Show Dance Originated by Ned Test City Student Contributed to Production by Princeton Club. BY BEATRICE BURG AN Times Woman’s Pare Editor. CATCHY tunes in the ‘Fiesta,’ musical show of the Princeton Triangle Club, are tingling in the ears of hundreds in the country. When Ned Test, freshman at the university, was home during the Christmas holidays, he was caught frequently humming Fiesta Time” and other lyrics from the show. Ned probably didn't tell his

friends of his share in the success of the show He couldn’t appear in it because of his first year standing, but he is responsible for one of the exhibition tangoes in the show. Last spring at the children’s party of Mrs. William Byram Gates' dancing classes at the Propylaeum Club, Ned and Miss Elinor Stick-

u

Miss Burgan

ney arranged a tango and danced for the children as part of the entertainment. With slight variations the same dance is presented in "Fiesta,” which had its opening Dec. 29 at the university, preceding its tour through various cities. Ned taught the dance to the chorus of men, disporting themselves as chorines, convincing enough when not viewed too closely. Even grease paint can’t entirely conceal shaven chins, and masculine knees seldom escape being knobby. The show was an important part of the holiday entertainment of Chicago society, and boxes at the auditorium were filled with the younger set, which attended a Princeton dance after the show. The Progressive Club about twenty years ago designated a group of women crusading for the cause of feminism and interest in governmental problems. "The name will do until we think of something better,” the founders decided. Nothing more descriptive was thought of, and today working together under the original name, many of the daughters of the founders and early members are contributing to the club’s program. Talcott Powell, editor of The Times, will address the group when it meets Monday at the home of Mrs. Jesse Fletcher. Three founders, Miss May Louise Shipp, Mrs. Hugh McGibney and Mrs. Jacquelin S. Holliday still attend meetings. The late Mrs. Meredith Nicholson was another founder. The women who educated themselves in matters such as woman's place in governmental and civic affairs, really laid a groundwork for the League of Women Voters’ activities. Among the daughters and daugh-ters-in-law of early members who usually attend the meetings are Mrs. Sylvester Johnson and Mrs. Noble Dean, daughters of the late Mrs. Nelson Gladding; Mrs. Frederick Holliday and Mrs. Perry O’Neal, daughters of Mrs. Jacquelin S. Holliday; Mrs. Jack Gould, daughter of Mrs. Frank Manley, and Mrs. Donald Jameson and Mrs. John Jameson, daughters of Mrs. Ovid Butler Jameson.

Ayres Models Appear in j Latest Suggestions for Southern Resort Clothes Blue and White Print Costume in Geometric . * Design and Three-Piece Travel Suit Among Interesting Items. BY HELEN LINDSAY SHE was a very tiny girl, still interested in the stories of Prince Charming, Aladdin’s lamp, and all of the other childhood classics. Asa special treat, she had been taken to Ayres tearoom for a Saturday luncheon. The last bit of peppermint stick flavored ice cream had disappeared before her. Mother gathered up her gloves and purse in preparation for another shopping tour. The little girl looked up dismayed. “Don’t let’s leave yet, mother,” she begged. “Wait till the fairy princess comes in again.” That’s the story they tell of Virginia Judd, model at Ayres tearoom, whose fresh blonde beauty has been admired by luncheon guests at the tearoom, where she displays youthful and charming

costumes from the Budget Shop. Virginia is one of four models at Ayres. She Is still a student at Butler university. She was doing parttime work at one of the city libraries when she became interested in modeling. W’ithout a word to her sorority sisters, she applied for a position at Ayres, and was accepted. To some at the Ayres tearoom audience, she is “the fairy princess." Others call her “the girl who looks like Jean Harlow. But to interested customers, she is the girl who is dressed attractively in inexpensive clothing. One of the newest costumes modeled by Miss Judd is a blue and white print, taken from the new collection by Paul Sargent, just received by . Ayres. It is in geometric design, and illustrates the value of prints for southern wear during the winter months. Made on plain, straight lines, the charm of the frock is accented by an unusual collar, which is lined with white taffeta.

and flares out across the shoulders, coming together in the front, where it is fastened with a white taffeta bow. With it Miss Judd wears a white tricorne hat. with shallow crown, made of a knit straw fabric, white doeskin gloves and a white leather purse, which has the appearance of pique. A suggestion has been made that black accessories will make the dress serviceable upon a return to the north. a tt a a a a Shows American Beauty Chiffon Gown LEADING the procession of tearoom models is Lucinda Smith, who has the distinction of having been selected by Jo Copeland, outstanding New York designer, as a model for her fall opening last year. Lucinda is an Indianapolis girl, who did her first modeling at Ayres, where she displayed dresses made from fabrics on sale in the store. She has a queenly, gracious manner, and has the distinction of looking “not like a model, but like one of Ayres’ own customers.” Yesterday she appeared in an American Beautv chiffon gown, accenting the new swirl silhouette. The dress is slightly longer in back than in front, and achieves the swishing effect around the feet with tiny bunches of pleats. The neck is cut square, very low in back, and slightly low in front. Around the neckline a wide soft piece of pleated chiffon is fitted. At the waist there is a huge pansy blue velvet flower. With this dress Lucinda wears two rhinestone bracelets, and pumps dyed to match the dress. Her hair was dressed yesterday in anew design, very flat on top, and lifted up and to the side in back, in a semi-swirl. Darker than bottle green is the unusual shade of a dress modeled by Mrs. Mildred O'Reilly, who illustrates to tearoom visitors the quiet dignity and grace of the more mature figure. The dress is of Egyptian crepe, which is a silk and wool mixture, and fits her figure in sheath-like fashion. Around the bottom is a pleated frill, and the same pleating has been used at the arm-holes, in cape sleeves. The only ornament on the gown is a buckle of rhinestones, baquettes and chrysophase. With the gown, Mrs. O’Reilly wears white kid gloves, of sixteen-button length, and one of the bracelets from the collection designed for the stage production of “Roberti.” a a a a a a Suit for Travel to South Displayed THE worry of the model is to answer intelligently the questions which tearoom guests ask. The most frequent one is “Do you have that in another color?” Vivian Fleming, whose sophisticated manner and distinguished charm have caused her to be compared to the Parisian couturiers’ models, usually appears in the newest vogue in suits and coats when she promenades slowly through the teamroom. She is stopped frequently by interested spectators, and asked in whispers, “What foundation garment do you wear?” The Ayres modeling, is individual with the store. Every detail of the costume is selected to complete the costume, from corset to jewelry, handkerchief, and perfume. Miss Fleming showed recently a three-piece travel suit, suggested for southern use, and for later town wear. It is of lightweight tweed, unlined, and shows a monotone pattern. It can be worn with or without a blouse. The buckle at the belt of the jacket of the dress is a huge wooden one. The coat is straight and loose, in seven-eighths length. With it Miss Fleming wore a beige felt hat, with a shallow creased crown. Its only trimming was a brown band of ribbon, with two tiny crosses of the felt over it at the front. Her footwear was leather town shoes in brown.
