The Indianapolis Times Grown-Ups Are

By KATY ATKINS FTER THE CHILDREN'S Halloween celebration is safely out of the way, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Lacy II have a pleasant custom of giving a dress-up party for their own friends. Last year's theme of come-as-your-suppressed-desire seemed to hit. an all-time high but this vear the guests were just as clever in

. representing favorite books or

songs. Mrs, William C. Bobbs captured the prize for the prettiest costume as the “Surrey With the Fringe on Top.” She wore a gown of solid black fringe and a headdress with:-a long, oblong bill, perfectly shaped for a surrey top, and dripping with fringe. That work of art took quite a bit of doing as one can imagine. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hensel came as the “Joy of Cooking” and Pagliacci. Mr. Hensel en- : tered singing and sang when he got his prize naturally for the most authentic costume. Mrs. Hensel's apron was adorned with miniature pots and pans. She concocts such marvelous dishes of

her native land that it was a most suitable choice. Her friends certainly have joy from her cooking. The Jack Hardings came as “Goodnight Irene” Bertita as Irene. Jack as Goodnight. The host and hostess wore Chinese robes. Chinese food was served at dinner so a Chinese-atmosphere prevailed this year.

ECENTLY MRS. FREDERICK APPEL gave a luncheon and kitchen shower for Nina Lockwood who will be married next month. It was a delightful gathering of both the hostess’ and Nina's contemporaries. Peggy Lock-

wood wore a purple wool dress while Nina's was coral with an accordion-pleated skirt. po Nancy Stout, who was there with her. mother, Mrs. Oliver Stout, went off to New York that afternoon. Shower gifts always intrigue the older guests at these parties. We don't seem to be up on the new gadgets. Joan- Elder's package proved to be a magnetic bulletin board for the kitchen. Mrs. Otto Frenzel had pdt numerous individually wrapped utensils in a big can. Opening them was like going to ‘the bottom of Santa Claus’ pack

RS. WARRACK WALLACE has had the pleasure of a visit by a school friend, Mrs. Robert Grove of Pittshuigh. She left Friday after quite a whirl. She went to the meetings of both the Indianapolis Garden and the Progressive Clubs and to several parties. Mrs. Wallace and Mrs: Booth Jameson poured at tea following the meeting of the Progressive Club at Mrs. Paul White's. Miss Thelma Patterson, a member of the staff of the Children’s Museum, presented a program on winter birds=In Indiana, using both slides and re: ords, 2 Mr. and Mrs. Norman Hart of Rve., N. Y. left Monday after a visit with Mrs. Hart's brother Erwin, and Eleanor Stout. “Schatzie,” as she has always been known, was very smart the day I saw her in a brown crepe dress with a red plaid scarf echoed by a touch in her brown hat . Black velvet seemed to be the popular style noté at the tea given by Eleanor and Pat Atkins last Sunday. Mrs. Hamilton Row, Mrs. Bogardus Mitch-

ell, Mrs. Batist Haueisen and Mrs. Norman Metz-

ger were among those who chose it. Mrs. Fisk Landers, just back from a trip east to visit her children at their various schools, wore slate gray taffeta and a black hat with a coarse net crown and velvet edge.

(and “very pretty. The bride, the former Lil-

Only the families and close friends were at the ceremony, but many guests were invited later. Mrs. Fletcher wore a short brown lace dress with an. apricot turban. Mrs. Klein's dress was a gray-blue, attractive with her melon hat. Yellow shoes were a charming accent to Mary Elizabeth Benham's deep red faille dréss. She was her sister's only attendant. Marilyn Hooley, who came home from Chicago for the wedding, wore gray taffeta with a black hat. Mrs. Joseph J. Daniels’ green taffeta suit was worn with a soft feather hat in green and beige. A long table in the drawing room was covered with a gold cloth. Small chrysanthemums in all the deep fall shades were in silver vases on it. The wedding cake in the center was surrounded by the same

‘flowers and had a sugar basket on top.

Among the out-of-town guests was Miss Lillian Fletcher from Peewee Valley. Her large black hat was covered with black dotted veiling with a scalloped edge over the brim. Following the wedding Mr. and Mrs. William R. Higgins entertained Mrs. Fletcher, Miss Fletcher and ‘a few others at dinner. If you are having soldiers from Camp Atterbury for Thanksgiving dinner, the Service Men's Center asks that you come to the desk in the World War Memorial Building to pick them up. In this way those who expect guests will have them. It would be too sad to have dinner and all the trimmings and no one to share it because of a mix-up,

After five weeks in a new Hoosier home the family of Dr. Herman L. Shibler is completely settled. Around the djnner table are (left to right) Michel, Dr. Shibler, Mrs. Shibler and Stephen.

#'AS SOON AS THE BEDS are up and the stove is connected, you're really

moved.” That's what Mrs. Herman 1.. Shibler. wife of the city's new superintendent of public schools, believes. And she certainly proved her deftness to quick adjustment after she moved into the family’s two-story colonial residence in northeast Indianapolis. Dr. Shibler’'s ‘“at home” family his wife and twin 4-year-old sons, Stephen and Michel, arrived Friday, Oct. 1>. The next day, Saturday, the gridiron enthusiasts were in Bloomington for the Indi-ana-Ohio State game. Sunday they spent in Brown County and Monday they had guests. “Really,” smiles the slender, former schoolteacher, “we didn't know for sure whether we were coming or going.”

Jukebox King, 79, Wed

By CHARLES VENTURA, Times Special Writer N= YORK, Nov. 18— High school boys who elope with a big moment after nickel-a-dancing through a large evening via the jukebox machine in the corner soda shoppe have nothing on 79-year-old Justus P. Seeburg, founder of the jukebox dynasty, when it comes to youthful impetuosity. Last July. Mr. Seeburg, who will be 80 in a couple of

weeks, met a beautiful 24-year-old lass named Gurli Mary Carlson Berglund in a small town just outside Paris. The two were married so fast that the bridegroom didn’t get around. to notifying his next of kin until several weeks after the ceremony. The startled Seeburgs are meeting the bride for the first time, as the couple stop off in New York on the first leg of a honeymoon flight that will . take them to the Beverly Hills estate of the bridegroom and then to Palm Beach, be-

fore they return to his Can-

nes cottage in the spring. There is no danger of the impulsive Mr. Seeburg being cut off without a nickel, since he had plenty when he retired as head of the Seeburg jukebox business. Anyhow, his son, Noel Marshall Seeburg, father of two married sons, heartily approves of the match and thinks his 24-year-old -stepmother--is one-of-the-best things that ever happened to pater.
