season was the Thanksgiving dance
Friday night at the Woodward Golf
and Country club. The interior of
the club presented a real Thanksgiv-

of plenty" Trailing vines of clematis
and southern smilax were used and
the charming effect heightened by
the soft light from green and yellow
shaded candles. This was one of the
prettiest dances given at the club
and was enjoyed by about rs couples.
The music was a lovely feature fur
nished by an eight-piece orchestra.
