Fashion Show Is Held At High School Last Night

About 400 people, mostly women, attended the Delta Theta Tau fashion show at Decatur high school Tuesday night and more than was surprised that there were so many fashionable things available in town. As for instance • the all-leather coat at 8110, which sent the oohs and ahs rolling off the tongues of the spectators all at once upon the appearance of the single most expensive item of the evening. And there was also a bit of su~prise at the start of the show when, without a doubt, the most adorable bunch of little guys and dolls trooped out ou the platform extending from the stage to display what the well dressed grammar school set will be wearing this fill and winter. Surprise at the poise of- the youngsters . . . plus a mental tossup as to which was more attractive and appealing, the bright garments or the pixielike folks who squirmed inside them as they went through what was, for the majority, a frightening experience. But they bore up real well when the kids got the idea that the laughter was good natured and everybody loved them. About 50 garments went On display, ranging from a rugged looking all weather jacket draped over the rangy frame of a former Decatur high uasketball star, to the soft shoulders of a distaff resident of the city being fondled by 'aephyr-like lace that could be better described as the height of female finery. Add to all this an athletic-look-ing fellow over six feet tall who had the hardest job iof the, entire show, barring even Miss Joan Wemhoff’s who did van admirable job as narrator. That was Dike Middleman, varTUESDAY I Catholic Ladies of Columbia, K. of Ci hall, 8 p.m. Decatur Garden club, Zion Evangelical and Reformed church, 7:30 p.m.

Approximately fifty attended the affair.

Mrs. Kenneth Schnepf accompanied the group singing “School Days” as the program began. Games in writing, singing, drama, .chemistry and story-telling were enjoyed and prizes awarded.

This he did for about a half hour —but the best, maybe for him the worst—was yet to come. 'Dike turned gigolo ia«.er on when the more eligible women took t > the platform.-He stay in ti e wings and escort onto the stage doll after doji, all dolled up. During the Intermission, to take the edge off the audience, pier? was more entertainment, having already heard two renditions by Dick Reidenbach local crooner ot note. It Hearne in the form of a girl named Joann York, who is now known as the original rambler. Her monologue was ; an epic in being three, or mayb? seven, places at the same time. First she talked about "pa” shooting someone W’hile he was asleep, then cavortin’! in the moonshine barrel with » tew fish worms . ... Providing the accordion accompaniment to the) kid's fashion exposition was Ann Arnold.
