GIRL ABOUT
TOWN
BY MARILYN

And another thingl Now that
I'm all serene and safely parked
back in Indianapolis after a sum-
mer pitched mainly in high G, I
want everybody else to quiet down
again and stay put while I recu-
perate. Which they aren't doing.
Saw Barbara Foltz on the Circle the
other day, f1anked on either side by
an admiring youth, and she told
me she was returning to Vassar the
next day. This will be Barbara's
junior year. Last year at De PAW
I hear she made Phi Beta grades.
She said she would see Bertha
soon and asked if there was any
messe ge of which I was full, not
having heard from Bertha all sum-
mer, and what with her in Biarritz
and me in Colorado and both of us
being communicative about it
I just can't understand. In fact,
there's practically nothing in life
I can imagine either Berina or
being uncommunicative about unless
it was our age or weight or dispo-
sition or something terribly unim-
portant like that.
There are more going and COM
ings off. I heard Elizabeth Haerie
and her family will leave Germany
about Oct. u. Mrs. Kathleen Casa
way and Mabel have just returned
from Tennessee. With them is Sarah
Elizabeth, or rather Mrs. Yale Rice,
who is staying here few days to
shop before returning to Chicago
Saturday. Every other person met
out west knew the GaSaway girls
and remembered the time Baba
strained her leg falling off a horse
out there. I didn't fall off once. I
was bucked off which is infinitely
more degrading! I just used spurs
on the wrong horse and he told me
about it. After the argument was
practically over-that is, after I had
landed on my head and so WAS
speechless for a little while,
mounted the horse again, but this
time without the spurs. I carefully
showed the horse that had taken
them off and he said, "All right, but
you must never use spurs on me
again." so I said I wouldn't argue
with hin-he played too rough.

Mrs. Charles Cox Jr., had a
luncheon for Amelia Henderson
Thursday at the woodstock. Besides
Amelia and Dorothy, there were
Mrs. Maurice Angel, Mrs. Robert
WinsloW, Marjorie Fisher, and L.
We draped ourselves around the
swimming pool and took a lot of
pictures, and its a wonder some
body didn't land in the pool.
Dorothy Dietz, whose engagement
has just been announced to Rudolph
Stempfel, was out there at lunch
con wearing a stunning outfit in
rich autumn brown and a shoulder
corsage.
While we were sitting out on the
lawn in the sun purring, along
came little Estelle Burpee with a
golf foursome looking too cute in
their miniature sport costumes and
golf accoutrements with their golf
hose rolled sportily around their
brown bare ankles in the latest ap-
proved Southampton manner.

Amelia had to leave a bit early,
having $50 things to do by actual
count in the way of keeping ap-
pointments, having fittings and max

Hoosier Airport and selected nice,

she Willed her wire-haired fox ter

happened to be standing there
watching proceedings. Then she
warned everybody no matter what
happened under no conditions to tell
her mother.
Charlie Cox took us up and he Is

the air as deftly as Hispano-Suiza
could demolish Michigan Hill. Just
before we left the ground, Charlie

one thing we weren't making was
contact. But I thought it was an
awfully good line if he was trying
to be funny, which he wasn't, and
then he called me "Dora!" We
