HIGH.SOCIETY The :Charity ‘ Bail: A Smorgasbord AUSTIN , Those among our vast newspaper audience who have been deprived of the pleasures of High Society will be downcast when they learn of the splendor in which 550 couples \(at night’s Charity or Chrysanthemum Ball in San Antonio. We at the Observer made a desperate effort to get free tickets for months, but we were rebuffed at every juncture with the firm but polite explanation that this was not a charity ball, but a ball for charity. Deprived, thus, of attending the glitterous occasion, we fell back upon the society pages last Friday morninga considerable rout. The theme was Oriental, to-wit \(in ti Chrysanthemums, giant size, mechum and small and in varying colors were here and there and everywhere, in the lower floor of the Menger Hotel, thus supplying the name ‘Chrysanthemum Ball,’ the second Charity Ball, held Thursday night in that hotel. The ballroom, the lobby of the hotel, was set off from the desk area by a wall of bamboo that ‘provided a background for an Oriental garden, complete with ponds of running water and goldfish. Graveled walks led guests through the garden, traced with flagstones and set off from the dancing areas by a low rock wall. White gravel walks formed the approach to a red lacquered bridge, spanning the shallow ponds. The picture was a Japanese fall garden scene, with bronze and yellow /Mills, Japanese statues and tree branches that featured on Oriental setting. Marble Buddha At the far end of the ballroom, a white marble Buddha, enthroned in varying shades of pink mums, watched the dancers from a seat amid an arrangement of white mums flecked -with gold beneath a red and black Tori gate. Jan Garber and his orchestra played .for dancing from another authentic Oriental setting, a reproduction of a Chinese festival boat. A 20-foot high Chinese pagoda that reached the third balcony was in the Victorian Room. It was designed in black, gold and red with Chinese silver. At least a hundred Chinese lanterns hung around it. We were also agog at the costumes the mesdames wore, and we select here a few examples that you may Envy Appropriately: 46 Mrs. John W. Murchison’s gown was of Oriental brocade in shades of tangerine, gold, copper and alabaster, with designs of chrysanthemums woven into the material. It was a slim sheath with a high neckline in front and lower in the back. The skirt flared below the knees. With this she wore antique oriental jewels. Her slippers were gold satin Emerald Green Mrs. Arthur Bird’s gown was of emerald green satin, fashioned with a strapless bodice embroidered in pearls and -golden beads, and full skirt with champagne trim. She wore green slippers …. Mrs. Merlon Minter wore a Jacques Fath model of soft blue satin. The bodice was strapless, over which was worn a stole of tulle. Over the satin skirt were panels of flared tulle, which parted in the front. The bodice and skirt were beaded in silver sequins. Her slippers were backless of matching hue. The story did not mention the charity that is to benefit, and perhaps it is best to leave it at that. NORSE This community of 300, which the Highway Department doesn’t recognize with a sign, certainly got on the map Thursday night. Four hundred persons, some from as far away as Beverly Hills, California, savored Scandinavian deliCacies as only these Norwegian folk know how to prepare them; enjoyed Norwegian atmosphere ; saw Norwegian costumes ; heard Norwegian -. tunes. It was the seventh annual Norse smorgasbord. The register was crowded with Texans from Shephenville, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Bay City, Comanche, and other distant cities. The town of Norse itself is a bit of the hilly Bosque County countryside west of Clifton which has retained the customs and, in some instances, the language of its NorWegian settlers of a century ago. The churchwhere guests register and hear Rev. Joel Nelson recite grace in the Norwegian tongueand the church. halt where the ladies serve the food, are almost too typical: the one The Texas Observer Page 7 , Nov. 16, 1955 LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS NOTICE OF SALE OF COUNTY LAND By order of the Commissioners’ Court of Travis County, Texas, I hereby give notice that on Tuesday,.
