Holiday Parties
|OfS Service Set
By Betty Miliken

If you happened to be one Of the
200 guests at the party Capt. and
Mrs. Allen Ingram Price gave yes
terday, then you've been to at least
one honest-to-goodness Christmas
party. There was everything fes-
tive about this annual affair given
by the naval officer, his wife and
postdeb daughter, Mary-Stuart. As
you approached their attractive
white brick house in Rollingwood,
a gay decoration of pine branches
and bells fastened with red rib
bon bow greeted you on the front
door. In lieu of the doorben, YOU
jingled the antique brass bells sus-
pended at one side. Many voices
reached your ears, too; voices raised
little so as to be heard above
the merry throng. And when you
entered the house the sound Of
music and gay conversation came
from the drawing room and the club
room below, where the guests danced
or stood about the bar.
A strolling troubadour played an
accordionSand sang Christmas songs
while he mingled with the guests,
some of whom joined in the sing
ing as the evening wore on. The
invitations had read, $3.50 until
$3.50 o'clock" but it was much
later hour when the last of the
guests departed.
Mrs. Price and her daughter wore
costumes that were as colorful as
the miniature Christmas tree with
it's colored lights in their drawing
room, or the ruddy checked Santa
Claus in his reindeer-draWn sled in
the center of the buffet table. Mrs.
Price wore white crepe with multi
colored stones the size of half dol
lars around the neckline. She took
turns wearing the gardenias and
purple orchid that arrived before
