300 Guests Ignore Rain to View Fur Attire, Play Bridge, Whist

By PAT L. WILLIAMS “Spades are trumps.” “I bid three hearts.” “I pass.” These three statements were among the many heard as over 300 socialites gathered in the Riley Room of the Claypool Hotel to enjoy a fashion show, a delectable lunch, and play bridge or whist, as preferred, when St. Philip’s Episcopal Church sponsored its first social activity Saturday afternoon. My, but a lively crowd was present, even though it rained outside and it was a dreary day. From the actions ana s-.niling faces of the many orominent guests one w’ould guess at first the sun was beaming and it was still another hot summer dayAdd ; ng to the gaiety were the pleasant sponsoring members who greeted their patronizers at the door and presented each with delightful souvenirs. The first 100 fashion lovers received exclusive perfume samples by “Estee Lauder”—a contribution from Robert Bowers of the L. S. Ayres Company. In the entranceway were several tables loaded with a variety of lovelv gifts, dishes, an overnight bag. linen, and 28 other luxuries for lucky winners to select from. The colorful fall clothes worn by the guests cast beauty to the scene —the most up-to-date fashions could be viewed offstage, as well as onstage, before the models paraded on. , , “Ohs” and “ahs” were plentiful as the capacity crowd viewed the 1 u e i o u s furs—compliments of Charles Anger. Coats for the junior miss, teenager, young adult, and aault females were viewed. The pre-deb, post-deb, career girl, and young mother all were joyous as styles to suit them were modeled by the entourage of pretty fashioners.

The delicious luncheon menu consisted of creamed chicken in pattie shall, french fries, toss salad, coffee, hot rolls, and lemon custard ice cream. The pleasant Mrs. Dorothy Whiteside was introduced to commentate by Miss Gloria Ann Mor-ton-Finney, general chairman. Mrs. Whiteside, a charming commentator, was noticed “switching hats” between model presentations. After all she can afford to—she makes “Hats by Dorothy.” As the stylists stepped up the runway to show their fur apparel, music was played by the talented Miss Emily Garrett. Throughout, the day 32 prizes were awarded the elegant winners during bridge and whist “changes.”

Winners were Alice Huddleston, Norma Jones.. Ella Mae Hicks, Thelma Williams, Carole Stevenson, Norma Slaughter, Mary Miles, Helen Singleton, Betty Cools, Ruby Woodson, Betty Chisley, Jean English, Ruby Rankin, Mary Auter, Bertin Vaughn, Carrie Strickland, Julia Martin, Bobby Hanley, Ann McAnulty, Betty Lasley, Carolyn Buckner, Gladys Doyle, Sue Artis, Lucille Hill, Alicetine Bell, Shirley Stupps, Florence Davenport, Georgia Rue, O. Roberts, Betty Campbell, R. Harden, Mrs. Battles, and Mrs. Ow r slev. Out-of-town socialites enjoying the festive occasion w r ere Mrs. Geleatha B. Overbey of Ann Arbor, Mich., guest of Mrs- Hibernia

Bailey: Mrs. Geonranna King of Anderson, guest of Miss Rosalie Ross, and Mrs. Ella M. Quishenberry of Los Angeles, guest of Miss Emily Garrett.
