WOMEN'S ACTIVITIES Oi'lv FRIDAY 30, 1953 District Clubs Hear Mrs. Howard Tell Of Plans For Manteo Garden third district of the Garden Clubs ot North Carolina, held here today was attended by 150 to 200 ClUb Women. Stntesville Council of Federated Garden Clubs, of which Mrs. James A. Brady is president, was hostess to t.he district meeting.

The Council is composed of 25 federated pardon clubs in Statesville and Iredcll county. Mrs. Ennis Jackson of Gaslonia, district director, presided over the business session at First Presbyterian church this morning. Rev. R.

McGeachy', pastor of the church, offered the invocation and welcome was extended by Mrs. W. 0. HoUingsworth. Mrs.

Moffal Ware'of King's Mountain responded Reports were Riven by presidents of clubs throughout the district. Music by members of the Mitchell College faculty added interest. There was a solo by Miss Lucilc Haynes of the voice department, with organ accompaniment by Miss Louise Ankeny. The session nt the church was followed by a luncheon at the Vance hotel, with Mrs. E.

A. Palmgren of Raleigh, State Garden Club president, as speaker. Mrs. Corbett Howard of Goldsboro, third vice president of the federation, who was principal speak er at.this morning's session, talked informally about the Elizabeth garden which the North Carolina Garden Club is establishing at Manteo. "This project is historically sound and has great cultural significance," she said.

"It has been characterized as one of the most imaginative and most outstanding projects ever undertaked by garden clubs." The location of this garden at historic Manteo quickens interest, whenever it is mentioned. It was there, through the efforts of Sir Walter Raleigh that Governor White's colony was established in Elizabethan group that were to be. the "Lost Colony," their destin one of the great unsolved mysteries of history, and it was there that Virginia Dare was born, first child of English parentage to be born in America. Hay Whitney's vvotulerfu! gilt to the garden is of inestimable value. He has given garden features Irom the estate of his mother, Gertrude Whitney, at Thomasvillc, Ga.

They include a fountain, several sets of steps, a sundial, a wellhead and urns. These were designed by Stanford While especially for Gertrude Whitney's garden and her son had planned to give them to the Metropolitan Museum, but he learned of the Elizabethan garden to be at Man- tco and felt that the features could have no more fitting setting. Mrs. Howard says the architects of the garden say thcv can build the most beautiful garden in American around Mr. Whitney's gift.

This club year has been set aside by the State Garden club for special effort in behalf of the Manteo garden. The week of April 16, 1954. has been named Elizabethan garden week and each garden club in North Carolina has been asked to have a special project for benefit of the garden. Mrs. Howard, who was in Europe the past summer and saw many beautiful gardens, says she saw only one "truly Elizabethan garden," Hampton Court.

Grant of Union Grove announces the engagement of his daughter, Mary Violet, of Winslon- Salem, to Ernest L.

Brady, of Winslon-Salem, son of Mr. and Mr.s. K. L. Brady of Statcsvillc.

I The wedding will take place December 5 in Win.ston-Salcm. On Bridge If you think that only beginners misuse the Blackwood Convention, you arc quite wrong. Today's hand was played in the European Championships last August at Helsinki, and the Swiss team was clumsy enough to perpetrate the bidding shown in the diagram. It could have been worse, loo. South cannot, be sure that North has even one ace.

North might have king-quecn-jack in each of the three highest suits and would surely have a fine opening but the enemy would" lake three aces. The rule lor the Blackwood Convention when your best suit is a minor is very simple. You must have two aces of your own. Then if your partner bids five clubs to sdow no aces, you can stop at the elcvel of five. And if your partner makes any other response, you are still in control of the situation.

It would be pleasant to report The look of the wool dress this season is slim, pared-down and I nearly unadorned. Lightweight wool is used by designer Hannah Troy for collarlcss dress (left) that buttons from throat, to below the waistline. Fringed plaid stole is in heavy, fleecy tweed. Slim beige tweed dress is by this same designer (center). Neckline is cut slightly away from base of the throat.

Front seaming is caught with rhinestone hooks and eyes. Tweed jersey dress by CJrabois (right) has high, collarlcss cardigan neckline and slim skirt with fold-over panels creating illusion of overskirt. Such simple dresses arc the backbone of any good wardrobe. NEW YORK- simplicity. These are words that best describe the look of this year's one-piece wool drc.ss.

Intricate seaming, careful detailing and clever collar treatments arc nallmark.s of thos dress. Every woman likes to have in her wardrobe at least one wool dress that's good for all-day wear. And if it comes with giant stole or boxy jacket. this will be the dress she reaches for most often. Tlic slim lines of such wool dresses (in tweed or jersey or broadcloth) are eased by panels or soft shirring or a concealed pleat or two at Hie hemline.

This means that the stride is not hampered. American women are not. given to mincing along and de- signers are aware that it's possible to walk freely while en- cased in a tube. Best-liked slcpve length for this dress is the one that ends just below the elbow, making possibls a display of bracelets if the weater i. likes.

The dining room table, spread with a cloth of deep cream damask, was centered bv a crystal swan filled with beautiful chrysanthemums of different varieties in tones of yellow and deep red. More lovely chrysanthemums were in the living room, and one distinctive arrangement was in shades of rose.

Miss Rose Stcphany had the program, continuing the club's study of "Great Personalities of the Present Day."
