T'S POSSIBLE to combine a career with a family and get top results in both cases. What's more, it's possible to be the perfect wife to a celebrity, be a mother of two youngsters and still have
time to carry on with your work. At least, Mrs. Durward Kirby has been doing just that and with great success, too. Mrs. Kirby, the former Mary Young, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Young, 1 W. 28th St., and wife of the wellknown TV announcer on the Gary Moore show and others, is visiting her parents and friends. She is staying in the Marott Hotel with her two sons, Durward Randall (Randy), 0 is 9 years old, and Dennis P ton, 3 years old, Her husband will join her here Tuesday. Mrs. Kirby iz a Hoosier by birth. In fact, she spent most of her childhood here, having graduated from Tudor Hall and attended Butler University, Away from the Middle West, she’s just Mrs. Durward Kirby. But Indianapolis and Chicago residents remember her as Mary Paxton, the name she went under when she started her own radio career. - 1At that time, in her teens, she got a job singing on WFBM from the Marott Hotel. She also had a fashion program on the same station. Besides WFBM, she had a song program on WLW. But a song program meant more than singing for the young star. When she worked on WIBC, she recalled she doubled for anything from a receptionist to a performer. And she remembered this with much gratification because it was the experience on the local stations that enabled her to own her own show in Chicago. Even after she was married, she continued emceeing the Chicago radio show, “Wishing Well.” After 10 years of marriage, she decided it would be wiser to sell it. Besides, her husband got a New York offer and one career in the family seemed sufficient then. But you can’t keep an energetic person. down very long. Up to two years ago, Mrs, Kirby was radio director of an advertising agency in New York. From all’ indications, the mother and father in this famfly won't mark the end of the Kirbys’ talents. Randy has been picking up ideas from his father and is quite determined to follow the same footsteps. Strange as it may seem, Mrs. Kirby said that living in New

York was like living in the country. In fact, since they bought their home in Bronxville, she said they've gone completely small-town. Their favorite pastime is driving to New England in search of antiques. “The ones that are comfortable and usable,” was the postscript on her anfique remark. On Tuesday night, Mr. Young will entertain for his daughter and her husband with a small dinner party in Highland Golf and Country Club, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph B. Coble, 6180 N. Meridian St, will be hosts in the Kirbys’ honor Wednesday evening in Woodstock Club. This will be a gettogether of the Kirbys’ local friends. Besides that, time has to be scheduled to visit with Gen. and Mrs. A. G. Paxton, Camp Atterbury, Mrs. Kirby's aunt and uncle. Of course, Mr. Kirby pays daily visits in all his friends’ living rooms (via TV) but this personal appearance stuff comes only once a year when the family makes its annual visit. .

In commemoration of the Seymour Centennial Homecoming day celebration, these grannies will dress and act the role of characters from an oldfashioned album. And before stepping back Into the album, they'll complete the atmosphere by dancing a minuet. : While this group tries to relive the past, another group in Bainbridge will take a gander in the future. The Bainbridge kindergarten and first grade teachers and mothers of pupils will present a Tom Thumb wedding and a Golden Wedding Jubilee at 8 Pp. m. next Friday in the school gym, Participating in the Tom Thumb ceremony will be children aged from 314 to 10. Older girls and boys will enact the Golden Jubilee. All of which goes to show, they're never too old or too young.

BACK HOME AGAIN—Despite the fact she’s been gone from Indianapolis more than 10 years, it's still home for Mrs. Durward Kirby who actually hails from Bronxville, N. Y., now. She and her two sons, Durward Randall (left) and Dennis Paxton, are seeing as many of their Hoosier friends as they can while they await the TV head of the family to arrive here Tuesday.
So Youre Heading for a Wedding—
Short Notice Rite Takes Planning, Too
Last installment of a series.
By JANET HUGHES IN THESE days of uncertainty, the man you're planning to marry may suddenly be called up by
the Armed Forces. Or he may already be in uniform and.you hurriedly set a wedding date when he gets the news he’ll be sent abroad. You may decide you'll go wherever he’s stationed. You may marry him at camp. “Camp weddings are not at all unusual these days but there are a few rules to follow. If your fiance is an officer you may be married at the officers’ club at his camp. The regimental chaplain will officiate if you desire. It is customary to invite the bridegroom's superior officer. It is usual to keep the wedding as simple as possible, but you should have one attendant, may have more if you insist. Should it be necessary for you to go to the camp alone, without either your family or his, you'll find the chaplain more than willing to help you in every detail. If your fiance is not an officer, you may be married either in the chaplain’s office or the enlisted men’s club. Neither officers nor enlisted men need to wear their uniforms while on leave, so if your soldier or sailor can get. leave you may plan any sort of wedding you like without coming to camp or having him in uniform. ! s » . OF COURSE if you are plan ning a bang-up military wedding with an arch of swords and all the trimmings, that's a different matter. In this case not only the groom, but all the ushers must be officers. They wear their dress uniforms and all their c¢ibbons. The arch of swords is formed on the church or chapel steps, never within the church. 4 At a smaller ceremony where 0. D. jackets and pinks are worn, ushers may wear business suits, Some sticklers insist if the groom is in uniform all the ushers must be, too. But modern “traditions in-the-mak-ing” have changed this somewhat. If you are having a formal military wedding, you, too wear the formal traditional gown of satin or lace with a train and wedding veil. But for a simple camp ceremony, wear a simple daytime costume. But if you like, have a small veil in white or pastel shade attached to a tiny flowered hat. » wo ” IF YOU PLAN to live near your husband's camp, as many young couples do these days, plan your trousseau so it is practical. You won't need the

sort of clothes you would if you were going to lead a civilian life. Your clothes shoul be simple and easy to care for. If the camp happens to be in the South the more washable things you have the better. This doesn’t mean you can't have an extravagant negligee in your trousseau. But the chances are you'll keep it in tissue paper until your husband gets out of the service, If you are marrying a regular Army or Navy man you will, of course, be prepared to be on the move for most of your life and will have figured things accordingly. ~ ” - LET ME TELL of two service weddings I know about: The girl married a naval officer stationed in Norfolk. The wedding was held at her home and they took an apartment near the naval base. After six months he was sent
on a three-month cruise and

she returned to her parents home for that period. This bride took practically nothing with her to Norfolk except clothes.
Her wedding presents are packed away waiting the day when her husband is released from duty.
Another case is the daughter of a friend of mine who flew to Japan alone to marry her fiance. She didn’t know how long they would be in Japan. So she took a trousseau that was simple, practical and would stand a lot of traveling. Her major presents are at her parents’ home waiting for her return. In this instance the bridegroom made all the arrangements for the wedding. She was chaperoned by the wife of a fellow officer ‘on her arrival in Tokyo, the colonel of the regiment gave her away. A truly unusual wedding. But symptomatic of the times in which we live.

Native Daughters
.By AGNES E. OSTROM
FASHION news will come » from the East via wire to Indianapolis distaff next week. This week it came from the West via a station
wagon, Clothes arrived stacked high, wide and handsome in the back of The (Wickenburg, Ariz.) Bustle’s new Custom Ford. At
‘the wheel were The Bustle's two - enterprising entrepreneurs,
Helen and Josephine Ready, who a couple of years agp took Horace Greeley’'s advice and followed the setting sun. But with parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Ready, 1414 College Ave. living here, the gals packed. an ample sampling’ of their merchandise and hit the road back East June 2 for an annual visit, ¢
ss =» = ¢ A COUPLE OF stopovers included a buying spree in Sante Fe and Anadarko, Okla. and showings of their lush Indian and Mexican dresses—bags— loves—sweaters—belts (even taffeta-lined suede) carried in their custom shop—in Kansas City and Evansville. Now they're holding open house day and night (by appointment) in the Marott Hotel where their wares are literally being taken off their backs. Small wonder, When we arrived Jo was wearing a dazzling two-piece fiesta dress of patio cloth (refined muslin, we learned) which never sees an iron. The blouse was red, picked up in the full skirt with bands of turquoise, black, chartreuse, purple, earth and navy blue. Decoration was handmade sterling buttons. It's complete with apache pants of black to be worn with a turquoise belt.
” - - THE ARRAY included duck dusters, two-print (not new in the Southwest anyway despite a slick magazine's recent fashfon claim) broadcloth Chero-kee-designed dresses, Western shorts cut like riding breeches, colorful squaw dresses from the Navajos, gaucho blouses, beaded cardigans. They pulled out “our T-shirt terrific.” It was—even in simple cotton. Brand new was a “possible” bag of horsehide with a Hopi Sun God insignia in sterling. Their close friend from Scottsdale, Ariz, Lloyd Kiva, halfCherokee, half-Irishman, is the designer. “Guaranteed to hold 35 pounds of excess,’ they chorused. # =» =» IN ABOUT 10 days the duo will swing around Northern Michigan for showings, perhaps Minneapolis, too, and head for the West again. They'll be busy settling In larger quarters, about a halfmile from their first shop, on the California Highway.
