Hunt Grounds Scene

Ot Farmers Party

By KATY ATKINS HE Traders Point Hunt grounds became a ranch for

the day of the Farmers Party, complete with a corral for the ponies the children rode during the afternoon’s

entertainment, Straw-stuffed cowboys and cowgirls, whose outfits were oorrect to the last detail of es, fancy shirts, boots and lue jeans, perched in couples at spaced intervals on the fence. One pair was in the open door of the barn loft where a sign identified the T Bar T Ranch, The hill billy entertainers got a big hand as

they performed on everything from a wash-board to a musieal saw. It was an amusing change from the traditional corn stalks that have always set the Indiana farm theme in decoration.

» . . MISSING, TOO, were the familiar fringed suede jackets usually woFii* by Cecelia Alig and Marie Wemmaer, Most of the women wore suits, perhaps because it was coool and a bit blowy, just the sort of day for fall clothes. » ” » IPPA TEST'S parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry

left Tuesday after a visit with her and Don. They went to the game in Lafayette the ing Saturday with Don’s mother and father and the Ralph Boozers, On Bunday afternoon Mr. and Mrs, Test Sr, entertained for them in their lovely house. Brendonwood is such a labyrinth that the guests appreciated the signs pointing the

way through the winding roads. Mrs. Test wore a grey

blue dress embroidered with beading and a spray of exquisite white orchids faint-

tall frock and Mrs. Bryant wore black. A glint of gold and green, wheat, iridescent chrysanthemums and leaves, in a long narrow leafy container made a stunning centerpiece on the dining room table.

husband, Bob Vallaincourt of Pasadena were here on Monday and had a visit with some of their old friends at dinner at the University Club.

' modeled theater, and people

in their best bibs and tuckers, The central figure of course was Mrs. Tarkington who cams home early from Kennebunkport for the reception in her honor which followed the play.
