Most Indianapolis persons have shelved the idea of getting cut evening wraps and tuxedos for attending Symphony concerts and many of them haven't yet gotten around to thinking about the annual Gregg Farm Saddle Horse Roundup, but someone has to look ahead to the time when summer fun gets frozen out. The 1939-40 chairmen of standing committees of the executive board of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Women’s Committee were announced today by Mrs. Frederic M. Ayres, president. They believe it is none too early to start work on next year’s concert series. Committee chairmen include Mrs. Frederick G. Appel, ways and means; Mrs. H. H. Arnholter, state units; Mrs. Thaddeus R. Baker, women’s clubs; Mrs. James F. Carroll, publicity; Mrs. G. H. A. Clowes, contests; Mrs. J. A.

Mallory, state council; Miss Lucy Taggart, social activities, and Mrs. Herbert M. Woellen, luncheonlectures. Officers for next year, already announced, are Mrs. Ayres, president; Mesdames James W. Fesler, Goodman, Latham and Miss Taggart, vice presidents; Mrs. William H. Ball, Muncie, secretary, and Mrs. Sylvester Johnson, treasurer.

Work has been started on the Gregg Farm Roundup, too. The date has been set for Sunday, Oct. 8, and Alex Metzger, well known horseman and member of the Arlington Riding Club, has been appointed chairman by John Royse, president of the Indiana Saddle Horse Association. Mr. Metzger has started making lists of prospective committee chairman with whom he hopes to meet soon to lay the groundwork for the sixth annual event. Last year, about 500 horses participated in the all-day show. The movement was started six years ago by Charles Gregg and several other enthusiastic saddle horse owners.

JANE JORDAN-

EAR JANE JORDAN—My husband is a good man. He doesn't drink, smoke or step out that I know of. But he likes to pick at everything. I have a woman friend and every time she comes around he is always picking at her. I do everything I can to stop this but so far I haven't been able to. We've been married 10 years and have a little boy 8 years old. I love my husband and he seems to love me. I wish you would advise me what to do. I just hate to see my friend come for I know how he will pick at her. C. S.

Answer—Very few husbands like their wives’ women friends. There are plenty of exception to this statement, but I've observed enough cases to know that there is nothing unusual about your problem. For that matter wives are none too fond of their husband's men friends and blame them for distracting the attention of the male for themselves, and for taking him away from the home to fish, play golf, poker or share whatever interests men have in common which do not include women. Jealousy is at the root of the trouble. Each perscn likes to be all and everything to the partner he married and is apt to resent whatever detracts from his feeling of importance. It is childish, of course, and reminds one of the spoiled only child who cries when visitors play with his toys. Then, too, sometimes a husband may feel an obscure attraction for his wife’s women friends against which he defends himself by pretending disapproval. Again the reverse is true. A wife, alarmed to find herself responding to her husband's friends, may find fault with them unjustly in order to convince herself that they are not desirable men. The less attention you pay to this annoyance the better. After all it is really your woman friend’s problem. Why doesn’t she stay out of your husband's path? You have plenty of time for companionship with women when your husband is at work. Of course you enjoy feminine society and find a woman's viewpoint extremely congenial, but you don't have to talk about it before your husband. If your friend feels too uncomfertable around your husband her cue is not to visit you when he is home. Naturally there will be occasions when a meeting between the two is more or less unavoidable. At such times be careful not to ignore your husband or disparage his opinions in any way. Avoid a combine of you and your woman friend against him on any subject. Manage to show him some unusual little attention while she is present. Ask his opinion about something and hang on his words. Praise him in her hearing and make him feel grand, for the grander he {feels the less need he wili have to take the wind out of the sails of somebody else. JANE JORDAN.

VERY MONTH A steady stream of smart new merchandise comes to Block’s on its way to you. It goes without saying that we can’t anticipate your wishes by buying exactly the right amount of goods to supply your many demands. Always, in each department, the end of the month finds us with a few pieces of this, and a half-dozen of that; and we don’t like such incomplete assortments because they hinder the kind of good service you expect from us.

Once a month we gather up all such broken lines, and odds and ends, and mark them down to make them worth more to you than they are to us—just because they are incomplete in assortment.

Tomorrow is the opening of our June Month-End Clearance, and almost every counter, case and table in every department has its quota of incomplete assortments at drastically reduced prices. The items are all seasonable, and as you pass from department to department you will see many articles for which there is a need in your wardrobe or in your home.

Quantities are small, the reduc tions are big . . . and the best choice awaits the early shopper.
