JANET NOYES MAKES SOCIETY DEBUT AT I. A. C. PARTY

Roca Baton Club Scene Portrayed Whole Fourth Floor Is Used for Spectacular F ete. BY BEATRICE BL'RGAN Sorlftv editor Indianapo'society is wading through the snow today with a memory of a short visit among the blooming flowers and tropical warmth of a tropical scene. Socialites were transported to the exclusive Roca Baton Club in Florida last night at the debut party of

Miss Janet Noyes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas H. Noyes, who made her bow to society while on vacation from Miss French's School of New York. The entire fourth floor of the Indianapolis Athletic Club became an authentic scene of the Southland

Miss Burgan

and a worthy reproduction of the Roca Baton Club. At one end of the dining room was an ocean shore scene with a yellow full moon in the dark blue sky. Real palm trees were silhouetted against the sky, and overhead the ceiling was concealed by a canopy reproducing the sky with clouds floating by. Yew trees stood straight against the garden walls of one side of the room, and across the way was the terrace of the reproduced clubhouse. Spaikling water splashed in a fountain, surrounded by a veritable garden of banana trees and flowers. Ted Weems’ orchestra played from a veranda, separated from the ballroom by balustrades, dripping ivy and marked with pots of flowers. Guests walked down the foyer, arched with drooping Spanish moss, interspersed with pink and white roses. Huge chandeliers in the lounge between the dining room and green room were hyng with moss, roses and orchids. Wishing Well in Center In the center was a wishing well; L on it was a pot of orchids and on the floor a tiny orange ytree. The entire end of the foyer was massed with flowers around a splashing fountain. Trees bearing oranges lined the garden wall as if trained by expert gardeners. The buffet table was laid with gold and blue lame cloth, brightened by silver baskets holding citrus fruits. Opposite the table, which stood in front of a make-believe whitewashed plaster wall, sheltered by a red-tiled semi-roof, was an ocean scene—the waves moved, seagulls dipped and soared in the blue sky. and a beacon in a lighthouse flickered on and off. Guests ate at tables with umbrellas over them. Small bowls of citrus fruits with occasional nowers brightened the tables. Miss Noyes received the guests in a pale gray-blue tulle gown, its skirt a mass of ruffles and the bertha collar caught up with a bunch of violets. Green orchids blossomed on Mrs. Noyes’ brown gown over blue. Mrs. Lilly in Black Velvet Mrs. J. K. Lilly Sr. attended in a black velvet gown, the V-neckline banded in rhinestones. A hipysngth accordion pleated cape swept Mrs. Eli Lilly's silver lame r gown, worn with rose-tinted gardenias. Ruching fluffed around the shoulders and square neckline of Mrs. Hobson Wilson's black net gown. A brown fur collar trimmed the floor-length green chiffon cape over Mrs. Frederic M Ayres’ gown. Light and dark green flowers were* massed at the square neckline of thp hunters’ green velvet gown, worn by Miss Anne Ayres, Mrs. Ayres’ daughter. Pale pink flowers were massed on the wide shoulder straps of the dark blue slipper satin gown of Mrs. Albert J. Beveridge Jr. McNutts Among Guests Gov. and Mrs. Paul V. McNutt were among the guests to greet the debutante. Mrs. McNutt's amythest velvet gown had a bodice gathered full around the neck, and heavy white lace formed wings over the back. Miss Betsy Home, one of the school girls enjoying the holidays, attended in a white taffeta gown, patterned with gold threads twisted in floral designs. A large loop of white moire formed a bustle line on Mrs. Paul DeValut’s gown, the neckline drawn up high in front by rhinestones, which divided into three strips to form the shoulder straps. Cascades of ruffles formed the train of Mrs. John Bertermann's black starched chiffon gown. She carried a colonial bouquet of red . carnations, frilled in white. Mrs. William Bertermann's white moire \gown was a mass of pleating from neck to hem Mrs. Mahaffev Wears Pink The bodice of Mrs. Thomas Mahaffey's dusty pink chiffon gown was embroidered in bugle beads: the decolletage separated by beaded bands joined the skirt, flaring full in a fan of pleats. Brown fur lined the cowl, which draped the back of Mrs. Irving Fauvre's white hammered satin gown. Burgundy flowers were printed on Mrs. Charles Harvey Bradley's turquoise chiffon gown. The black lace of Mrs. Samuel Reid's gown flared out from the knees to the hem. Wide ruffles on the bodice of Mrs. Donald Test’s black net gown, were edged in silver, also forming a narrow belt. Rhinestone links formed shoulder straps on Miss Louise Vonnegut's green tulle gown; the rhinestones sparkled beneath the saoulder cape. Many of the guests came from the Princeton Triangle Club show.

Flapper Fanny Says: REG U 8. PAT. OFF fim \ ft There’s little satisfaction in knowing that you can beat a retreat even though yn can’t beat the enemy*

OYttk OfU Jliij £ove by Mary Raymond Copyright NEA kjjj

BEGIN HERE TODAY Forces are at work that threaten the happiness of loveiv Dana Stanley and her poor but attractive husband. Dr. Scott Stanley. Dana's Rrandmother. who had hoped Dana would marrv rich Ronald Moore, hopes the rr.arriace will go on the rocks. Pauls Lone, who has been in love with Scott for vears. is also anxious for the marriage to fail. Meanwhile. Dana's half-sister Nancv. is in love with Ronald. Know-ins he loves Dana, she masks her feeling behind an antagonistic attitude. Paula goes to Scott’s office and asks him to prescribe for a severe headache Scott is puzzled by Paula's description of her suffering. Paula tells Dana about having lunch with Scott. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE THE six guests—Paula included —looked at Dana as Paula launched her surprise. “You had luncheon with Scott?” Dana exclaimed impulsively. Paula smiled. "Yes. He had been to see Evelyn Marston who’s ill with flu. Our apartments are on the same floor, you know. I was going over to inquire about her and ran into Scott.” ' “So you lassoed him and lugged him in to luncheon,” supplemented Ronnie dryly.

Everybody laughed, breaking the tension. “Yes.” Paula nodded. “It required my best lassoing. He was bent on eating at some awful restaurant, and hurrying on to some engagement or other, but I remembered it was his birthday and used that as an argument. What really won was probably the odor of broiled quail which floated out at the moment, opportunely.” Ronnie asked Dana later when the buzz of conversation kept others from hearing, “Don't you really care what Scott does? Or are you a firstrate actress, as I suspected at dinner?” “The funny part is I do care,” Dana said. “I’m just one of those stuffy wives who want to monopolize their husbands, especially on days like birthday’s. Isn't it silly of me to feel simply awful because Paula had luncheon with him and he wasn’t here at my birthday dinner?” “There’s no real harm in Paula,” Ronnie soothed. “She has her good points, only it happens she is quite definitely in love with your husband. And a woman in love can’t always be relied upon. I wouldn’t bank too much on Paula's friendship, if I were you, Dana.” “It won’t do her any good to be in love with him,” Dana said. “I shouldn't think so,” Ronnie agreed. There "was something flattering about Ronnie's loyalty and admiration. Tonight Dana found it unusually pleasing. tt tt o TT was while she was talking to Ronnie that Dana looked up and found Nancy staring at her. There was something so strange in Nancy's eyes that Dana was startled. All of the old antagonism was back in Nancy's gaze. It was ridiculous to think that, yet it was true. What in the world was back of it? Did Nancy think she was having a flirtation with Ronnie? “If she only knew,” Dana thought, amused, “that there isn’t a man in the world except Scott I’d look at twice.” The guests stayed late. Finally Paula insisted they must all go on to her place to play roulette on her new miniature table. Nancy refused, giving some excuse and Ronnie begged off because he was leaving town early in the morning. It ended with Ronnie taking Nancy home, leaving Ted free to go with the others to Paula's. Nancy, Dana thought, looked pleased over the change in partners. She didn't blame her. Ted was a bore. When the door closed behind her guests Dana walked slowly into the kitchen. Azalea had left, everything i is neat as a pin, and a low’ blaze | was keeping Scott's dinner w’arm. It had been a .successful party, i And Scott had not even arrived (for, the tail end of the festivities. ; It had all been planned for him, ! and he might as well have been at the North Pole. Dana told herself she was being a poor sport. After all, it hadn't been any fun for Scott to have to rush away and then eat his birthday dinner alone. She was in this mood of penitence when she met Scott at the door at 2. She had heard his key in the lock, and had put on slippers and a robe. U tt tt SCOTT was tired, disheveled, sleepy. But he was pleased. Immensely pleased. He didn’t want anything, he said, except some hot coffee. Asa concession to Dana's pleadings, he nibbled at the food and praised it carelessly. His mind, she could see, was back on the drama in the home he had just left. Scott was acting. Dana thought, as though a baby had never been born before. “Fine young beggar,” he 7a id. “Weighed eighjj pounds, two ounces. No winder he gave me so much trouble. And could he yell! “And what do you think. Dana?” Scott went on. “When Mrs. Lawsor. heard that it was my birthday, nothing w’ould do but that the youngster Should be named for me —Scott Lawson. Not a bad name, w’hat?” “I didn’t say anything," Dana teased. She w’as back in bed now. Sitting up. watching Scott who sprawled negligently at the foot. “But of course.” Dana conceded, “it's really a beautiful name.” “Os course it is,” Scott bragged. Dana curved her lips in a forgiving kiss. “You ma’’ kiss me because I’m rather fond of you—all the same.” Scott kissed her, giving her a bear hug at the same time. “Why the supplementary phrase?” Scott inquired carelessly, evidently not understanding that he w’as being forgiven. Evidently not realizing there was anything to forgive! Then, not waiting to be answered, he said, “Gosh, am I tired But it was a great, big, beautiful battle while it lasted.” Dana said disdainfully, “What's so great, big and beautiful about I it? Babies get born every day.” j “Not the way I get ’em bom,” Scott replied boastfully. “Oh, well,” said Dana sleepily, “skip the details till breakfast.

Then we'll decide what we're gom? to give that youngster as a birthday present." 808 SHE had lived up to that vow of hers never to interfere with Scott's profession. After all. a birthday party was only a birthday party. And was relatively unimportant, compared to one's first day on earth. But Dana did want, when the time came, to suggest delicately to Scott that when he had a birthday luncheon or any other kind of luncheon with a woman friend, he might let her in on it. So that she wouldn't have that open-eyed, open-mouthed stare when the news was sprung on her. Deep down, some instinct of caution warned Dana that it would be wiser to say nothins at all about that luncheon with Paula. But the temptation was too strong. “It's always best to talk things out.” Dana argued with herself. “Always best to talk things out.” She had no opportunity to mention the subject until the next evening. Scott was manfully aiding in the kitchen, stacking dishes that belonged on a high shelf, when Dana said. “Paula said you had luncheon with her yesterday.” “Yes. Mrs. Marston, a friend of hers, called me in. I suspect Paula recommended me to her." “And then you went to Paula's for luncheon.” “That’s right. That girl has the most tenacious memory. She remembered it was my birthday and when I came out she was all ready with a dozen arguments why I ; should come in. Did I tell you they are on the same floor? Paula and Mrs. Marston.” ''No,'’ Dana replied. “But Paula did." For the first time Scott sensed a current in the calm. He shot a look at Dana, who was busy wiping the already spotless front of the enameled stove. “You didn't mind my having luncheon with Paula did you?” Scott asked in amazement “No. Only I wish you had told me about it before Paula did.” she said. “There goes my old ball and chain,” Scott jeered. Dana flushed. She had sounded stuffy. “I really didn’t mind your having luncheon at Paula's, I think,” Danu went on, “but it was having hei tell it at the party, as though she had achieved something.” Scott laughed. “That's like old Paula. What do you mean, you ‘ think you wouldn’t mind?” “I'm just trying to be honest about it,” Dana answered. “I'm not sure I wouldn't mind if you made ! a practice of it. I'm afraid 1 would, i Scott. I'm only human.” " Only a woman, you mean.” “Wouldn't you mind if I lunched with Ronnie?’’ “Not in the least if there were a reason for it.” “I suppose there would be as much reason as for you to lunch with Paula.” And then Dana regretted her impulsive words. Scott said, slowly, “Well, for one reason—” and then stopped. Dana asked, her clear eyes on his, “What reason?” Scott hesitated, A man didn’t disclose professional secrets—or shouldn’t—even to his wife. After all, it was pnly an ugly suspicion that he had about Paula. He couldn’t tel! Dana he had accepted her invitation, hoping to find out something that would help him put his finger on her trouble. It wouldn’t be decent to poison Dana’s mind about her. “Oh, nothing,” he said, carelessly. Dana did not pursue the subject. | But a shadow, no bigger than a woman's hand, lay between them.
