New York Couple Arrives Here for

Daughter's Wedding =oaiv=

By KATY ATKINS T HAS BEEN NICE having the Thomas Kimberlins back from Rochester, N. Y., this past week. They came for the wedding of their daughter, Marilyn and Tom McKean which was yesterday afternoon. The

reception following the ceremony was in the Delta Gamma Sorority house where white c hr ysanthemums, wheat and ivy made a charming decoration. Mrs. Kimberlin wore a navy silk organza dress with, navy accessories and 8 navy hat. The mother of the bridegroom, Mrs. Gorman McKean chose a mauve silk taffeta with lace insertion, dyed to match, and mauve shoes. Among out-of-town guests were Marilyn's maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Wommer of Mishawaka and Mr. and Mrs. James Curran of Denver, aunt and uncle of the bridegroom, Marilyn stayed in Indianapolis when her parents moved away three years ago, and has been art supervisor of the Franklin Township School. t-4 EJ 8 ENTHUSIASTIC comments are still being made about the recent South Sea luau in the Indianapolis Country Club. Luau means feast, for which the main dish was Rijstafel, curry, lamb and rice with 19 gambals of condiments and gavories. The club was transformed into a South Sea island with huge coco mats covering the walls and palm trees with artificial fiowers “growing” around them. A live banana tree stood in the hall where fish nets and Hawaiian hats gave further atmosphere.

sarong. Mrs. Lowell.Stormont was in a black and white striped organdy dress. Judy Wilson wore a flowered skirt with a brown background and a brown strapless bodice. Judy and Mike arranged for the food and the Stormonts designed the invitations. The latter, some 300 of them, were delivered by hand by GoBoy. He was dressed in a hula skirt and wore a lei. Each invitation had a tiny vanta orchid attached to it. Since Go-Boy was 5-year-old Collier Wilson, Judy had the job of driving him on his rounds. She says it took threa days and added 300 miles on the car but the pleasure it gave to the members was well worth it.

” o ” JUST ABOUT the youngestlooking grandmother we know is Harriet Cain, who dashed home from Northport the first of the week to greet young David Baldwin. He is the son. of Harriet's daughter, Sue, and Munce Baldwin. Munce is on active duty in Korea but we hope he will be home to see David before long. Ann and Walter Milliken and their daughter, Judy, of Houston arrived Thursday for a visit with Walter's mother, Mrs. Post Milliken. Judy is having a wonderful time with her cousins, the two daughters of Mildred and George Kuhn. They got home from a vacation in Charlevoix last Sunday. Mrs. Ralph Lemcke, formerly of Indianapolis, has, returned to her home in Connecticut after a stay in the Columbia Club.

Don't Talk to Wolves On Your Vacation Trip

By CHRISTY CASTANIAS LITTLE RED RIDING HOODS making their first solo flight on vacations need some old-time common sense. There are thousands of women in this country traveling singly today. Their trips may be business ones as

salesgirls, or vacations away

from an office. n » ~

McMAHON,

MISS ALICE 5204 Pleasant Run Pkwy., N. Dr. can speak as an authority on traveling alone. Miss McMahon has toured the whole country. . 8 s HER FIRST BIT of advice to neophyte distaff travelis to plan : hi trip carefully. “It’s prefer able,” according to Miss c Mahon,” to g0 someplace where you'll have friends or contacts But there are those Who don’t have friends everywhere. Should they stay at home’ “No,” is the opinion of Miss McMahon. “If you have a certain place in mind for vacation and don't have any acquaintances there, join a tour, was

her suggestion. ” s

«A BOAT is jdeal for the girl vacationing alone because the passengers get to be like one big family,” she explained. So far, it all sounds Very simple, but a legal stenographer, who recently returned from a glamorous 3-week tour of South America, adds a few

tions to this. ea¥ «you definitely

She states, won't be treated like a lady unless you dress and act like one.”

A HAT DOES she mean? Don’t go overboard with extreme fashions in your wardrobe. Dress simply and congervatively. And if you use flashy makeup, you're only inviting a wolf call. So by now, (you've made up your mind to take a trip alone.) you ‘have your clothes all selected for the vacation and you're determined to be discreet. Are you ready to leave? No, not yet. How about hotel reservations? = o ” ALL THE EXPERTS questioned on this agreed a hotel recommended by a friend or by a travel agency is the safest bet. Then too, there always are well-known _ hotel, chains and Travelers’ Aid Societies. And now comes the big probfem Little Red Riding Hood faced. How can you avoid wolves? It seems strange a woman starts worrying when men stop whistling at her. But when she’s away from home grounds, she

starts worrying when the whistles ‘are heard. Miss McMahon quite pro-

foundly stated, “Men are men whether here or away. If you seek attention, you'll get it. But if it's forced upon you, just rebuff it and act the way you do at home.”

” ” ” AND TO BE doubly certain on this last matter, one secretary added, “Don't let some eager male’ help you with

'your luggage or try to give.you

friendly advice. Spend a few extra dollars on porters and ignore the rest,” A unanimous recommendation was never loiter or look lost. Don’t go into a nightclub alone. You wouldn't if you were home. And when it comes to selecting restaurants, avoid the glittering eating places. Of course, there will undoubtedly be a few of those masculine creatures who insist on getting acquainted. Their approach varies — depending on where you are vacationing. = ” ”

PERHAPS THEIR leading statement will be an innocent one about. the weather. According to Miss McMahon, you can always discourage unwanted talk by carrying a book with you. When you know you've been victimized, simply turn to

Your book and put on - tellectual airs, your

One of our travel advisors repeated an experience she had while on a cruise. It seems a gentleman aboard ship had taken a great fancy and interest in her. So great, in fact that having failed in all his usually successful approaches, he finally asked the captain for assistance. It took two days to persuade this shy maiden she should at least be polite enough to accept an introduction. The final outcome? The two were married a few months later. ” ” ”

BUT THERE'S a moral to this incident. The young lady was smart enough not to accept the stranger's advances. As etiquette’ demanded, she waited for a proper introduction and got top results. All in all, keep one thing in mind. Be your true self under any circumstances and your vacation will be a pleasant one.

~The Woman: Steps Out he For Fun Before Lunch

By BETTY LOCHER “" WOMAN'S place is in the home” just isn’t true any

more of Indianapolis matrons.

Outside activities

claim their attention at least once a week. Fun and fellowship begin in the morning. Household

chores are taken care of early to allow a few hours before lunch for meeting friends, playing a game of golf or tennis or giving service to charity. Tennis foursomes assemble at scheduled hours at least once a week at most local country clubs. Teams are chosen or arranged by the club tennis pro according to the degree of skill of the players. Women golf enthusiasts at Meridian Hills have organized a Nine Hole Golf Club which gathers, rain or shine, every Thursday morning. In case of rain members play cards in the clubhouse. . The club boasts about 60 members, plans spring and fall tournaments and occasionally invites husbands to join in twoball foursomes.

” » ” THE MOST disorganized organization in the city, according to its own members, is the swimming group of the Indianapolis Country Club. This, the young matrons feel, is directly attributable to the fact that small fry are included in the activities. Mumps, measles and sniffies postpone many a meeting, most of which are sched-

uled extemporaneously morning of the week. Activities of the Herb Club are a little more sedate. Members meet the second Friday of the month in their homes to discuss growing and use of herbs. Fach grows different herbs in her own garden. At harvest time members package their herbs for one another. Many women like to devote spare time to service for others. The Methodist Hospital White Cross Guild is just one organization that welcomes such volunteers. There are innumerable jobs to be done and the present enrollment is over 3000. “Pifk Ladies” is one guild activity. Its members perform nurse aide duties. They are identified by attractive pink uniforms and report each morning between 8 and 10 o'clock for assignment to various floors of the hospital. Shifts vary from four to eight hours a day.*

They may act as receptionists, distribute patients’ mail,

any

care for flowers, perform per-

sonal services for patients such as shopping and letter writing and assist in admitting and discharging patients.
