Carnegie Style Show: Draws Local Society Dressed in Its Best
Sports Look Prevails at League Meeting: Current College Activities Highlight Tea
By KATY ATKINS The fall season got off to a flying start with the Ayres’ showing of Hattie Carnegie Originals last Tuesday in the ballroom of the Indianapolis Athletic Club.
It was a muggy day so the women who struggled with furs were none too comfortable. In fact, the smartest looking person I saw in the audience was Lucille Martindale. She wore a beige cotton coat with lining, lapels’ and cuffs in the dark
red plaid of the dress under it.
Her hat matched the coat and had a twisted band of plaid
around the crown.

daughters,
Her shoes were dark red leather, finishing a costume that was right to the last detail.
Lucille was with
Barbara Gamble and
Marjorie, were with her, another of several groups of mothers
and daughters. Paula Riker, Ayres’ “New Yorker,” was here for the show. She wore a black velvet suit trimmed with black braid and the currently popular black velvet beret, firmly draped and stitched so that it is a real hat. Mrs. Gayle Wolfe's tomato color wool suit was worn with a beige hat turned up in front and faced to match the suit. Others in the audiencewere Mrs. Anton Vonnegut and Mrs, William J. Young; Mrs. Dudley Sutphin and Mrs. Conrad Ruckelshaus; Mrs. Francis Dunn and Mrs. Harvey Bradley; Mrs. Jack Goodman, and Betsy Hall. Isabel Ayres, having flown home with her brother for the week-end, got back just in time for the showing. Runways led to and around a charming summer-house, reminiscent of a Greek temple, in the middle of the room. Beautiful ivy banked the base, filled a big urn and hung in garlands from the top of the structure, The clothes modeled were a delight, all so restrained and yet so distinctive.. One felt:

with any, or better yet, all of them. Particularly effective was the "undertone of color in many of the gloves worn with - suits and the shiny look of late day hats, most of which were head hugging. Unexpected touches of color, such as the spice berry blouse worn with a brown suit, brought delighted applause. The following day at the Junior League meeting at Woodstock the fashion note was quite different. the popular hat was a velvet jockey cap. It was worn in turquoise by Marnie Von Sprecklesen, in lime green by - Jane Brant and in navy.by Deedie Nie and Peg Moores.,

the meeting which was fol- -
lowed by luncheon, golf and canasta. The Indiana Vassar Ciub gave a tea Wednesday at Mrs. Sigmund Robinson’s. It was for prospective and present students. The latter spoke of current college activities, Natalie Stepanovich of East Chicago is president of the sophomore class and Ginger Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. South Bend, is chairman of the co-operative system. As usual, Indiana has walked off with its full share of honors.
= un 2 THE CO-OPERATIVE system, under which the students serve in the dining rooms and do much of the cleaning in the living quarters, was started during the war and has been continued and - very completely developed at Vassar, Ginger was interesting in telling about it and looked very well in a grayish brown suit with matching hat, under which one got a glimpse of her red-gold hair. Other students at the tea were Connie Cadick, Kitzi Pantzer, Anne Malone and Joanne Spitznagel. Special guests were Mrs. Lester Green and her daughter, Sally, who holds the 1950 Indiana Vassar Club scholarship.
Colors ROBINSON used the college colors of rose and gray In the tea appointments. Mrs. Maurice Angell and Miss Margaret Pierson poured. Mrs. Wendell Taylor, president, wore a smart brown velours hat with a glint of rhinestones and a brown silk dress. Friends of Mrs. Ruth Murphy are delighted to have her back to live after a year’s absence on the West Coast. She is staying with Mrs. Joseph J. Daniels until she gets settled. Mrs. Ralph Lemcke has been the guest of Mrs. Garvin Brown while she packs her possessions preparatory. to going east permanently with her daughter, Ceci Grassi, and her family.

~ Miss Ada Youmans . . . "Dawn always follows the night."
_ By OPAL CROCKETT Only her dark glasses betrayed her affliction. She expressed greater zest for ? Bing, she laughed
more than most of us.
Self-pity she scorned. Boredom she wouldn't abderstani, Miss Ada Youmans, blind since childhood and deaf and afflicted in speech for years, lives in Galveston with Mr, and Mrs.
Mrs. Roy Moore. She was raising her glass of orange juice in a toast to friends celebrating birthdays that day I visited her. It's a ritual she performs daily, remembering 500 persons. I talked to her by pecking out words from the letters of the alphabet which were printed on a fabric glove which she wore. Each part of her hand signified. a letter
to her.
No day is long enough, she explained. She showed me the 30 Braille magazines she takes, the stories, poetry, joke books and recipes she's published, and the quilts she’s made from blocks sent from all parts of the world. She showed the mats she weaves and her collections of coins, buttonhooks, napkin rings, pins and handkerchiefs.
Foremost Among Blind MISS ADA began her busy life while attendihg the Minnesota School for the Blind in Minneapolis, There she completed 14 years’ work in seven years, and began writing in magazines for the blind. It was then she was acclaimed third foremost blind and deaf woman in the U. 8. Miss Helen Keller, just back from Europe, tops the list. Helping the handicapped is her biggest achievement, she said. She addressed a group

years ago Mr.
Indiana, a place where they may come and go as they like, a place where they may have their own door key,” she said.
Days Are Full
MISS ADA takes part in Galveston Baptist Church activities, helps Mrs. Moore around the house, and keeps informed on all religious and political parties. She corresponds with more than 40 people in foreign countries and. takes pride in her appearance, visiting a beauty shop regularly. “She’s always cheerful, even on Sunday when she misses receiving mail,” Mrs. Moore said. Miss Ada was born in London, England. She went to Chicago as a child and later to Harvey, Ill, where lived her friends, the Moores. Five and Mrs; Moore ' moved to Galveston and’ she came to live with them.
Friends Pause to Talk
MR. AND MRS. MOORE are the parents of Mrs. Harold Thompson, 261 Richland 8t., Indianapolis, I wanted to describe to Miss Ada that autumn day. Outside the kitchen window snowy sheets flapped on the clothesline in the morning sun. A feather bed lay airing under the big maple tree. A square away people took time for each other, chatting in front of the general store and the furniture store-fu-

Austrian Artist Works Hard to Make a Comeback
Combines Display With Fine Art
By MARJORIE TURK Want to step. into the world of Marie Antoinette? Miss Clara Epstein can create it. Or, if you want to trip to "the North Pole, Miss Epstein ean arrange that, too. “Eppy,” as the employees in Ayres’ display department call her, specializes in big backdrops — atmospheric murals for the store’s seasonal promotions and special rooms. The artist brings back the romance of 18th Century France in her designs for the Beauty Salon. The murals reflect the era when royalty went rural, the Queen was a shepherdess and the curves of the ancient Corinthian capital were repeated everywhere.

Amazing
- Oswald Jacoby is a tremendous man with a shock of graying hair, a pair of twinkling blue eyes and three characteristics make him probably the world’s outstanding card player and teacher, He is an expert mathematician and can do complicated problems in his head. He has
a terrific memory. And he
can concentrate steadily for hours. : Combined, these features make Mr. Jacoby the fastest bridge player in the country and one of the most feared competitors in tournaments. He is equally well known as a writer on card playing, and has succeeded - the late William E. McKenney as bridgs. canasta and cards columnist for NEA Service and The Indianapolis Times,

By EDYTH THORNTON McLEOD The mature woman has the right to life, Jove-and happi-
ness,
She should pursue that right without loss of dignity!
The average American woman in the group which is brutally termed “middle-age” is often a frozen asset when it comes to
the question of sex.
There are; of course, the sophistic ates of 40-plus, who make
-~ the headlines and who are,
more often than not, “in residence” at Reno. These are
the women who ride the mad
merry-go-round and, to stimulate their appetites for life change husbands and collect alimony. They are generally 40-plus-plus; and they know _their way. around. This is not written for them, It is for the vast number of mature women whe. stand not on the
brink of a “new life” but are -
teetering on the edge of an everyday, somewhat wornout life. . Sex isn't the whole question of a maturing woman's serenity and growing older gracefully, but sex does play a tremendous part, though few mature women will admit it,

You may let this new maturity panic you, unless you can approach this new phase of your life with calmness and penetrating insight. If you are widowed as you approach your mature life, you know what a partner has meant to you. You should consider carefully the possibilities of another marriage, but not with a man who is younger than you are.
