The two women planned care fully their wardrobe for the occa sion, assisted by Mrs. Larry Why tal. For her ball gown Mrs. Put nam selected a beige silk bro cade long formal with full drape forming a short train. The low neckline was fashioned of soft folds of the material. With it she wore gold slippers and gold and amber jewelry. Long white kid gloves and a gold mesb bag com pleted her attire.

The two couples, who hoped to Italian Fashion Opening Shows Flashback Trend FLORENCE, Italy AP)-Con- troversial Roberto Capucci raised furor at the Italian fashion openings Tuesday night, but Si' monetta took most of the bows with an idea she .carried over from fall. With the Big Four of Roman couture all showing their new collections, it was the biggest day of the Florence showings of spring and summer fashions. Simonelta stuck to her boyish look" rounded, parenthesis- shaped sleeves, slightly arched at the shoulders, that were engi neered on loose, sometimes bias- cut coats and on rather high- walsted swagger suits. The collection brought unani mous, foot-stomping, approval from buyers and press. The au dlcnce loved the full, arched' sleeve coats and dandified, turn' of-the-ccntury suits, all with round glass buttons that looked like giant marbles. Simonetta stuck to her "boyish evening clothes had rounded neck' lines and arched sleeves cut short. There were both bright colors and black. Simonetta outshone her com petitor husband, Fabiani. He, too, stuck to a theme of last season, wide, kimono sleeves on loose coats. Some beautifully shaped dresses sleeveless, collarlcss, and with a soft, flaring chemise line were under the coats. Capucci came later in the even ing. Buyers and press were sharp ly divided over whether his clothes were dreams or night' mares. But the audience liked his dramatic evening clothes and gave him an ovation for effort. Capucci did 1930 costumes in murky colored crepes that dripped with bias cutting. Heads were banded, with tulle bows to complete the flashback look. Some bright ideas looked fresh. A new, parachute-like silk made billowing coats over matching dresses. Colors were yellow, mauve, shrimp pink, and mint green in polka dots. Sleeveless, reversible coats in two-tone silks and cottons went over chemise dresses. Beads that looked like by plane, DIK JeI1y oeuns maae uuuuns anu belts on dresses and edged suit jackets. After tlio fuss over Capucci, Irene Galitzine's collection was mild but well executed. Loose coats had flange shoul ders and mandarin collars that stood away from the neck. But tons were dispensed with, adding to the clean line. Galitzine used oyster white, lime green, gerani um pink and navy houndstooth check wools. Suits were collarlcss and buttonless, with hip length jack ets and slightly, gathered skirts, There was a lot of spongy light weight tweed, and for detailing, fringed edging of the fabric. Evening brought on some one. shouldered dresses, floor-length but slit up one side to show a knee-length underskirt., attend the noon inaugural cere mony if late arrangements could be made, sat in box seats in the reviewing stand for the parade. In any event they were assured of at least a glimpse of the many notables gathered in the city for the inauguration. On Thursday evening plans were for them to attend the in augural Democratic Gala in the Armory, starring many top en tertainers and .attended by Presi dent-elect and Mrs. Kennedy. The gala was opened at 8:45 p.m. by Bernstein conducting The Stars and Stripes Forever, fol lowed by group appearances of many performers. The Kennedys arrived later in time for individu al presentations by such stars as Ethel Merman, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra. For this occasion Mrs. Putnam I selected an American Beauty red silk brocade cocktail sheath with draped bodice, cap sleeves and slim skirt. Mrs. Walker appeared at the gala in a black peau de sole original with the new bubble skirt and dropped neckline. Her Jewelry was rhinestone and her bag, black antelope.

There are approximately 4,000 musicians in the United States and another 550 in 46 other coun tries who are banded together in to an informal organization called the Amateur Chamber Music Players. Their whole purpose: To make classical music together anytime the mood luts, whether they're at home or traveling. What makes the new string and wind instrument and piano plav ers different from their minstrel ancestors is that they are neither professional musicians (except in rare cases) nor itinerant rovers. They're more apt to be traveling men in gray flannel suits, entire families, or students on a vacation in unfamiliar territory. Through a directory compiled "as a labor of love" by one of its members, Miss Helen Rice, a retired music teacher, an ama teur music lover can reach an other musician or musicians for an evening of Mozart or Haydn. Miss Rice, a vigorous woman! 'bordering on 60," is a violin and viola player. In an interview, she said the amateur's organization had its beginnings with Leonard Strauss, an Indianapolis tailoring firm representative who traveled a lot, always taking his violin so he could practice in his room "after he'd exhausted every movie." , Strauss, now dead, decided there miglit be others like him who would rather play music than sit in lonely hotel rooms. He told friends of his idea, they began pooling names of musicians, and Auxiliary Seats Officers The Ladies Auxiliary affiliated with Encampment No. 46 met Jan. 13 in the Odd Fellows Hall with Anna Erickson, chief mat riarch, in the chair.
