Tulip Time Ball Held in Setting of Blooms Based on Dutch Motif Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Ruckelshaus Arranged Indianapolis Athletic Club Event; Favors Appropriate to Easter. BY BEATRICE BURG AN Time* Woman'. ro Editor. THE Indianapolis Athletic Club tried its hand at rivaling nature Saturday night at its Tulip Time ball, and the garden effect which decorators created was a good match for an outdoor scene. A path down the corridor leading to the green room and dining room bordered tulip beds on both sides. Springing from artificial grass mats were tulips and other spring flowers. In the lounge between the rooms a fountain sparkled and sprayed water. Tulips bloomed around the edge. The fireplace of the dining room was replaced by a windmill, the wheel of which turned. Dutch girls handed the women
guests tulips and lavors, silky pink and yellow rabbits. In the corner of the room were improvised huge pots, holding tulips, and in the window ledges were large pots of artificial tulips. The menus had handpainted tulips blooming at the top. Even the orchestra played behind a bed of tulips. Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Ruckelshaus were co-chairmen of the ball. The skirt of Mrs. Ruckelshaus’ seagreen mousseline gown was a froth of ruffles, and the cape, wrapped around her shoulders was edged with ruffles. Mr and Mrs. Joseph Cain were among the guests of their party. Mrs. Cain's printed dress depended only on its color for a becoming effect. The straps looped halter style in back. Mrs. Grier Shotwell's green chiffon gown had pleated
Miss Burgan
frills forming a vest effect and the short sleeves were full. Her sister, Miss Madelaine Speers, danced in a red and white dotted Swiss frock, the sleeves puffed and held to the shoulders by shirred bands. A red sash was caught with a Dresdan bouquet in front and streamers fell down the front of the dress. ... , A pleated flare around the bottom of Mrs. Morris Lanville Browns blue chiffon gown matched the flare around the shoulder cape. Darker blue velvet tied in a sash at the waistline. >
Showered over Mrs. Wells Hampton’s rose beige chiffon gown were green and brown figures. A brown grosgrain belt held in the waistline of the jacket, designed with short sleeves; a bow at the neckline matched the bow formed by the sash in front. Round glass buttons dangled down the front of the Jacket. Daisies clustered around the nrckline of Miss Irma Drake's black net, gown, the skirt swishing with fullness. Daisies were sewn over the finger tip length cape, which fluttered back off her shoulders as she walked. The pattern of Mrs. William Ray Adams' silk gown reminded one of old-fashioned percale. Its red background was patterned in yellow. The gown had large revers which turned back outside the tailored jacket. A yellow' scarf printed in red was tied ascot fashion. ana Easter—the universal church going day— saw’ Mrs. James M. Ogden. director of the Ogden Junior Chorale, attending services at the Meridian Street M. E. Church at 11 after directing the annual sunrise services at Monument Circle.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN
Unload jrnur trouble* on .Tane Jordan, ho will study your problems and help you with them by her answers in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—l have been married for 1? years, happily until three years ago when my husband began stepping out with a woman j whom he said was an o’.d school friend. He did not know that I I knew about his affair until laic in the summer. He
had been meeting her for three or four months. Once I met her at a dance and tried to be nice by saying that I was very glad to know her and had heard my husband speak of her often. She gave me one of those dark looks and didn’t even acknowledge the

introduction. At first he saw her only in the daytime. Later on he stayed out all night. Finally my husband decided that | they would have to stop their play and he stayed around home more and on his job more. Now that that affair is over, another has developed. He refuses to go anywhere with me unless the newly acquired friend is along. My friends tell me I am a fool for staying with him, but I have always worked and put quite a bit j of money in our home. Naturally I | love my home and I love my husi band. He has always been selfish j with me and grouchy a great deal [ of the time. I feel that I am neurotic in going with my husband and his friend. ! and my friends seem to think so. too. Should I continue trying to be a good sport or is that really being a good sport? I am trying to let i him have his fling. I wonder if he will ever get over it and have ! searched my brain to think of something I have done that would make him want to step out. I can’t think of any thing. I am 35 years old and feel that something must be done or I will walk out and look for some rne else. A little kindly advice would be greatly appreciated. KATE. Answer—l wish I could tell you exactly what to do, but I can t. I You will have to be guided by what works end what doesn't ! work. Sometimes a woman who | works is nQt sufficiently depend- : ent on her husband to make him I feel important. It is as dangerous to demand j too little of love as too much. The woman who is too self-contained tends to make her husband feel insignificant. In that ase he will i search for a woman who makes him i°el important. Modern women have little respect for the big boy, little girl relationship. What they have to | remember is that the need to feel | significant is universal among hu- } man beings. It is not confined to the married relationship alone, ; nor is it peculiar to men. We love the people who boost our egos and dislike those who make us feel inferior. When the man who philanders is really in love with his wife, a : good family row may straighten him out. The loved wife can get j away with hysterics and her hus- | hand only will be flattered that she cares so much. When the adI venturous urge is upon him. he ! either represses it or covers up his tracks to save his home. Now if you've tried the timehonorpd blow-up and it hasn't worked, it is obvious you must try JEANNETTE HARRIS TO WED IN JUNE Mr. and Mrs. Edward W. Harris announce the engagement of their daughter. Miss Jeannette Harris, to James E. Loer, nephew of Mr. and , Mrs. Lewis A. Coleman. The wedding will take place June 1 at the ,| Harris home.

something else. No person is psychologically able to love one whom he has wronged, though his guilt sense may drive him to certain compensations. While you’re trying to decide on the best means of making your husband feel like a king in his own household, it is better to remain conveniently blind to his peccadillos than to embarrass him by being oversweet to your rival. Dear Jane Jordan—l am a girl of 16 and have been married a year. My husband is now working out of town. I love dancing and parties, but my husband just sits around and won’t take me anywhere. While he is away I have been going out. There is a fellow that I am falling for in a big way. I have dates with him almost every night. My husband says he loves me but he won’t take me any place and the boy friend will. Do you think I should leave my husband for the other man, or try and live with him. FRANKIE. Answer—Of course you ought not to be married to anybody for a long while. You haven’t had enough chance to play. Your young husband is* too burdened in earning a living to play with you. Don’t you think you're a pretty short sport in cheating him?
Contract Bridge
Today’s Contract Problem South is playing the contract at six spades. West opens the jack of hearts. It looks as if declarer should lose a diamond and a heart. However, seven-odd can be made.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY \V. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League NEVER’’ is a word that can practically be eliminated from the bridge players’ vocabulary. Conventions and general laws are only the basic foundation for you to use. If you are in a normal contract, plan the hand for normal results. Do not take a gamble to play for more than you can make. However, if you find yourself in a contract that can not be made unless a long gamble is taken, take the i gamble, even though you may be set a trick or two: especially if it will : enable you to make a slam contract, as the long -gamble will in today's six-spade contract. West's opening lead was the king of hearts, which South trumped l with the deuce of spades. Declarer 1 has a losing diamond and a losing ! club. The only chance to make the hand is to find the club honors split and to execute a strip and end play. n a a LET'S see what has to be done to make this play. All hearts have I to be trumped and still a trump must be retained in dummy. Therefore, declarer needs two trump enI tries in his partner’s hand. The only way this can be accomplished is to finesse the ten of spades. The general rule says, "Never finesse with 10 trumps.'’ But that is your only chance to make the hand. Luckily for declarer, the spade ten j held, so a small heart was ruffed j with the five of spades. Another 1 trump was played, dummy winning ' with the aca of spadfeo. Another

heprt was ruffed with the eight of spades. A diamond was returned, which was taken with the ace, and the last heart was trumped with the jack of spades. The declarer now cashed his king of diamonds and led the nine of diamonds, not caring whether East or West took the trick, so long as the club honors were split. East held the trick with the jack of diamonds. If he returned the queen of diamonds, the losing club would be discarded in one hand and the I diamond ruffed in the other. If a 1 club were to be returned, the declarer would get a free finesse. (Coovrieht. 1935. NEA Service. Inc.l

‘Court of Fashions’ Will Be Unusual Feature of Philadelphia Exposition Reception for George and Martha Washington Will Be Depicted in Minuet and Style History Portrayed. BY HELEN LINDSAY A SPECTACULAR and unusual fashion pageant will be featured at the Philadelphia Exposition, which will be held May 9to 18 It will be called the "Court of Fashions,” and will dramatize the fashions of the past and present. / The prologue will be “The Queen's Court.’’ in which the queen will appear with 12 aids carrying a long train, which when reversed will show all of the silks and satins used in the costumes. A rainbow minuet, with 16 persons taking part, will be shown as the first scene, in a representation of a reception given for George and
Martha Washington. In this fashions worn in the Colonial Period will be shown. Following this will be a tableau of Lincoln's visit to Philadelphia, and fashions of the Harrison reform period will be shown, depicting the styles of the 90s. Three different settings will be used for the showing of modern fashions. The first will be a street scene in Philadelphia, with the background showing a replica of the city hall and adjoining buildings. All outdoor costumes will be shown in this setting. Evening wraps and evenings gowns will be shown in a scene representing the arrival of the audience at the foyer of the Academy of Music, and the third modern setting will be a country club scene, in which sportswear and afternoon costumes will be shown. The pageant, which will last an hour and a quarter.
and will have a musical accompaniment, will be under the direction of Dr. Harper Garcia Smythe, director of pageantry for the exposition. tt n u xr a a Method Said to Improve Cotton AMERICAN cotton growers will be interested in anew process discovered recently, by which cotton fabrics are said to be so improved that manufacturers who now desire Egyptian cottons will turn to the American product. Under microscopic examination, the fibers treated with the new solution are said to be straightened and made smooth, round and uniform. The new process, it is believed, will add to the life and durability of cotton fabrics. It is said to give a permanent rayonized effect to cotton materials, and in the case of lightweight fabrics, such as voiles, mussing and creasing easily are removed by shaking the fabric or hanging it in a closet.
