Helicopter Out
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. r. Hurt took
the conventional motor trip to
Warrenton for the races with
their house guest, Mr.. Frank
Piasecki. The reason for their
mode of transportation seeming
commonplace was that their
original plan for travel was by
way of Mr.. Piaseki's helicopter
until they realized that landing
might be the complete undoing
of the horses.
Mr.. Piasecki is a dashing Pol
ish bachelor from Philadelphia
and was being busily questioned
about his trip to Cuba from
which he just returned in his
plane. Joan Hurt was telling
friends a somewhat startling
fact that the helicopter was
parked on her front lawn where
it had been landed after the
trip South.
Others in this group were Mr..
Leslie Luck Of New York. Mr..
Thomas F. Maher of Gainesville.
Md, and Mrs. Cordelia S. May
of Legonier, Pa. Incidentally,
pretty Joan Hurt looked dreamy
at the ball in a turquoise silk
organdy dress fashioned with a
very bouffant skirt. Her shoes
were coral satin.

Miss Nancy Thomas, Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Gardner, jr., and
their house guests, Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Wyman of New York.
