Instead of a failure, the season was turned into an inspiring, profitable success, with 13 concerts and six ballet performances for audiences totaling more than 150,000 persons. In addition, an emergency fund of more than $87,000 was raised to insure future Symphonies Under the Stars. Mrs. Chandler also is actively engaged in the Southern California Symphony Association, of which she is executive vice-president, and as a member of the Los Angeles County Advisory Committee.

Her past activities include extensive work for the Childrens Hospital and she worked unstintingly in behalf of the Citizens Committee for an auditorium and music center. Maureen Connolly, 1 7, at Top of Tennis World Outstanding this year was her chairmanship of the Doll Fair which netted $80,000 for the Convalescent Home (it is not Community Chest-supported) to be used as a primary source of maintenance. As chairman of the Board of Associates of the Hospital, she helps exercise jurisdiction and supervision over all the guilds and auxiliaries of the Childrens Hospital Society of which she is vice-president. Clinic to Be Built Mrs. Duque is deeply gratified that a new clinic is going up that will service 100,000 visits from children whose parents are unable to pay.

It is more than coincidental that the Michael J. Connell Clinic Building will be erected while Mrs. Duque is an officer of the Hospital Society. When the hospital staff sees the blue-eyed, trim and attractive woman in the corridors they know she is there on behalf of her executive duties and also as Illustrated on Pag 1 The Times Women of the Year for 1951 are eight Southern California women whose accomplishments stand out as notable examples of what Southlanders are doing. Community leadership, philanthropic efforts, betterment of children, individual artistic and athletic achievement all are represented in this group.

Here they are, with brief summaries of why they were selected. Junior League's Chief, Mrs. Bullis, Selected As president of the Junior League of Los Angeles Mrs. John A. E.

Bullis is proudest of the organization's 1951 crown sponsorship of the Junior League Girls Club. Planned in conjunction with the Salvation Army's Red Shield Youth Center, the club will serve the cultural and practical needs of more than 200 girls. The daughter of the Neil S. McCarthys, Mrs. Bullis attended Marlborough and UCLA, where she was a psychology major.

A wise and flexible young woman, she tempers technical knowl edge of human foibles nd vir tues with a genuine kindliness and understanding gained by working with many organizations and many types of people. Has Two Daughters She is the wife of Dr. Bullis end mother of their two daughters, 9-year-old Victoria and Rosemary, aged 8. With this skilled executive, her family is first. Any visitor in the Bullis home is struck by the vibrations of contentment and happiness and expression of individuality by all members of the household Even the numerous pets! She came here 26 years ago from the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts.

She turned from commercial art to illustrative design about 11 years ago, drawing inspiration from the flora and fauna of the Southland and a prolific talent that thrives on hard work and a co-ordinated plan encompassing a constant change of pace. Scenes for Chinaware Recognition in the form of commissions came first in an order to paint 12 historical California scenes for chinaware to be fired and fashioned by Wedgwood of England. Next came commissions for wallpaper for a section of Bullock's Wilshire, and pottery designs for informal and breakfast services (one of which is still one of the nation's largest selling patterns). When Bullock's Pasadena opened in 1947, Miss Honeywell was chosen to paint murals covering approximately 2000 square feet and this year she co-ordinated the decorative arts of this firm's Westwood store. Vivacious ana warmly friendly, attractive Annette Honeywell is a recent grandmother, though you'd never guess it by her appearance.

She's a slender, blue-eyed brunette, witty and exuberant. Mrs. L. K. Sims Works for Benefit of Humans Whether she is taking care of the four children whom she and her husband have made their own, or whether she is working for the things asked for by chaplains of the military forces, Mrs.

Louis K. Sims is working for the benefit of human beings. Such work, in her opinion, measures the stature of a woman. The big work Mrs. Sims has done in 1951 is the reactivation of the Chaplains Service Corps of the University Religious Conference of UCLA.

The CSC provides, so far as it can those needs urged by chaplains working with servicemen everywhere. The needs this past year have duplicated, and in some cases even exceeded, those for which the organization labored during World War II. MrsSims has been the leader of CSC since its organization. Continuing Need There is continuing need for women who will hehp to supply the needs of men in camp, whether that need be for postal cards and darning cotton or for television sets and loud-speaking equipment. She has found many loyal women who have given and continue to give service.

The cause needs many more, says Mrs. Sims. Pictured on Page 1 with Mrs. Sims are the four adopted children, who have become, in the thinking of herself and Mr. Sims, the really important members of the family.

They are Susan and Christopher on their mother's right and Emily Jane and Kelly on the other side. LUXCHEOS in Rolling Hill teas occasion to revpel be trothal of Jane Pyne to Douglas Mordock Adams.

Needless to say, she is appreciated and loved for her compassionate service and her sincere warm friendliness.

Perhaps being the wife of an esteemed lawyer has added to her natural qualities of logic and efficiency. And certainly being the mother of two sons, Gabriel C. Duque Jr. and James McAlis-ter Duque, has implemented in her devotion to all children. Ann Hodge Has Top Job in Merchandising Ann Hodge holds a- unique position in the merchandising field.

Her title is general manager of Bullock's Wilshire and she is the only woman in the United States to hold this top executive job in a store of the scope and caliber of this world-famous, high-fashion establishment Direct and soft-spoken in manner, this unassuming and interesting woman has been associated with Bullock's, for 31 years and has been the guiding force of the Wilshire store since 1942. Modest almost to the point of shyness when the success of her many achievements is referred to, she does take pride (and a sincere personal interest) in knowing each of the 1000 employees who make up her working staff. Devotion Mutual "I love people," she states simply, and her devotion to her employees is returned in full. She keeps in touch with them by taking time out to chat with them on the job, by lunching with them informally in their private lunch room and by sharing their personal and professional problems. Miss Hodge hires all executives and their assistants and makes a point of seeing all potential employees who are referred to her.

Covers X.Y. Market She covers the New York market twice yearly and spends some time with each store buyer while there. Besides developing good public relations for the firm, she feels this' encourages her buyers and gives them courage. A native of Springfield, she came directly to Bullock's, after her graduation from Mount St. Mary's College in Cincinnati.

Annette HoneyivelVs Signature Acclaimed On one of the highest peaks in the Los Feliz Hills is the workshop and home of a merry-spirited and distinguished young woman who describes herself as an artist-designer. She is Annette Honeywell, whose signature is nationally! acclaimed on murals, wallpa- pers, textiles, china, silver, car-: peting and most anything else you can mention that reflects the artistic creation of old, estab-j lished things done in an entire-: ly new and inspired way. I YOUR FUN Is Our Business! SEE PAGE 2 PART THIS PAPIH America's tennis queen is 17-year-old Maureen Connolly of San Diego. The National Women's Singles championship went to the personable young South-lander in September, after more than seven years of training and concentration during which she had shown outstanding aptitude. Her greatest victory came before her 17th birthday.

Concentration that quality of all natural champions is hers to the extent that she is called "poker-faced" during her matches. Pictures of her swinging a racket are marked by it. But off the courts, she is just as happy and full of fun as other girls of her age. She likes music, dancing, dating, clothes and baseball. Lives AVith Mother Maureen lives with her mother, Mrs.

Jessamine Berste, who naturally is proud of her and encouraged her long before Maureen won her first national girls' championship. "Little Miss Tennis" plans to keep right on winning titles. She probably will turn professional eventually, and says she does not expect to get married for a long time. Meanwhile, she will be the woman to beat in tournament. Lead in Charity Work Irene Dunne has had many awards and honors for her success as one of the great motion-picture actresses.

The Times pays tribute to her for another achievement her leadership in charities benefitting many thousands of people That recognition includes Miss Dunne's work abroad in 1951. Sweden does homage to her for the benefit she led for Radda Barnen the International Union for Child Welfare. A letter to Miss Dunne dated Nov. 2 from Stockholm acknowledges her aid, enthusiastically talked of throughout Sweden. Interest Shown The letter closes with this word: "We also allow ourselves to interpret your generosity and kindness as a proof of the interest and understanding of the serious efforts and aims that are Radda Barnen's.

This is a source of great encouragement and satisfaction to Irene Dunne is many things to many people. But the fact that she was one of the first women in the United States to sponsor the National Heart Committee and served on an early national board of this organization; that she has worked just as hard with the Cancer Society; that she is an active member of the Sister Kenny Foundation and that her work for St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica is still held as "tops" in all such efforts of leadership these are among the things that make her one The Times Women of the Year. Mrs. Gabriel C.

Duqiie Proves Hospital Mainstay When old friends'and kinsmen were asked the consuming interest of Mrs. Gabriel C. Duque, there was a concerted answer: Childrens Hospital! Quietly and indefatigably, Mrs. Duque channels the time she spares from her family to the welfare of that institution. anted boards of the Junior League Girls, Club, Salvationist Advisory and the Red Shield Youth Center.

Other Activities Other boards served by Mrs. Bullis are the Needlework S-mphony Previews and Kappa Kappa Gamma at UCLA.

The community is grateful to this exemplary young citizen for her time given to the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, John Tracy Clinic, Child Welfare Division of the Welfare Federation, Community Chest, Red Cross and Junior Philharmonic.

Mrs. Norman Chandler Comes to Boivl Rescue Southern California and the musical World were stunned last July 14 when Hollywood Bowl in the fourth day of its 33rd season of Symphonies Under the Stars, was forced to close for financial reasons. While the community mourned the loss of its cultural prestige, Mrs. Norman Chandler, recently named a director of the Hollywood Bowl Association, determined not only to salvage the interrupted season, but to strengthen the tradition of culture epitomized by Hollywood Bowl. Clearing her calendar of all other matters, she worked without regard for personal considerations to reorganize the Bowl on an emergency basis.
