Plants of State Are Glorified Native Flowers Blossom in Carefully Tended Gardens Here BY BEATRICE KURGAN society Editor SOUTHERN gardens have become hallowed by the natives' association with the past and and their eagerness to keep these memories alive by annual pilgrimages to the beauty spots. Park School Mothers' Association i' doing as much for Indianapolis.

Its annual garden tours for the benefit of the school scholarship fund includes visits to many estates glorifying native Indiana plants and natural scenes. Mr. and Mrs. Frederic M. Ayres built their home in the center of a woods on SunsetIn and have dis-

t urbfd the native state as little as possible. When the tour visitors inspect the Ayres estate they will see many of the wild flowers common to the rural areas in the spring. Bloodroot, hepatica and spring beauty color the slope which slides into the ravine where the swimming pool has been built. Mrs. Ayres, who says her garden is attractive “in spite of the puttering she has done,” hopes that the red bud and dogwood will be blooming for their visitors. Both the Ayres’ sons. Lyman and Frederic Jr., attended Park School. Lyman Avres was studying at Park when it was located at 16th-st and Central-av. Mr. Ayres was one of the mast enthusiastic parents, favoring the school's removal to the country.

While Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Noyes estate is known for its formal lose garden, much of the 32 acres has been planted with woodland flowers. The hills arp colored with many flowers during the early spring blossoming season. A circular rase garden is planted with 62 varieties, which reach their height of bloom in June. The well head in the center of the garden rame from Italy, apparently belonging to an old royal family, for a coat of arms is outlined in the iron frame. The Noyes named their estate ‘‘Lanesend" because it is situated at the termination of Sunset-ln. it it a Mrs. Frank D. Stalnaker's estate, "Questover, ’ near Highland Golf and Country Club, includes 60 acres, much of it preserved in a natural state. Guests enjoy sitting on the council ring overlooking the river and ravines, abundant with wild plants. Forty-two persons’ can sit on the 50-foot wall circling a cement platform on the hill. Mrs. Stalnaker’s friends enjoy the spot for picnicking. a tt a Mr. and Mrs. William Ray Adams’ home is not in the country, but you might think so, once within its boundaries. The brook running through the grounds is artificial, but you don’t think of that. The stream winds through the grounds. The craggy stones edging a pool at the source of the brook give the impression a spring is feeding the stream. The bank on one side is elevated and here is a quaint peasant girl holding birds in her hand. Robert Davidson. local sculptor, modeled the figure when he was studying in Munich. The Adamses can see the figure from the terrace near the house. They particularly delight in the figmine because it differs from the usual woodland rymphs dancing about garden pools. A Gazebo at the end of the formal garden provides a view over the entire grounds, planted with typical Indiana flowers and trees.

GIVES HANDS FOR STUDY

BY W. E. M’KENNEY American Brtdse League Secretary PRACTICALLY all contract bridge systems have become standardized. Bridge players have taken the best features from each of the systems, so that today any writer on contract who offers anew plan of bidding actually makes these accepted features the foundation of his new ‘‘system.’’ They are the principles adopted by the expert players. I have just completed a careful study of one of these new systems, published recently in the form of a "self-teacher.'’ It is "The Culbertson System SelfTeaeher,” prepared by the late Louis H. Watson and I. H. Bloom. Bloom has the ability to write about bridge so that it can be understood clearly by even the beginner in contract. Watson ranked as one of America's outstanding bridge players and writers. He had a phenomenal tournament record in 1935, having won three major tournaments, finished second in three and ranked third in three others. He wrote several books on bridge. His first great success, and still a popular seller was "Watson, on the Play of the Hand.” His latest book presents contract bidding in such simple ani understandable terms that I am pleased to present a series of 12 articles from this book. The first lesson deals with the opening bid of one in a suit. Before I go into this matter. I want to point out that too many players have become book-players. They learn tw make bids simply because the hand contains a certain number of high cards. While it is true that, from the standpoint of rules and regulations, an opening bid of one in a suit should be made with a hand conteina a potential rebid. for this gives a player *n important advantage for an opening attack. Before making an opening bid. you must be prepared for any response which your partner may make. This

Status of Women Is Discussed

Legal Rights in Indiana Are Explained to Voters’ League Indiana women are eligible for jury duty, but often their names are passed over in selecting talesmen. In Indiana a married woman's legal residence is that of her husband's, and the only way she legally can establish a separate residence is by court action. These points, and others explaining property rights, guardianship of children and legislation pertaining to women and children in industry, were discussed today at the Indianapolis League of Women Voters meeting, held at Rauh Memorial Library, under auspices of the group on government and legal status of women. Discussion points, held under direction of Mrs. Lee M. Gardner, are to be summarized and presented to the Indianapolis league at the annual meeting in May. The discussion, participated in by Mrs. Elsa Brant. Mrs. Ross Coffin, Mrs. Edna Keiser and Mrs. Joseph Stine, was the result of a prolonged study by group members. Next year the group is to visit courtrooms in the study of women's legal status, Mrs. William Snethen, group chairman announced. Mrs. Ross Ottinger spoke on “What Legal Status Means to Us.”

Feeling smart in your new spring outfit? So does the fashionably dressed matron of the Island of Sumatra when she winds yards of Dutch printed cotton about her waist and tope it with a black sateen bodice!

Like your new print frock? Probably not a bit better than the Tinguiana woman who wears a gaily colored blanket skirt with a bright embroidered eton jacket! Surprise and admiration of native ingenuity were expressed last nighc as Dr. Rebecca Parrish, former missionary, displayed native costumes at the American Association of University Women's dinner at the Woman’s Department Club. Members Are Models These feminine fashions of other countries were modeled by association members to illustrate Dr. Parrish’s address on “Education of Women Around the World —and How This Education is Changing Woman’s Status.” Probably few guests realized that their own costumes, boasting of all the trickery of spring. 1936, may

Take those high and mighty new banjo sleeves of this season. Their wearers might be misled in thinking that they were very Gainsborough. In all probability they were a borrowed design from the Filipino costume. They both stand out, high and wide and heavily starched. The present day fashion of moulding the coiffure with bowers of flowers for evening wear is only a reflection of the Javanese custom. For generations dancing girls in Java have adorned their heads with sprays of fresh gardenias as a part of their nightly costume. Old Japanese Style

Twists of material forming frogs on the new sports suits had their birth aeons ago on the wisteria printed silk kimonos worn by the women of Japan.
