BY BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor T= turnstile clicked rhythmically this morning as gay spirited and
brightly costumed race fans entered the Speedway for the annual 500-mile classic. Unrestrained laughter and eager chatting, mingled with
shuffling feet, sounded an overtone,
Gleaming new. cars shot through the gate after ticket takers said the word. The passengers tumbled out grasping motion picture cameras,
binoculars, pillows and lunch kits.
Women adjusted dark glasses under their large wide-brimmed Panama hats, shading their faces from a glaring sun. White stood out predominately in the kaleidoscopic view of the stands. Bright~looking colored prints, freshened by crisp touches of white, were mingled with the popular new glossy sharkskin gardenia white tailored suits, as the spectators hastened
to their places.
; Men, more fashion conscious than for many sea- : sons, swung down the aisles in loose hanging English ‘© tweeds, as loudly plaided as the bright gingham dress of the curly-topped youngster, eagerly grasping a bag of popcorn, or the checked shirt of the brown-suited man in the next box.

HIS young lady's sleek new regala matches the black and white color scheme of the Boyle racer and sets a precedent for other box holders who are challenged to dress up to the occasion in colorful fashion. ‘ Suede satin is the smooth, suave fabric of the two-piece frock and it is big news in the world of women’s wear. Cross bars of black and yellow plaid cover the white surface. Perky black patent leather bows and belt are sure to be beau catchers as well. : : The sun protector is a saucer-like topper of white cellophane with black grosgrain crown and bow. In the midst of broken speed records and shouting mobs our femme-of-fashion is bound to have her feet on the ground, wearing these man-made I. Miller white sandals. Her bag of white alligator goes round and round its wooden frame in classic style. Fortified for a drop in temperature she carries a white angora wool swagger coat with soft white fox collar—just in case the party goes on from there, and of course it will!
