Group of Friends Enjoy Relaxing Hour

By KATY ATKINS OT FOR years have we had such a gay autumn. Twilight last Sunday, between two big parties, brought a delightful, relaxing hour to a small group of friends at Mr. and Mrs. Herman Wolff's. Flo read her recent Woman's Club paper on Edvard Grieg. Her interest in the composer and his music had been rekindled by a visit to Norway, especially to his home “Troldhaugen’ near Bergen. We learned that Grieg and his wife, Nina, were among the few well-known artists performing together, and of Grieg's versatility, since he often appeared in one evenigg as composer, conductor, soloist and accompanist. Flo. stressed the native quality of his music saying that one heard the trolls, the waterfalls, the fjords and the mists of Norway in it. After the reading she illustrated this by playing. She gave us variety, such as a nocturne, a

Katy Atkins lullaby and a peasant march, closed with “Wedding Day

at Troldhaugen.” This was especially interesting to two of the guests, Mr. and Mrs. Anton Vonnegut, because quiet interlude had been played during their wedding ceremony. Mrs. Frederic M. Ayres, with her Norwegian ancestry, was among the most appreciative of the small audience. Mrs. Earl Barnes was there in a lovely taupe velvet dress that had jutting folds just below her shoulders in front. She wore heavy gold and pearl

_ Jewelry for accent. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Zoller and Julia-

Brink were among the guests. Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Smith entertained the Traders Point Hunt after the run on Sunday. The field of about twenty-five all turned up, adang a decorative note in formal hunt clothes,

colored draperies. Pink and red roses in an English rolltop breakfast dish were on the tables in the dining room while the buffet was decorated with foliage and silversprayed grapes. Mrs. Smith wore an afternoon frock of blue green satin. Among the non-riding guests were Barbara and Wythe Walker of Little Rock who, with their small daughter, were visiting Barbara's parents, the Harvey Bradleys.

“Elizabeth, the Queen” which closed its run at the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre last night, was glad she learned her lines a year ago when plans for staging the play were made. With rehearsing with Charles Dosch in the daytime and the rest of the cast at night, keeping up normal household activities and enjoying a flying visit from her son, Fritz, who with his recent bride is living near-Ft. Benning where he is stationed, she would have been very short on time to study. Incidentally having spoken of the Griegs as a husband and wife artist team, there are two of them in “Elizabeth.” While not internationally famous, at least not yet, they contribute much to the play. They are Frances and Joseph Drury and Joanne and William Bender, It is always less complicated when an interest as absorbing as the amateur theater is shared by members of a family. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph J. Daniels gave many friends a wonderful evening with a dinner dance at the Meridian Hills Club recently. They even thoughtfully provided card games for the non-dancers though the music was so gay more people danced more enthusiastically than usual,

pink from the white centerpiece to the edge. In the center of the dining room was a tall two-tiered iron plant stand to which Robertine’'s own lead garden figures of little boys gave a charming touch. The top tier was filled with red and pink roses, the bottom one with pink to red carnations. The hostess’ full-skirted gown of pink net embroidered with shocking pink sequins was lovely with the decor. Jane Mahaffey was very smart in a slim, straight black dress with a lace top and narrow straps. Mrs. Nicholas Noyes wore white satin brocade. Cecelia Alig was in a short dress of silver brocade with big sleeves and shiny buttons down the back. Mary Beth Krimendahl chose pale blue taffeta with long sleeves and a high net yoke embroidered in a leaf motif. It was a beautiful party and great fun. Everyone enjoyed singing old songs during dinner. For those who had forgotten the words help was to be found in the

Holiday Spirit Shows in Good Deeds

By JOAN SCHOEMAKER JNPIANAPOLIS teenagers have taken the golden rule to heart and they're doing something about it. Each holiday season many subdebs and squires do philanthropic work. True to form, Euvola, Ahoy, KiETs and Beta Beta Sigma club members are filling food baskets for needy families. -Other clubs are doing other jobs. The Deb-Ettes are making Thanksgiving tray favors for the children at Riley Hospital. The proceeds of their Halloween party went for a CARE package to Israel, .and last month they filled two Goodwill bags for the Goodwill Industries.

” » » . - » AT CHRISTMAS they plan to Clothe a Child through The Times and at the moment they are using old Christmas cards to make picture books for the children at Riley Hospital. Each month two members go to Billings Hospital with 2 member of the National Council of Jewish Women to play cards with the patients. Since the mother of a member died of a heart disease last February, the Deb-Ettes donate to the heart fund on the anniversary. These activities carry out one part of the three-fold purpose of the organization—social, philanthropic and intellectual understanding. Each Thanksgiving the OBN subdeb club sponsors a semi-formal dance. The ‘proceeds go to clothe as many people as possible at Christmas time. Last year a widow and her seven childsen were dressed. Buddy Webber's orchestra will play from 8 to 11 p. m. Thursday in the Egyptian Room of the Murat Temple.

Typical of the many activities sponsored by both subdeb and squire clubs is the work to be sponsored by the Flickers Club. They plan to fill two boxes for two former classmates now serving in Korea.

from 10 p. m. to 1 a. m. in the Riviera Club. Each guest's feet will be measured and one cent per inch charged. This money will provide shoes for needy children at Christmas.
