WOMEN AND THEIR ACTIVITIES
EDITED By NETTIE GEORGE SPEEDY
Hello there, Evelyn, how are you? I am glad that you
have returned home. Did you leave your mother and father
well ? I know that you had a good time, but we missed you
eo much. So your sister is going to Europe. That will be a
wonderful vacation for her. That reminds me about reading
In the Metropolitan News about Idalee McGill sailing on the
Normandie last Friday for Europe. Gee, but I certainly got
a thrill out of that. Just imagine on the largest ship in the
world, and one breaking all records for speed. I guess that I
shall have to content myself by just looking at a picture of
the ship, for I will never be able to go on it. The fact of the
matter is that thing are so dull with us that I cannot even go
to Gary. t: -
oay, K11 *• pu suuuiu nave uccu
here to the Theodore Charles Stone
song recital. You are such a lover
of everything cultural and artistic.
The setting was one of the prettiest
that I have ever seen. It was a
scene of unparalleled beauty. On
the stage there was a large stand
ing vase of red and white snap
dragons. The splendor of the af
fair will live long in my memory.
There was a large and appreciative
audience.
They greeted Mr. Stone quite en
thusiastically when he appeared,
dressed in “tails,” white gloves, and
a gardenia. Mabel Sanford Lewis
was his accompanist. She wore a
beautiful gown of red and white,
with a large corsage of gardenias
on the shoulder. The girl ushers
wore corsages of red and white car
nations, and each man had a white
carnation on his coat.
The Ushers
The ushers were Ethel Helena
Smith, Alberta M. Pope, Neota
McCurdy Dyett, Gustava McCurdy
Martin, LaUrsa Snelson Hed
rick, Joe Webster, Vernon Wins
low and George Hutchinson, all
musicians. The color scheme of
white and red, was carried out ar
tistically in every detail. The as
si-tant artists were Walter Gos
se ;te, at the organ, and Rufus
Heathington, the violinist. Among
the patrons were a lot of our
friends: Helen Abbott, Louise Bris
coe, Mr. and Mrs. N. K. McGill,
Dixie Brooks, Melba Davis, Dr. Lil
lian Dove, Dr. and Mrs. U. G.
Dailey, Judge and Mrs. Albert B.
George, Wendell and Lorraine
Green, Mayme Mason Higgins, and
Jeanette Triplett Jones, Pauline
Lee, Bertha Lewis, and Mr. and
Edward M. Sneed.
All the social celebs were ou. In
the audience I saw many prominent
_ teachers^ _doctors, lawyers, musi
"Wans, and artists. It was an eve
ning well spent. I hear that Mr.
Stone is going to give another re
cital the last of the month. This
time he will render a recital in cos
tume. I do not know where he will
give it, but wherever it is, I will
get a couple of tickets so you will
be my guest that evening
Mrs. H«- *iere
Did you see Prof. Hope’s wife
while she was here? She looked
fine. No it was not a social visit.
She came to attend the funeral of
her brother “Dolph” Burns. He was
a wonderful charcter. He was the
oldest watchmaker in Chicago. He
could make a watch in entirety. He
worked in the Loop for 51 years.
He was with one firm 23 years and
with another for 28 years. That
is building up some repuation for
efficiency, isn’t it?
She left Friday for home. Mrs.
George Clevelad Hall gave a thea
ter party for her. Of course it had
to be a small one. Harry Pace’s
wife, whom I always call “Pretty
Girl,” took them down in their new
Packard. There were just four of
them, Mrs. Hope, Mrs. Edna Den
ison Abbott, Mrs. Pace and Mrs.
Hall.
un, I H ten you wnu nsacu me
about you: “Jack” Kennedy. He
told me some of the most interest
ing things about Tuskegee. I know
that you would have enjoyed it
since you used to live there. They
are trying to establish another U.
S. Veteran’s hosptial at Hampton.
Dr. Kennedy said that nearly ev
ery day someone would speak of
your dad. There goes the operator
saying: “Drop another nickel,
please.” You can talk all day to
someone dunning you for money,
but when it comes to a friendly
conversation, she has no heart.
Well, I’ll see you real soon. So long,
honey.

PRIMITIVE CLOTHING
Primitive women were the orig
inal inventors of clothing. Their
work had to do with food, shelter,
and clothing. Strong hands,
sharp teeth, and invented tools
made of rough stone, thorns,
sticks, and bones were her only
weapon. Leaves, rushes, barks
of trees and skins of animals form
ed the first clothing. Thorns,
sticks, bones and stones were fash
ioned into pins and later into need
les by which the crude clothing
was held together. Hats were un
known during the primitive age,
but later, basktes, placed over the
heads in an inverted position, sup
plied that need.
The bone, needle, awl, and stillet
to, so useful to primitive women
were highly prized and often
prized and often beautifully deco
rated. Primitive tools of great
beauty have been found in the
tombs of Peru. Deep down under
the mud of the Alpine lakes of
Switzerland are found primitive
homes. These people were of the
early stone age, but possessed well
advanced ideas of spinning and
weaving as Indicated by remnants
of cloth, hanks of linen, wool, and
other yarns found in the homes.
The fabrics are similar to those
found in the cliff dwellings of
southwestern United States. Text
iles of great beauty made of wool
and cotton yarns, have been left
by the Incas who dwelt in countries
south of the United States. The
primitive Eskimos wore the raw
skins of animals for clothing. Later
they trimmed their garments with
fur and applique embroidery.
During the primitive age the
same type of clothing was worn by
male and female. The customary
style was a sort of skirt worn
wrapped around the body and fas
tened at the waist with a crude
pin. Later, the trunk of the body
was clothed. As living conditions
improved, a desire for more and
different clothing was felt, and im
proved clothing became a means of
decoration and comfort, and of
showing the distinction of sex or
classes. Thus the creation of
marked designs became necessary.
The distinction of dress was prac
ticed very, very rigidly in the mid
dle ages, and though moderated,
is still a part of modern civiliza
tion. Among the Navajo Indians
of today, this custom is carefully
observed. The dress of the mar
ried women is different from that
of the unmarried women. Special
costumes are used for ceremon
ials, for warriors, and medicine
men. Special designs are used for
the Chief’s blankets.
The first form of sewing began
with the invention of the thorn and
bone needles. Changes in the modes
of living made various develop
ments in dress necessary. The
development made necessary the
production of fabrics of simple
and intricate design, crude in the
beginning, but gradually develop
ed into astonishing creations of art
and beauty, founded on the primi
time idea.

The Science of
Contract Bridge
By ANDREW L. HILL
ARTICLE IX
THE DISTRIBUTIONAL COUNT
I have set forth in previous ar
ticles explanation of honor-tricks,
long-suit tricks and short-suit
tncKs. mere is
still a differ
ent source of
tricks length
in partner’s
bid suit
trumps, con
fined to the re
sponding hand,
from these
combined sour
ces of trick
possibili ties
the distribu
tional value of
the hand is ar
rived at.
When part
Andrew L. Hill
ner bids a suit
of which responding hand holds
four or more smaler cards the val
ue of partner’s holding in that suit
is promoted. In other words, the
increased length of Declarer’s part
ner increases the chances of De
clarer’s capturing the outstand
ing honors. This is why the re
sponding hand places the following
values on length in partner’s bid
ciiif •
Four card length—*4 trick
Five card length— 1 trick
Six card length— 2 tricks
The Ace, King or Queen, Jack in
partner’s suit is counted as one
trick; the Queen or Jack, ten as 14.
If partner should bid a suit of
which you held a King and three
small cards, you would count one
trick for the King, and 14 for
length. Different systems have dif
ferent methods of distributional
valuation, but all of the best reach
Remember, when a player opens
the bidding, or when a bid is made
in a different suit after the bidding
has been opened, the bidder counts
only the long-suit tricks and the
honor-tricks. But, when a player
supports his partner’s bil, his hand
becomes the responding hand, and
he counts everything—honor-tricks,
long-suit tricks, and short-suit
tricks.
The following are more examples
of distributional tricks:
Opening hand (Hearts are bid)
Spades A-7-5—1 trick
Hearts A-Q-9-R-4—314 tricks
Diamonds K-8-6-3—1 trick
Clubs 2
Total 514 tricks.
Valuation of possible responding
hand:
Spades K-R-4-2—1 trick
Hearts K-8-7-5—114 tricks
Diamonds 2—2 tricks
Clubs A-9-4-3—114 tricks
Total fi tricks.
(Making a total of six playing
tricks in support of hearts).
When you have learned the dis
tributional count your foundation
for contract bridge will be well laid.

r YOUR LETTER BOX 1
Dear Veiled Lady:—I want to ask your advice about a
very delicate matter. There are some things that you cannot
tell anyone, even your best friend. I am appealing to you be
cause my happiness is at stake. I am a man 26 years old, and
until 10 months ago I was happily married. I was deceived
by my wife at that time, and we have been separated since. I
love her dearly, and have not been out with any woman since
she has been gone. I would like for her to return to me, but I
do not know how to approach her. In justice to her. I wish
to state that I have not heard one word against her since that
time. Should I write her and ask her to return? You will
relieve me greatly if you will try and analyze my case. I hope
to see my letter in print very soon.
An Unhappy Husband.
"To err is numan, to lorgive is
divine” You acknowledge that you
have been deceived by her, still in
the same few lines you declare your
love for her. Which do you coni
sider the greatest stake in life—
happiness or unhappiness. You
have told me nothing of the circum
stances. Do vou think that you
will doubt her again, if she re
turns to you? I shall be very
candid with you. Often a man
drives a woman to deception. In
this day and time it seems to be
quite a common practice for hus
bands and wives both to play
“Hide and seek” with their mates.
Your wife must love you, too for
you say that she has done nothing
to hurt you since your separation.
I would let nothing stand in my
way to the road of happiness.
Search your own l<f» and
see if you, at any time, have been
unfaithful to your marriage vows.
Because a woman has once sinned
is no sign that she will neces
sarily do it again. X feel that she
suffers greatly because of her
actions. Write to her and when
you see her tie un the broken
threads and forget the past and
start life over again with the same
high regard you have always felt
for her. Experience is a great
teacher and I feel that she has
profited by the sad one which has
come to her.
Protect Your Home
My dear Veiled Ladv:- While
reading Friday’s issue of the
Metropolitan News I was great
ly interested in your column as I
think that you can give sane ad
vice. You have gained another
friend. I have been greatly wor
ried for the past fow weeks.
I have been married for seven
years and have a girl five years
old. I have lived quite happily
with my little family, as my hus
band, who has a good paying po
sition, has always been liberal,
kind and considerate of me in all
ways. His birthday was the first
of May. We invited a few friends
to join us in a small home party.
One of my friends came with an
other man, making excuses for
her actions by saying that her hus
band was sick and she did not want
to break a table, as we were going
to play bridge. During the even
ing, drinks were served. I notic
ed that my husband’s face was
flushed and he was a little loud.
This was strange to me e» he is
always very calm. He kept wat
ching the stranger in cur midst.
He followed me to the dining room
and asked me who he was. I told
him truthfully that he knew as
much about him as I did. We
danced after bridge games, and the
young man asked me to dance with
him. As a courtesy from his hos
tess, I complied with his request.
After I had finished, I again went
to the dining room to obtain some
thing for one of the guests. He
followed me, and without a word
of warning, he knocked me down.
My nose bled, and I was stunned

How do you do “Mrs. Housewife”
I hope that what we have to offer
today will be of service to you. If
not, if there is anything that you
want to know that you feel we
can help you with, all you have to
do is to write to this column and
we will do our best. And now
for today’s recipes, menus and
what not.
Let’s try some banana recipes.
We have heard so much about them
that we feel it will be a good thing
to include them in our recipes.
Here’s a banana baked in the jack
et.
Place firm whole bananas in a
shallow pan, cover and bake in
moderate oven for about 1-2 hour.
Remove skins by cutting open
lengthwise and pushing fruit out
gently on a hot serving dish. Spread
with hot butter, dredge with pow
dered sugar and serve with steaks,
chops or roast.
And here’s a Banana en Casse
role:
5 bananas
1 glass currant jell
Y\ cup boiling water
1 lemon rind and juice
salt
Peel and scrape '•ananas. Cut
into quarters lengthwise. Place
bananas in an oiled casserole dish
Combine with lemon juice and rind,
boiling water, currant jelly and
pinch of salt. Stir until thor
oughly blended, then pour over
bananas. Cover and bake in a
moderate oven. Remove cover,
sprinkle bananas with sugar, place
on top shelf of oven and brown
lightly. Serve with game, roast
beef, mutton or with beef steak.
And now before we sign off, let’s
have a real Sunday dinner menu.
Here’s a real June menu:
Cold Tomato Soup
Pressed Chicken
Country fried potatoes String
beans with bacon
Sliced tomatoes and cucumbers
Vinaigrette dressing
Chocolate Pie Cocoanut Puffs
Lemonade
Try washing perspiration stain
ed garments with a weak solution
of sodium hydrosulphite. Then
wash in water. If the material is
non washable, the stain is hopeless
to remove.
TO FETE CLUB
The Mary Fitzbutler Waring
club will be entertained Friday
evening by Mrs. L. W. Flemister
at her home, 3829 Vincennes ave.
BOARD MEET
The Womens’ Auxiliary Board
of Provident Hospital of which Mrs.
A. L. Jackson is secretary is hold
ing its regular monthly meeting at
the hospital Wednesday morning.
; They will meet in the library of the
hospital at 11:30 A. M.
by the blow. Since then my
friends have called me all kind* of
a fool, because I have continued to
live with him. The next morn
ing after the party my husband
was very repentant. He claims
to remember nothing about his
striking me. He has been the per
sonification of kindness since then
The ridicule of my friends stings
me. They say that if I allow him
to get away with it once, he will
do it again. My husband and ba
by arc all I have and my little girl
simply worships her daddy. What
shall I do—leave him or forget
about the unpleasant episode?
—Anxious
* • *
You say nothing of your own
feelings. Your only complaint is
that you hate the ridicule of your
friends. Were it possible for you
for you to acquaint yourself with
everything that may have tran
spired in the lives of your friends
during their married existence, I
wonder what you would find. No
two men can be judged alike. In
the first place your friend had no
business bringing a stranger to
your home to a party without ob
taining your consent in advance. I
know that the action was foreign
to your husband and his drinking
did not help the situation. Th#
flames of jealousy were tired by
the liquor. I will never condone a
man hitting a woman, but there
are circumstances to be considered
always. I had a friend once who
was always in tears because
another friend was continually tell
ing her of the faults of her hus
band. She would accuse the man of
running around with other womes^
Finally the wife could stand it no
longer and left her husband. The
results were that the talebearing
woman married the man, and now
his former wife is working out in
service, while the other woman is
occupying her old home and enjoy
ing comfort. Please, dear madam,
think twice before you break up
your home. You know your hus
band better than I. You know
his goodness and his shortcomings.
Look back over your life with him
and see if it has not contained
more happiness than unhappiness.
It is now the second week in June,
yet you have lived with him since
the night of the unfortunate hap
pening. “A hint to the wise ie
sufficient.” “Nuff Sed.”
My dear veiled Lady:- I want
you to answer a question for me,
and please answer it soon so I can
abide by your decision. If a man
isn’t working and has no money to
spend on pleasures, should he let
a young woman, who has a position
and makes good money, provide
him with cab fare to take her to a
formal—Yours in distress.
It depends upon the circum
stances. If the girl is a good
buddy of yours, knows your circum
stances, and wants you for her es
cort and states that she will pro
vide the fare, it is all rieht.. She
knowing you as a pal, feels that
some day you will return the cour
tesy. If a girl is your fiancee,
she knows that same day you will
share alike, and there is no objec
tion in that case. If you are both
of school age, and your parents
have to pay the expenses, it is just
as fair for one as it is for the oth
er, for being escorted by you, will
relieve her parents from fear re
garding her safe return home. Now
for the final answer, I do not think
that a young man, without funds,
should ask a girl to accompany him
to a dance if he is not able to fi
nance the affair. Go to the dance
alone and perhaps you will find
some girl there who has come un
der the same circumstances and
you will be able to help make the
evening pleasant for her. Never
sail under false colors, what ever
condition in life may be yours.
