Business Women
NosU Necessity

The Riley room of the Claypool
was filled Wednesday night with
business women of Indianapolis, to
hear Miss Helen Bennett of Chicago,
manager Of the VVoman's World
Fair, talk at the annual dinner Of
the business women's department Of
the Woman's Department Club.
Her address on 1.-THE Daughters
Of Ruth" dealt with the Importance
of women in history and business
from the beginning.
I'VE are for the first time in our
lives, for the first time in the his
tory of the race, of absolute neces-
sity to the industrial life of the ma
tion," she said. 1.-THE thing that
started woman's freedom was the
bicycle, which was followed by facrl-
ties in ewomen's colleges becoming
interested in athletics and the final
thing that set us free was the last
great war, when women went over
cas-, drove ambulances, carried on
work behind the lines and did the
work Of farmers"

eventually get to the top? But men,
even in buiness' don't want intelli-
gence from a woman. They will take
it and use it, but only when it is
sandwiched between thick slices of
sex appeal. That's what they want
and that's what l give them"
Another thought: "a girl can be
late, she can mislay letters, she can
be ignorant of the simplest spelling,
but a dress with a low neck and a
feminine frill, a pair Of sheer stock
ings and a shy smile will choke down
the reprimand in the mouth of any
male employer"
After ALL and combined with the
fact that I'm accused OF being a
man-hater. 1 don't think men are
such fools as these stenographers
believe them. Well always wonder
just how much of it is so.

apolis business girls, who were
caught discussing them with much
fervor recently.
They Like Dumbbells
You notice we say business girls. )"
And here is the opinion of an older
one too:
Never" she says, "have I forced
any man to confess that he likes sex
in his office. They tell what dumb
bells their stenographers are, how
they can not spell and how all they
think about is patting their hair into
place and powdering their noses.
And how they come in late every
morning because of their heavy date
the night before.
"But don't let a man fool YOU"
she goes on. That's the way he
wants it. While he dictates his let
ters he is delighted to have his mind
half diverted>by the curve of leg
or the line of a graceful neck. They
pat themselves on the back and talk
themselves into thinking they are
martyrs for enduring inefficient
stenographers. Let a dried-up per-
simmon of a woman, who doesn't
know what sex appeal means but
who is Knockout stenographer,
come into an office for a job and she
goes out almost quicker than she
got in"
Don't Want Intelligence

questions with an emphatic yes, "

Chintz Affords Variety

"Chintz offers a delightful variety
Of color combinations, and furnishes
a, keynote for the other furnishings.
Wall paper may be used in the same
xvav. as in the room exhibited at the
exposition"
This room is an eighteenth CEN
fury dining room, done in autumn
shades drawn from the scenic wall
naner. The red, amber and yellow
tones of the foliage in the landscape
paper are repeated throughout the
decoration.
A dull green rug furnishes the
right contrast for the warmer tones.
Sheraton and Hepplewhite furniture
in San to Domingo mahogany, lnlald
with satinwood, supplies the reddish
brown shades to suit the paper.
Even in the chandeliers there are
amber drops among clear white crys-
tai. AS a table center piece in such
2, room, yellow roses in green glass
bowl are very lovely. The candles
are tall, pale yellow tapers, set IN
suuatty amber glass holders.
"For summer furnishing, the new
chintzes and cretonnes offer the most
delightful mode of introducing color,
says Mrs Thomas.
Use Brightness Sparingly
s'You will find the brightest colors
used in the smallest quantities, and
the paler, or duller tones used more
layishly. This same treatment is the
safest to follow in any scheme OF
decoration.
'Use bright tints sparingly, as ac-
cents. Use pale tints for background
and restful contrasts"
An old rule-of decoration that still
holds good is that if color appears
anywhere in the room, it should APP
pear in at least three place, pref
erably at some little distance from
one another, to bring all parts of the
room into harmony.
1t is best to introduce into the
room touches of every color in the
rainbow, always bearing in mind that
the dominating colors must domi-
nate.
For summer, simple, ruffled draper
les, fiounced slip covers and counter
panes of chintz cretonne, percale or
bingham, will give the desired effect
of brightness and airiness.
Mix Plainness and Patterns
But in using highly patterned
fabrics, Mrs Thomas warns, one
must be careful to employ plain sur
faces elsewhere in the room, to avoid
confusion of design.
The secret of successful decoration
for the amateur lies in simplicity and
rigid observance of harmony in
line, mass and color
1.-The expert designer" she says,
may be able to work out his own
futurist patterns for homes, with sue
cess. But the housewife who can
not employ an expert would do well
to stick to the graceful furniture of
old periods.
"F'uturist, Spanish, Italian, Moor
ish interiors may do in large city
homes, but for the small town house
or the country place or tiny apart
ment, the simple appointments of
early American, eighteenth century
English or French provincial, are
far more workable"

MIX PSYCHOLOGY WITH COLOR
IN YOUR HOME, 81 VS. EXPERT
Consider the Feeling Of a
Room Before You Choose,
Mrs. Thomas Advice.
By Virginia Swain


NEW YORK, March 17.-Tone,
mass and color are the three graces
of home decoration, and the great
est Of these is color.
Divorces may not have been
caused by bad color combinations,
but it Is sound Psychology to sup
pose that many a quarrel has taken
added violence from a clash of pink
and red in the wall paper.
Decorators have found that they
must consult psychology as well as
art in choosing colors for the home.
And especially in decorating for the
spring and summer must they
search their color charts for shades
that are sunfast and suitable to the
season.
Among decorators exhibiting
rooms at the Architectural and AL
lied Arts Exposition is Mrs. Annie
Thomas, known for her skill in
building color schemes for unity
without monotony.
Moods i'm Color
"Consider the feeling of ROOM"
is her first admonition. 'What mood
do you want it to induce? What
colors suggest your own most be-
coming moods? Those are the shades
to use III your home"
Fortunately, the old scheme OF
one-color rooms is passing out. The
old green parlor, with its brilliant
grass green wall paper, its sea-green
carpet and it's upholstery in various
shades of faded green is a horror
of twenty years ago.
The day of mission rooms and
brown oatmeal paper is also gone.
Today, the smart room has va
riety Of color, and some brilliance.
The muted shades once thought so
elegantly conservative are now rec
ognized to be only commonplace and
uninteresting.
"Probably the easiest scheme for
the amateur decorator" says Mrs.
Thomas, lis to take some single item
of the decoration, wall paper,
mixed chintz or an object Of art,
which has enough colors in it to
furnish a color motif for the whole
room. and build up the room around
1t.
Excellent effects have been
gained by choosing a picture Of love-
ly color, to hang in a central place,
and harmonizing every other object,
