PAGE TWO-A PLAY IS THE THING IN MODERN HOMES Most New Houses Now Provide Game . Room By MARY MARGARET McBRIDE NEA Service Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK.—Ten out of twelve of the houses being built today Provide. game rooms, a prominent architect declares. He is not talk ifig “solely about luxury homes, he insists, but about moderate-priced structures to be occupied by fam ilies® with average incomes. “The game room has come to have a definite place in the Am erican scheme,” he explains. “Es- Ppecially is it important when there are young people growing‘\ up in the house. The game roomi gives them a place to which they | may bring their friends and findz equipment especially designed £r | thqkind of amusement they like best. Most important of all, since the ideal game room generally is isolated as much as possible from| the rest of the house, the young | folks can make all the noise theyl please and nobody else will he dis turbed.” The ideal place for the game' room, of jcourse, especially when it must be inserted into a housei that already has overtime use for every room, is the cellar. Thel col?_-webby, cluttered basement, #iketnl only for holding the fur nace and those intricate winding Pipes that nobody even seems to Khoty the use of anyway, is no I:Q'flkér fashionable. t * * Willing Helpers Available The clever householder, con templating the installation of a game room, will interest not only his young people but the sons and daughters of his neighbors in the project. Then, before he knows it, Successßegins at 67 for Widow With First Novel Off Press Never Expected to See| Her Stories l Published ; BY MARY MARGARET McBRIDE | mEA Service Staff Correspondent) | .NEW YORK-—When the copy of' “oOld Farm,” her first book, came from the publishers, Ettie Stephens| Prichard, who is sixty-s«ven.i couldn't bear for a whole day to| look at it or even touch it. l . .There was the dearest wish of her life fulfilled, a hovel actually written and published, yet now | that it was done, she suddently telt | thaf nobody would ever buy itl and that it probably was terrible anyway. ‘ Finally at midnight, she nerved | herself to pick the volume up. And | from then until dawa, when she] finished the last word, she laughed ®mnd cried by turns. l .At the end: “Why, I've written a.book,” she said to her daughter,! Margaret, in a wondering tone,l wiping her eyes. .“Y¥ou see, 1 couldn't realize it then and I can't even now,” she explained, wistfully. “Of course, I suppose I ought to begin to believe | now; because after all, one big' magazine did publish one series of/ short stories and is now doing ano ther. Besides, in the last issue, they put my name right on the cover, Bttie Stephens Prichard, Jjust like thatl College Product ~ “But when you've wanted any thing as much for sixty years as T've wanted to write, then it takes @ -little time to get accustomed to the knowledge that you have done ituat last” | It isn't quite exact to say' that! Mrs. Prichard began writing after she reached her sixties. The truth is that she has been writing all her life. Bu; she never began selling until a little while ago when Helen Hull, in whose Columbia University short story writing class she had wnrolled, told her she had talent. . “Afte, that, everything happen ®d so fast that I hadn't time even to think,” Mrs. Pricharq confided. her candid gray eyes bright with the excitement of remembering. She looks less than her sixty-seven wears, for her skin is as soft and cledgr as a child’s and her white hair fluffing into an aureole about hey face merely points up the you thfilness of her face. She has Bot too, the endearing quality wenally found only in the very ¥Bung of being easily astonished and delighted. : Widow of Judge | Until two years ago this bufi-i ding author was just an a\'erage{ housewife in an average small Illi 16is home, worrying about what to‘: hgi-. for d@inner when company (g:gx‘:le and how to make her budget. t tch as far as possible.

T used to read all my stories to my husband. “What do vou think of ?‘t Jim? 1 would ask eagerly. ‘And he would say. ‘Why, Bttie, it mouiifls five to me!’ Everything * wrote sounded fine to him.

By Olive Roberts Barton Are women rude? Men seem to think so, particu larly when they drive cars, ride in elevators, or travel in street cars, buses and trains. The indictment may be natural, for at first glance these appear to be about the-only places where the sexes at large may dispute rights. Yet accident statistics seem to show that women drivers meet with fewer accidents than men. Ac knowledging that the woman driver is frequently “unpredictable,”’ forgets to hold out her hand, makes unexpected turns, and draws out from the curb with out looking for approaching cars, the figures arc there to show that her absent-mindedness or ‘‘rude ness’’ have cost the coroner’s department less than those of the men of her family. There are, of course, many really women drivers. It is no accident or absent-mindedness that plants a woman in a car on the middle of the road for miles with a string of cars and buses behind her blowing their heads off to pass. . As for elevators, she does seem to be at her worst this same rude woman. She blocks doorways, el bows her fellow passengers, and refuses to give an inch. In the street car she won’t move over. In the ‘trains she turns over the empty seat for her chattels ‘and ca!mly reads while other weary people stand. ‘She accepts a bus seat without thanks and althogeth !er earns for her sex the stigma of cheek and rudeness. How About the Attitude Of Men Toward Golf? { But we cannot let it go at that. The subject of ears cannot lbe_ dismissed so easily. We must now introduce the male. Who is that ‘“snakes” on the road, sneaks up ahead at a light and shoots through in front of ‘right of way traffic—who blows you out of the way, or tries to, in a jam? Who approaches a cross ing of panicky walkers like a “speed demon, to stop only in the last five feet by standing” on the brake Not women. But we'll let Ithat pass because it could not be classed as ‘“rudeness.” The coro ‘ner has a name for it. { ! If we want to keep on common i ground—rudeness, we are speaking lot—-and thrash out the question of | manners pro and con, we must | leave wheels and such like, %nd g 0 iin for sport. : ! It is here that women have | : I #Rudness Seems a Matter Of Opportunity, Largely [ There is probably no place on | earth where men’s rudeness to | ward women shows up more than is:‘. tha ealf courge or Gii the ten nis court. Men want tennis courts !when they. want them and it is well-known that as a class they ' loathe mixed-doubles. ! Swimming? Who ioves the hor | set tricks. the duckings. the un ‘derwafer upsets, the shoving off . dotks and boats? This time the irudeness is excused by them as i “fun” and “teasing.” It matters ‘not that they cause real fright. !The only ones who laugh are l themselves. i Now bridge. What more pitiful gight than to see two futtéry la dies sit down at table with two 'gtmge men. “How will ke take it if I lose?” each is thinking. And with a table for games and com fortakle chairs for the players. The game corner shown in the accompanying illustration (right) was deésigned by Russell Wright, [who specilaizes in space-saving furniture done on modern lines. The chairs are walnut construc tion below and are covered with a plaid of brown and thin stripes of lemon yellow. The table has a quilted top and two nine-inch | grounds for complaint. ' The very man who prides him self as a traveling Chesterfield, ecan and often does, become self ish and rude to a degree. | Invade what he calls his “golf ’ rights” and see what happens. Nothing in the world is quite so | smug and so sure of itself as the { male foursome. ‘Men give out that they pay for the golf, and therefore have a right to it. A man will pay equal ly for his wife's clothes and his own, and split spending money fifty-fifty, but when it comes to it golf he says, "Keep off the course. { 'm paying for it.” { Anofher excuse is “time.” “We f‘have only certain hours to play, so ! Jet us alone,” many men assert grighteously. But the ones who | play hardest and longest are the first quite offen to mention time. | they \play their worst. They are lucky if the evening passes with out sharp’ reproof or sulks not even camouflaged. It is a rare gen tleman who lost;s gracefully or si-; ;lentlr at bridge, either to or with | a lady. Some women lose badly i,too. but as a rule it takes a man | to speak his mind. Thus we have it. Women are‘ rude to men traveling. Men are: rude to women playing. Why, no ! one knows. We hear more about[ !cars because there are more driv- | : ers than golf players, more drivers' !than swimmers — than anything.' But rudeness is not a prerogative of «either sex. It seems to be a childish failing of both, dep&ndmgi on circumstances. — (Copyright, 1934, NEA Service, Inc.) ¢ leaves pull out from the side, thus providing seating space for six persons.

NEW YORK.—The past few iyears will go down in history as ‘the period during which woman ifox' the first time began assessing ;Lho action of government in terms iof’ the effect upon her family and ‘the future of her children. That i is the prediction of Mrs. George !A. Wyeth, president of “the Wo ;men's National Republican club, iWhO with other members of the | elub, is sponsoring a nation-wide | observance of Constitution Day | on September 17. ' The date will mark the 147th anniversary of the adoption of our Constitution. | ; “It seems almost like a miracle,” Isays Mrs. Wyeth, “that men at | the end of the eighteenth century could make such sound discover ies of laws so fundamental that they could frame a Constitution ]t,hat has endured to this day. Of ,course the secret is that the framers of this all-important ’document were both students and | practical men. They knew that laws -of government and sound economics are like the laws of the physic«i nniverse — they exist, | whether we know it or not, sand our job is to discover and state |them. ‘ ; . “The reason the Constitution is adequate today is that it has been flexible enough so that it could be | changed without too much trouble lto meet cur enormously increased Ipopulafion and our greatly com plicated incustrial organization.” ’ Expert on Constitutions | Mrs. Wyeth, incidentally, is an expert on constitutions. She has cared for government ever since ‘she was a little girl and has trav elled abroad to study the laws of other countries in order to com pare them with our own. She feels no other constitution ap proaches ours in the opportuni ties it allows to the mass of citi zens. “Under our Constitution, each human being has a richer life than is possible anywhere else in the world,” she points out. “One rea son for our pre-eminence in every thing is the political freedom and 'educatio.n «f the masses which we are guaranteed by that important | paper drawn up and signed so long ago by those far-sighted men 'who were influenced by no politi cal motives, but only by humani- ’tarlan ones. . ! “I talked-to an American the other day who has lived abroad for the past decade.
