows. The color scheme for the room has been suggested by a piece of Oriental embroidery on the desk in the library. Colorful furnishings are placed against the three walls which are painted white, and a fourth which is black. Miss Baum’s own room has soft raspberry colored walls, and from the windows one sees the whole sweep of the canyon, for the home is high in the halls. The furniture is painted gray in this room, and is low and comfortable.
senior who had the ways that any woman expects in a decent man, except that he drank a lot. He was married and had two children in another town, where his wife ran a grocery. I went with him for about eight months. Some way or other his wife found it out and walked in town
we find a young couple who fell into each other’s arms on the first date and lived happily ever after. There is no limit to what boys will swallow in the way of compliments, but once in a while a girl is accused of insincerity because she is too lavish with praise. In the main it is better to let the boy do the pursuing, by telephone or in person, yet some of them never would take the trouble without ample encouragement. Your attitude toward all these problems must be governed by what is ambiguously called “woman’s intuition.” What fails with one succeeds with another. No one can instruct you properly. You will learn by trial and error. n n n Dear Jane Jordan—l am 17 years old and have gone with a girl in my neighborhood for several months. Lately she met a pal of mine and fell hard for him, leaving me to hold the bag. Now they have split up and she wants me to come back again. Should I or shouldn’t I? DOUBTFUL CHARLEY. Answer—l don’t know. I think you want to or you wouldn’t have written, but you hate to sacrifice your pride. Perhaps you rose in the girl’s estimation when she contrasted you with your pal. You might try a visit or two and see how you get along.
