ison, Katherine Parrish and Helen Jean Willcutts,

THAT FAMED SPECIMEN, the vanishing Indian, apparently is being joined by another retreating object— the vanishing social scene, which is doing its disappearing act as a result of the war. Even before the Pearl Harbor incident, important social events were being shorn of the lavishness formerly characterizing them. Since then, one social event after another has been canceled—wrapped up, so to speak, in defense contracts and tied with knitting wool.

An advance indication of war’s effect upon larger parties came early last December when the annual formal hunt ball of the Traders Point Hunt was superseded by a dinner dance. In addition, the size of the event was cut by limiting the number of guests hunt members were permitted to invite. Recently it was announced that there would be no “Come-A-Croppers” bali at the end of the hunt season this year. The dance, as its name indicates, does honor to those members of the hunt who have taken “headers” from their mounts during the season. The “Come-A-Croppers” were organized several years ago by Mrs. Otto N. Frenzel Jr. and other Traders Point members.

Traders Point Hunt Schedules Several Rides

THE HUNTS THEMSELVES, though, will continue beyond the official closing of the season which occurs each year on Washington's birthday. Alter that day members will ride, at 4 p. m., Feb. 26, from the Cornelius O. Aligs’ farm, Huntsend, and at 2:30 p. m, March 1, from the hunt kennels near Royalton.

Tomorrow, following the regular Sunday afternoon ride, Mr, and Mrs. Louis McClennen will entertain with a tea at their Crows Nest home. On Thursday afternoon, members will ride from Mr. and Mrs. Burford Danner’s Bit-Whip Farm.

Mr. and Mrs. William H, Wemmer’s Kinken Valley Farm will be the starting point for Feb. 15's hunt and the afternoon of Feb. 19 the Eugene C. Miller's Valley Stream Farm will be the starting point, On the official closing day, the huntsmen will gather at the Bohlenbrook Farm of Mr, and Mrs. August C. Bohlen.

Another event of interest to horsemen which is being omitted this year is the annual Wild Oats Ball sponsored by the Indiana Saddle Horse Association. E. A. Crane, I. S. H. A. president, in making the announcement of the ball’s cancellation, indicated that wars time activities were absorbing the attention of the membership—as indicated by the recently announced plan of organizing riders and mounts for emergency messenger service if disaster strikes,

Stansfield Circle Dance Canceled

CLOSELY UPON THE HEELS of the announcement concerning the Wild Oats Ball comes the news that the Stansfield Circle of the Meridian Street Methodist Church will not give its annual dance this season.

Mrs. T. Baxter Rogers is president of the circle which has as its project the support of the Meridian Club at the church, a com=munity center. Last year the dance was a “Dude Ranch Stampede” given at the Woodstock Club April 19. Mrs. William F. Wiggins of the organization reports that its work will be carried on through smaller events, sponsored principally by individuals. Along in mid-January, the Dramatic Club was giving consideration to the plan of dropping its April 18 production at the English Theater from its three-play schedule and combining the production with the club’s annual meeting early in May at the Woodstock Club. Even the light-hearted Lambs Club has “run afoul” the demands of war. Mr. and Mrs. F. Noble Ropkey, chairmen for the midwinter frolic to be given at the Columbia Club Feb. 21, are having casting difficulties because so many men of the club are putting in long hours on defense orders.

To Talk on Glass at Museum

“AMERICAN BLOWN AND MOLDED GLASS” will be the topic of a talk given tomorrow afternoon at John Herron Art Museum by Mrs. Grace Golden, executive secretary of the Children’s Museum. Her talk, at 4 o'clock in the assembly hall, will be open to the public: Mrs. Golden is instructor in antique decorative arts at Butler University. On a trip abroad several years ago she visited glass centers in Sweden, Venice and Czecho-Slovakia. Serving on the host committee of the Art Association of Indianapolis for the afternoon will be Mesdames Fisk Landers, Charles Latham and Eli Lilly, Messrs. John Collett, Harold B. Tharp and Oscar P, Welborn.

Several weeks of hard work by the Women’s Affairs Committee of the Civic Theater went for naught this week when word was received that Oscar Levant would be unable to make his scheduled appearance here tomorrow afternoon in the Indiana Roof Ballroom. Because of illness, the remainder of Mr. Levant’s bookings for piano recitals this season were canceled. Refunds on the several hundred tickets sold by the committee are being made at the Civic Playhouse.
