THE INDEX, Saturday, May 12, 1928<br />
" ^ # S O C I E T Y<br />
LOVERS of good horses and also those<br />
whose interest in a Horse Show lies<br />
mainly in its picturesque elements will<br />
be equally pleased with the show June seventh,<br />
eighth and ninth in the Allegheny<br />
Country Club ring on Sewickley Heights. A<br />
Corinthian class, participants in which will be<br />
members of recognized hunts in full dress,<br />
will inspire some of the artistic pleasure<br />
which Mr. A. J. Munnings must have experienced<br />
quite often and which he recorded in<br />
numerous hunt pictures. "Pink coats" and<br />
high silk hats, in mounted groups appeal to<br />
everyone's love of the ceremonies, quite aside<br />
from the value of the mount. The John C.<br />
Oliver Memorial cup will be the object of<br />
their efforts.<br />
Another class which will work up its own<br />
enthusiasm, if any working is necessary, is<br />
the children's jumping class, an innovation.<br />
In it will be included children of many ages,<br />
—debutantes and their swains of many years<br />
to come.<br />
As usual luncheon will be served on the<br />
grounds, buffet style, from a booth with Mrs.<br />
T. McKee Graham in charge. She will be<br />
assisted by Mrs. Frank Faber Brooks, Mrs.<br />

tapers gleamed through ferns and yellow<br />
ribbons marked the aisle. The bride wore a<br />
gown of ivory pointe de soie, built on straight<br />
lines, with close-fitting sleeves and a train<br />

at the back of the gown ended in two long<br />
streamers. The veil of tulle was arranged<br />
in cap effect, with four wings. The bride's<br />
