LOCAL CAST IN OPERETTA

Jean Grenicheux, deserves special
mention. Endowed with superb
tenor voice, the young actor knew
how to use it. Mention, too, must
be made of Miss Louise Keneipp
and Miss Elsie Schulze for the
splendid work they did in filling
the roles allotted to them.
The play seemed to revolve
around Dore Walton, a teacher of
music in the public schools, who
last night led the orchestra and
directed the singers. Under his
skillful leadership the singing of
the chorus and the playing Of the
orchestra left nothing to be de-
sired in the line Of good musical
entertainment.

CITY CHRISTMAS
SHOPPING is UP
20 PER CENT
Survey Reveals Increase in
Bank CIearingS
Over 1892.

Prosperity is at least preparing to
gather enough momentum to round
tibet corner, judging from a survey
Of large department stores through
out the country, including Indian
apolis.
CHRISTMAS shopping in Indianap-
oils, according to reports from the
survey for the first two weeks of
December, average about 20 per
cent over the corresponding sales
In 1892.
Ihlsc ity tops the average increase
OF approximately 10 per cent for
cities by two points. Chicago rates
l6 per cent increase. Philadelphia.
per cent, Detroit 3 per cent and
Cincinnati 16 per cent.
Bank Figures Cheering
Leading Indianapolis merchants
report that for the first time since
1923, sales volume, customer volume
and dollar volume have increased
to point where they compare more
favorabiy with the years of pros
perity.
While all the outward signs of
better times crowds in the stores
and on the streets, are obvious, the
merchants have gone TO bank clear
ing figures and other statistics to
prove their points
From $8A58,000 bank clearngs in
the week ending Dec. 2, the figures
have climbed to $1O053 900 for the
week ending Dec Is.
Last year. while routine business
increased during the holiday season.
bank clearings declined as Christ
mas approached. The figures still
short of those established at the
peak Of prosperity are nevertheless
climbing steadily, according to mer-
chants.
CWA Given Credit
One Of the factors cited as partly
responsible for the squirt is the
CWA program. Since Nov. % the
Civil Works Administration has
added $544,370 to the purchase e
power IN Marion county and IL, 150
men and women, previously I'M
employed, have obtained jobs IN
connection with the civil works
project.
-Four hundred more sacks of mail
than in 1882 at the holiday season,
sent from indianapolis and 1000
more sacks of incoming mail over
the same period last year, attest to
a definite upturn
Merchants in the city have noted
a definite trend in the buying of
individual rather than household
gifts this season. And jewelry-
that barometer of good or bad times
has ceased to be a drug on the
market and is selling well during
the present Christmas shopping.

government and state have received
their revenue.

Chance Meeting
Then, one afternoon a week
later, she saw him. She had
dropped into a smart restau-
rant, on her way uptown to
meet Julian for an afternoon
of cards. She gave her order,
looked calmly about, nodding
to acquaintance here and
there from her vantage point
in the center Of the lunching
crowd. The head waiter had
placed her there for two rea-
sons, because she was Julian
Haverholt's niece, and because
she was the lovelieSt person in
the room.

voice from a table behind her.
May I join you?"
It was Clark. He was alone

scence, experienced a deliciously
guilty flutter as he moved to-
ward her and dropped into the
chair opposite. He studied her
with open admiration.

Secrets Of Health

Help Others and Be Happy

Help Others and Be Happy
Helping others pays rich
dividends in personal satisfac-
ton. A thrill of happiness
goes with every good deed that
cannot be duplicated in any
other way.
Particularly in these days Of
trial, doubt and uncertainty
should we remember that thou
sands Of others are worse off
than we; that many are in
actual want and worrying to
the point Of distraction.
We may not have money to
give, nor food, nor clothes. We
can, at least, be considerate,
bearing in mind always that
only a word of encouragement,
coming at the right time, may
mean to the despairing one new
hope and a new lease on life.
Whether times are bad or
prosperous, it is undeniable that
by helping and taking an inter-
est in our fellow man we round
out our own life and make it
full and rich. No one can get
the best out of himself if he ad-
heres to the notion that he is a
law unto himself or if he feels
that he, himself, comes first
and that the rest of the world
can go hang.
Every human being has re-
ceived much, merely through
having been born into an or
ganized state of civilization. The
heritage of the past has been
banded down to him without his
having been compelled to move
a finger or even to utter a
thank you" When we realize
what we gain by living now
rather than a few hundred
years ago-deSpite the fact that
everything seems a bit topsy-
turvy at the moment-we must
admit that never before in his
tory has the welfare of the in
dividual been considered more
nor have so many discoveries
been made to further his happi-
ness.
That means, Of course, that
we, as individuals, owe some
thing, too. Merely to criticize
and feel discontented are
mighty poor ways of repaying
the benefits received. Mani

Sne was engul1ed by q wave
Of despair; there had been de-
feat and unhappiness behind
her; there was defeat and un-
happiness ahead. This was the
end of adventure. This was
where recklessness led. She had
known Haverholt's tempera-
ment from the first. She had
deliberately chosen association
with him. There was no going
back now.
EnguIfed
If she walked from the house,
where could she go, what could
she do? She hated Julian Hav-
erholt. The fact remained that
she was his product. Without
him she was helpless. She had
made herself a name, his name.
She had friends and associ-
ations il. the city, his friends
and his associations.
Haverholt had promised to
lift her to the heights. He had
fulfilled his promise. He had
made her a success and in so
doing he had bound her to him
with hoops Of steel. She was
like a creature, trapped and
chained, unable to escape. She
had chosen the way of decep-
ton and deception had become
her master.

holt as philosophically as he
viewed himself. She felt again
his old charm, his old mag
netism. Sometimes she wished
that she might fall violently,
desperately, uncritically in love
with him. She was convinced,
as so many other women had
been convinced about Julian
Haverholt, that if she loved
him she could hold him. Any
thing she thought would be
better than the emptiness, the

WASHINGTON FASHIONS By Wilma LoVNe

In case you're still in need OF
summer clothes, you may lind
yourself in a sad predlcament.
For the situation is very dill
ferent this year from what it
has been in other seasons. The
manufacturers in a few cases
made up more than they could
sell, and so have overstocks TO
get rid of at a low price, but on
the whole there was less Of that
than usual. There are some
cottons to be had, but few silks,
and they will make up no more.
So If YOU still need a few things
to fill in, you'd better rush
right downtown while the stores
can show you something, for in
no time at all, if predictions
come true, there will be almost
nothing to choose from. And
also, with prices going up, it
might be a good idea to pick
out a few Of the better things
that will start you out next
summer, II you Can 4AAAu eOOU
clothes reduced.
Silks Scarce
hut the few things that you
can find are very good. Cot
tons still offer smart choice,
and the silks that are available
are smart, in cheerful colors or
white, and very desirable.
Chiffons are not as plentiful as
they were last year, but by PICK;
ing and choosing you can flnd
some good ones. There are eX,
cellent suits for travel, and stiA
a small number Of good sports
and street things with linen
coats and the like. There are
plenty of separate coats, in case
you want to make up your own
ensemble, and many women are
doing just that.

Late Fashion
Flashes

A comforting thought is that
one can wear simple costumes
all day at the beach or on a
cruise, with never a thought of
dressing up until evening. A
grand outfit consists of white
cotton Slacks. Yanked up we'll

simple colored cotton ShirU.
Shallow but deep in chic and
charm are those large shallow
hats that sit flat on the head.

straw has an absurd low little
crown trimmed with a wreath
Of field flowers in red, white
and blue. Grand with prints

apples in a soft, wide design.

Seeking Top Score

Contract bridge has caused
players to seek the declaration
yielding the highest possible
score, both at rubber play and
at duplicate. This tendency is
much more strongly marked
than ever it was at auction.
Although North was playing
rubber bridge, his partners illu-
minating bidding caused his side
to obtain the highest possible
score for the cards held. Neither
side was vulnerable.
