Suited to the varied tastes are the week-end's social activities which offer vistas of grace, elegance and beauty in garden and flower exhibits, sensory delight in music, as well as the more mundane pleasures associated with the popular national pastime. Careful planning is required to fit neatly into one short day and a half the Park School Mothers’ Club Garden Tour, the flower show at the Herron Art Museum, the Propylaeum Club dinner, at which Mrs. Earl B. Barnes is to give a program of songs, and the baseball game tonight, sponsored by the Orchard School Parents’ Association.

Roses in Bloom for Garden Tour

The garden tour, which is one of those superb charm-at-little-price movements, was timed carefully to exploit the season's bumper crop of roses, along with the usual late June blossoms which are bursting forth nearly three weeks early this year. The 12 gardens on the excursion, which are to be open from 11 a. m. to 6 p. m. today and tomorrow, are those of Miss Lucy Taggart, Eli Lilly, Nicholas H. Noyes, Hugh McK Landon, Mrs. Frank D. Stalnaker, J. K. Lilly Jr., J. I. Holcomb, Perry O'Neal, Charles J. Lynn, Blaine H. Miller, Gerry M. Sanborn and J. K. Lilly. Tea is to be served both afternpons in the Park School gymnasium amid artistic flower displays, potted plants from private greenhouses and. an exhibition of dinner, luncheon and breakfast tables arranged by well-known Indianapolis hostesses. The judges who are to pin red and blue ribbons on the exhibits at 12:30 today are Miss Blanche Stillson, Mrs. B. F. Orr and Otto H. Lawrenz.

An informal hunt breakfast table, reminiscent of the Traders Point Hunt, has been arranged by Mrs. William C. Griffith as the latest entry in the table exhibit. Upon a sheer linen cloth with appliqued hunting scene of horses, riders and hounds will be used china in hunt design brought from Mr. and Mrs. Griffith's country home at Traders Point. Deep red rambler roses blending with the pink-coated figures on the cloth will provide the center decoration.
