CHILDREN HEAR PEARY’S DAUGHTER TELL OF ARCTIC

Explains Use of Articles in Museum Junior Members Attend Gallery Eskimo Exhibit. BY BEATRICE BL’RGAN Society Editor While Mrs. Marie Peary Stafford, daughter of Admiral Robert F. Peary, North Pole discoverer, visited the Children's Museum Eskimo gallery today, the children crowded around her to hear her explanation of the uses of the carved bone implements and the furred pieces of

clothing. Many of the children were acquainted with the fascinating story of her childhood in Greenland, where she was born during one of her father's Arctic expeditions. The North Pole became more than a figment of the imagination to the visit-

ors as Mrs. Stafford answered their childish queries. She told them the Eskimos named her the Snowbaby and that she was born farther north than any other white person. Clrirsts Send Articles Many of the Eskimo pieces were sent to the museum by Dr. and Mrs. Henry W. Griest from Point Barrow, Alaska, the village located farthest North. The children also were interested in the birdskin garments donated to the Museum by Mrs. William R„ Teel. Mrs. Donald Jameson, museum board president, and Mrs. Stafford had personal reminiscences to exchange, for they were schoolmates at one time and lived across the street from each other in Washington. With Mrs. Jameson to greet Mrs. Stafford were Mrs. Theodore B. Griffith, Mrs. Eli Lilly, Miss Faye Henley and Miss Florence Fitch, trustees; Miss Elizabeth Chipman and Miss Anna R. Reade. of the board of advisers; Miss Catherine LaPenta of the Children’s Museum Guild, and Mrs. Robert Mannfeld. Irvington Museum Guild president. Children Fascinated Mrs, Jameson’s son. Fenton, and his cousin Leßoy Miller were among (he children, fascinated by Mrs. Stafford’s story of the Eskimos’ customs and legends. Frank and Gaar Johnson, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bates Johnson, listened alertly. Frank and Gaar visit the museum frequently. Their father is the board treasurer. Kay Vonnegut, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Vonnegut, was among the children. Mr. Vonnegut has been a trustee since the museum's founding ten years ago. Only junior members came for the program; they wore their seahorse emblems as identification. The board intends to sponsor more programs exclusively for young members. tt it u Since the fall of the Russian dynasty, the ruling house of Monaco has sponsored the Russian Ballet in Europe.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tiny Sparkle—but Not from a SIOOO Diamond But George Barrett Doesn’t Notice as Widow of Agent He Killed Wipes Her Eyes. BY HELEN LINDSAY Rays of light streamed into Federal Court. Mrs. Catharine I. Klein, widow of U. S. Agent Nelson B. Klein, sat wearily within the official enclosure, and gazed without emotion at the man who killed her husband. George W. Barrett, the slayer, never turned his eyes toward her. He kept his gaze on District Attorney Val Nolan.

Barrett, rather boastfully, told of dabbling in the diamond business. He purchased at one time, he said, a four and a half carat diamond from a pawnbroker for $385. He sold it for SIOOO profit, he continued, the suggestion of a smile playing about his lips. Mrs. Klein lifted a hand to her eyes momentarily. The rays of light caught the flicker of a small diamond on her left hand. It was a modest stone, evidently the engagement ring given her by her husband. On Goes the Story Barrett went on with his story. But few, perhaps, had caught the flicker of that small diamond and traced its faint sparkle to Barrett’s tale of his SIOOO profit. Perhaps Mrs. Klein didn’t either. For one week, now, the widow of the slain man has listened to testimony in the trial. Much of that testimony has been from the lips of women. Much of it has been about women. Mrs. Klein has listened, with her three-year-old daughter, Barbara Ann, on her lap, while two women testified that they saw Agent Klein drop to the ground, a victim of the bone-handled gun which Barrett carried thrust inside his white shirt on Aug. 16, 1935. She has heard efforts being made to introduce into the evidence, through government counsel, that Barrett twice has been tried, but not convicted, for the murder of his mother. She has heard.him admit that he did not attend either the funeral of his mother or that of his sister, Rachel, who is said to have died of wounds he inflicted. Sons Play in Building While her two small sons, Nelson B. Jr., 9. and Richard C.. 7. played under the supervision of building attaches, the widowed mother heard Mrs. Emma Murphy describe the shirt-sleeved man who shot their father. She listened as Mrs. Agatha McDonough. middle-aged housewife of West College Corner, Ind.. in whose garden Agent Klein was killed, told of removing the death gun from Barrett’s fingers, as he lay bleeding on the ground. She heard Mrs. McDonough testify that Barrett opened the gun to assure her that all five bullets had been exploded. Mrs. McDonough

testified that Barrett told her, “I killed a government man who was after me.” Mrs. Klein also listened while Mrs. Lethonia Forbes, Oxford, 0., described the same scene. Mrs. Forbes, who had been spending the day with Mrs. McDonough, testified that she and her hostess were standing at the curb saying goodbye, when they heard the shots. Listens to Killer She just was preparing to return to her home, she said. When they heard the shots, she testified that she and Mrs. McDonough ran into the house, and later went out into the garden where both Klein and Barrett had fallen. Yesterday, during cross examination, Mrs. Klein listened while Barrett admitted that' he had been married to a half a dozen different "women, and had lived as husband and wife with two others, both of whom bore him children. She heard him say that, though he had expected for more than a year to be arrested by Federal officers for his sales of stolen cars, which he transported from one state to another, he had no fear of these officers. Barrett, Too, Misses It She saw District Attorney Nolan unwrap the wrinkled brown suit which her husband had worn when he was killed, and offer them to Barrett for examination. When Barrett refused to take the clothing into his hands, Mrs. Klein clutched Barbara Ann closer to her. A minute later, Mr. Nolan held the death gun out before Barrett. “This is the gun with which you killed Klein?” Mr. Nolan asked. As Barrett admitted it was, Mrs. Klein wiped tears from her eyes. The diamond on her finger glistened again. But George Barrett apparently didn’t notice it.

Chop Meat for Cheap; Tasty Dish Cleverly Handled, It Can Be as Appetizing as Expensive Cut. BY MARY E. DAGUE It sometimes seems that the socalled cheap cuts of meat require so much fuel to cook that they are no real saving. However, chopped meat cleverly handled may be cooked quite as quickly as the more expensive steaks and chops. Beef, veal, lamb and pork can be chopped and used in many appetizing dishes. For instance, put a piece of the shoulder or other inexpensive cut of veal through the food chopper twice, season with salt and pepper and make into flat cakes. Bind with a slice of bacon. These cakes can be braised over the fire or baked m a moderately hot oven. Either method takes from 30 to 45 minutes because veal should be cooked quite slowly and it must be well done. Meat Loaves Always Good. Then there are the meat loaves. Chopped meat can be combined with cracker crumbs or bread crumbs to make splendid meat dishes. Careful seasoning makes these loaves savory while the crumbs act as a meat extender. Forty-five minutes to an hour w r ill be needed to bake a loaf. Os course, an extra large loaf of several pounds will take more time. A cereal combined with chopped meat makes nourishing dishes, too. Rice or macaroni or spaghetti are used in a number of ways with chopped meat and vegtables or with chopped meat alone. Potatoes need not be included in the menu when a combination of this sort is served. During a winter I spent in Southern California years ago I had my first chicken tamales. Since then I have tried a mixture of veal and pork which is very satisfactory and much less expensive. Also instead of using layers of corn husks spread with cornmeal, I have learned to use one large corn husk for each tamale and to spread the sauce over the mush. Hot Tamales One cup cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, v 2 teaspoon sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 cups boiling water, 1 cup cold water. Mix corn meal, sugar and salt to a smooth paste with cold water and add boiling water and butter. Cook and stir for ten minutes. Make a sauce as follows: Four tablespoons peanuts finely ground. 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 red dry pepper, V 2 teaspoon caraway seeds, 2 tablespoons raisins, 4 ripe olives, 1 hard cooked egg, l’i cups diced pork and veal (cooked', 2 tablespoons flour, 1 cup meat stock. Puts nuts, pepper and raisins through food chopper. Melt butter, stir in flour and slowly add meat stock, stirring constantly. Add remaining ingredients, cutting egg in slices. Taite four large corn husks and wash clean. Wipe dry. Spread each husk with paste and put 2 large spoonfuls of meat sauce on each husk. Fold and tie securely so that the filling can’t escape and steam for one hour. Serve very hot. Blanched almonds may be substituted for peanuts if you prefer. The meat should be cut in small pieces, thinner than if accurately diced. Lamb Meat Balls One and one-half pounds stewing lamb. 2 tablespoons beef drippings, IM> cups tomato juice, 1 tablespoon flour, chopped parsley, 1 minced onion, 2 whole cloves, 1 bay leaf. 2 teaspoons salt, M teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon sugar. Put meat through food chopper, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 s teaspoon pepper and make into small balls. Dust with flour. Heat beef drippings in frying pan and brown meat balls. Add tomato juice and remaining salt and pepper, sugar, onion, cloves and bay leaf. Simmer forty minutes, closely covered. Remove meat balls and thicken sauce with flour stirred to a smooth paste with a little cold water. Bring sauce to the boiling point and pour over meat balls. Sprinkle with minced parsley and serve. Marriage Announced Mr. and Mrs. Edward W. Basey announce the marriage of their daughter, Miss Marian Marguerite Basey, and Elmer A. Roell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Roell. The ceremony took place Nov. 27. Mr. and Mrs. Roell are to make their home in Indianapolis.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Lovely Dana Westbrook, born and reared abroad, comes to America after i the death of her parents, to make her i home with a grandmother whom she has never seen. Years before. Dana's mother eloped with young Westbrook, leaving her husband and an infant daughter. Nancy Wallace. After the divorce, she married Westbrook and a vear later their daughter. Dana, was born Whet’ Dana arrives at the old southern home, she is welcomed cordially by ! her great aunt. Miss Ellen Carewe but : is coldly received by her grandmother and half-ssiter. Mrs. Cameron shrewdlv begins plans to introduce Dana o society, hoping she will make a brilliant marriage Nancv is in love with rich, handsome Ronald Moore but hides her infatuation Nancv's bitter feeling against her sister is intensified when Ronald becomes interested in the younger girl. Meanwhile, Dana and young Dr Scott. Stanley are mutually attracted Hearing that Scott is practically engagpd to Paula Long. Dana asks Ronald Moore to receive with her at a party. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER SEVEN SARAH, her leathery black face wearing a doubtful expression, brought the message. ‘‘Your grandmother wants to see you, Miss Dana. In her room. Dunno what Ol’ Miss wants, but I spec it’s somethin’ upsettin’. I kin mos’ gen’ally tell by de look in her eye.” Nancy glanced up. “It wouldn't surprise me if Sarah's hunch isn’t a good one,” she commented. ‘‘Especially since she wants you to come to her room.” Both girls w r ere on the porch, Nancy swinging lazily in the worn hammock, Dana sitting nearby. “What difference does the room make?” Dana asked curiously. “It’s an awe-inspiring place—that room,” Nancy informed her. “Wait untli you see it. Furnished with antiques that took a prize at an exposition once in the old days when the family treasury overflowed. Grandmother has hung on to them. I’ve an idea she feels like a queen restored to her throne when she closes the door of that room behind her. All the drab realities of life are shut out. It’s an audience you're being granted. Wait and see!” “Ridiculous,” Dana thought, making her way up the stairs. She knocked hesitatingly, the picture Nancy had evoked in her mind. When her grandmother's “Come in,” admitted her, Dana stood for a moment startled by the accuracy of Nancy description. Seated, in a high-backed straight chair, her head raised imperiously, Grandmother Cameron did give the impression of royalty conferring favors. “Sit down, please, Dana,” she said. a a tt DANA took a seat, glancing about the large bedroom, filled with evidences of past magnificence. The massive bed was elaborately inlaid, and canopied in faded blue damask. The dresser and wardrobe were of the same desgin. A stately desk was adorned with silver appointments—a silver-bound memorandum book pen holder, silver-topped inkwell. The chaise lounge, upholstered in blue, was covered with velvet pillows. Dana doubted that her grandmother, - ever relaxed upon it. Yes, truly the aged woman could achieve here the lady-of-the-house feeling, forgetting the shabbiness so apparent in other parts of her home, the petty problems and economies that must be so distasteful. “The dresses have come,” Mrs. Cameron said slowly. “Ellen and I drove to town for them.” “Oh,” Dana began impulsively—“that’s why! Nancy and I were wondering why they didn’t come.” She stopped in embarrassment. “I never have believed in accepting things from tradespeople unless I am sure my instructions have been carried out. But the dresses are as they should be so we Drought them home.” Dana did not reply, wondering at her own constraint. She wished sne could be natural with her grandmother. “I was gratified. Dana,” Mrs. Cameron went on, “when you asked Ronald Moore to receive with you. Nancy seems to dislike him because his father happened to have the ability to make and keep a fortune. The older I grow, the more I believe money is essential as an armor of protection against the irritations of life.” Dana was thinking, “She wants Nancy and me to marry rich men. Well, why doesn't she come right out in the open and say so!” “It’s absurd to think a person can’t be fine and worth-while because they have money,” Mrs. Cameron said, her eyes fixed appraisingly on her granddaughter. “Don’t you agree with me?” “Os course,” Dana answered. “Lots of times persons who have money are nicer, because they’ve been given the chance to cultivate their minds and improve their personalities.” She expressed this conviction simply. n tt u MRS. CAMERON nodded approval. “I have always said it was just as easy to love a rich man as a poor one. And how different your life will be if you choose a rich one.” “I shouldn’t think money would make as much difference as some other things, though,” Dana demurred. “Poppycock! Blood, fine stock and heritage are very well, Dana. But they count less these days, and count for nothing if you haven't the money to back them up. I hope you will make a wise choice when you decide to marry, child. It would break my heart if you didn't.” Dana laughted. “I’m afraid I’d make a poor poor-man's wife,” she said. “I’m pretty helpless. Anyway, maybe no one will ever ask me to marry them. If nobody does, I’ll go ot work. There must be some talent I can use.” “Your talent is your beauty.” Her grandmothers’s voice was calm and assured. “It’s the greatest talent a woman can have if she uses it wisely.” Dana’s face flushed unhappily. It sounded dreadful, the way her grandmother said that. Coldblooded and material. Like selling yourself for money. Mrs. Cameron went to the wardrobe and took out a large box. “Here is your dress,” she said. “I hope it will be becoming.” ‘‘Thank you, grandmother.” Dana took the big box, wondering why she did not feel happier. She carried the dress to her room j -

PAGE 7

and placed it on the bed. Then she went back to the porch. “Our dresses have come." she told Nancy. Nancy bounded from the swing. “Why. how could they? I've been here all morning—oh, I sec. grandmother had them. Are they all right?” “I suppose .so." Dana said slowly, “I haven't tried mine on yet." Nancy smiled. "Wasn’t I right? The queen in her sitting room, counting the empty places in her money box and deaiing out favors—for a price!" Dana smiled, a little ruefully. Nancy did know her grandmother rather well. All the sweetness and fineness seemed to have been burned out of Grandmother Cameron with only bitterness and pride left. Yet, somehow, there was something tragic and patriotic about her. It was impossible not to be touched by this bitter revelation. “It must be dreadful to be poor.” Dana mused unhappily, “if you once have had fine and beautiful things, and you hate the common-place things of life as she does." tt a NANCY had put on the new dress. Downstairs she could hear sounds of preparation for the party which added to her excitement. Her dark eyes glowed and her hands trembled as she lifted the delicate cloud of white over her head. There, is was on—slipping down over her slender young body like a sheath, flaring out in stiff and smart lines falling to the floor. Warm color splashed Nancy's cheeks as she stared at herself in the mirror. She thought happily, “Well, I'm improved! Nobody could possibly deny that. If I could only wear clothes like this all the time, I might have a chance—” she broke off, unwilling to complete the thought. Tonight Ronnie would see her in something besides a make-shift tennis outfit or that old rag of an organdy she'd been wearing forever and anon. “I’m just a goose," Nancy told her image in the glass. "It's a case of arrested mental development. I suppose. I might be only 16. the way I feel.” But when a girl sees herself in the first honest-to-goodness party dress she has ever owned perhaps such excitement is excusable. Nancy thought it was going to be nice to see the surprised look in every one'3 eyes. “Here’s your flowers, honey.” Sarah's voice came from the hall. Nancy opened the door. Her hands were trembling when she took the box. “My goodness, you look nice!" Sarah's admiration was unconcealed. “My, my. ain’t that a beautiful dress! And when you puts dem flowers on—” “Hush the chatter, Sarah, and help me with this string,” Nancy said. Her voice showed that she was pleased. It would have been dreadful if Ted Stansbury had forgotten flowers, but he had not.* ifiere they were! The top of the box came off and the tissue paper parted. “Roses,” Nancy said slowly. Os course roses were nice. But this dress seemed to require some particular gorgeousness. Nancy lifted the pink buds and secured them to her shoulder. Ridiculous to be disappointed. “Miss Dana got some flowers, too.” Sarah announced. “Uhmm,” said Nancy, studying the effect of the shoulder bonquet in the mirror. She gathered up the lovely lengths of her new frock and went down the hall to Dana's room. Scarcely waiting for her knock to be answered, Nancy flung the door wide. Dana was standing before a long mirror. Her slender young arms were lifted as she pinned a bouquet of vivid orchids to her shoulder. Clouds of white swirled about her slender figure. Her eyes were bright with happiness. A smile parted her lips. The smile that had curved Nancy's own mouth a moment before was gone. She stood in the doorway, surveying her sister. She thought bitterly, “What’s the use of having anew dress? Dana’s beautiful. I’ve never seen any one as beautiful before.” (To Be Continued) PI PHI MOTHERS TO HOLD YULE PARTY A Christmas program is to feature a luncheon meeting of the Pi Beta Phi Sorority Mother's Club at 12:30 Monday when members entertain their daughters.
