Indian and Indiana Pictures Are Current Double Feature at Herron

By KATY ATKINS

ODAY, at the Herron Art Museum, a movie will be shown depicting the

dances and customs of the

Pueblo Indians. It ties in with the current exhibit showing the American Indian as a painter. The pictures, both tempera painting and water color, ; the untanned skins adorned with ceremonial designs and other items on display were assembled personally by Wilbur Peat, di- § rector, on a recent Western trip.

ART TRAINING was first introduced on government Indian reservations in 1928. Since then great strides have been made in developing the Indians’ true feeling for celor and design. I never think of the Indians

-of the West without chuckling

over the story told by a local businessman of getting into conversation with a venerable Indian selling souvenirs at the station in Albuquerque. Though the sun was bright, it was cold and so was the old man. He complained bitterly. Our man sent him an electric blanket and the next time he went that way, there was his

Indian friend wrapped in the blanket which was plugged into a convenient outlet. n - . TO GO BACK to the exhibit, I was particularly pleased with the wide pale green mats on which the paintings were mounted. Recent acquisitions of - the museum are two portraits by early Indiana artists. Dr. L. D. Lyons was done by Barton 8. Hays, his daughter, Alice, by Jacob Heger. She is an enchanting little girl about 4 years old, wearing the quaint dress of the middle 1800's. Her shoes and frock are red and lace pantalettes peep coyly from under it. It is very decollete and she wears a gold locket on a chajn around her chubby neck. A rather mongrel-looking dog is at her feet. The paintings came from the collection of Minnie Parker of Attica. They were presented to the museum by Roger Wolcott who, having an interest in early Indiana art along with a discriminating eye, rightly guessed that the museum would cherish them. tJ » »

MRS. "EASLEY BLACKWOOD is giving contract bridge lessons every Thursday evening at the Indianapolis Service Men’s Center. She has quite a following with anywhere from 13 to 35 men and cadettes in her class. Another recent innovation In the building 1s the Cadette Capers, a half hour of amateur

entertainment arranged by enlisted men from Camp Atterbury and Ft. Harrison and girls from the cadette regiments in turn. Jean Flynn, Patty Wheeler and Caloyn Clevenger have been espécially active in this venture. It has been fun but it has developed a pressing need for a public address system on the third floor to give a boost to sweet but soft voices. The “PA" the club has is controlled from the main floor so is no help to the actors. This is not a very subtle suggestion to any group with a little extra in the treasury, - ” - THE YOUNG BILL CONNERS are off on their wedding trip after their marriage Friday night in Broadway Methodist Church. The bride's mother, Mrs. Frank Kercher Sr. wore a pale blue crepe gown sparkling with scattered rhinestones. Bill’s mother, Mrs. Willis B. Conner Jr., was in gray blue chiffon with a lace yoke. Her slippers and purse matched her dress and her small toque was the same shade trimmed with matching lilacs. The reception was at the church where the room as decorated with smilax,. The bridesmaids’ bouquets were placed around the punch-bowl where they struck a bright note. The Conners gave the rehearsal dinner at the Marott Hotel in the Penn Room. A centerpiece of yellow flowers and charming A hand-painted place cards were on the table.

$988. 64 Wil Furnish That New Home

By JEAN SPICKLEMIRE Times Homes Editer

T'S possible to furnish * a house this spring of 1952 for less than $1000. Excluding major appliances, the trick has been turned by Ayres in a model room especially decorated for this story. The room, with the exception of bath and kitchen, would be a complete home for a couple just married. The furnishings were selected by taking into consideration an effective color scheme, good taste, longevity, comfort, charm, mobility, adequate seating space and storage. Payment, for the young Mr. and .Mrs. watching their budget, can be done on =a long-range plan. Individual needs and pocketbooks could either raise or lower the final sum. Miss Dorothy Benson, Ayres’ decorating authority, planned the interior. Mrs. Lester Wright and Ross Williams of the store's furniture department posed especially for the photographs. . w . THREE sandalwood walls and one gold one sets the color scheme. They were painted with Martin - S8enour colors No. 602 sandalwood and 2HB gold. Blond woods were mixed. Dillingham made the dining table and chairs. The latter are upholstered in brown, are so comfortable they're just the ticket for extra seats in a living room. The remainder of the units fn the room were made by Conant Ball. This includes the china top, cupboard, chest and corner table. The color blends beautifully with the Dillingham pieces. The combination plan is the answer when some furniture already belongs to a “designing” couple,
