Ozan Marsh, New Jordan Piano Professor, Entertains Guests of Mrs. Herbert Woollen

Lambs Club's 'Honey Boy' Minstrels Put on Gay, Gala Show in Columbia Club

By KATY ATKINS HIGH ON THE LIST of recent pleasant events is the afternoon spent at Mrs. Herbert M. Woollen's when she had friends in to hear the talented young pianist, Ozan Marsh, Mr. Marsh, who will have his own concert at the Murat next month, has re-

cently come here to take the chair of the piano department at ~

the Jordan Music College. Mrs. Woollen’s house is a joy to visit, not only because of its beauty but because she is a truly gifted hostess and makesany party she gives a memorable one. Mrs. Herman Wolff and her sister, Mrs, Dan Flickinger, and Mrs. Wayne Ritter were Mrs. Atkins among the especially appreclative guests. Mrs. Noble Dean and Miss Julia Brink - poured tea following the program. Mrs. William Ball of Muncie was wearing a gay red hat with a halo of soft gray and white feathers that pepeated the tone of her checked wool dress with its red belt. It was interesting to ¢hat with Garven Dalglish of Philadelphia. Not only is he a writer of note, but his sister's fascinating books for children have had great success, :

Lambs Club Show

WE HAVE other guests in town this week. Mr. and Mrs. Warden Wilson of Biltmore Farms, N. C,, have been with Warden's aunt, Mrs. Caroline Vajen Collins at the Spink Arms. Mrs. Collins entertained at dinner for them. Billy Luten of Washington, D. C. was with her mother, Mrs,

on # good show as always last night at the Columbia Club.

The “Honey Boys” minstrels, seated in a half circle in their black trousers and white mess jackets, were in violent contrast to the four end-men who wore gaudy vari-colored suits. Hal R. Keeling as “Mr. Interlocutor” was resplendent in red satin. The party was as gay and full of fun as the show, perhaps because it put everyone in a gala mood.

Ann and Frank Alig are off on their trip. Their wedding at home yesterday afternoon was unusually lovely. Ann wore her great grandmother’s dress of wheat color lace. Both the skirt and basque were trimmed with the origing], occasional knots of deep-er-toned grosgrain ribbon.

Out-of-Town Guests

THE BAND of lace on her hair was worn by her mother at her marriage and the tulle veil that fell from it was of the same wheat shade. Nothis prettier than mellowed lace. The flowers and background of the bay window in the drawing-room, where the service was read, shaded from wheat to ecru. As Ann and hep==father, Julian Bobbs, came up the short aisle marked by tall urns and satin

ribbons, the only other spot*

of color was the turquoise blue of the velvet capes and muffs of the three bridesmaids. Their dresses were of

white silk. The junior brides-

maid, Honey Hope, was just as poised as Jane Stokely and Nina Lockwood. Mrs. Bobbs’ gown complemented Ann's beautifully. The skirt was of wheat satin with unpressed pleats from the waist and the bodice was

of lace in a slightly paler tone. A purple velvet belt and simple headdress gave stunning color accents. » They were all happy to have several friends who have summer places at Northport Point here. It is always nice to have out-of-town people find us at our best and that was one of the prettiest and happiest affairs of the season. Last week Liz and Vest Johnson had just got settled in the country. They are in the news again with a brand new son, born last Monday.

In-Gathering Tea.

THE IN-GATHERING tea for the Indianapolis Branch of the Needlework Guild of America was held this year at the Episcopal Church of the Advent on Tuesday. It was. served by Alpha Chapter of the Alpha Omicron Sorority, which incidentally supplied a great number of garments. The sorority’'s national president, Mrs. Russell A. Furr, was among those pouring. ’ The garments, all new of course, were piled so high on the tables that the: auditorjum looked like a department store. On Wednesday they were packed and are now stored for distribution to the receiving agencies who will requisition them as they are needed. Twenty-three differ ent agencies were . supplied almost a thousand garments last year, making contributions to the Needlework Guild ‘one of the most satisfactory of the many everyone makes. I saw Mrs. Richard Kirchhoffer at a gneeting the other day. She and the Bishop are now settled in their beautiful new home at 4164 Wash-

ington Blvd., which Mrs. Al-

bert Beveridge gave to the Episcopal Church for the use of the Bishop of the Diocese.

Imported Christmas Cards Top Colorful Assortment in Local Stores

By LOUISE FLETCHER, Times Woman's Editor MPORTED CHRISTMAS CARDS are lined up with domestio products on local stationery counters this year... and early shoppers are getting the pick of the colorful array, from inex-

pensive to de luxe assortments.

At one store they report that a few cards already have been “pulled” from certain lines because orders have reached the

saturation. point. Of course, cards from extensive assortments, by close-to-home manufacturers, will be available up to the last minute. In some cases, the imprinting of the sender's name can still be done at a late date—but, as usual, it's the early bird who gets a choice meal. Among the imported cards are some from Dundee, Scotland, at Wasson’s. These, the “Cloth of Gold” series, include landscapes (some with Victorian figures), still lifes, animal and wildfowl designs, hunt scenes and religious figures. Prices range from $10 to $35 a hundred, without imprint and from $13 to $38 a hundred ‘with imprint. Prices also are quoted on lots of 25, 50 and 75, with or without imprint.

# ” ” Even the kids get in on the personalized Christmas greetings via some Norcross cards spied at Wasson's. A Christmas. tree folder carries the parents’ names. A tiny version of the tree folder opens to reveal “I say Merry Chliristmas, too” . with the small fry's name Imprinted beneath. The big cards are $28 a hundred; the little ones $6 a hundred. * » ‘ns = To Wasson's from Alice Daly's California studio comes an original collection including another card which

of the family. On the outside of the folder are Mom and Pop ot a snowman family;

¥

the folder's inside can be rigged up with the desired number of figures to represent the kids in the family «+ « even the family Tabby and Purp. The imprint, of course, would list the whole lot by name. $38.50 per 100.

Domestic Makes

HIS COUNTRY is no slouch in turning out distinguished Christmas cards. Outstanding are those by the American Artists Group, shown here by Ayres’ and Block’s. This year the group celebrates its 15th publication of holiday cards by the country’'s famous artists. Originally the group numbered 38; now it includes 506 painters and printmakers representing 36 states, the District of Columbia and Alaska. The list includes such names as Thomas Benton, Adolf Dehn, Lauren Ford, Dale Nichols and Rockwell Kent. A companion series of cards is the Designers and Illustrators’. Prices on both series (both at Block's and Ayres’) range from $13.50 to $28.50 a hundred, including the imprint.

” ” ” = Ayres’ has a very limited, ultra-special line of ards by Jean Watts. who used to do designs for a top-flight scarf manufacturer. These, 50 cents apiece and worth it, are chaste white folders with a tiny engraved greeting on the front cover. Inside, however,

it’s a different story. Whimsical animals (a deer tucked into bed), cherubs and whatnot are given fairytale glamour with ever-so-lightly ap-

plied touches of glitter and ~

infinitesimal sequins. ” . ” Ayres’ boasts several exclusive holiday greeting collections. The Leander line, gay and modern, provides space inside the folder for hand-written notes. The Karl Koehler assortment, with em-

phasis on form and color, features three-dimensional and montage effects. Name imprints for these are designed in casual, random, up-hill-and-down style. The Verlaine line -is the extremely formal engraved type on superior paper stock, accompanied by lined envelopes. The Jan designs are done on rough-textured paper by hand-cut linoleum block with the sender's name also cut into the linoleum in whatever type letfering matches up with the greeting. Another Jan greeting takes the form of an acetate scroll to be sent inside a small cylinder.

® = = Also at Ayres’ is a collection of Hallmark Gallery Artists’ cards ‘especially designed for men, businessmen perhaps, who want to send nonfamily greetings.

More “name” collections at both Ayres’ and Bloek's are those by Tasha Tudor (childe hood subjects in gentle colors) and by Cecelia Staples whose work as a designer of fashion displays is reflected in viva . cious and fanciful yuletide themes.
