Out Formally
The approximately 500 guests
who frolicked with the ritzy Al
phas Saturday night are still raw
ing about the gay abandon and
merry-making which rivalled the
good old pre-war days. Every
body one bumped into for
that is just how they were packed

and the women Of the specie were
devastatingly attired they
were magically beautiful and
it was the first time for many
seasons that blonde Lois Lowe has
not been in the adoring spotlight

columnist predicted many months
ago when she decided to exchange
schoolteaching t r homemaking.
I'm so glad for her and Walter.
They deserve that additional hap
piness which little one is bound
to bring. Some of the swelegants
whom | saw were Ted and Bill
Lawson and his chic Okebeana
and top-fiight stylist Marva Louis,
Helen Kerry which reminds
me that Lygoria Maynor was the
answer for that terrific hair style
worn so affluently by Okebeana
and Stormy styled that important
couture that was getting glamorous
Marva extra chances no! it
was not those stunning evening
gowns although they added
to the combination of glamour
and elegance. Demure Harriet
Clay was a part of the threesome
squired by Bill Lawson.

ence who crammed every nook and
Granny of beautiful Parkway Ball
room S un d ay afternoon were
stunned by the oomph and creative
genius of the models and the de-
signs which they SO admirably dis
played. Getting obs and abs from
the crowd was the young box coat
number worn by Edna Wills Of
her own execution. The lounging
suit worn by Maud Craig with a
jacket Of green, black and rose
black stripped MORE and satin
trousers was an ensemble any
smart young matron would enjoy
wearing whether it was going to
be an evening around the freside
or cocktails for two or twenty-five.
Getting high notice also in the
lounge group was petite Mary Co
