The Season Is Here For One to Be Two

By KATY ATKINS OW comes the season when Symphony subscribers wish they were twins, one to go to the Saturday night concerts and one for the other frequent activities. Last Sunday's afternoon concert drew an unusually large crowd. That evening Mrs. Charles Latham entertained for Dr. and Mrs. Sevitzky at supper. Among the guests was Frederick Piket, composer of the concerto for orchestra that was played. Alan Meissner, the new manager, and Mrs. Méissner were there, too. It is nice to have Mr. Meissner back with the organization after his war service. A bowl of fruit on a dark red cloth, matching the brocade of the dining-room chairs, made a stunning buffet table for Mrs. Latham’s party.

Today, as social chairman for the Women's Committee, she is busy with the annual reception for mem-

bers of the orchestra to be held after the concert at the:

Murat.

Sharing the spotlight will be the guest soloist, Ruggiero Ricci.

MRS. ALBERT BEVERIDGE was in town for the briefest of visits recently, not nearly long enough to see her many friends. She dined one night with Mr. and Mrs. Joseph J. Daniels where candles in the crystal chandelier in the drawing room shed the most flattering light on the guests. 2 Roses and violets in a crystal and silver bowl were in the center of the dining-room table with four silver candle sticks and shell-shaped silver compotes filled with purple and green grapes. A BOUQUET OF YELLOW chrysanthemums caught and held the sunlight that poured in Mrs. Louis Seaverns’ windows Sunday noon when she had a few people in for lunch. A tall arrangement of white fuji chrysanthemums was an effective accent in Evelyn Birge's drawing room Monday afternoon. Evy, {her sister Judith Test and their sister-in-law, Estelle Chambers, had a small tea for Mrs. D. Laurance Chambers on her birthday. Guests were Mrs. Chambers’ very close friends but, the birthday was a surprise to them and they loved the opportunity to wish her happiness and share her pretty birthday cake. The young hostesses looked lovely in dresses, probably by chance, chosen to look well together. Evy wore a bright red knitted suit. Estelle was in gray jersey with fascinating shoes that were half gray lizard and half black leather. Judy's frock was gold velveteen, " 4» Fw WE DINED WITH the Jack Kaglesfields before the Dramatic Club play and party. Sally's beautiful onion pattern Meissen was lovely on the buffet table with its blue-green oloth. ; The centerpiece, matching the candle sticks, was a compote filled with ageratum and tiny yellow chrysanthemums,

She said<they were the last of the garden but they looked like thé first of something very special. The play was very funny and it, was a tribute to the leading lady, Pabby Stephenson, that she looked ravishing in the plaid slacks she wore through most of the show. " However, she blossomed out in an exquisite dress at the dance. It was of black taffeta with the skirt cut away in front to show a red taffeta petticoat veiled in black pointe d'esprit. She wore a pointe d'esprit stole,

* red shoes ond red roses -

FOR MEN ONLY—Mrs. Robert Claycombe and son, Bruce.

Kappa Alpha Theta: Sorority Bazaar

ie

Is Nov. 12 at Butler Chapter House

By AGNES H. OSTROM - HETAS are trading talent for talents. They are turning their own skill in handcraft, art, cooking and sewing into money to benefit youngsters in institutions both here and in Wichita, Kas.

Nov. “12 members of the Indianapolis Alumnae Chapter, Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority, will show their talent for gain at the third annual bazaar and tea at the Butler University Chapter House. It will be a search-ender for the public as well as Butler students for Christmas gift finds. AND THE PROCEEDS WILL be divided evenly between the chapter's local philanthropy, the Marion County Child Guidance Clinic, and Theta's national philanthropy, the Institute of Logopedics in Wichita. This year Mrs. John W, Clark, chapter president, and Mrs. "James S. Gilson conferred early with Dr. Alberta Jones, clinic director, on current needs at the clinic. Theta money is earmarked only for what will do the most good when it is presented. In Wichita, Theta talents are-developing a nonprofit speech-correction school. No one needing help is refused there if they can be accommodated. During the past year more than 360 patients were returned to their homes almost completely rehabilitated.

In five years Thetas have donated more than $53,000 for the building and furnishing of three four-plex residences in a U-shaped court around a central play and lawn area. Each furnished apartment provides a home for three children under housemother care. The three KAT buildings will be called Kappa, Alpha and Theta. o¥ " ” " » ” THE TALENT BAZAAR has proved an overwhelming success in meeting the challenge of the two philanthropic projects. Members with their multitude of interests and hobbies can all participate and they do. More than one member painted, sewed or knitted on bazaar items at the lake or in the yard this summer. Families have cautiously stepped over and around mother’s “bazaar stuff” for many weeks now. And from 1 to 8 p. m. next Monday it will shine mid glittering and sparkling Yule decorations at the Fairview campus chapter house. ” = o ” » » FOR THOSE ARRIVING between 2 and 4 p. m. Mrs. Robert E. Heine, hostess chairman, and her committee will serve tea. Assibting will be Mesdames L. M.
