Engagements and weddings arc
holding the center of attention.
Cnc the prctti2St parties of recent
days being the tea given by Mrs.
Harry w. Horton and her daughter,
MIS-. REGINALD l.. Knox, to announc-
ed the engagement of their daugh-
ter and sister, Barbara Horton, TO
It. James Hanford Nall
Not only was the party attractive
but the young bridetObe was lovely
in her smart blue and brown gown
accented with a corSage of orchids
sent by 1t. Hall. Sharing honors
however was little Mary Marvin
Knox whose bedroom was the focal
point for many visitors who crept
III to view the Reginald KnoXs
baby daughter who good as gold,
slept through the whole affair. Kay
Nuffer looked particularly charm
ing that day in a chartreuse green
taffcta. and Elizabeth Meyer made
an effective contrast in her black
and gold scquin gown. Mrs George
Barclay WillOughby was pretty in
a brown suit. Mrs. V. A. Franclsco'S S
blonde coloring was set off to per-
fection by her all-black ensemble
and Mrs. Sam Foster of CaleXico
was decidedly smart III her tur-
trimmed suit Mrs George A. Wash
burn also wearing a ur-trimm"d
suit. a lovely soft blue with luXur-
ious fox collar.
Speaking of clothes. Mrs. w. J.
Strickland. at the BrailoWSky con-
cert Monday night never looked
more stunning than in her black
evening gown and coat One of the
smartest street outfits worn at the
concerts was that in which Mrs.
Willard Nussbaum of BraWley ap-
peared. an all-blaCk suit with Per-
sian lamb trimming, most effective
with her dark hair and blue eyes.
AS for the concert itself, BrailoW-
SkyS mastery of the piano made
the evening one of undiluted plea
Sure--fOr the audience whose plea
sure was heightened conslderao-
" the excellent piano sent for the
occasion. AS one listener said, who,
like all of US had been enthr2,,- d
watching BrailoWsky'S long, flexible
supple fingers perform with such
deXterity that the notes seemed to
sparkle off the ends OF his fin
gers. Even if you were stone deaf
YOU could still enjoy the concert
lust by watching the fluid motion
of his fingers ana wrists. A bouquet
should be given also to the high
school students who designed the
attractive program covers and to the
print shop students who did the
print job Congratulations are IN
order for those poWers-that-be who
started the concert on time.
We have musicians and we have
artists as those who saw the dis
play in the Diller windows the last
two weeks will agree. In cenebratlon
of national ART week a group OF
valley artists had an exhibit OF their
paintings. some Of those represented
Icing: Edna Nelson of BraWley, Mrs.
John T. Rice. Grace Dixon, Mr..
John F. Waterman, Mrs. w. S.
Kong. Individual style and inter-
cSting composition made the picture
display of considerable interest.
One Of the most attractive OF re-
cent visitors to the valley is Mrs.
Glenn Munkelt Of San Diego, first
vice president OF California P.E.O.
who visited the four valley chapters
this past week a very gracious
and efficient person, and very at
