The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-06-20

with the fashionable pallor,
heavy lids, and carmined lips.
She looked so attractive that
l thought then there would be
a general overhauling of the
makeup kits and a discarding of
rouge, but not Indianapolis. During
the winter girls came back from
New York, saying they" had been
doing it on the avenue for months.
But not indianapolis Then the
other day at a bridge party at the
Highland Country Club, I saw a
dainty bit of femininity sporting lie
dernier cri in the matter of make
up and was so enthused. Here
we 60, thought I. It's taken us
some SIX months to gather momen-
tun, but in another week we'll all
be looking forlorn but fashionable.
And then my hopes we're all dashed
when 1 discovered the femininity to
be Miss Mary Elisabeth Staples just
this minute home from Paris and
looking it,
Might Adopt Idea
OF course-she would
don't know, though, maybe
Llewellyn Hereth will adopt the
idea. It seems to me the last time
saw her she was showing tenden-
cies. What about Partisan girls,
Ilene? / must know right away.
I'm going to the dauce at the
Country Club Saturday, and if I'm
TO look ashen and scarlet with blue
lids I must know the worst immedi-
ately.
Did you know we'd lost Alex and
Happy Blanton? To say nothing
of Hudson, the dog? Yes, they've
gone East to live; Alex is going to
be with Macmillan's publishing
house, and they're planning to live
this summer in Garrison, N. Y, and,
commute to the city
Elisabeth Sanborn's invitations
are out and she's going to have
garden wedding just the way her
sister, Amelia, did at their home on
Michigan Rd., June 70.
Good Party
The Bare Knees party at the
Woodstock was a good party. AS it
was the last dance, officers for next
year had to be elected and when
George Parry nominated Amelia
Henderson for president the ACCLAIM
alton was unanimous. Kurt Pant
ger is president, and John
Kern was reelected treasurer.
My dear, don't tell this to a soul,
but 1 do think it's funny-not mean
ing to be catty or anything-you
know how those things are! But
I heard that one of the younger
members of the Indianapolis Wom-
ems Club was asked to send in the
subject for her next years paper.
In quandary as to what her next
years enthusiasm would be, she
chose a subject which would cover
a multitude of sins, quotation
from "Alice in Wonderland"
TN tell you everything I know
It will not take me long,"
When her program came some
thoughtful program committee
member had marked in bold, black
ink, Forty minutes! Not know
ing whether she has been mortally
insulted or delicately hattered, the
girls mental condition is simply ap-
palling.
See Bull Fight?
I'm keen to hear all about your
reactions to Spain, Ilene. Did you
see a real bull fight. Ever since 1
read Ernest HeminWay's 1.-THE Sun
Also Rises" I've wondered If
could stand the strain. Probably
not. I don't mind your trotting
around the continent, darling, but
don't stray far from Paris, because
what I'm really interested IN is
what's going on and coming of at
the Dome and the Rotonde.
Elisabeth Haerle had a luncheon
at the Woodstock Tuesday for Helen
Fleischer, who is leaving Sunday
evening for Fairlee, VT. She will be
a counsellor at Aloha Hive, one OF
the Gulick camps. After lunch we
all sat out on the veranda and
watched the eXcavating for the new
swimming pool, and talked about
you, your latest activities, admirers,
and sartorial additions. Don't you
wish you knew what we said:
Lots of love and when are you
coming home, if ever?
