MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt |

ASHINGTON, Thursday.—We reached Washington last night at 7 o’clock, and at 7:45 a few people came to dinner with us. Immediately afterward the advisory committee for the National Youth Administration met here. A group of 20 men and women, they gathered to-

one hour. As the evening progressed he became so interested that it never occurred to him that the hour allotted was long past. This morning Mrs. Scheider and I both realized that going away has to be paid for by facing a mountain of work. She has been trying at least to open the accumulated mail. I will have to face what she has put aside for me tonight or tomorrow, so today I have been more or less vacationing. I did spend half,an hour this morning having a whole new monetary system thrust upon me ,n the hope that I might interest either Secretary Morgenthau or my husband, and I must say the gentleman was very interesting. ’ I had a group of the younger executives of two departments for luncheon and they told me their various plans and hopes for meeting difficult problems. Since then Mrs. Morgenthau and I have had a long and lazy talk. Now the Postmaster General is coming in for a minute and a number of people are coming for tea, and so the daily round goes on.

jjether to tell the President the results of a two-day conference, in which they had surveyed all the work done and come to a conclusion on some recommendations for the future. The discussion was extremely interesting to me. I can not help feeling that in every community where the work is going on there will be closer co-operation through the Youth Administration between all the agencies interested in young people and the government, and that this will eventually be of great value. They left at 11:30 and I was much amused, for my husband had said that he could give them just

Delegates to Meet in Muncie Business, Professional Clubs Plan State Convention. Sevehty-nine Indiana Business i and Professional Women's Clubs are to send delegates to Muncie, May 15 to 17, for the state convention. They are to discuss the program adopted by the national federation this year, under the slogan "Women, unite for effective democracy.” The delegates are to represent approximately 3400 women. Business and professional women's clubs throughout the nation are to meet during the next three months, in state conventions, to take up the issues of economic freedom for Women and the removal of discriminations against women. Because the Federation believes that economic freedom of American women is in jeopardy, and that only through co-operation of a large, intelligent and articulate body of women can discriminations be combated effectively membership reports are to be stressed. Reports are to be made at the Indiana convention on work done for girls in the state, which has been carried on for them much as aid for boys has been handled by men’s service clubs. New officers for the Indianapolis club, elected at last night’s meeting, are Mrs. Nell C. Warden, president; Miss Sally Butler, first vice president; Mrs. Nell Merrick Thomas, second vice president; Mrs. Helen Dobbins, corresponding secretary; Miss Mary Jane Wells, recording secretary: Miss Clara E. Dux, treasurer, and Miss Jessie E. Bryant, auditor.

staying until, 1 and 2 in the morning? I have tried to show my mother that she is doing wrong. Daddy tells her he doesn’t want her to stay home all the time, but asks her to go with her own sex to some nice club. She says she isn’t doing wrens:: that she

knows how to be a lady. Do you think a real lady would do these things? My friends have begun to shun me and I can see why. I try to hold my head high and go on, but it is hard. Mother tells daddy and me that we are oldfashioned and that he should have married some of the country girls he went with. Please tell me if mother or daddy is right. LONELY. Answer—Conscious cruelty to another human being is worng. If your mother is staying out late at night on purpose to hurt you and your father, she is 100 per cent wrong, but isn’t it possible that she has problems of which you know nothing which cause her to snatch a few bright hours from an otherwise dull existence? Perhaps a jury of adults with all the facts in their hands would not judge her harshly. I do not know. As far as I am concerned, I condemn her most for burdening her daughter with worry about problems which are beyond the grasp of the young. Since your mother has not seen fit to hide her dissatisfaction from you, you might confer with your father on ways and means of making your mother’s life a little happier at home. He is old enough to know that a human being without a stern conscience does not drop one satisfaction unless another is put in its place. Perhaps he has been too much of a stay-at-home and your mother craves good times. If he went about with her more and surrounded her with gay friends, wouldn't tha,t do more good than scolding?

Whatever else you do, do not get it into your head that you will I be judged by your mother's conduct. What people think of you depends upon you and you alone. nun Dear Mane Jordan—l have been going with a girl for some time. When I first met her she was married, but got a divorce recently and we had planned to be married soon. Her ex-husband lives in another city, the same city where her mother lives. She got a telegram about midnight saying her mother was sick and left next morning without letting me know. She left word that she would write in a day or two. I am not able to trust this girl like I should, although I love her very much and think she loves me or she would not have broken up her home for me. I think the telegram was sent to get her away from me, as : her parents do not like me very much. WORRIED. Answer—When a woman has not been responsible in one mar- ' riage, we doubt her capacity for square dealing in another. Our doubts are not always wellfounded, but they exist, none the less. Since I do not know the young lady, I have no idea whether your lack of trust is founded on fact or fancy. I am afraid you will have to be the judge of that. If her mother acj tually w'as sick, then you have misI judged the girl. Simply test your mistrust by determining whether it arises from real hapc;:dngs or vague imaginings.

Girl Models Favor Cotton for Garments Cotton-clad girls are to listen to commencement programs, dine and dance, stand in the receiving line at teas, and enjoy summer sports this season. And they are to wear cotton because they prefer its smartness, the high school girls’ fashion show at the Wm. H. Block Cos. disclosed. Fifty-two girls from local high schools modeled costumes of their own selection in the show, while their admiring mothers and guests looked on. White peasant linen daytime frocks <*ith yokes of linen lace; checked gingham jumpers, and twopiece flowered challis dresses worn with white felt and Panama hats were outstanding choices of the models. Pastel shades, white with red trimmings and quaint prints were popular. Graduation dresses of white and pastel colored mousseline de soie, nets, laces and dotted Swiss were shown. One formal, inspired by Hollywood fashions, was of white challis, with flower garden printed pattern. Its quaint lines were accentuated by tie addition of an old-fashioned gold locket and chain necklace. While few silk and satins were shown, one girl selected a two-piece printed satin of banana background, with logwood brown dots. Its white yoke was of tucked net, with matching bands for trimming.

BY MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS Times Fashion Editor p COMING out in the open on balmy moonlight nights, are summery frocks like these! These Pi Phi co-eds from Butler University, Miss Jane Woodward (left) and Miss Mavilla Rainey, await their dance dates, tongues in cheeks! They are well aware that they are flaunting formats that may make every other girl on the campus detest all the glad rags she owns!

They are the newest crinkles of the season. Miss Woodward is smartness itself in starched linen lace of apricot hue. Its puffed sleeves with collar and cuffs of matching linen make it versatile enough for scores of evening affairs. The spectacular touch is its novel flash of black in belt and buttons. * * u MISS RAINEY tops the fashion domain in a leaf-strewn chiffon of green, white and Parma violet shades. The green ribbon straps, underarm fullness of the frock and its sweeping skirt make it young, clinging and frothy all at once. These two week-end clpthesclimaxes are only a hint of what glamorous things there are hidden away in local shops. There is no “discover” charge, so f:o and uncover a few finds with ;'Our own eyes! Mexican Music, Talk Scheduled by Local Group Mrs. Inez C. Samper, former Mexican resident; who recently returned to Indianapolis from a visit to Mexico, is to speak at the tea given by the Women's Missionary Society of the Fairview Presbyterian Church at 2 Wednesday at the Banner-Whitehill auditorium.

Action on League Is Deferred Federation of Women’s Clubs Compromise on Resolution. Bp I'nilrd Prm CORAL GABLES. Fla.. May 1 The council of the General Federation of Women's Clubs peaceably compromised today on the issue of the League of Nations by avoiding a vote on the questions of whether American participation in the League should be indorsed. Without dissent and without discussion the council turned a controversial resolution concerning the League ov.— to the department of international relations for “continued study of the principle* of co-operative action in world affairs as the best means of maintaining universal peace.” Other resolutions brought before the council passed. On only one were any dissenting votes registered —that reaffirming approval of the child labor amendment to the Federal Constitution. Eleven negative votes were drowned in a chorus of favorable vote*. Favor Aiding College Students The resolution memorializing Congress to continue Federal aid to college students was approved. Others passed Included one proposing reduction of world armaments, one outlining recommended changes for treatment of inmates of prisons and correctional institutions urging interstate co-operation against criminals, one asking members to study and promote strict law observance, and one presenting a program for lowering automobile deaths. The 500 delegates at the meeting heard Dr. Frank L. McVey. University of Kentucky president, stanchly defend Democratic government. “Persons who advocate dictatorship,” he said, “have forgotten our heritage. “They overlook the fact that il took a thousand years to develop and establish firmly the principles underlying parliamentary government. To throw this away for a dictator is to lose the benefits that have been brought by bloodshed and suffering through all the centuries.”
