home for the evening and took up a prominent position in the ballroom as Mr. Dinosaur, Mrs. Ralph Coble, president of the guild, wore a lovely ballerina style gown of fuschia tulle over ice blue taffeta. Mrs, Willlam 8S. Ramey was in white brocade. The guild does valuable work at and for the museum so it is good to havea party for such a worthy cause be a success.

Costume Problems’ AN organization with’ no philanthropic purpose, but of great tradition, had its first party of the season last night, too. Many dinners preceded the Dramatic Club performance of “Chicken Every Sunday” at the Civic Theater. Since the action of the play takes place in 1916, the costuming presented quite a problem to the committee headed by Mary Scott and Nelson Johnson. Marcella Parry wore an exquisite gown dug from Mrs Robert B. Failey's trunks. It was of pale blue net with bands of “white English thread lace around the skirt; its bishop sleeves are as fashionable today as they were in ’16. A silver girdle gave a bright touch. Sally Kackley wore a costume suit of the year. The

long green velvet coat was .

lined with taffeta patterned in tiny roses. The jumper dress had a velvet skirt and straps with a lace and chiffon blouse. C. Perry Lesh, after a kid brother role last year, came into his own in the juvenile lead and captured the girl, played by Madeline Sayles.

Supper Dance THE SUPPER dance following’ the performance was fun as the members made the most of the space to dance since the Christmas ball is always a crowded affair. Many people, away for the holiday, were missed at both parties. Marie Wemmer and her youngest daughter, Hildegarde, left for New York Wednesday to join the older girls, Gretchen is at Bryn Mawr and Barbara is at Penn Hall, so the girls met in Philadelphia early in the morning and went over Li New York. Mrs, Frank Binford went to New York last ‘Sunday and spent Thanksgiving with Virginia’ and Harold Tur-

ner and her granddaughter,

Louise. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph J. Daniels, their daughter, Katharine; their son; Michael Fairbanks, and Jo Ellen Holland are spending the weekend in New York, where Bill Hauelsen came down from Colgate to join their party. For sheer excitement this Thanksgiving ‘week-end is the high point for™ teen-agers. Prey have broadened their scope beyond “under the clock” at the Biltmore, but, however sophisticated they seen to be, the thrill is as genuine as it was a generation ago.

Junior Assembly TEEN-AGERS who stayed home and belong to "Margaret Gates’ Junior Assembly had a gala tea dance at the Indianapolis Athletic Club Friday afternoon. Lally Kackley, as modern as her mother was dated in the play the next night, wore a grey bouffant taffeta frock trimmed with gray lace and
