Riding Enthusiasts To State Fairgrounds
Col. Wolford Renews Old Ft. Harrison Ties
Between Sessions As Judge of Hunters By KATY ATKINS STATE FAIR WEEK MEANS many things to many people—education, amusement, great pride in the quality and quafitity of the exhibits, and even irritagion to those who can’t cross 38th St. because the cars go-
ing east fhil to get through on the traffic light changes.
To the riding group, the Horse Show is the focal point. It's fortunate that some of the classes were cut down out of the ring or the enthusiasts never would have got to bed. John Wolford of Milford, Kas., who judged the hunters, stayed with Mr. and Mrs, Cornelius Alig. They had friends in to meet him last Monday afternoon and it was almost the only time they saw him, as his duties kept him at the fairgrounds day and night. Col. Wolford has many ties here since he was stationed at Ft. Harrison at one time and played polo. He was military attache in Ireland which must have been an interesting post.
Tuesday was Wayne King's first appearance at the Coliseum ‘ which made it very gala, Mr, and Mrs. Jack Morgan of "Aus-
hand that night to see their young son, Ivan, get second place in the class for horsemanship under 18. Mrs. Morgan is pretty person and

The Walter Kuhns and Barret Moxley were at Mr. and Mrs. Fred Appel's over Labor Day.

Annual Pilgrimage MR. AND MRS. Sylvester Johnson got home Wednesday. They had a very gay household in Michigan — 13 people in the house one night. Mr. Johnson went east for a couple of days for the tennis at Forest Hills. This is an annual pilgrimage . for him and we always enjoy hearing news of the players since so many of them have stayed with tennis enthusiasts here when Indianapolis has ‘had big tournaments. Lyman and Isabel Ayres are home from Virginia Beach where Isabel most of the summer. Mrs. William C. Bobbs has gone to Northport Point to visit Mrs. William Rockwood. Mr. and Mrs. Ted Steele entertained at supper a week ago tonight. Among the guests were Dr. and Mrs. Herbert Gaskell who came here this Simmer from Philadel-

By JEAN TABBERT YOUNG INDIANAPOLIS knows what it wants when it builds or buys a permanent home. And the couples planning those steps waste little time in outlining their blueprints for that future living. They'll have an excellent opportunity to “window. shop” this week. The “Parade of Homes," jon: County Residential Build-
« ers Association, to increase
interest in building, begins today and lasts through Saturday. In the line-up are 1094 dwellings in many sections of the city, Including houses in every stage of construction.
Paneled Den
Ranch-style homes rate first with most of the young set. Mary Theresa and Berry Smith, ‘who live in an apartment at 1603 Central Ave. prefer them because of the spread out look the homes have. They like big rooms, plenty of light and sunshine. Planning to build in several years they include a paneled den, book shelves and a liv; ing room “two steps down from the hallway” as luxury
‘points in their program. Berry
is a representative of an automobile firm here.
Picture Windows
Picture windows—with an if—are also popular. The “if” depends on whether they are sectioned. This is a must so

far as all the young people ’
are, concerned for the single plate glass window is taboo with them all. The Smiths also will insist on another thing. Their yard must be large and fenced. That's because of their baby, Kevin, and the larger-family they hope to have someday.
Long Living Room
Mary Theresa will purchase automatic laundry facilities before she thinks of worksaving kitchen appliances And both the Smiths think some kind of porch is necessary. “It doesn't have to be in front,” they say. “In fact, we'd rather have it in the back or on the side. for privacy’'s sake.” They want a long living room with the dining part in the same room. “It should be separated in some way, however. We think the addition of dining quarters will make the room seem longer.”
Large Yard
There'll be" a family argument when Miss Marge Hartley and Robert Pierce decide on a home. Each has a definite opinion, Marge voting for the Cape Cod style and Bob holding out for the ranchtype. Marge is living with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W. Hartley, 4419 Washington Blvd., and Bob, a manufacturers salesman, is from Crown Point. Their marriage is set for early spring. Marge and Bob will buy instead of build their home because his work may force them to move often. They'll make provision for a social room, and, because they want a cocker spaniel, their yard-to-be must have lots of space.
Dining Room
“I may be old-fashioned.” “but it seems to me a dining room that's a separate room-is essential. I don't want food smells drifting into my living room.” She thinks a fireplace would add a homey touch, but it isn’t a “must.” As to electric appliances in the kitchen, Marge doesn’t believe a dishwasher is vital
“as long as there is someone “rie =
compaiiy while I'm doing the dishes.
It would be one of the last things we'd buy.” “Marge and Bob want "a porch, too, one that's screened in and at the back of the house “so iis not exposed to we wholg world.” They'll

Correlate Plans
George and Barbara Deck he's in insurance —will buy a home this spring, then build one later on when “the budget allows.” They'll look for three bedrooms, but a twobedroom house may be “the only one we can afford.” They're in favor of a one floor dwelling, too; and figure that a fireplace both ruins the bank balancé and the wall space in a small home. , A separate dining they and it's especially nice with a family. The Decks were married in August of last year, and they stand together on everything. question of correlating their individual plans, they say. Their chief dislike is the picture window, but they do admire bay windows, especially if they're small-paned. Their present apartment is at 2152 N. Meridian St.

Bay Window Popular
The bay window idea appeals to Bernice and Richard O'Connor, who were just married last month. “It seems more graceful than the picture type,” Bernice says. The O’Connors moved into an apartment at 1240 Broadway after they were married. They'll stay there until they build, a couple of years from now, ) The Cape Cod house, twostoried with a gabled roof, is their choice, and they've even picked the color of brick—red and white, They'd ike a din‘ing room, too, and think a den” important,
