VACATION SETTING—Indianapolis Country Club is the oldest of the city's country clubs.

AL THIS YEAR Indianapolis Country Club, pioneer of the local group, has been celebrating its 60th birthday with fanfare.

This summer season has brought members and guests galore to revel in the club's. program and take advantage of its swimming pool, golf course, tennis courts, playground equipment. A day at the club wraps up a real vacation in a single trip. Numerous special summef events are attractions of the “country club in the country” west of the city, near Clermont. 2 ” ” SPECIAL PARTIES, including dancing, are arranged for the adults twice a month. There's all kinds of class -and individual instruction in the sporting field. A family buffet dinner is served each Sunday. And all types of golf events are set up for men and/or women. At monthly luncheons the club ladies try their skill at bridge and ecanasta. A wading and swimming pool make it possible for all ages to “take to the water.”

This is the second in The Indianapolis Times picture series on summer fun at local country clubs.

Local Gals Know T

By AGNES H. OSTROM MEN CLAIM they know their figures—both feminine and financial. But

so do the gals. They are “up” on the beauty secrets of keeping a figure. ‘Now they've whipped the financial knowhow. At least that's the report straight from Indiana's collector of internal revenue. And Collector Ralph W. Cripe should know for it's his own bureau over in the Fed- . eral Building that’s made our local femmes so figure-con-scious this year. ” » » ” IT ALL started Jan. 1 when the new social security on household ' employees went into effect. This tax covers such domestic help as maids, laundresses, cooks, gardeners, janitors, furnacemen and the like. That falls precisely in Madame's department. “The reports filed by Indiana women have been surprisingly correct,” agree Mr. Cripe and Wilbur O. Plummer, his assistant. Apparently the ladies caught on pretty guickly too. “Our office was swamped with calls in April,” confess the two. “Now it's unusual for tht office to have any,” they say. April's last day was the first quarter deadline for filing and payment of the three per cent tax on total cash wages paid to help. This includes one and one-half per cent employer tax plus one and one-half employee tax. The latter is deductible from wages paid out. But the tax gentlemen again are agreed that most women simply assume that amount themselves. ” °r 2 BIGGEST problem to the houséwives at first was the question of liability. It was clarified in what is called the “$50—24-day test.” That means an employee must have been paid at least $50 in cash wages in the three-month quarter for which the tax is filled AND must have worked at least 24 days within that same period. Food, clothing, lodging and car tokens are not considered “cash.” Hoosier housewives have

IT FIGURES—Mrs. F. A. Mclaughlin, 7979 N. lliinois St., totals her employer's quarterly tax

conformed to the national pattern of ‘responding cooperatively” say, the tax col-’ lectors. Together the Indiana ladies

filed 10,023 returns on the simple envelope type Form 942. Since 80,000 is the number of social security returns regularly filed in the state that figure was amazingly close to the 10,000 estimated here for the first. period. It's too early for figures from Washington on Indiana’s percentage compared with the national average. However, taxes collected from Indiana with its 2.61 per cent national population usually

run about 2.5 per cent of the national total. The percentage on domestic returns is expected to be about the same, u n ” NATIONALLY the first quarter's tax netted more than one-half million new social security: returns for the country. Locally it meant the addition of some five or six employees to the -100-member staff of the wage and excise tax department where Form 942 is processed. Deadline for filing and payment on the second quarter—April, May and June—is

return for household employees for the second quarter deadline, July 31. July 31. Returns should total about the same as before, think Mr, Cripe and Mr. Plummer.

But they do have some ad-

vice for housewives not liable this second quarter. Simply write across the form, “No employees this quarter,” and mail back the form. If housewives don't expect to pay taxable wages in the future they should simply write “Final return” across the face of the form and return.

However, the men aren't anticipating ‘any last-minute difficulties this quarter. They: think the gals have it all figured out.

Summer's Lazy Days Are Made More Pleasant By Parties of Informal, Small-Scale Type

By KATY ATKINS THE SUMMER DOL-~ DRUMS have hit local society in a big way, but it is very pleasant. Entertaining, never too formal, has taken an even more relaxed pattern with the hot weather. Small gatherings for lunch followed by canasta, or more likely samba, are very popular as are lazy afternoons around the few private swimming pools. Mrs. Post Milliken had several friends in for a picnic

in her attractive garden on Friday. The largest parties seem to be family ones of which there have been several recently. Mrs. Paul Weer gave a birthday party for her husband “at Woodstock one evening and must have been bursting with pride at having so many of her handsome children together. Jean and Eldon Alig, Ann and Frank Alig, Barbara and Vincent were all there. Other guests were Percy Weer, Dottie Ann and Earl Clark and Mrs. Ronald Fisher. “Mrs. Woodstock” outdid herself on the cake. Served on a revolving stand that played “Happy Birthday,” it was trimmed in green icing with pink roses that glittered in a miraculous way. Gelatine, perhaps? Later everybody went to the Weers’ house where Paul opened presents and they all played 20 questions. On Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. Weer left on a motor trip which will include a stop at the University of Wisconsin to see Agnes, who is taking a couple of summer courses.

Our Readers Write—

“Y READ YOUR column every Sunday and enjoy it. I would appreciate it if you could get the recipe for Spanish hamburgers. I used to get them at Southport High School lunchroom. They certainly are good.”’--Mrs, Irma Jenkins; Bargersville. os n uo DEAR ORW: I've heard many people talk about pizza pie. I've often wondered how to make it, and would like a method from someone.—Mrs, A. O. i ” n ” DEAR ORW: My wife makes the most horrible iced tea I've ever tasted. She always says she makes it the same each day, but it’s never the same each time. Some days it's clear and the next day it-will be so muddy looking it practically has a scum on it. If any houewife can give my wife. a tip, I'd like

who are too busy in the winter to catch. Mrs. Brandt Downey and I had a leisurely lunch on the porch the other day. I was especially interested in hearing about her annual trek to. the Girls’ State in Bloomington where she serves as adviser for its House of Representatives. Dorothy Gardner of Ft. Wayne acts in the same capacity for the Senate. Six hundred : twenty-two girls were there this year.

Energetic OTS OF people still have plenty of energy to burn. Along with the golfers and tennis players are the gardeners and, no pun intended, Sherry Gardiner is the most ambitious one I have seen. Having sold the house on 52d St. and got all settled in the new one farther out, she was back at the old stand cutting the grass the other day. Wonderful for the new owners to find the yard in good order, but it must be

for 10 days and stir every morning. Mix two ounces crushed all spice and two sticks cinnamon broken in bits with petals. Put lid on jar and keep tightly covered for six weeks. Then mix one ounce each of coarsely ground mace, cloves, cinnamon and allspice. Add one ounce orris root crushed and shredded, two ounces dried lavender flowers and one ounce lemon verbenas. Mix all together, add a drop of oil of roses and finally moisten with a gill of good cologne. This time add a few fresh rose petals or once a year a drop of oil of roses. Open the jar and stir for a sweet perfume. Then keep carefully closed until used again. —Mrs. D. 8. ” ” o _ THANKS TO Mrs. Ruth Gard, ' Knightstown, and Mrs. Elmer Sutton, for their jelly roll recipes - to Mrs.

niece from Pasadena with her for a visit. She is Sylvia Atherton Hewitt. On Wednesday her aunt entertained for her with a luncheon. Nancy and Peter Hackleman have just returned from Nantucket which was bad for our morale as it makes the time before we get there seem doubly long. They had a sort of family reunion, too, as Mary Fairbanks and her son are visiting Mary's sister, Terry Metcalf, who has’ a cottage at Siasconset. Mr. and Mrs. John Beard Washburn and Bert Reade have been visiting Mrs. Van Camp Mayer at Walloon Lake.
