Business Head at 80, Woman Likes Activity * ‘Work to Stay Young* Is Tip of Cosmetic Manufacturer BY LAURA LOU BROOKMAN CLEVELAND, May 19.—Mrs. Minnie D. Phillips of Cleveland hasn't -rnuch patienre with folks in the -orties or fifties who think they're *'too old” to try new jobs, move to new scenes, begin over if the past has been disappointing. Mrs. Phillips has her reasons—and very good ones! An alert, energetic business woman, president of two large enterprises which she manages personally, Mrs. Phillips recently celebrated her eightieth birthday. "It was one of the happiest days of my life, too,” she says. Bfgan Career at 48 Bring 80 years odd and actively engaged in business is not Mrs. Phillips' only claim to distinction. At 48, a housewife and mother, whose only activity outside caring for her family had been giving music lessons, she set out on a business career. At 64 sl\e founded a school of beauty culture from which 6000 students have been graduated. At 80 she divides her time between her schools and laboratory, thinks up new ways to expand the business. Keeps Active to Stay Young Mrs. Phillips, looking less than within 20 years of her age, believes It is incessant activity that has kept her young. “None of us,” she says, “uses our abilities to the fullest. The more we use them, the better they function and the better we keep in trim.” Born in lonia, Mich., her parents later moved to Grand Rapids. There she grew up, studied music, married. She had two daughters. Caring for them, cooking, sewing and doing the, housework filled the days, but she kept on with her music. She took some pupils, played the organ ichurch on Sundays. Clipped Beauty Articles Music she loved—and still love3, but there was one other interest close to her heart. “Ever since I can remember,” she says, “I have been interested in beauty preparations. I used to clip articles about them from newspapers and magazines. “I put these clippings in a box and I used to take them wherever I went. I’d read them over and over, plan how I’d change this and that, what I'd do if I had the chance.” Studying, experimenting, she finally made a jar of cold cream that approached her ideal. She took it to a druggist who agreed it was an excellent product, but scoffed at the idea that this inexperienced woman, without capital, could market it successfully. Perfected New Cold Cream "If you can do it,” he said, “you’ll be one in 10,000.” Undiscouraged, Mrs. Phillips set to work. She made the cold cream, packed it in jars, and distributed samples. Soon orders began to come in. She worked longer hours, employed assistants. Presently the business showed a profit. In 1920 she established the Cleveland School of Beauty Culture and nine years later opened the branch in Detroit. When the school needed a textbook and none on the market seemed satisfactory, Mrs. Phillips wrote a text that has gone through several editions. She personally handles all advertising and publications for the school and only recently finished the new 1936 bulletin.

SATURDAY’S INEXPENSIVE MENU LIMA bean loaf with green pepper and onion sauce Riced potatoes Mashed turnips Chocolate sponge pudding Now, the lima bean loaf really is something. I think you’ll find it both inexpensive and tasty. The green pepper and onion sauce is delicious. Actually, it’s a medium white sauce with fried onions and green peppers in it. LIMA BEAN LOAF FOR 4 OR 5 3 cups cooked, dried lima beans 3 pimentos, chopped (optional) 1 cup coarse bread crumbs 3 tablespoons shortening ’a cup milk 2 eggs 1 teaspoon salt J 8 teaspoon pepper *4 teaspoon grated lemon rind Few drops onion juice The beans should be measured after cooking. Mash the cooked beans almost to a paste and add the pimentos. Brov.n the crumbs in the shortening. Add the milk and cook for a few minutes to form a paste. Stir into the first mixture Separate the eggs and beat the whites stiff and the yolks until lemon colored. Add the yolks to the beaten mixture with the salt, pepper, lemon rind and onion juice. Then fold in the beaten wnites. Transfer to a well-oiled bread pan, place in a pan of hot water and cook until firm in a moderately hot (375) oven, allowing about 45 minutes. Serve with green pepper and onion sauce. As you can see. this is a fairly cheap dish. Dried limas are inexpensive and so are most of the ingredients on the list. The two eggs are the largest item. W.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY WM. E. M’KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary TT was one of those casual partnerships that occur so frequently in bridge games, and that explains in part the somewhat unusual contract reached on today's hand. But the play of the final contract by declarer was so flawless and unusual that it is well worth study by every bridge player. The hand proves the value of stoppers in an adversary’s long suit and the deliberate acceptance of ruffs when declarer is playing a hand, even though the opponents are long in trumps. Over four diamonds North should not have supported his partner with only three trumps. His better bid would have been four hearts. The problem at the bridge table, however, is how to make the contract which the partnership has bid. When West led the five of diamonds, South saw that he had a hard task ahead of him. He played the seven from dummy, hoping that it would force out whatever high honor East held, but the nine forced him to ruff, thus reducing his trump holding to three. To make the hand, a favorable club situation must be found, so the next play was a low spade to the king. A club was led and the ten forced the ace. West led another diamond, on which the jack was played. De-

clarer used his last small trump to ruff East’s queen. Now the spade ace was laid down, dfawing East’s last trump, and leaving West with two commanding trumps; but dummy still held the ace of diamonds. A small heart was led to dummy’s ace, and West discarded. Another club was played and the queen in the East hand was picked up by the second finesse. West could win only two tricks more, his two high trumps, tnd South fulfilled his contract only because he held up the stopper ;n the adverse suit, and accepted forces with his own weakened trump holding.

THE a INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BY MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS Times Fashion Editor

THIS might be somewhere east of Suez! In reality it was posed in the garden of Mr. and Mrs. Gerry Sanborn on Michigan-rd. Notice the pagoda and fountain in the background, the bright blooms in the garden! Birds and lovely ladies belong in enchanting gardens. Luckily in Indianapolis we have all three in profusion. Luckily, too, in consequenca we have numberless occasions when flower-laden frocks like these are appropriately worn.

Tunic styles in dramatic fabric combinations are in perfect order for important summer afternoons and informal evenings. Worn with wide brimmed or tiny hats they were first in the choice of the fashionably dressed women seen at the Rockaway Steeplechase spring meet recently held at Cedarhuist, L. I. tt a THE brunet in the scene takes life easily and picturesquely in a bright challis print of circular tunic worn over a black sheath skirt. Daisies, buttercups, cornflowers and poppies bloom in glorifying abundance on this full swinging frock. The colors vie with nature’s own. The sailor of black panamalac does charming things to the ensemble with its crown band of flowers, and seductive dropping lines that shield young eyes from bright sun rays. The honey-haired bit of femininity on the right is as crystal cool as the stream that flows in the garden . . . wearing a sheer dress of log brown beneath a delightful tunic coat of floral crepe. Fullshouldered sleeves have high place in fashion eyes in the elbow length version. The pert garden hat is of natural toned toya straw with narrow brown bow and bandings. Smart two-toned pumps are of beige buckskin with dark brown trim. Dress and decorum are bound to prevail at some hours of these summer days . . . and when they do, bedeck yourself in high-colored tunics and meet your party dates with cool abandon!

You should hea) the compliments paid THE COLLEGIATE SHOP and its selection of clever clothes. Better still, you should see these fashions for yourselves and get your share of the values . . . and compliments. Darling * gray and lilac and all pastel crepe frocks are on sale this week for $5 and $7 and I’m told these have been priced up to $16.75. Yes, they’re bargains and simply because the shop is making room for the avalanche of cottons arriving every day. (These are smart, too, especially black linens, the last word in New York.) I overheard one wise shopper recognize these sale dresses, “I have never seen such pretty dresses for the price,” she said. So, take my advice and “follow the trend of youth to THE COLLEGIATE SHOP.” 16 N.

portioned hose are like the newest invention of any kind ... we wonder how we ever got along without them. Little Women are among the happiest endorsers of this improved hosiery. They choose Petite knowing that it is proportioned just for them and that Petite will fit equally well at ankle, calf and knee. You see the fit is in the knitting. And—when hosiery fits better, it wears longer. If you are tall, you’ll call for Regal. And if you are nice and average in size, you’ll want Princess. I hope you don’t mind my repeating myself but just in case you’ve missed this fact, better go quickly and quietly to your nearest Gordon dealer— MAROTTS SHOE STORE.

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

Monday.—Up early this morning to see some of my family off, first the Milhollands and their small boy left by car at 8 a. m., and then my daughter-in-law and Bill. I hated to see Bill go as he is such a sweet child, but they are going on another trip abroad before long. His mother says that she might as well travel now, because once Bill goes to school they will have to stay in one place. It took me a little while to get everybody’s plans straightened out for the day, and then the dogs and I went for a ride. A perfectly glorious morning and I was home and dressed by 11:30. After seeing Mrs. Helm, who is going away soon for the summer and feels that she has to leave everything in order to give us the least possible trouble, I started on the day’s mail with Mrs. Scheider. Mr. and Mrs. Porter, three young friends of Mrs. Gray's, and Mrs. William Hard came to lunch with us. We had it out on the porch and I was glad I had not planned to have it out under the trees for there were several ominous rumbles of thunder and the marquees, which had already been put up for this afternoon's garden party, were hastily taken down. f Rain is coming down in buckets. I know it is much needed but I wish it had waited till 5:30! However, this garden party can be held indoors very comfortably so I am not going to worry. Hull House, in Chicago, has just sent me a sweet little piece of pottery done by one of their young sculptors, Warren Gilbertson. Between Hull House in Chicago and Henry Street Settlement and Greenwich House in New York, I am going to have a very attractive collection of pottery some day. At 2:30 a group of women from Baltimore—the Eutaw Place Temple Sisterhood—’were received, and at 5:30 the new Bulgarian minister fe coming to tea. (Copyright, 1936, by United Feature Syndicate.

‘Be Natural,’ Is Advice to Girl Afraid of What Others Think

Dear Jane Jordan: I am 22 years old, attractive, pretty, well educated, healthy and capable. I dress tastefully, can cook well, am thrifty, of religious nature and can get along well with any one. I hold a good job and meet plenty of well educated, intelligent, healthy young gentlemen. But I have no men friends and never have had. I try to be charming; I watch girls who have dates; I study masculine nature. Up until now I have been unconcerned about it, trying to direct my attention to making myself more fit for a young man, and thinking one would come along who w-ould like me. None have! I’ve tried running after the bashful ones and away from the bold ones. I seem to attract the highest type of manhood. They come to see me once, perhaps twice, and never call again. Can you tell from this brief outline what I lack? Could you give me a few definite rules for making the boys like me without making them feel that I’m in love with them? Just now there is a particular young man whom I see every day. On our first date I tried to make him forget everything except the good time he was having. Since then he speaks kindly, respectfully, ana goes his way. If I push myself, won’t he think that I’m hinting for another date and that I’m just crazy about him? I hold the friendship and respect of young girls, old ladies and older gentlemen. How is the approach to young men different? J. ft ft ft Answer: The first thing that comes to my mind is “no sex appeal,” but that won’t help you much unless you know why, and I confess I don’t know why. The general tone of your letter is extremely selfsufficient and self-contained. I have underlined fragments of three sentences which may give some clue to the situation:

“Try to direct my attention to making myself more fit,” “rules for making the boys like me without making them feel that I‘m in love with them,” “If I push myself won’t he think I’m hinting for another date, and that I'm just crazy about him?” nan These lines suggest a walled-ln personality afraid to let itself go for fear of what people will think. You step on yourself and inhibit every warm, generous out-flowing act of friendship lest young men will believe you are trying to hook them. Like a snow-bound princess you wait for the prince to break through the icy barriers and carry you away by force. What fairy tales left the deepest impression on you as a child? In spite of the tone of selfesteem which your letter has, I believe it is comparable to whistling in the dark. Underneath it all you doubt that you’re worth having. You demand nothing from men because you fear you’re worth nothing. Over-eager to prove that you expect nothing, you carry your independence too far. You forget the average male loves the woman who makes him feel his own strength and superiority. You forget Ben Franklin’s discovery that the way to make people like you is to let them do a favor for you. Let yourself go. Be natural. Don’t be afraid 'to be provocative. One of the most charming things any man finds in any girl is her enthusiastic response to himself. How can this young man think you are running after him if you do not call him up, make his dates for him or throw yourself in his path? Admiration and appreciation do not constitute pursuit and few men are won without generous applications of both.
