Christmas Ball at Frances Hotel Hosted by Harold Engstroms
Social season highlights the Engstroms hosting a Christmas ball in the Mirror room of the Frances hotel. Miss Betty Engstrom, in blue tulle, tops the guest list with her parents assisting, as frost-fringed fruit frappe circulates from a poinsettia-lit ice sculpture. A long guest roster includes Mr. and Mrs. Touchstone, the Slagles, the Browns, and numerous (listed) social figures, along with dozens of dancing attendees led by Mary Stuart Kelloex and Clayton Kilpatrick.
