Sue Writes to Ilene in Paris About Doings of Indianapolis Society Nov. 3, 1927. Ilene Dear: I’m lapsing into the midnight hours—just home from a bridge game with Miss Edna Burks, Mrs. Eliza Tarkington Brigham and mother, all sharks ready to eat me if I bid one club second round, or shout two hearts without the ace, king, queen to six, or yawn, or anything human. But I feel that you

should not go on with your life work in Paris until you hear what’s been going on in Indianapolis. I won’t say a word about our multiplicity of mayors, dear, it’s been on the front page for weeks now. I think the city hall has suddenly developed dementia praecox, not to mention paranoia, with just a touch of infantilism. To the contemporary club Friday night to hear Dr. Sigmund Spaeth on "The Common Sense of Music.” A sparkling comedian, he, with all the musical argot at his fingertips to confound you, and a keen wit to amuse you. He played ‘‘Yankee Doodle” as it might have been interpreted by Handel, Chopin, Beethoven and Debussy. The Debussy rendition in a discordant half-tone scale was the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. Too, he sang various interpretations of “Jack and Jill,” from a dainty wistful Puccini aria to an almost overpowering Wagnerian climax. The man certainly knows his grace notes, Ilene, from Berlin to Bach. I went with Amelia, Peg Winslow and her charming guest from Akron, Ohio, Mrs. Elmer Palmer. And I lost my front door key! That makes the seventh. Our Ruth Page, Dr. and Mrs. Lafayette Page’s daughter, now premiere daneuse of the Metropolitan, was there with her mother. Ruth has preserved her personality more nearly intact than any celebrity I’ve ever known. And she looks adorable with her bobbed hair parted in the middle and swirled around on her cheeks, very arch and very Ruth St. Denis. Hears Miss Seaman Saturday afternoon to a tea for the Vassar Club, which Mrs. Frederic Krull gave at her mother’s, Mrs. Henry D. Pierce’s—the house with the lions out in front. Miss Louise Seaman, head of the children’s department at MacMillan’s, talked interestingly, about children’s books. She is a slim, yellow-haired figure in a soft green crepe afternoon frock, with beige slippers and hose. Then we all had tea! In a huge old-fashioned dining-room, my dears, with samovars and shining brass, shadowy in the candlelight. Mrs. Meredith Nicholson was there, and Miss Shipp, Mrs. Eugene Miller, very pleasant people. Saturday night Blanche Shaw was married in the Second Presbyterian Church, with the entire Parry family in attendance. The bridesmaids and the maid of honor wore draped chiffon velvet gowns and carried arm bouquets of shaded fall colors. Everybody was there wrapped in lovely Spanish shawls, which made the old church gay and colorful. We sat right behind Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Vonnegut and Miss Josephine Harman, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Nordyke and Mrs. Horne. And Henry Thornton was there sporting a tall silk hat, looking as though he had just stepped off, for the nonce, from The Mall. Forgot to See Clothes

Then Sunday afternoon Cerene Chr had a tea for Miss Seaman and Monday night was the symphony concert, the New York Philharmonic Dear, just try high hatting that. Never have I heard such a program ranging from the modernistic cacophony of Rieti to the exalting thrill of Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony. I was so utterly enthralled, darling, that in the entr’ act I absolutely forgot to notice who wore what. Can you imagine it? But if you only have seen Mendelberg in the second movement of the symphony drawing the loveliest sounds out of those peculiar looking instruments. And there in a box sat Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Holcomb with Dr. and Mrs. Strickland; in another were the Pages, and the Rauhs, and then I dissolved again because the music began One person. I did focus was Agnes Andrews looking inestimably lovely in a Nile green chiffon velvet robe de style. And afterwards to Lindy’s for lots of food and talked until 2 in the morning. Tuesday Helen Fleischer had a luncheon bridge for Mrs. Wynn Owen and Mrs. Rudolph Haerle, whose names are so newly acquired that I almost called them the Elisabeths, Fauvre and Shepard. The party was an entire success because Elsa and I talked the entire time—she winning the first prize and I the booby which looks like an awful reflection on my bridge playing. And me playing with Mrs. Harry Ohr all summer. Don’t tell anybody, will you? Take Own Movies Mary Elizabeth Powell was there telling us enthusiastically about the latest activity of the younger generation, taking movies of themselves with Bill Kothe directing. Every week-end a lot of young people tear off to Brown County by telling their families they are “going on location” and take heartrending movies of themselves. Ada Payne was there too, and Mal’ea Haueisen. I must stop for breath. And what of you, Ilene? What are you up to without your cousin’s restraining influence. Mrs. Louis Levy is motoring home this week from Bolton, Conn., and with her is her daughter and son-in-law, Mr, and Mrs. Richard Tinker. Mrs. Ed Gates is entertaining for Peg’s guest tomorrow. And so on, dear, into the night. I’m so sleepy I could die. Give my iove to Ernest Hemingway. • Your unco-ordinated but devoted SUE. Party and Fish Fry A card party and fish fry will be given at the K. of P. Hall, 132% S. Audubon Rd., at 8:30 p. m., Saturday by the Irvington Willing Workers.

Phyllis Baker

BY BETSY’ SCHUYLER NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Autumn with its dog shows, horse shows, races, football games and world series, seems to stimulate as much diversity in costuming as there is in sports. Just one stroll along Park Avenue, famous thoroughfare of famous good-dressers, proves it. Coats with capes, fur jackets with frocks, one-piece street dresses, suits —all passed me in just a few blocks walk. Miss Frances McCoon wore the only velveteen cardigan suit I noted, a rich reddish brown, with mink collar and a narrow banding of the velveteen binding the crew neck or the beige jersey blouse under the coat. Smart Skirt Idea Mrs. L. M. Gibb sponsored the rather new and altogether smart Idea of a skirt of compose tweed with semi-fitted jacket of plain tweed to match the lighter stripe of the skirt. She carried one of the novel new duvetyn purses—a rectangular one—with three half-inch tucks taken in it to give novelty and chic. Rich black velvet fashioned the trip suit I saw Miss Phyllis Baker wear, as she leisurely shopped for the last fancies for her trousseau. The skirt was wrap-around and gave a slender line to her youthful figure. The coat was box cut and extremely cute and girlish on her. A rich fox neckpiece tucked its head over her right shoulder. Her black felt hat had only a few horizontal tucks—not even a banding to detract from its smart lines. Sleeves, Waist in One Miss Ann Ingersol has one that is as swagger as any costume I’ve seen this season. Soft, gracious willowy green kasha with a wooly finish almost like angora is it. Its sleeves and waist are cut in one, dispensing with the armhole which, at best, Is apt to detract from one’s appearance of perfect costuming. This dress had a gentle fullness In the blouse combined with a slightly tighter skirt—all in one piece—which achieved the smart results

only perfect tailoring can. Fiap pockets, a panel of buttons and notched collar and cuffs were all hand bound in silk braid. She wore gray hosiery with a greenish cast with her snakeskin slippers. Agnes Williams’ Cape Coat Coats may be straight line and they may be full, but I decided the other day nothing on earth can be | smarter than such a cape coat as I saw on Miss Agnes Williams. Perhaps it was the cute little fur cape collar that overhung the cape of the coat that intrigued one. The coat itself was of the new kasha vella, rich, deep pile but with a lovely dull cast to it, in a brown that was almost nigger brown. Small cuffs and a rich collar that had graceful revers and a joining cape collar of mink enriched the coat. To make it as comfortable as it was beautiful, it had a cozy fur lining. Diversity in afternoon frocks is as marked as it is in street wear, so far this season. I tried in vain,

The pointed Vionnet neckline that ends in a diagonal closing, great diversity in girdles and the use of crepe and satifl characterized many of the frocks.
