SOCIETY’S BRILLIANCE FLASHES AT PLAY Social Event Centers on Dinners, English Presentation and Club Dance

Hii Hr ■hhhium W|fep|"n JQI ! -v ; ' ‘jjjiiilliil $ ill!

TNDIANAPOLIS society opened its winter season Saturday evening with the Dramatic Club's amateur performance of “Kempy” followed by a supper dance at the Columbia Club. Although the event was characterized by all the brilliance of fashion, expensive decorations and overdisplay of jewels were conspicuously lacking as befitted smart society amusing itself in a depression year. The tastefully gowned women members made the motif of their ornament semi-precious stones and clever headdress combinations of simple gold, silver, tortoise shell and even mirrors. The men furbished up their ebony sticks and high hats to make themselves fitting escorts. Actors in this year's fall play were Miss Ruth Bybee Milliken, Mrs. William Munk. Mrs. Hathaway Simmons. Frank Hoke. Albert Deiuse, James Daggett. Wilson Mothershead and Mrs. Ricca Scott Titus, director, who substituted for Mrs. Joseph J. Daniels. The committee in control of the production included Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bennett. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Norvell and Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Thornton Jr. At the club during the supper and dancing many debutantes and lovely matrons presented a colorful picture of fashions. Particularly noticeable was the prevalence of hair ornaments, something which has been revived after many scenes of simple hairdresses. Mrs. William Garrigues. formerly Miss Helen Danner of New York, wore an exquisite ermine wrap, with a splash of color provided by a bouquet of orchids, and a beauanful clip of diamonds and star sapphires in her blond curls. Mrs. Garrigues is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Rose Danner. a a a MRS CONRAD RUCKELSHAUS’ dark beauty was offset by a fuschia gown, and her hair was crowned with a diadem of tiny crystal mirrors. Mrs. Irving Fauvre in platinum blue satin wore a tiara of minute rhinestone stars. Miss Eunice Dissette fastened her blond hair back off her face, by a rhinestone, half-moon-shaped ornament. Miss Dissette wore a three-quarter-length white lapin coat, cut in a point at the back. Miss Anne Ayres wore a black dress with deep decolletage which was outlined with a pleated white frill. She wore in contrast a burnt orange velvet wrap, collared in white fox. Miss Evelyn Chambers, who recently was graduated from Vassar college, was charming in a frock of Spanish inspiration, with bouffant sleeves and many tiers of ruffles on the skirt. Miss Cornelia Fairbanks’ beautiful coloring was enhanced by a violet gown, which

Deery, It’s ‘Sole-Less’ ‘Negligently Unguarded and Out of Repair’ Heel Named in Complaint Baffles City Attorney. THE affable and imperturbable James E. Deery. city attorney, was sitting in his office busily engaged in conducting his share of the city's business. He stiffened in his chair. “Can this be true.” murmured Mr. Deery, for once startled out of his legal calm.

Mr. Deery was reading a complaint filed against the city for $12,500. The words w'hich had so aroused his interest were: "Her heel on her left foot negligently was left unguarded and left out of repair." A recheck satisfied him his eyes were not deceiving him. Decidedly. this called for two heads, so Mr. Deery hailed Herbert H. Spencer, assistant city attorney. BBS HERB." said Mr. Deery, shamefacedly. "did you ever hear of a woman that ran around the streets with the heel of her left foot negligently left unguarded and out of repair?” “Huh—was she barefoot?" was the best Mr. Spencer had to offer. “I don’t know whether she was barefoot or riding a bicycle,” retorted Mr. Deery heatedly, “but what I want to know is why the city should be responsible for some dame that trots around the city with “the heel of her left foot negligently left unguarded and out of repair." Mr. Spencer speculated. “Why?" he finally decided. Mr. Spencer is addicted to asking "why.” Mr. Deery then explained that a suit for $12,500 has been filed against the city by Seth S. Ward as attorney for a woman residing on Villa avenue. Among other allegations, it contained the charge that the “heel of thfr left foot,” etc.

Sounds ‘screwy”’ offered Mr. Spencer, forgetting his Blackstone diction and lapsing into the vernacular. Mr. Spencer also is very addicted to lapsing. “It is,” agreed Mr. Deery, “I’m going to ask him for either actual or constructive proof of the defective condition before the city can be held liable for damages.” “That looks like your ‘sole’ hope.” said the merry Mr. Spenj cer. doing an “off to Buffalo” out | of range as Mr. Deery searched j for a suitable missile.

COSTUMES worn in the play were of interest. Particularly lovely w’as the gowm worn by Mrs. Simmons, as Kate Bence, in the last two acts. It was an afternoon frock printed in shades of pink, with a flowing train. In the first act she wore an ensemble of French blue wool, with a knee-length jacket which fastened high at the throat. Her hat in the first act was a brown felt Alpine model, w’ith a shallow brim, and high crown. Mrs. Munk wore an attractively-printed chiffon. in her role as Kate Bence's sister. It w r as in navy blue and w’hite. reaching to the ankles, and had full, short pleated sleeves. Later in the evening at the supper, Miss Ruth Milliken wore a very lovely dress in a soft bright shade of pink. The actors who had taken part in the play, when they arrived at the Columbia Club, were ushered, w’ith much clapping, to a long table on a raised dais at the side of the room, where they joined groups for supper and dancing. The colors worn were, for the most part, the new off-shades of green, plum, heliotrope and blue. Mrs. Munk wore a satin dress in the entrancing off-color, that is neither gray, green nor brown. Satin predominated over other fabrics. Heavy, shiny satin w’as cut on simple lines, leaving intricate cuts too the softer and more flaring fabrics. a a a MRS. MALOTT WHITE, a true platinum blond, wore rich turquoise satin. Her choice of color was provided by jade earrings. Mrs. Herbert Woollen looked like a picture out of the Renaissance in a dress of an off-ivory shade of satin with a parure of camelians set in wrought gold. Many corsages and shoulder bouquets were in evidence, but among the conventional gardenias and orchids was a newcomer in the ranks of party flowers, parma violets. Mrs. George Denny Sr. wore them at the throat of a lovely black gown, and Mrs. Simmons, leading lady of "Kempy,” wore violets on her shoulder. Jewelry particularly was worthv of note. The Anile for winter seems to calLfor either interesting semi-precious stones, real jewels or nothing but a large pair of rhinestone earrings. Among the gentlemen more white ties than usual were to be seen and top or op’ra hats were numerous. Lyman Ayres, just returned from a world cruise was present as were Willis Adams Jr„ William Knowles and Henry Johnston. Durr Freediv, wellknown artist, was a guest at the supper. Austin Brown, president of the club, and Mrs. Brown, daughter of Meredith Nicholson, wsre at a table with a party of friends.

Hayes, w r ho spoke yesterday afternoon. He said that the legion felt care of wartime disabled is the obligation of the federal government w'hom they served.
