Visits of Ex-Residents

Lend Atmosphere of Old Home Week

State Symphony Society's Two Fashion Teas Mobilize Cultural Resources of Community

By KATY ATKINS THIS HAS REALLY BEEN old home week, because of the return of many natives for all too brief visits. Mrs. Kenneth Ogle Sr. went back to California Friday

after a stay with her son, Kenneth, and his wife, Penny. It gave her an opportunity to renew acquaintance with her granddaughter and to see her new grandson who was christened on Sunday.

Mrs. William Offing of St. Louls also left

MRS. ATKINS

Friday after a visit with her mother, Mrs, H. M. Glichrist, at the Marott Hotel. Mrs, Jeannette Reid Healy who was here with her mother, Mrs. William Reid, for some weeks has returned to her home in the South. Betsy Byram was the pleasant excuse for a flutter ‘ of activity recently. Frances Carnihan, with whom she lives in Washington, was here too. Miss Carnihan and Billy Luten, daughter of Mrs. Dan Luten, had shared quarters in London when both were there with UNRRA. Jane and Arthur Lathrop and their three children flew in from California in their own plane last Monday and will be with Jane's

mother, Mrs. Julian Bobbs, until tomorrow, By a happy circumstance Jane's sister and brother-in-law, Sally and Henry Hope of Bloomington, got back from Europe yesterday so the whole family was able to be together. Sally's oldest boy, Peter, is leaving for Choate School. Mrs. Harry Atkins of Winter Haven, Fla, has been at the Propylaeum for two weeks. Her sister, Miss Mary Winter,

The Women's Committee of the Indiana State Symphony Society sponsored two very successful fashion teas at Block's last Wednesday and Thursday. The center pieces of each table were made of individual bouquets which served as favors for the guests who also received attractively packaged small gifts,

League Sponsors Panel MRS. JOHN Bookwalter was hostess for a party and Mrs. Easley Blackwood was among those there that day. Josephine -Madden, chairman of the committee, made a graceful speech of welcome to the guests. It was a full day for Josephine as she appeared on the panel discussion at the Junior League meeting at Woodstock that morning. Walter Whitworth was the charming and moderate moderator. Other panel members were Kitty Pantzer, Marion Fotheringham , and Agnes Wade, presenting the

cultural resources of the com- -

munity. It was an impressive total and interesting in that they pointed out many opportunities for being either a spectator or a participant in the realms of art, music, literature or the theater. Mrs. William Beard and Mrs. William Tomlinson gave the report of the puppet conference through the medium of a puppet show, using two engaging little animals to do

their talking for them. In-_

¥ MRS. MAE Perry returned

from Detroit last Tuesday where she had been for two weeks as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd G. Hooker in Grosse Pointe. She bought news of Mr. and Mrs. John Ford. Mrs, Ford is the former Katherine Tanner of “Bobby” Ford, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Ford, has en-

check on his pretty daughters finds Ann married with two little boys, Jane having a job at Lake Success with United Nations and Nancy an air line stewardess on a run to Mexico City. It doesn’t seem very long since Lucy O'Neal and 1, not much older than Ann is now, took that young lady as a baby back to her parents after a visit with her grandmother, the late Mrs. Lafayette Page Sr. We didn’t know much about babies and were awfully glad to see Mary Page at Grand Central Station waiting to reclaim her daughter,

By AGNES H. OSTROM NE ‘BLUE JEANS" WILLIAMS was Indiana Governor and the telephone was first introduced into Indianapolis, nine women organized the second oldest women's musical club in America. The Indianapolis Matinee Musicale is only a few years younger than the Rossini Club of Portland, Me. On an early November day eight of these music-loving ladies crossed the cow paths on foot and traveled the unpaved streets in their Jenny Lind buggies to a frame house near 11th and Delaware Sts. Their hostess was Mrs. A. G. Cox, club founder. Some were members of church choirs. Some belonged to mixed choruses. But all enjoyed music. As they sat in the parlor beneath the paintings by Jacob Cox, pioneer Hoosier artist (Mrs, Cox's father-in-law), they talked and planned. And they proposed - “mutual assistance in perfecting themselves, as far as possible, in the history of music.” The first regular meeting, Nov. 20, again "in Mrs. Cox's home, was a far cry from the programs offered nearly a thousand members today. The ladies read from a book, “A General History of Music From the Earliest Time.” The city librarian had suspended a library rule to loan the volume, The charter members, Mesdames Cox, W, F. Baggs, Clara H. Eddy, U. J. Hammond, O. H. Hasselman, W. C. Lynn, 8. L. Morrison and M. H, Spades and Miss Emma Ridenour, made no attempt to enlarge the club that year. The Ladies Matinee Musicale (the early name) boasted only 21 women, . By the fall of 1882 the group had become more ambitious, Assisted by Max Leckner, a piano instructor in the city, they

order, beginning with Bach and ending with Gade and Lassen. The next year they studied the first and second classical and the romantic periods. Other clubs began seeking their services for guest programs. The first entertainment—solos, duets and quartettes—was the evening of July 3, 1878, In 1883 they initiated the artists’ recitals when William H. Sherwood, a New Yorker, was engaged for three nights at reduced rates. Selling him to Terre Haute for one performance was all that saved them financially. President's Day and open days were inaugurated in 1890.

The group was fast establishing itself as one advancing the interests and raising the standards of musical art in Indianapolis. Through members moving out of town, it gave its name and constitution to young societies in various parts of the country. ” Student and junior sections and the choral section are marking their 20th anniversary this year. There are over 300 members in these first two groups, 100 students and some 200 juniors,

Jewelry in Copper

Complements Tweed Costumes

Cosmetic News: A Non-Smear Lipstick, And Two Ways to 'Tote' Perfume

By LOUISE FLETCHER, Times Woman's Editor A NOVELTY in costume jewelry—and a happy ine spiration for wear with this fall's tweeds—is a series of copper pieces they've just unwrapped at Charles Mayer's. Warmth of the ‘copper’s color makes it a perfect complement for tweeds. Good with tailored or spectator sports clothes in other fabrics, too. And it has the virtue of looking impressive without appearing “flashy.” By Renoir, the jewelry has been put

through a special process to insure it against tarnish and finger marks.

The line includes bracelets, earrings, necklaces, hair barrettes and “pocket” pins— new name for scatter pins since pockets are so “big” In fall fashions, i A Necklaces and, bracelets come in flexible link styles (one bracelet with an order medallion dangle is pictured). Many of the motifs are carried right through the series in companion pieces. For example, the order medallion

on the bracelet is used, in

smaller versions, for earrings and for “pocket” pins. In the photo, the small trio of pleces at the top (medallion, eagle and mask) are pins, Three of many earring designs appear at the bottom of the picture. The large oval is especially designed to take an engraved initial. The belt. and-buckle- motif. earclip matches a wide cuff bracelet in the series. There are sev. eral of these cuff bracelet styles, Two outstanding necklaces employ a wheat motif and a shadow box design, The latter has a matching bracelet. Pins are $1.20 and $2.40. Earrings are $2.40 and $3.60, Barrettes, big and little, are $2.40, The bracelet shown is $3.60. Others are $4.80 and $6. All the prices mentioned include the tax.

Beauty Buys

NEW non-smear lipstick has made its appearance in Wasson's cosmetic department. It Is

“Guitare,” made by a French formula. It is applied and

left on for 20 minutes during

which the lips are not

- touched. . Then .it is blotted

and the excess rubbed off

with tissue. They say it stays

on four to eight hours without leaving tell-tale traces on drinking glasses; cigarets, linens, etc. It comes in eight shades; $1 plus tax.

You can wear a reserve supply of perfume in a bracelet (or a necklace) they have at Wasson's. Container for a small quantity of perfume takes the form of a teardrop charm’ or dangle suspended from necklace or.chain bracelet. Unjeweled ones, with the necklace or bracelet, are $1.95 plus tax. Jeweled ones, like

that pictured, aire $295 to . . $5.95 plus tax.

. . . Another way suggested by Wasson's to tote your favorite scent with you is Elizabeth Arden’s “Perfumalir,” a pocket or purse flasket. It is a small glass vial with jeweled golden cap and, by way of a “touch-valve” conduit, it releases a drop of perfume when it is touched to the skin. This conduit prevents leakage and evaporation. The thing, with sapphire blue, red or emerald-green setting, comes in a gray suede-cloth case. It holds one and a quarter drams of Arden perfume-— your choice of “Blue Grass,” “My Love” “On Dit” or “Night and Day.” Its $2.50 plus tax. -
