Proceeds of Dance to Support Guild’s Hospital Activities

Members of St. Vincent’s Organization Turn Out for Supper Party Held at I. A. C. Saturday Night. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor ■jV/fORE children are to have their days in the hospital brightened. More babies are to have complete layettes when their mothers can't afford to buy them. More needy mothers are to have their worries eased. That’s because St. Vincent’s Hospital Guild repeated its traditional supper dance at the Indianapolis Athletic Club Saturday night. The money paid in by members and friends for the party and program is to help guild members purchase equipment and supplies for “guest”

patients at St. Vincent Hospital and to provide entertainment for the children’s ward. Mrs. L. G. Druschel, a member, danced the evening away with many hours of work for its success behind her. Her black net jacket over a black skirt was embroidered in white, the design flowery and spring-like. Mrs. George Hilgemeier Jr. defied the weather and wore a spring formal of yellow and brown striped cotton with a brown jacket. She wore a garland of brown pansies in her hair. Mr. and Mrs. Norman Kevers, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ferriday Jr. and Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Griffith formed a party. Mrs. Kever’s aquamarine satin gown had its bodice gathered full in front and pointed revers flared over the shoulders. Mrs. Paul Lee Hargitt’s powder blue chiffon gown, dotted with large white circles, had a frilly flQunce

which swished about her ankles. Mrs. Frank Down, city council member, turned from civic problems to the lighted thoughts of a party. The blue violet and green flowered printed chiffon of her gown was fluffed into rufflai to form short sleeves. Mrs. William A. Brennan in the same party wore a brown lace gown, with sleeves of matching net.

The Tudor Hall Prelude Club’s presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “H. M. S. Pinafore” gave the young students an excuse to “stay up.” Pigtails and hair ribbons of grade school pupils were as numerous as the more sophisticated curls of big sisters from the high school. Miss Jane Drake was one of the ushers. Her burnt orange chiffon gown had a skirt and cape collar swirling with knife pleats. Miss Judy Preston, another of the high school students, showed guests to their seats. Her gray and orange printed frock had orange buttons down the front of the tailored bodice. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore B. Griffith saw their daughters, Helen and Sylvia, in the operetta. Helen sang a solo role. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Metzger and their son Ab enjoyed Dorothy Metzger’s able handling of a comedy character. Dr. and Mrs. Willis D. Gatch were there to see their daughter Susan as a member of the sailor chorus. Mr. and Mrs. Harlan J. Hadley and daughter Barbara beamed with pride as the audience applauded Kathryn Hadley’s portrayal of Captain Corcoran, commander of H. M. S. Pinafore. Mrs. Thomas L. Neal and Mrs. Robert C. Winslow were other mothers on hand to see their daughters perform. # u Mrs. Hortense R. Burpee, Miss Estelle Rauh Burpee, Charles S. Rauh, Mrs. Mary P.

Girl May Regard Mother as Rival, Jordan Explains

Jane Jordan will study your problems for you and suggest a solution in this column. Write your letter now! Dear Jane Jordan—My 17-year-old daughter is very cross and ill to every one. She has all the things that any girl in a working family can have. She attends high school and has the privilege of company,

but all at once she will pout and insult all her friends by being rude or not speaking. Her father and I have talked to her and tried to show her she is robbing herself more than any one else. She will not do one thing I suggest. This is an example of her attitude: She was

<W JS

Jane Jordan

calling on a girl friend and I told her she should put on a clean dress. She stayed home and didn’t see her lrierd for a week rather than mind. She will talk to other members of the family but if I come in she will not finish a sentence. If I buy hei anything she will wear very badly mended clothes rather than accept the ones I have bought. But she will take the money if I give it to her, and is proud of my selection, providing her father or brothers make the presentation. If she discovers I bought it she never touches it again. I would be glad of any kind of help from any one. WORRIED MOTHER. Answer I suggest that your daughter regards you as a rival and her competitor for the affection of her father and brothers. I do not know, of course, but her behavior indicates a secret resentment against you. Her attempt to discredit your taste in dress, her disregard of your wishes, shows plainly that she wants to be regarded as a person in her own right and not as her mother’s daughter. Her refusal to speak in your presence suggests that she doesn’t believe you have any respect for her ideas. She may not actively recognize her own jealousy and the chances are she would deny it if accused. I am sure you have not deliberately incited her antagonism and are unaware of what you do to cause such a feeling. Naturally you have been obliged to thwart her wishes from time to time, but if your intervention was reasonable and just we do not expect a normal girl to cherish her disappointment. A person outside the family group might win her confidence and influence her in the right direction. A doctor, a psychologist or just a warm friend on whose symPermanents $3 to $lO Ten Expert Operators \l jy 3”FWOdd Wlows Bldg.

pathy she could rely would be a valuable ally. Has her father tried talking to her alone, without reference to you? If his influence is greater than yours, he might be able to solve the problem. He ought not to correct her before you, and should establish himself as her ally, not yours, if he wants to be successful. Your cue is to make your daughter feel more important in the household. Avoid all criticism for the time being or conceal criticism with a compliment. Instead of suggesting a clean dress say, “You look so pretty in such and such a dress, wouldn’t you like to wear it?” Defer to her judgment, ask her opinion, consult her wishes and by all means let her select her own clothes. The more decisions she makes for herself, the better. Introduce her to your friends, be courteous to her friends, ask her aid instead of issuing orders. Call the attention of the entire family to any achievement, no matter how small. Listen to her conversation and never discourage her by holding her ideas in low esteem. In other words, treat her exactly as if she was an adult in the family whose friendship and co-operation you wish to win. Avoid all reference to “my little girl” and any attitude which suggests it.

Defender of Youth Suggested

Women Lawyers Consider Problems Arising in Courts. Juvenile delinquency in Indianapolis and Marion County would be lowered if a woman public defender were added to the juvenile court staff, members of the Indiana Association of Women Lawyers believe. Need for a woman in juvenile court as a defender of youthful law violators, as well as a woman juvenile court judge, was stressed Saturday night at the annual spring dinner of the organization at the Columbia Club. Miss Metta Davis and Miss Nell Dunkle, both investigators for the Marion County Juvenile Court, who were guests at the dinner, agreed with Indianapolis women lawyers in a panel discussion following the dinner that children’s problems best could be solved by women authorities. Both Miss Davis and Miss Dunkle have been juvenile court attaches for 16 years. Believe Women “Wiser” “While a man understands some of the problems of juvenile delinquency, a woman would be able to handle them more wisely,” Miss Dunkle told association members. “Women realize that no child is delinquent of his own fault,” Miss Davis said. “Child delinquency is the result of child neglect. No child benefits by being committed to a penal institution. He learns more evil and his defects are not corrected but aggravated.” Miss Helen Ciress, Chicago, former president of the Woman’s Bar Association of Illinois and national secretary of the organization, was guest speaker. She told of the work of the Chicago bar association in defending youths brought into the Chicago boys’ court, and described the fight the association has made against alleged police brutality in questioning delinquents. Speaker Blames Society “Society is to blame for youthful crime,” Miss Ciress explained. “We build costly, beautiful correctional buildings to house young boys and girls. If the money were spent for prevention of juvenile delinquency it would be the best thing that could be done for the United States. “Newspapers should begin a campaign for prevention.” Out-of-town guests at the meeting included Mrs. Charline McGuire, Muncie, Business and Professional Woman’s Club president; Miss Telia Haines, Sullivan, and Mrs. Gretchen Hall Cole, Vevay. Miss Jessie Levy, president, was in charge of the meeting. Other officers are Miss Haines, vice president; Mrs. Mary E Ramier, second vice president; Miss Mary Lou Patterson, recording secretary, and Miss Esther Schmitt, secretarytreasurer.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary IT is well known that, in those cases where disastrous penalties have been paid as a result of overbidding, the cause of all the trouble has been the fact that somebody has made a forcing bid without any assurance that the combined hands would fit well enough to justify such optimism. For that reason, the expert player very rarely forces. By means of constructive bids, invitational bids, reversal of suits and semi-forces, he tells his partner that he has a very strong hand, and permits his partner to decide whether, in view of this fact, bidding should go on. Therefore, this principle has now been evolved: Where the responder has not passed originally, and makes a simple suit response, his call is a forcing bid for one round. st n a OF course, we all are familiar with the principle that a simple one-over-one overcall is forcing for one round. Under the new rule, this is also true of a bid of two in a lower ranking suit, over an opening bid of one in a higher ranking suit. The result of this is twofold. First, it voids the old requirement that you must respond with a jump overcall, when holding 3Vi

Rites for Couple to Be Today Miss Hope Pfafflin to Marry Texan at Propylaeum. Spring flowers in the decorations and jewel colored bouquets for the bridal attendants are to contrast with the traditional white setting at the wedding ceremony of Miss Hope Pfafflin and William J. Lochhead, San Antonio. Tex., tonight at the Propylaeum. Dr. Jean S. Milner is to officiate. The bride is to wear a white satin gown trimmed in the Brussels lace used on her mother’s wedding gown. The ceremony is to be held in the west parlor, which is to be decorated with Easter and Madonna lilies against a screen of southern smilax and cibotioum fern. White tapers in two seven-branched candelabra are to light the scene. The bride is to enter with her father. Dr. Charles A. Pfafflin, to the altar through an aisle formed by standards of Easter lilies and cathedral tapers. Miss Pfafflin’s tulle veil is to fall from a lace tiara. Her round arm bouquet is to be of lilies of the valley, tied with satin ribbon. _ Bridesmaids Are Named Her bridesmaids, Mrs. Paul Hoffman, Birmingham, Mich.; Mrs. Guerney Mann, Richmond; Mrs. William Kern and Mrs. Jeremiah Cadick, are to wear pastel shaded gowns. They will carry jewel colored arm bouquets of nemesia, purple anemone, pansies, azalia, yellow genista, blue and pmk centurea and wine, red and pink carnations. Dryden Eberhardt, Wilmette, 111., is to be best man and Havens Kahlo, Joseph Wallace and Neil Estabrook are to be ushers. Mrs. Eberhardt, the bride’s cousin, is to sing. Her flat colonial corsage is to be of forget-me-nots, Sweetheart roses and single white hyacinth. The Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music concert trio is to play bridal music. Mother to Wear Chiffon Mrs. Pfafflin, the bride’s mother, is to wear a violet chiffon gown with dark and light violet corsage.

Mr. Lochhead, son of Dr. and Mrs. Lochhead, is a Butler University graduate and member of Woodstock Club.

honor tricks and a biddable suit. Now it is merely necessary to overcall and if your partner signs off, you can force or make some constructive bid in the second round. The second result deals with the “principle of preparedness” that I have discussed previously. Holding a five-card minor with less than a trick and a half, your proper response over your partner’s opening major suit is one no trump, since by bidding the minor you may force your partner to continue bidding with a weak hand. In view of the foregoing, how would you bid today’s hands? HAND NO. I HAND NO. 8 A 10 9 AQO *875 * J 9 5 ♦Q10543♦ A K 10 5 4 *A32A A Q 2 18 In both cases, your partner has opened the bidding with one spade. With the first hand, your proper response is one no trump. Your partner, with a weak hand, may pass if he desires. If you were to bid two diamonds, your partner would be forced to respond and, since you have promised him a potential rebid, you now could not very well pass. With Hand No. 2, the proper response is two diamonds. After your partner has responded, you are in position to bid either two no trump or three no trump, or to raise your partner’s suit, as you see fit. Today, when you respond with a jump overcall over your partner’s opening bid, you are indicating slam possibilities. QUALITY . . _ PE £? CT HOSIERY NISLEY CO. EAr 44 N. Penn. St. J* Pr>
