Wall Party Invitations Cause Stir Recipients Preparing Eagerly for Masked Ball Event. BY BEATRICE BIRGAN Time* Homan'i Editor. AY little invitations to a mask ball Saturday night have aroused anticipations of friends of Colonel William Guy Wall. Interest wn? stirred when gold and black invitations fluttered from envelopes in last week's

mail. Flaps cut as black masks concealed everything but the date. “This is something different,” th p recipients whispered in delight, and hurried to lift the flaps and read the invitations. They read: “Colonel William Guy Wall bids you come one and

For j once, we have a chance to be what j wV would be. We can escape the I self that shadows us every day. We j can assume the artifices that we'll never dare attempt in our routine lives. This will be ft busy week of i scheming and designing. Guests are ! looking forward to seeing ingenious j ideas developed into original ] costumes. Those invited are eager to go to the party because never yet has Colonel Wall failed to entertain in a unique manner. His parties are famous.

Paris Offers Single Costume for All Hours By United Press PARIS, Jan. 16. —How often do you wake up in the morning, knowing you have to be at the office in forty minutes, and wonder what in the world to wear? You look out the window and it might, or it might not rain, snow, sleet or shine. You have a cocktail date at six so you can't get heme for a change of costume. And from there you're going to dinner early and informally and to the theater afterwards. That's what vou call a full day in any language, and with the modern woman, who works and doesn’t let her work completely cut off her fun, it might even be called a more or less average day. And here is where Paris steps in to help. This year Paris has set herself the task of dressing the woman who leaves home at 8 or 9 a. m. and doesn't get back until midnight or later. In a word, an expert use of the jacket and hat with proper accessories does the trick. The severity of a tailored jacket or three-quarter coat will conceal the informality of a frilly evening blouse, or decollete bodice of a simple dress or skirt. Reversible jackets and capes aha lend informality to a formal costume and the reverse, and offer a contrast both in material and color. SORORITY ALUMXAE PLAN STATE DAY Mrs. John W. Graves, assisted by Miss Leatha Wood, Noblesville. entertained members of the Indianapolis Alumnae chapter. Phi Omega Pi sorority, at her home, 5263 East Tenth street. Saturday afternoon.

Ward’s Pet Shop Keeps Stock of Unusual Food for Strange Inhabitants Parrot Formerly Owned by Mrs. Thomas Noble Sr. Now at Store; Imported Worms Among Items on Menu. BY HELEN LINDSAY THE talking parrot which is on the bill at the Palace this week is similar to one which formerly belonged to Mrs. Thomas Noble Sr. and which is now at Ward's Pet Shop. Mrs. Noble's parrot is one of a pair which she purchased in London about four years ago, and which has in its repertoire the conversation of the Noble family members, in almost exact mimicry. The bird, while living in the Noble home, learned to call the former

Dr. Noble Sr. in imitation of his wife. In addition, it was able to imitate tire maid's voice, and that of the butler. Unlike the bird at the Palace, he performs not when called upon, according to Richard Ward, proprietor of the Ward shop, but at his own inclination. Both the parrot at the theater and the one which formerly was owned by Mrs. Noble are of the highest class of intelligence in the parrot family, the African Grey species. Next in ranking in intelligence are the Mexican Yellows, a number of which are owned by Indianapolis persons, and then the Rosa Cockatoo, and the Scarlet Laurie, both Irom Australia. Seasons of the year and national events have much to do with the questions asked on the care of pets at Ward’s. Now, when many persons are spending the winter in Florida, requests are coming in from Indianaolis friends who have received small alligators as gifts, for information on their care and feeding.

Other tropical animals, frequently received as gifts, are chameleons, horned toads from Texas and tropical fish and birds. Recently one Indianapolis person received as a gift from a friend in Arizona a tiny baby garter snake. It has been brought to Ward's for care, where it is being fed on dried worms and insects. a a a a a a ‘Meal Worms’ Important as Diet THE habit of presenting friends at home with unusual pets makes it necessary for Ward's to keep on supply at all times "meal worms." which are necessary in the feeding of almost all tropical animals, birds and fish. Owners of the troupial birds, which are from South America, and closely resemble the Baltimore oriole, feed them dried insects. The Mexican clarino. a popular bird which resembles the American mocking bird, also must have this kind of food. The clarino is taken from the nest when young by the Mexican natives, and raised by hand. In addition to meal worms, these birds must be fed raw scraped beef and dried berries. Ward's Shop was established in Indianapolis more than twenty years ago. At that time Mr. Ward’s father was the proprietor, and sold numerous strange animals as pets to Indianapolis children. Bear cubs, monkeys and snakes were not unusual gifts. Now. with smaller homes, it is no longer practical to house pets of this kind, and the bov cr girl’ who wants a pet must be satisfied with the smaller dogs, dancing mice, and bright colored birds. a a a a a a Shop Idea Brought Frayn New York THE elder Ward became interested in the pet business through assocation with his wife's brother-in-law. W. A. Conklin, original superintendent of the Central Park zoo. New York. Mr. Ward and Mr. Conklin established the first of the department store pet shops in Siegel-Cooper s. in New York. Later Mr. Ward came to Indianapolis, and opened a pet store. Because of the variety of his pets, he had to produce much of their food. His son recalls that he bred “meal worms” with which the tropical birds and animals were nourished. They were placed in a laige tin cracker box, on a two-inch layer of rolled oats. Over the oats, a few dozen meal worms were placed, and these were covered by tom up bits of newspaper, and a half inch layer of corn meal. The can was kept covered with dampened muslin, and within it tha worms changed from the larva stage to the bug form, and back to larva. a a a a a a 11 riggly Commodity Costs $1.25 a Bound iyr ow Richard Ward, son of the original proprietor of the shop, buvs the worms from importers, paying $1.25 a pound for them in a live state. He dries them Slowly, during which time thev lose 20 per cent in weight. In addition to meal worms, tropical flies and dried water bugs must be kept as food for the strange pets. Wards is showing now specially made leather shoes for the use of small, long-haired dogs in snow. Practically any tvpe of food cage or accessory necessary for the care of a pet is available at the store.
