DINNER DANCE AT CLUB WILL BE A GALA AFFAIR Weddings, Card Parties, Teas and | Smaller Supper Dances Fea- ture During Week One of the annual features at the Shuttle Meadow club at | this time of the year, dating back almost to the period which | witnessed the origin of the club is the May Ball. The dance,‘ when possible has been held very early in May but attractions of similar type were so many this season that it was considered ! better to hold the affair on Saturday, May 21. With Mrs. Howard Parsons in charge, the affair is sure to be an extraordinary triumph. Si Yaffe will play for dancing and dinner will be served at 7:30 o’clock. \ The recent Wednesday luncheon bridge party at the' Shuttle Meadow club under Mrs. John Loomis's supervision | demonstrated conclusively that these parties are not things of | the past. For years they have held an important place in the manner of informal entertaining. While their popularity witnessed a decided fall last season it is good to see them revive | so vigorously, The next luncheon occurs on Wednesday, May | 18th and again tables may be planned either beforehand or at | this time. Luncheon will be served at 1:30 o’clock. i With dances, teas, bridges and luncheons filling the spring i days with activity, the bride and her attendant parties always foremost, society is enjoying a very busy season. Among the June marriages is to be that of Miss Catherine Wells, | daughter of Mrs. William Wells, to Stanley Duncan. Miss Wells | has chosen Saturday June 25th for her wedding day. She is to be married in church with a large reception following at the Wells residence in Newington. In June also comes the wedding of Orlando Swift, son of Talmadge Swift of Cedar street. Mr. Swift is to wed Miss Janice Bearce of Lowell, Mass. Though the wedding will occur in Vermont it will draw many people | from town, for Mr. Swift comes from one of New Britain's oldest families and his relatives and friends number many. * PERSONALS Visitors In and Out of i Miss Paula Maloit of Bridgeport {is spending tho week-end with Miss | Ruby Andrews, daughter of Mr. |ana Mrs. John A.
