Women Tennis Devotees Play Badminton, Squash to Keep Court Condition Matches at Indianapolis Athletic Club Are Serving to Prevent Sore Muscles in Coming Spring Games. • BY BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor While the country club teqnis courts are frozen over for ice skating, tennis players are keeping in shape by playing badminton or squash at ihe Indianapolis Athletic Club. These players won’t leave the courts after their first games this spring muttering words of disgust to themselves, nor will they go to the shower rooms to nurse aching muscles. The women have learned in their badminton matches in the club gymnasium that they must watch the shuttlecock as closely as any tennis ball they ever batted about a court. They also can regulate the speed of the game. After they have played enough to speed up their matches, they discover that there is no time for Jagging. Badminton can be the fastest game of its type. Mrs. Conrad Ruckelshaus, Mrs. Albert J. Beveridge Jr. and Mrs. Russell Fortune Jr. have been going to the club several days a week to play badminton. Both Mrs. Beveridge and Mrs. Ruckelshaus rank high m tennis matches at Woodstock Club during the summer.

Mrs. Fortune is a newcomer. She came here to live after her marriage to Mr. Fortune this fall

at Baltimore. Other club members choose less str en u ous sports in order to keep in trim during the winter months. Mrs. Warrack Wallace, Mrs. Frank Gastineau, Mrs. Walker Winslow, Mrs. Robert Zaiser, Mrs. I. C. DeHaven and Mrs. Arch Grossman either

swim, play volley ball or take part in the gymnasium classes. h a Mrs. Norman Baxter, Mrs. Emory Baxter and Mrs. Orien Filer always i continue swimming at the club after the season closes at Lake Maxinkuckee, where they all enjoy the water sports while visiting Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Baxter. They swam in the pool consistently before they went to Palm Beach. Mr. and Mrs. Emory Baxter returned last week-end after a vacation with Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Baxter, Mrs. Fifer and Mr. and Mrs. Norman Banter. While Oscar Jose was in Florida, he visited the Baxters. He returned Sunday but Mrs. Jose, who is a regular visitor at the I. A. C. pool, remained for a longer vacation. Mrs. C. Basil Faussett plays badminton and ping pong. Mrs. William Bennett prefers swimming as her winter sport. She is persistent in practicing, too. During the marathon in which the I. A. C. and St. Paul A. C. engaged earlier in the season, Mrs. Bennett won the award for having swum the most yards. y it The women aren’t alone in their determination to keep fit. The club’s men tennis players play squash, and several times during the season meet outside teams for competition. Like badminton, squash also is a faster game than tennis. The ball is smaller and the players develop a keen eye to keep tab of the tiny pellet. Tennis involves more arm play while squash requires more wrist and elbow action. No matter what the difference in action, the exercise is invaluable for next summer’s j tennis condition. Wilson Mothershead, Warrack Wallace, Thomas Hendricks, George Newton, Nathan Davis and Don Hawkins play several days a week after working hours. They lost to a Purdue University team early in the season, but are to have an opportunity to avenge the defeat in a later match. A Dayton team also is included on the 1 schedule. VOO Richard Papenguth. club athletic director, is training the club swimmers for a meet with the University of Michigan swimming team here Saturday. The swimmers have been pacing themselves by a mechanical rabbit, a gadget which Matt Mann. Michigan swimming coach, contrived for his swimmers. Matt is continually tinkering with devices to improve the swimming of his proteges. The mechanical rabbit is a complicated arrangement of pulley, electric motor, clothes line and a red silk ribbon. The coach regulates the speed of the “rabbit,” and the swimmers watch it as they turn their heads for breath. Obviously swimmers can't carry stop watches, and their heads are under water so much that they can't be given their time at the end of each lap after the manner of track athletes. Swimming along with the red silk “rabbit” the swimmers can learn just how to pace themselves: what speed they can maintain: when they should sprint and where they should ease off. The swimmers start with the "rabbit” and all they have to do is to keep up with it in order to maintain a desired speed. Jack Medica used the “rabbit" in his training at the University of Washington. The idea was borrowed from greyhound racing tracks. SHOWER GIVEN FOR MISS HELEN DOERR Miss Helen Doerr, who is to be married Feb. 22. was guest of honor at a bridge and shower given recently by Misses Rosemary and Eileen Brennan. Decorations were in Valentine colors. Guests included Mrs. Joseph Doerr and Miss Marie Doerr. mother and sister of the bride-to-be.

Song Writer Offers Two Early Works Mrs. Dovie 0. Jones Plays Own Compositions for A. A. U. W. BY ELIZABETH CARR Some three decades ago, a very young girl, Dovie Osborne, sat at the piano at her home in Mitchell, giving lessons to a pupil not very many years her junior. Today, Mrs. Dovie O. Jones sat at the piano at the home of Mrs. David L. Smith. 540 N. Central-ct, playing for the third time in public her first two original compositions. Mrs. Jones accompanied Mrs. Sidney Blair Harry, soloist, on a program at a meeting of the American Association of University Women. Music to “Do Spring Blossoms Take You Back Too, Dear?” and “A Jazz Lullaby” were composed by Mrs. Jones and words were written by her husband, the late Bertram T. Jones, 15 years ago for a reunion of the Mooresville High School Alumni Association. * The latter number, Mrs. Jones confesses, was considered “innocent syncopation,” and she admitted feeling a bit of jealousy concerning the object of the lullaby, as she w r as not the heroine. Mrs. Jones now has some 60 odd pieces to her credit. Some are songs and some are instrumental pieces. Six have been published. She always writes the music around the words, and said that “only once in 96 months do I find something I care to write about.” At first she extemporized elaborately and didn’t write down her compositions. She didn’t think she could write without any training. Later she studied with Horace Whitehouse, who now is head of the music department of the University of Northwestern; Mathilde Bilbro, a French woman in New York, and later with a teacher in Chicago. Mrs. Jones became a good friend of 14-year-old Margaret Wenzel while living in Harbor Springs, Mich., some years ago. “Margaret was a very brilliant young girl who thought beautiful thoughts and composed beautiful poetry for one so young.” The words of “I’d Like to Bea Vagabond” were written by Margaret and later set to music by Mrs, Jones. It is one of her favorites. Mrs. Jones’ musical inclination dates as far back as her great great grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. John George Pfrimmer, she said, brought the first piano to Indiana from Al-sace-Lorraine. Mr. Pfrimmer wrote music, was a minister, a doctor and was one of the lawyers employed by William Henry Harrison. The chapel in Croydon was named after Mr. Pfrimmer. Mrs. Jones’ mother sang and wrote poetry. Mrs. Jones’ daughter, Margaret Jones, now' teaches music in the music department in the Salem school. Miss Jones, following her graduation from De Pauw University last spring, studied violin in the Royal Academy. She appeared on the academy program with several of her own compositions. Mrs. Jones is assistant organist at the Irvington M. E. Church, is a member of the Mu Phi Epsilon Patroness group and the Indiana branch of the League of American Pen Women. She teaches piano daily. And, although she never had had a pupil older than she when she began her youthful career, last winter she had a 75-year-old woman studying piano with her.

Rhone wines are not to be confused with Rhine wines . . . but I guess you old connoisseurs know all

about the merits of grand French wines. The wild raspberry scent common to Rhone wines is magnified in the famous

m

red and white wines from the Hermitage vineyards. The red, with its rich purple tint, is said to be one of the most beautiful wines in the world. Hermitage resembles the well-known Chateauneuf-du-Pape in “roasted” flavor. Then, there is Cote Rotie. another highly regarded Rhone wine that has a bouquet reminiscent of the scent of violets. Oh, these French people . . . their delicacy and distinction! When you think fine wines (and what hostess greets this thought without some trepidation?) think of MR. GEORGE SINTZ and phone Ha. 2956. He will answer all your questions about serving wines and liquors and deliver the best of them to you promptly.

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

teresting story today about a piece of work that a woman has been doing for several years. At the suggestion of the late William Howard Taft, Mrs.

Ruth G. K. Strawbridge started the Philadelphia Help Bureau in her own home. It allows people who are in need of advice to come to her. She has really established a clearing house through which she has. directed people into the right channels for such assistance as they need. She studies her own city, knows the people who will be willing to see those who are in need of help, and sends her clients to them without even a letter of introduction. She feels it is better that they should tell their stories without another person preparing the way, and she has found herself gradually working up to a point where over 200 people visit her every week. Needless to say, this is more than she can handle, and so she has turned it over to a group of churches. I asked

&** ym

Mrs. Roosevelt

her wtoat percentage of her visitors she had been able to follow’ up. and about how many she felt had been permanently started on a basis which would permit them to proceed under their own momentum and solve their own difficulties. She said about four out of every ten were only temporarily bewildered, and were quite able to proceed by themselves when helped to think through their own situations. After that they climbed up hill again, instead of sliding steadily farther dowm. This struck me as extremely significant, for it would indicate that over one-third of the people who are in trouble, if they knew' of some place to go w'here really sane advice is available, might start themselves going in the right direction again. One amusing touch w r as her claim that many young people are intimidated at home. Their parents will not listen to them, but immediately begin to scold before the young people have a chance to explain their‘difficulties, or their point of view. Good listeners are always a Godsend and work of Mrs. Straw-bridge's kind may prove to be helpful at the present time.
