Society Wedding Is a Highlight Of the Pre-Christmas Season

By KATY ATKINS :

THE WEDDING in St. Paul's Episcopal = Church of Nina and Tom Solley last night was followed by a beautiful reception in the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Lockwood. The guests came up the driveway (lighted by hurricane lanterns withgreen garlands between E them) to leave their coats 4n the garage. This was Aransformed into a garden ‘foom and connects with the house. & Holly trees, “gay with pink striped carnations, “English holly and misletoe, marked the entrance and athe receiving line,” Bouquets fof deep. red roses, white theather (for luck, of seourse), blush pink carna‘tions and English holly were stunning in the hall. A table in a small marquee was done in Silver with a silver cloth, while one in the book-room had a white satin cloth and antique silver wine coolers with carnations and holly in them. The pink dining room was a beautiful setting for the table with the cake on a ‘base of pink carnations, white violets, Finch Poses and heather, Exquisite pink compotes were filled with miniature roses, pink camellias and valley lilies, picking up the flowers in the pink screen painted some time ago by Peggy Lockwood for her mother. 5 = » MRS. LOCKWOOD wore a most becoming gown of dark green net, with gold tracing around the hips, and a corsage of white orchids, This wedding was a family gathering for the bridegroom's mother, Mrs. William Henry Conroy of Rye, N. Y. She is Mrs, Nicholas H. Noyes' sister. It was nice that she was here in time for the parties the last days before the wedding,

especially the beautiful dinner dance given by Mr. and Mrs. Noyes and Clara and Steve Noyes at Woodstock Friday, That night the table for. the wedding party was all white, but pale pink cloths were on the others, An unusual note in decoration was the use of big

pink wedding bells, sliced in half and filled

with pink roses. Mr. and Mrs, Sylvester Johnson entertained for the out-of-town guests yesterday noon and Nina's aunt, Mrs. E. Bishop Mumford, and Dr. Mumford had a luncheon at the Indianapolis Athletic Club Friday. At this party, guests were seated at tables of six which had centerpieces of green or red velvet cornucopias, drimmed with goldgace and spilling over with nuts, kumquats afid variegated English holly That noon Mrs. Mumford wore a garnet silk dress with matching hat. Janet and Fritz Ayres gave a party late Thursday: afternoon which was very festive.

Children Are Guests : N THE GREAT variety of holiday

parties, none gave more pleasure than that for which Mrs. Harold Fahrbach

"and Mrs. Fred Melcher were hostesses. For the

second year they entertained the children that they, as members of the Red Cross. Motor Corps, drive four times a week “rom the Roberts School for Crippled Children to Riley Hospital for treatment. The party at Mrs. Fahrbach’s on Thursday had all the trimmings: A Santa Claus with presents, a magic show by Paul Rupprecht and, of course, refreshments at a gaily decorated table. Before Sonja Henie and her perennially successful show left town, the Harry Reids, both senior and junior, entertained at dinner and went on to a performance. Guests included Margaret Reid, Gilbert Ogle, Mr. and Mrs, H. F. Krimendahl and Mr. and Mrs. Anton Hulman and Mr. and Mrs. William Polje of Terre Haute.

TRADITION ABOUNDS at Butler University, and especially at Christmastime.

Gayest event of the season is the carolling session, sponsored by the school’s Panhellenic association. The sororities will hold the musical trek Weanesday night. Zeta Tau Alpha is to begin the song fest and pick up other sister groups as they make the rounds. Those to be serenaded include Dean L. Gray Burdin, Dr. M. O. Ross and Dean Elizabeth Durflinger, The coeds, holding candles, will end the trek on fraternity row. After singing to each mouse, it's the custom for the men to invite the girls in for hot chocolate. Then the procession breaks up much as it began, with each grbup attending informal parties in its own domain. ] Impromptu frolicking prevails, following a set procedure. Santa Claus always distributes razz gifts; stunts usually follow, Then the house mother receives her gift, and sorority mothers and daughters exchange their presents. Sponsored by the Butler Collegian, campus newspaper, the Cheer Drive is a school ihstitution. Reporters from the journalism classes find underprivileged families; names of others are sent in by mail. Then sororities, fraternities and independent groups open the fiercely competitive coliection drive. Though most of the food, clothing, toys and coal are contributed by the sfudents, “eager beaver” organizations also canvass Indianapolis homes for loot. This year Sigma Chi Fraternity and Delta Delta Delta Sorority won the contest,

Sponsored by Phi Kappa, baby of the social fraternities at Butler, the event was held last Wednesday. “Everybody” . came to see the huge tree between Jordan Hall and the Atherton Center lighted, The all-school Christmas convocation is scheduled for Wednesday. An annual affair, there will be Yule songs, holiday readings and Scriptural selections. President Ross will preside. vi Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Nu, Lambda Chi Alpha and Delta Tau Delta Fraternities once again have invited needy children to their houses for ° Santa treats, dinners and gifts. The Association of Women Students and the Future Teachers of America are among the other campus groups ‘which will party with destitute tots. An innovation this year is the party Kappa ‘Alpha Theta Sorority pledges gave pov--erty-stricken children. -Ordin-.-.-arily sororities restrict their Noel charity projects to the Cheer Drive. But Thursday the coeds “adopted” a .group of local mitess; The fun included square ‘dancing, games and food. : The campus always is decked out for the holidays, too. There are Christmas trees in the cafeteria, Jordan Hall, at the entrance to the Campus Club, "in the recreation room, sorority and fraternity houses and the school offices.
