that blue and white cellophane
straws doubled up in to a cluster
wodld look as crisp and fresh as
rain-splashed spring flowers, which
they did.

lets at the neckline of Miss jeanne
Dissette's green taffeta froc,i- re-

White River, North Crows Nest
when we glimpsed Mrs. Erwin Stout
on the dance floor.
The Stouts are enjoying their
first winter in their new home in
North Crows Nest. One can see
their home high above the river as one
drives along Meridian-st, north of
Westf1eld- blvd. The trees screen The
white brick house from view in the
summer. Now stark and bare, their
branches spread out against the
whiteness of the bricks like some
fantastic black network.
Mrs. Frank Hoke's green crepe
gown was as devoid of frills as the

flowing train as she danced.
The burnt orange MORE of Miss
Irving Monkeys frock was twisted
into braids, for the shoulder straps
and edging for the neckline.
Mrs. Kirby Whyte's black gown
glittered like twinkling stars in a
black sky. Rhinestones were scat

casionally clustering close together
to achieve brilliant effect.
