Show I lSMS0N WITH GALA COSTUME AFFAIR I Seldom has any similar affair cap tured both heart and hand of the smart set as did yesterday's doings, when festival mood prevailed from half after aft-er 1 until the wee small hours this morning when all the lovers of outdoor out-door sports turned back into childhood's child-hood's days and musings to enjoy a perfect hour or two on the green sward of the golf links. The fete began be-gan with the early comers men and women of society were clad in the costumes cos-tumes of medieval days and in the quieter tones and simplicity of the modern republics. Nearly "every nation na-tion had its representation of the dominating dom-inating figures of some distinctive period in the world's history. The five colors used by the Egyptians, red, orange, green, blue and yellow, were lavish and intense. The Aztec and other primitive races found adherents also and the Japanese were Idealized in Oriental style. kv Not in 6pite of, but because of, v, this opening affair, Mrs. E. J. Har- j1 ness, who was done up In apple green tik satin with skirt of the hula hula dan- Bfc cer with numerous lei about her MB throat and ankle bracelets of the MS same, was a fetching picture to be K sure. Xjj Mrs. Chapin A. Day looked as if she Hh had just stepped out of one of those K gorgeous colonial frames when full B length pictures were quite in vogue. m Mrs. Bristol's interpretation of the Bg Far East would create envy in the gK heart of the great Farrar of Butterfly eg fame, and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Day Bjr had just returned from peasant life in IB Norway. K Mrs. Baker made a picture in Co- M lonial dress, while Dr. Baker's digni- B fied Uncle Sam was irreproachable. WT Mrs. J. W. Abbott might have been 9 a boy scout in khaki, so trim and coy K was she. Hft Mrs. Kimball wore a pirouette cos- ffl tume in black and white, while Mr. jpfiL Kimball took the part of an Irish (M sontleman. Mrs. L L. Reynolds was a youthful school girl in her dainty pink apron and sunbonnet. Mrs. Horn wore her badge of servitude in kitchen apron and cap. Mrs. Harris was a real gypsy girl, with all of the attendant brilliancy of color, and Mrs. Jack Browning, Mrs. R. L. Eccles and Mrs. DeVine were stunning in riding costumeB, a-la-mode, while their dutiful husband were typical typi-cal soldier boys. Mrs. Rowe might have come from the Garden of Allah in her gorgeous bloomers of satin blue, her face partially par-tially concealed from the inquisitive crowd by a veil of tulle. Dreamy eyed and typical of the Mexican seniorlta was Mrs. Bigelow, whose shoulders were wrapped in a serape of gorgeous stripes. Mrs Boyd was lovely in a quaint summer frock Mr. and Mrs. P. T. Wright had crossed the plains in a broken-down auto, built in pre-historic times, the journey had been long and the faces showed grease and dusty marks as did the khaki suits. Yellow formed the major part of the queen of the hula hula dances as typified typi-fied by Mrs. Maule, though a native could hardly boast of the luxuriant hair which nearly touched the skirt's hem. Mrs. Bratz well, she had just emerged from one of the pages of Godey's magazines of the end of the last century Mr "Dick" Leok was dressed ready for the Turkish council and Mrs. Leek had not overlooked colonial possibilities in clothes. Mrs. Van Meter was a good mate to her husband, whose tag proclaimed him "The man of the hour," and the little hoe slung over his shoulder told the rest. Mr. Buchmiller was a scream in his characterization of "Yon Yonson." Mrs. Holllngsworth wore a dainty schoolgirl's costume with youthful sash, and her golden curls wreathed in ' m iiii.,w.uiij,i i in m .i i. r-i--q ; her face just beneath the brim of her sunbonnet. Mrs. John Spargo must have been in a riding tournament, for her suit of checked cloth was faultless. Abbott Glick was said to look like mother, but that statement was challenged, chal-lenged, so he assumed the role of "Just Lie." Luke Wright in his Turkish cap and vest, looked the part of the young Sultan who entertained myriads of charming women folk in the tea-room. Mrs. Kirkendall essayed the yama yama man and Mrs. Hoag proved her familiarity with the Chinese costume as we know it. Mrs. Minnie Kiesel-Shearman Kiesel-Shearman brought with her across the seas the Norwegian costume as worn by the peasant before the war. She was quaint and picturesque, and Mr. Shearman's SI Perkins well! somehow some-how it just suited him. Harold Peery's Sing Sing role of two-colored stripes looked threatening to the law-breaker, and Billy Harris as "Robin Hood" left his voice at home. Joe Scowcroft's khaki "Never-Rips," topped with a silk hat of other das accentuated his distinguished manner Miss Edna Wattis expects to go to Turkey some time soon, hence the lovely suit so becomingly chosen, while Miss Ruth Wattis was content to interpret the American Indian before be-fore the states numbered thirteen. Mr. Day was coquettish In his girlish girl-ish suit Mr. A. T. Wright and Ralph Bristol have missed their calling, for they were superb specimens of the colored mammies they represented. Gene Carr was a colored jockey and W. C. Wright, as George Primrose, was good enough for even George. Ted Abbott and Wesley Brown, who had forgotten their everyday wear, were retained as caddies. Dr. Joyce, who was dissatisfied with nature's choice, blackened one half of his head and faco to further accentuate his knowledge of anatomy, while it fell to the lot of Colonel Boyd to present the modest bill of ?7 for the services of seven hours of alertness. Rumor states that up to a late hour the bill had not been paid. There were many onlookers, among them being Mrs. A. C. Abbott, Mrs, G. A. Glide, Mrs. A. T. Wright, Mrs. Gus Wright, Mrs. Nora Smith Rowe, Mrs. Joyce and her daughter Kathryn, Mr. Dix and Mr Harness of Roy, Mr. and Mrs. Carr, Mrs. Eugene Carr. |
