ES JIELY

June Bride Takes Stock; She's Happy

By AGNES H. OSTROM

Times Woman's Editor THIS 1s the year the gals

may grab the eligible bachelors without batting an eye. And Valentine season lends | itself perfectly to the love atmosphere, But what about matrimony? Does it work especially in these days when a larger number of women combine marriage with a business career after the ceremony? Who better to ask than a June bride?

on ” ” JUNE 28, 1951, lovely young Mary Ann Porteous, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John L, Porteous, 5019 Park Ave. floated down the candlelighted flowerdecked aisle of the Second

a June bride, lace and radiant

She was gowned in

Her bridegroom was lighthaired Charles R. Davis, son of Mrs. Guy Hancock, Plainfield, and Claude D. Davis,

The couple had dated on and off during their college days on Butler University's Fairview Campus where Mary Ann was a Kappa Alpha Tetha Sorority member and Charles belonged to Sigma Chi Fraternity.

2 9 n IN SEVEN and one-half months of marriage Mary Ann has found a 24-hour day short for all the cleaning, cooking, washing and ironing awaiting her each day in the apartment at 3601 N. Meridian St., after a full working day as a teacher of some 70 kindergarten youngsters in School 72, clear across town. And she’s already moved

once from a double near But- 2

ler. But she thinks a housewife« career works out very well, # She’s happier than ever before— and looks it. And her husband : ule even helping with the harder work and the dishes.

= ” n TRUE, AS SHE pauses to J dream of her wedding day while ehe’s cleaning she realizes marriage is more of a job than she'd expected. But, it certainly °

is worth it. She and Charles follow. a work schedule — laundry on

Tuesday nights for instance. And usually she arrives home first from work, unless of course there’s an especially long after-school meeting. This way she can have dinner started and greet her husband in a wifely fashion when he comes from his job with RCA's purchasing department. He can catch up on current events leisurely or tinker with their television set—a popular

ishing touches on the evening meal. —_— .

» s ” NATURALLY, THERE are. times—when the dishes, pots arid pans are stacked high— she's not too certain everything works out for June brides. But with a helping hand from her mate the chores do get done and the popular couple are free for the evening at home, entertaining or going out. She loves her husband, her home and her job so her advice ta the gals looking around for a husband this Leap Year would be to work at it, “There's no better life than a marriage partnership,”

Visitors Reminisce

With- Old During

Friends =

Their Stay

By KATY ATKINS

HE FUN of reminiscence was shared by Lois and Charlie DuPuy's old friends when they were here last week for a short stay at the Marott Hotel,

They left on Thursday for Tucson, They dined at the University Club with Burford Danner one night, spent another evening at the John Watsons’ and after a continuous but informal whirl around the town, got pretty well caught up on f things. Charles and Katy Atkins Lols are living in Ligonier, Pa. Three of the children are still at home but Aimee is off a boarding school. : ” »~ » ’ THE DAY they left another former Hoosier, Dorothy Bennet Stein, arrived. She is staying with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schaf. Mr. and Mrs, William R. Higgins entertained informally recently for Bill Higgins and his bride, the forther Mary Carmichael of Montreal, Mary wore a most becoming black velvet dress that day. Among the young people at the party were Mr. and Mrs. Jack Baker, Mr. and Mrs, Gene L. 8chwilck, Mary and Evans Harrell, Sally and John Gould and Flo and Tom Binford.

I saw the Binfords and the.

Goulds later at a small gathering at Phyllis and John Holliday's, A Sally was wearing 4 most intriguing full taffeta skirt of wide stripes in many colors, red, yellow, blue and gray, with a black velvet blouse, cn n ~ PHYLLIS' FROCK was dark green taffeta with a glimpse of black lace. Gingy Funk's black taffeta dress had a deep flounce of cream taffeta under black lace with a similar band outlining the V-neck, while June Ford wore a changeable green-blue taffeta suit. Not many young people wore hats but Mrs. Michael Duffecy had on a very smart black cartwheel trimmed with black feathers. Workers at the Symphony Maintenance Fund luncheon on Monday were most interested in a story told by Col. Arthur Herrington who came home from Florida for the meeting.

- » » WHEN HE was last in Brussels and acquaintances learned that he came from Indianapolis, they insisted on taking him to the broadcasting studio from which recordings by our orchestra had been. played, because they wanted to show him the vast amount of fan mail received about them, °° It is gratifying to have teams of men working especially on the solicitation of business firms because they believe that the orchestra is a commercial, as ‘well as a cultural, asset to the city. Josephine Madden, chairman of the Women’s Committee, struck a spring note at the luncheon in her beige straw hat with brown velvet facing. 8s ; ANOTHER SURE sign of spring is the number of annual meetings being held. ‘ Mrs. J. Landon Davis is the new president of the Maternal Health League, having been

elected at the meeting Monday

night at which William Vogt was the main speaker. The first second generation member was elected to the board with Wesley Dunn taking the place of his father who has been a loyal member for some years. \ They are Mrs. George Hamilton, who with her husband has been recently returned to Indianapolis from St. Louis, and Mrs. Tom Elrod. - ] N_# 8 NORWAYS FOUNDATION GUILD held its first annual meeting last week, too. Mrs. Walter Pritchard, chairman of volunteers, reported the staggering total of 1314, volunteer hours in less than a year. All officers were re-elected

and there was a good turnout in x

spite of pouring rain. Mrs. Charles Trees, in 4 dark gray skirt and light gray sweater worn over a. green blouse, gave a joint resume of the sewing and redecorating done for the hospital. ' The former ranging from curtains and slipcovers to aprons and bureau scarves had much to do with the success of the latter,
