Junior League Marks 30th Birthday With New Flyer
By AGNES H. OSTROM
Times Woman's Editor
“Four HUNDRED Women We'd Like fo Know.” They can’t all be introduced individually here. But they are as an outstanding group of community-wise, civieminded women ina just-off-the-press flyer with that title.
You'd recognize them quickly identified as the Junior League of Indianapolis. And you'd recognize them just as easily as your feminine neighbors who - know “what's cookin’ ” around town. For 30 years Junior Leaguers have put their shoulders to the hub of a growing city. A city that’s needed volunteer help here and there. A town that's needed financial aid there and here.
” ” » SO YOU WILL know something about the three decades of achievement of this distaff group it's planned an anniversary gift. Into the mail yesterday addressed to a cross-section of the city went the attractive, streamlined pamphlet. Mrs. Robert M. Smith has been editor. On its pages is printed the league standing locally — big league stuff, too. It asks. your time to read the facts on the league's service record. td » 5 THIS RECORD has played Many variations. Provisional training and active membership participation, both stimulating directors, have put the allegro of both volunteer @nd. professional Work into the lives of many of jts .own members. They've been tuned to new. in-
terests, further education, even paid positions. ‘ Here are a few.
» ” » SINCE Mrs. George Fotheringham joined the league after graduation from Radcliffe College, she has been active chiefly in the cultural field. She's spend hours <n the league's Riley Hospital Occupational Theraphy Clinic, the Indianapolis' Day Care Center and the Community Puppet Theater and Workshop were she's written plays for puppeteers. Booth Tarkington Junior Civic Theater has claimed her time and talents. In addition to -directing, last year she wrote a three-act play based on “Heidi.” When she and her husband found time to study piano, it was the key to her joining the Women’s Committee of the Indiana State Symphony Society. She helped organize the Children’s Symphony Concerts, was chairman three years. Now Mrs. Fotheringham is Women’s Committee vice president and state chairman. The group composed of 12 units located in cities throughout the state is the largest women’s committee supporting a symphony in the world. Her job is directing and coordinating work of all the
Whirl of May Parties Precedes June Weddings
By KATY ATKINS QUR MERRY month of May is gayer than usual this year because of the many parties being given for Ceci Crom and Bill Griffith and Anne Kennedy and Otis Hubbard whose weddings will be June 7.
Neely Alig entertained for them at Huntsend on a beautiful evening, warm enough for supper on the terrace where the tables § were lit by g hurricane lamps. Bouquets of pastel flowers and candelabra trimmed with tiny wed- ° ding bells add- ; ed pretty touches. Sugar and Paul Burton were on hand with their accordions which led to dancing.

» » ” ANOTHER evening Liz and Vest Johnson had a supper and bar shower at Wild Air. The buffet table was by a window and had a cupid hanging over it. Flowers and bride and groom figures formed the centerpiece. The gifts were on the table tennis table in the game room. The table was divided in the center, each end marked with placards decorated with hearts and flowers and the names of each couple. Anne wore an aqua tissue taffeta print that night, while Ceci chose a “sailor suit” frock. The skirt was red and white striped shantung, the blouse of navy with a square sailor collar bordered with the same
material of the skirt and trimmed with three red stars. ” . ”
GUESTS enjoyed bridge fol. lowing a luncheon in the Propylaeum given by Mrs. Ernest Edwards and Mrs. Richard lings for Ceci. Hollings Elder and Natalie Moore had a kitchen shower for her. The gifts were in a bushel basket lined with blue tissue paper and covered with blue plastic. A clothes pin bag was tied on one handle with a sort of bouquet of measuring spoons on the other. Phe tea cakes were iced with the wedding date.
o ” ” oo LAST SUNDAY Mrs. R. W. Splegel- and her daughter and son-in-law, Jinnie and Chuck Harrison, had a party for Ceci
and Bill ; It was at the Harrisons’ new
house which the guests par-
ticularly enjoyed seeing. Dickie Bookwalter brought her youngest daughter, Ellie, who, according to all reports, really stole the show.
!
THE VERY YOUNG, as well as their parents, had a big time yesterday at the Orchard School fair which did much to augment the scholarship fund and buy needed equipment. A group of fathers wearing remarkable hats turned barkers for the day, promoting such attractions as Sandy MecNally's magic and the cakewalk: concession run by eighth graders Dickie Brooks and Colin Michael. LS yy 8 =u > RETURNING TRAVELERS include the George Kuhns and Herman Wolffs, back from Europe where. most of their touring was done by air. Along the way they met the Walter Kuhns
and Albert Zollers as well as °
the Frank Springers though Irving and Frank got home before they did. Mrs, Jesse Fletcher, Mrs. Anna Marie Sayles and Mrs. Mitchell Crist are back from Corning, N. Y. where they visited Mrs. Crist's sister, Elizabeth LaFollette. : s 8 = THE RECENT Dramatic Club annual meeting brought out many lovely gowns such as the slate gray one worn by Evy Birge, wife of the new president Julius Birge, and Carol Holliday's white and pale blue. But for a véfreshing fashion note I take Yvonne Leslie's “The Hat.” A little turned-up-brim straw number, it was brought to her from Jamaica three years ago when it was trimmed with a brazil nut and feathers... One day she picked up a feather on the golf course and added it; since then bobbers and flies have found a place on it, Yvonne is chairman of the women’s golf committee at Woodstock. » ” ~ AT THE FIRST meeting this season she was showered with many additions for the hat, such as a miniature white cane presented by Harriet Cain, an illuminated bug and a plastic change container. The crowning gift was a very dead fish on a hook, bedecked with a green ribbon. Everything but the. fish is on the hat, Estelle Chambers has a less unwieldy fish on ‘her canvas hat which also sports a little dog carrying a fishing basket in his mouth. A tiny man holds the pole and the fish dangles from a line, It is about an inch long
_ and never swam in any waters.
