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 />

of Center Avenue, took place in the<br />

Petty performed the ceremony. On the<br />

altar were gladioli and yellow roses. Cathedral<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 />

that fell from the waist line. A narrow band<br />

of tulle outlined the V-neck and a large bow<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 />

Cibotium ferns decorated the chancel<br />

and on the altar were Ascension lilies. Spring<br />
