Fortnightly Club Will Mark Golden Birthday at Luncheon Tomorrow Organization Formed for Literary Purposes, Counted Miss Laura Ream, Pioneer Writer, Among Members. BY BEATRICE Bl ROAN Time* Homan * Pace Editor FORTNIGHTLY for 50 years a literary club has met with the thought that ‘Light seeking light, doth light of light beguile." Prom February to October In 1885. the year of the founding, the club members met as the Nameless Literary Circle, and then christened the organization the Fortnightly Literary Club. Tomorrow at the Propylaeum club members and guests will attend a luncheon to celebrate the golden anniversary of the club, which has met continuously for cultural discussions. Mi.ss Gertrude Baker will tell members what she recalls of the club
founding. Membership in the club is a tradition in the Baker family. Miss Baker's mother, Mrs. Albert Baker, really "was responsible for the club founding. She had come Vo Indianapolis from Crawfordsville, where she had been a member of the Athenian Club. When Mrs. Baker related her experiences in the club to Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks, they both agreed that their circle of friends needed the cultural stimulation of a club where their ideas could be exchanged. Mrs. Fairbanks offered to be hostess at an organization meeting. Miss Baker s grandmother, Mrs. Conrad Baker, was one of the guests invited to the meeting, held scarcely a year before the dea'h of ex-Gov. Conrad Baker, who served Indiana after the Civil War. Mrs. Edward H. Dean, grandniece of former Gov. Noble; Miss Laura Ream, one of the first newspaper
Miss Burgan
women in Indiana; Mrs. Henry C. Allen, Mrs. John T. Dye. Miss Alice Finch and Mrs. Charles E. Henderson, accepted invitations to the meeting. Mrs. Henderson is the only living founder and lives at Easton, Md. Mrs. Ovid Butler Jameson, who be- |
came affiliated with the club in November, 1885, still is a member and will give greetings at the anniversary party. During the early years of the club, members pointed with pride to Miss Ream, for she was making a national name for herself as an au- j thoritative critic of political and : civic matters, and wrote for local and Cincinnati papers. Met in Homes For eight years meetings were, held at various members' homes un- ! til erection of the old Propylaeum clubhouse which provided a center for women’s activities. Mrs. John S. Tarkmgton was hostess for the last parlor meeting. When the clubhouse was dedicated Mrs. J. H. Baldwin the Fortnightly Club on the speakers platform, j and Mrs. Fairbanks was one of the members of the first board. With removal of the original clubhouse to make way for the World War memorial, the Fortnightly continued to hold its meetings in the present clubhouse. A desk in the corner of a hall at the Propylaeum holds the documents and treasures of the club. Headed by Mrs. Miesse Mrs. Harry Miesse is club president today and she is a daughter of a former club president. Mrs. Elva Riley Eitel. and niece of James Whitcomb Riley.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN
Don't lock up your troubles! Put them in a leter to Jane Jordan, who will answer your question* in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—l am a business woman 36 years old. I married 13 years ago on a 50-50 basis, but soon found out it w r as nearer an 80-20 basis. I work eight hours a day in the office and then go home to cooking and
il cleaning. I dress so shabb'ly I am afraid of my job. I eat 10-cent lunches and am so worn out and worried about exI penses that I can’t I give my best to my I work. Everybody thinks my husband is a good fellow. He likes to make a big { show, but he is a grouch at home

and growls if I ask him to help me. When I get ray pay on Saturdays he is always on hand to borrow a little money which he never pays back. Several years ago it dawned on me that I no longer loved him. Now I am beginning to worry about the future and old age. If I had nobody but myself -to look after I still have enough time and strength to provide for my own future, but I am afraid to make the break. I guess it is because I am so old-fashioned that I look on separation as a disgrace, but sometimes it seems to me that it would be best for both of us. V. W. Answer—ln my opinion insupportable loneliness filled with bitterness and regret is valid grounds for divorce. The worst that can happen in marriage is not that the wife should work hard, or suffer, but that she should waste away In unfilled yearning. To her society brings only the empty message,‘‘Grin and bear it.” but the intelligent bow to no such inhuman creed. Whether or not anything can be done to save your bankrupt marriage. I do not know. If you’re interested in trying, consult a psychiatrist. Your husband bears out the feeling of many that the man who married a self-support-ing woman tencs toward complete dependency. One of tlje commonest complaints of marriage is the husband's instinctive conception that married life is his life amplified. He wants to act as if single in a situation belonging to man and wife. He wants his wife to serve as an uncomplaining mother who gives all and asks nothing in return. I feel that a woman caught in such a situation has a right to demand her husband either cooperate or dissolve the partnership. m tt Dear Jane Jordan—l am a married woman of 54 and have a husband of 62. I have raised a family of five children; have worked hard all my life; am a good housekeeper and an excellent cook. But all my life has been wasted for I have lived in a home of discord for 33 years. My husband is one of these sour grape men who hates everybody. We never go out together. I have taken all kinds of insults. He tells the children that they are insane and that I. after passing a certain period in life, am more or less insane. I am thinking of leaving him and getting a room with my daughter. I am not old. I have lots of energy and I like activity. I like to go places

but if I mention going to a show, trouble starts immediately. If I leave him can I get support, and can I get my furniture. He says it belongs to him as he paid for it. If that is the case, pray tell me just where do I come in for the hard knocks and bumps I have had? Please advise me. MELANCHOLY
Answer—l can’t advise you for I can not look into the future and see how you would bear the problems of divorce and economic insecurity. I think you could get a divorce on grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment, and that the court would award you both your furniture and support. However, I have no way of knowing whether or not your husband w f ould run away so far that he could not be found. Then what would you do for support? I should think that a woman of your capabilities and energies could find a way of supporting herself. But you might be utterly miserable without your home and look back on its horrors as preferable to homelessness. That is why you and you only can make this decision. I am wondering what is the attitude of your children and whether or not they are back of you in your attempt at escape.

Feminine and Tailored Shoes Reflect Trends in Styles for Spring What Will Be Correct in Footwear for New Season Described by Herman Delman, Noted New York Designer. BY HELEN LINDSAY HERMAN DELMAN, noted designer of feminine footwear, introduced his spring collection of shoes in New York last week, and explained that there is a definite reason for every shoe design he creates. "Early Egyptian shoemakeis were forbidden to make shoes or any kind of foot covering for women, because woman's place was in the home and if she had no shoes she was more likely to stay there,” Mr. Delman said. "Modern thinking is a little kinder to women. Not only are they allowed to have shoes, but shoes for every occasion and with the changing seasons shoes designed to match the latest colors and the latest decrees of fashion. Maybe Shakespeare's famous
quotation, ‘May her foot speak.’ had something to do with the newly accepted theory that there's romance in shoes.” As each individual creation made a dramatic entrance at the Paris openings. Mr. Delman. who had been studying trends and styles, matched it with appropriate shoes. He considers the two high points of fashion this year the ultra feminine and the strictly tailored. Suits are important. Since some of them are mannishly tailored. while others have capes that are simple but elegant, he has presented a series of shoes to be worn with them. There are brogues, oxfords and tailored pumps with comfortably low heels and flexible soles to allow for action and comfort.
For the navy blue suit he suggests an all-over calfskin spectator pump with a built-up leather heel and a perforated design. An underlay of white calfskin makes an interesting contrast on this shoe, which comes in a light shade of brown. n Buttons Trim Opera Pump ONE of the high lights of the collection is an opera pump of fabric with a kidskin vamp and quarter, and six little buttons in military formation on the front and side. This shoe he has designed in blue, black and brown. In oxfords he has designed a shoe of sandro cloth, a tightly woven durable fabric, wi'h toe, heel and quarter of calfskin. Tiny porthole perforations and a trim tailored bow are details which add to its distinction. This is designed in black, brown or blue, and in combination* of blue and gray or brown and beige. For dressier moments this spring, everything is feminine. Since Paris has presented fuller skirts, softer lines and lingerie touches, Mr. Delman has introduced for t’.ie first time a kidskin operr pump with a ruffle. The ruffle is of white kidskin. perforated allovsr, fluted at the edges and draped in a swirling effect on the vamp. The only other trimming is a tiny buckle and a narrow piping of white kidskin. Another kidskin pump in blue, black or brown has white stitching on the vamp for contrast and a circular metal ring trimming. tt u a a tt tt Ancient Borne Inspires Evening Footwear FOR dining and dancing the shoes are romantic and frivolous, with open cut sandals of sequins, baguettes, lame and metallic mesh. Mr. Delman has gone back to ancient Rome and one low-heeled evening sandal is an exact copy of sandals worn by Roman women of the Patrician order. The low hee. is especially appreciated by the tall girl who likes to accommodate her dancing partners by iosing an inch or two in height. The spring collection of shoes, particularly for evening wear, w-ill be more colorful than ever, with hand-blocked Indian prints, paisley silks, brilliant flowered crepes and delicate tinsel fabrics. An early summer forecast, according to Mr. Delman, points toward a riot of color. For daytime, all-over white and white with brown will be popular again, and blue and white, the nautical combination, promises to be more important than ever.
