Woodstock Party Opens Season

By KATY ATKINS HE party at Woodstock last night, sponsored by the Junior Group to the Women's Committee of the Indiana State Symphony Society, was the first of the Saturday night affairs—benefit and otherwise—that will continue until after Christmas.

The Viennese motif was. used again this year for the ball. Its focal point was the Emperor's Guard, done in life-size silhouets fastened to the walls in the ballroom: Gay with red-metallie-trim-on-their coats and gold in their hats they were extremely colorful, making a wonderful background for the many pretty dresses.

Harriet Stout wore a champagne satin gown that had rhinestone trim on the bodice. Her sandals were gold and her jewelry of pearls and rhinestones. Mrs. Kennard King's beige satin slippers matched her faille ballerina frock that had crystal and rhinestones on the shoulder straps. * 4 9

FOR HER marriage to David Harrison of New York City yesterday after- . noon the former Mary Harrell wore a seed pearl brooch with an interesting family history.” Mary's mother, Mary Evans Harrell, wore it for her wedding as did ‘her grandmother, Mrs. Edgar Evans, and Mrs. Evans mother, Mrs. Volney T. Malott. It was given to Mrs. Malott when she was married by her mother, Mrs. David Macy, so Mary Harrison is the fourth generation in the direct line to wear it on her wedding day. Mrs. Evans is “custodian” for the brooch and matching earrings. She tells me that it has been worn by numerous sisters and nieces, so it must be a good luck talisman for happy

marriages.

ISABEL AND SAM BELL left on Monday for their home in Philadelphia after a visit with Arthella and Frank Fishback. So many Indianapolis people had met them in Coconut Grove, Fla., where they are winter neighbors of the Fishbacks, that their coming was the signal for a giddy round of parties. Among those entertaining for them were the Bill Munks, the Lyman Ayres, the Perry.O'Neals and Edward Mayer; : Le THE PREVIOUS Saturday they went with the Fishbacks to Mary and ‘Tony Hulman's wedding anniversary party at the Country Club in Terre Haute. Shiny green leaves, mixed with some tinged with copper, almost covered the walls and formed the background for tall white vases filled with white chrysanthemums, A smaller variety of white chrysanthemums and ivy decoratéd the tables which seated 10. Mary Hulman's sheer black dress was solidly embroidered in green and gold: The Parrish Fullers came all the way from Louisiana for the party and there were many from Evansville and Indianapolis. 4
