Cosmopolitan Club
EntertainS

Away, away out at 11733 N.
Sandy is the Inverness Country
Club and Dance Pavilion. This
popular club has been the setting
for many delightful social gather
ings already this season. But Fri
day night was one of those unus-
ual occasions; it was the popular
Cosmopolitan Clubs third annual
dance at this beautiful rendezvous.
The night, as you will remember,
was one of the few perfect moon
lit summer nights we've had this
season. The man in the moon
seemed to wink as the gay throng
milled their way on the spacious
floor, greeted by the genial Co.'S
mos. They made their hundreds
of guests pleased with plenty of
table space (far more reserva-
tons than expected), whether ear
ly or late guests. Creon Thomas
and his all-star swing set, the best
aggregation on the Pacific Coast,
captivated the guests with their
specialties, "Old Man Nose" and
MY Blue Heaven AS the echo
of the deafening applause for these
numbers died away, we were able
to get glimpse of this and that
one. From the press table with its
centerpiece of pink snapdragons,
we had a good view of one of the
largest parties whose floral decked
table had everything to make a
gay setting.
Guests included Mr.. and Mrs.
Eugene Garden, both wearing
white suits, she with burgundy ac-
cessories; Mr.. and Mrs. Duke
Jackson, the Mrs. in white broad
cloth sport suit; Mr.. and Mrs. Ver-
non Gaskin, she wearing her sweep
stakes winner, a gray knit 2-piece
suit; Mrs. Harry Hardy, blue tail
ored crepe; Misses Kate Franklin,
Sarai Greene and Lena Newly of
Seattle and Montgomery, Ala. res
pectively, chose sports attire; Mr.
and Mrs. Steven Wright, he in a
white suit, and Mrs. Wright and
Mrs. Earl Winslow in tailored light
crepe; Mrs. G. R. Harvey, Seattle,
figured follard; Mrs. Ruby Har-
din, black taffeta and net; and
Mrs. Mable Byrd Curtis, Washing
ton, D. c., black and white ensem-
| BILE. Joining this party were Miss
Ruby Irene Kirk in tailored blue
crepe, wide brim hat, and her mo-
Their, Mrs. Russie Mae Lewis wear
ing all-popular dotted crepe with
white accessories.
We noticed many of the younger

Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman Pickett,
Mrs. Pearl Daniels, New Mexico,
mother of Mrs. Pickett, Mr.. and
Mrs. Nick Banks, Mr.. and Mrs.
Leonard Cross White, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Allen. Near the press table
we had a closeup of Mr.. and Mrs.
lisa Brock, Miss Barbara Hubbard,
Mr.. Jimmie Sullivan, Mr.. and Mrs.
| Jim Williams. AS there were few
intermissions, the guests were
dancing almost continuously dur
ing the evening, therefore we fail
ed to check some of the parties.
Chatter and clatter ceased as
Miss Ruby Cogwell of Seattle sang
"You Can Depend on Me-" Under
the soft light we glimped Mr.. Sam
my Blanchard, Miss Helen Elder in
rust linen suit, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
! Morgan, she in black crepe bolero
with white satin blouse. Then to
be sure, there was Prof. and Mrs.
c. ]. ay, teachers of Paris, Texas,
and Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Jones Jr.,
and were they having a gay four
some. Near this party were Mr..
and Mrs. Otto Rutherford and Mrs.
Christine Elkins. Miss Vera Ma
RE Keys delighted all as she sang
Don't Worry About Me-" I'm My
Solitude" and she did a duet with
Mr.. Earl Elkins, Deep Purple"
