Scarlet Dress Coats ~ Accent Loveliness of
Women at ‘Bal Poudre’
_ Blue, Rose and Silver Used in Background Decorations at I. A. C; Lynn B. Millikans
|
To Leave for Florida on Wednesday.
By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON
For rococo loveliness we give you the “Bal Poudre” with a feminine ensemble resembling silver-crested porcelain figurines against a Christmas-y background of
men’s scarlet dress coats. | 1 The Indianapolis Athletic Club ballroom was the setting for the annual Traders Point Hunt ball Saturday evening. Alternating with tall silvered Christmas trees topped with parasols covered with blue, rose and silver foliage along the side walls were pairs of white parasols from which were suspended shiny cellophane balls. Centerpieces on the supper tables were small pink and blue umbrellars covered with flimy cotton snow which rose from bouquets of pink roses surrounded with matching foliage. Tiny bulbs concealed in the bouquets cast a soft glow. : ; Mrs. William H. Wemmér, wife of the hunt president, and Mrs. * Cornelius O. Alig, wife of the M. F. H,, received the 300 hunt members and their guests before a screen of mirrors against a background of palms. Mrs. Wemmer’s bare-shouldered chalk white gown was fashioned with a long-waisted fitted bodice of lace and a voluminous tulle skirt. She wore a cluster of tiny white orchids in her silverlacquered hair. Narrow bands of gold glittered on the full skirt and fitted bodice of Mrs. Alig’s white tulle gown. Her hair, too, was silvered and she wore a shoulder corsage of orchids.
Cotillion Dedicated to Hunt ;
-" Entertainment highlight of the party was the “Valse des Chasseurs,” an original cotillion figure dedicated to the Traders Point Hunt, led by Tala and Jaime, ballroom dancers. Favors were tiny uquets. : Fre. Wiliam Ray Adams, entertainment chairman for the ball, wore a hoop-skirted white slipper satin gown with gold tracery on the bodice accenting the gold glitter in her hair. Her corsage was of orchids. : : Mrs. Frederic M. Ayres Jr. wore a lei of gardenias with her crisp white tulle gown. Mrs. Earl B. Barnes wore yellow and purple orchids with her silver lame gown and gold lacquer on her hair. Her house guest, Mrs. Lowell H. Wilson of New York, was lovely in gold lame with woven design of black and rose. Her hair, too, was touched with gold and she wore purple orchids. Mrs. Charles Mayer's pale pink slipper satin gown was fashioned with full skirt and double rows of cording at the edge of the bodice. Her hair was silvered and her corsage of small white orchids. Mrs. Perry O'Neal wore a coronet of pink flowers in her gold-lacquered , hair and a white tulle gown with full skirt and shirred high-waisted bodice. The skirt of Mrs, Charles Harvey Bradley's white taffeta evening dress was fashioned of deep shirred flounces and the fitted
waist edged with a fold of taffeta.
Mrs. William E. Munk Wears Tiny Orchids
Mrs. William E. Munk, who had been hostess for one of the numerous dinner parties before the ball, chose pleated white chiffon with curled white ostrich extending on one side from waist to shoulder. In her high silver-lacquered coiffure she wore tiny white orchids. From the layers of white tulle which fashioned the skirt of Mrs. Sylvester Johnson's waltz dress brilliants glittered. She wore white ostrich tips in her silvered hair. | Mrs. W. Richardson Sinclair also wore white tulle with tracery of gold sequins on the full skirt. Mrs. Samuel B. Sutphin, whose hair sparkled with silver, wore brocaded white satin and a corsage of gardenias. Mrs. Herbert R. Duckwall chose white crepe with pleated skirt . and a bolero of gold sequins. Bands of black lace adorned the skirt of Mrs. Louis H. Haerle’s white tulle gown with which she wore a matching black lace bolero and a corsage of pink roses. In her silvered hair were white ostrich tips.

Junior League To Copyright Yule Museum
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 12 (U. P.).—The “Musee de Noel”—a shop described in announcements as ‘a one-stop service station for Christmas shop-
pers” and which made no sales to or profit from its fashionable customers—was closed today after a successful initial run of 10 days. Mrs. Etta Weld and Mrs. Margaret Chandler Porter, Junior League members and operators of the shop, announced that due to the success of the venture they planned to copyright the name “Musee de Noel,” or Museum of Christmas, and open similar projects in other cities next year. The shop opened in the lobby of the Hotel Jefferson on Dec. 1 with what the owners described as “a roundup of 351 outstanding articles priced at $5 or less selected from 36 smartest stores.” None of the merchandise was for sale, there was no stock of goods other than the articles displayed and no admission was charged shoppers. There was no advertising, although the enterprise received considerable attention in the women’s pages of newspapers. Success of the shop was demonstrated by the fact that more than 4000 visitors filled out cards which contained from one to 12 items. The shop made its porfit from retail firms which paid a fixed charge for having an article from their
{stock placed c¢n display at the
“Musee de Noel.” Each article displayed carried a card giving the name of the retailer, a fixed price and a number by which it was listed also at the retail store. Visitors to the “Musee de Noel” noted the number of their selections and then at their leisure phoned or mailed the numbers to the retail stores, making purchases without visiting the store itself and thus avoiding the Christmas rush and crowds.
