'I if 1 1 1 fOt'" 7 Sociologists are plagued with problems of older persons who are.

retired and who find themselves without interests. Once their Jobs are- done and their children have grown up and lef home, the last years of many such people are empty. They are not prepared, for some reason, to take advantage of the leisure they have worked for all their lives. This age group is growing larger In the United States as medical care lengthens life and as machinery does more and more of man's work. Aiming at this important problem of discontented oldsters is Women's Inter-club council of Greater Lansing.

They are sponsoring a panel discussion "Add Life to Your Years," Monday at 7:30 p. in the Y. W. C. A.

to talk over just what can be done to discover the needs of this group. Miss Esther Anson of adult education department, Michigan State college, will be chairman of the panel. Moderator will be Loy La-Salle, director of adult education in the Lansing school system. Panel members include Herbert Mrs. Clarence Towar, 231 S.

POST BALL MEMORIES Though the clever dance programs for "Le Bal Parisien" may be tucked in some unassuming drawer today, memories of this gala dinner-dance of Lansing Commandery, No. 25, Knights Templar, are still fresh. The Thursday party ranks as one of the social highlights of the midwinter season. Its unique pageantry in the grand march preceding dancing was especially colorful this year. Feminine guests presented a rainbow whirl with their full-skirted filmy gowns to contrast with the full dress of their knights.

Guests dancing the evening away in the ballroom were intrigued by the imaginative decor, carrying out the French motif here. Mr. and Mrs. Archie Fuller, ballroom chairmen, headed the corps of workers responsible for its effectiveness. Among ball patrons commenting in deilghted tones about the decor were Mr.

and Mrs. Fred Marin, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Glea-son, Mr. and Mrs.

Gerald A. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice B. Allen.

Graeme K. Howard of Rye, N. Y. Suzette's romance has been closely followed by Lansingites, aware of her family's government service. Her paternal grandparents are Mrs.

Fred T. Murphy of Grosse Pointe and the late Col. Frederick M. Alger. Her great grandfather was the late Sen.

Russell A. Alger. He served as governor of Michigan, a United States senator and secretary of war in the cabinet of Pres. McKinley. Rev.

George Selway, freshly back from a two weeks holiday in Ft. Lauderdale, journeyed to Grosse Pointe to officiate at the marriage with Rev. Frank Fitt. The striking brunette bride, who insisted on simplicity for her rites, donned a gown of pure white im-primee satin. It featured a deep neckline, achieved by double inverted folds of materiaL FASHION NOTES The bodice of this Jacques Fath original, made for Suzette in New York, was molded, to accent her slim waist.

Back interest came by a pointed panel effect. The voluminous skirt was dramatized by a long, formal court train. A tulle bridal cloche, also simple in its styling, was covered with miniature white velvet stepha-notis blossoms. Each was centered by a small single pearl. Three graduated tulle veils were attached to the back of the cloche.

The all white bridal bouquet was small and stiff looking, concocted of stephanotis. Maid of honor was Miss Anne McGean of Shaker Heights, O. She wore a subdued emerald frock of waltz length faille. Her Juliet cap of velvet leaves was in the same hue as her dress. CONTINGENT The contingent of 10 bridesmaids were similarly frocked.

In addition they had short white gloves and carried casual bouquets of all white carnations. They were Miss Prances Boyer and Miss Mary Boyer, cousins of the bride; Miss Marian (Sammy) Chapin, Miss, Sally Anne Watters, all of Grosse Pointe. Also Miss Elizabeth Crawford of Watch Hill, R.

and Mrs. W. H. Anderson, 326 N. Walnut st, staged a "movie premier party." Their film, "Holy Island Terrors," featured the Andersons' fellow cottage owners on Holy Island, Lake Charlevoix.

The movie was produced, directed and photographed by the Andersons last summer. And Saturday night they projected their home masterpiece in their recreation room "theater." In the cast and attending the premier were Mr. and Mrs. George Alderton, Mr. and Mrs.

LENTEN PACE Lent's approach on this Ash Wednesday will herald a much quieter social pace in town. However, one important dance does spark the docket for next Friday: Triple Tau members will stage their final party of their current series in the Masonic temple.

"Buttons and Bows" is to be the motif for decor, being cleverly worked out by Roger Ewing and Norm Kesel. This concluding dancing party is formal and will be followed by a midnight buffet luncheon. The Fenby-Carr orchestra from Detroit will play from 9 to 12 midnight. Dr. and Mrs.

Francis Jones are chairmen, detailing the party and will also be hosts at a cocktail party prior to the dance at the Country Club of Lansing. Just a sidenote: Triple Tau dances are very pretty public parties, sponsored, by a Masonic group on a non-profit basis. Speaking of Lent always brings to mind the colorful Mardi Gras in New Orleans, now approaching its climax. Though Lansingites, Mr, and Mrs. Gilbert Burrell, can't stay for the climax (which is Tuesday Shrove Tuesday, at that), they have been seeing much of the festivities this past week.

The Burrells have recently been in Denver, and Colorado Springs. They have also stopped off at Santa Fe, San Antonio and Galveston, on their winter holiday. HIGH SCHOOL HOP East Lansing high school Juniors will some day stretch their memories back to this week-end and fondly recall their J-Hop time. Prior to the Saturday ball in the school's gymnasium, an open house on lavish scale was staeed by seven school friends. All members of the class and their dates were welcomed between 7:30 and 9 o'clock in the Albert Schweizer residence on Kedzie East Lansing.

Hostesses with Mary Lou Schweizer were Joan Atcock. Evelyn Noble, Sally Gibson, Sandy Randall, Pat Gregory, and Janet Hicks. Because the J-Hop theme was TVIissirlou," the girls chose also jungle motif for table decor. Their centerpiece was concocted of palm trees and native dancers doing their stuff around a pool.
