Anthony House, 17 Madison the only national historic landmark in Monroe County, has more money in the bank today thanks to the Rochester Federation of Women's Clubs. The group held a card party yesterday at the Brighton Town Hall for the sole purpose of raising funds to maintain the home of the women's rights leader. Mrs.

William Schmidts was chairman of the party assisted by Mrs. John Washington. Hostesses at the party were Mrs. Richard Miller-lek, Mrs. Benjamin Wunder, Mrs.

Georgia Kay, Mrs. Edwin ''ike and Mrs. Eugene Haidt. -Presiding at the tea tables were Mrs. Arthur Mrs.

Harry Davis, Mrs. Kenneth Power, Mm. fialph Murphy and Mrs. Grover Strong. freparlng for Gala ZThe Junior Aides for the Handicapped are making aH -the last minute preparations this morning for the annual Charity Ball to be held tonight at the Sheraton Hotel.

Chairmen of the ball are Mrs. Daniel Suter and Mrs. Jack Debenham. Mrs. Suter isn't sure just how long the organization has been having this annual fund raising dance.

"I've been a member for more than 15 years, and there's been a ball every one of those years, and I suspect there were long before that," she says. Profits from the ball will be used to further the aides' assistance to the Cerebal Palsy Association, the Association for the Blind, the Visiting Nurses sociation and the Rochester State Hospital. Some of the money will be used to finance the aides" annual party for multiple sclerosis patients at the county hospital and for food baskets for handicapped families distributed through the Christmas Bureau. "I really enjoy working in this group," Mrs. Suter says "It's because we work with individuals rather than in large institutions.

We take people to and from doctors, arrange for payments on bills, drive children to school, buy typewriters so handicapped people can work and other things like that. It's very satisfying because we know and can see where our money and time are going." Assisting the chairman on the dance arrangements are Mrs. Robert E. Brink, Mrs. Horace Pierce, Mrs.

Robert Brubaker and Mrs. Vernon p. Thayer. Syl Novelli's Orchestra will play for dancing. RIT Women Meet The Rochester Institute of Technology's Women's Council has a new slate of officers who we're elected recently at a meeting of the group at the home of Institute president Mrs.

"And now, we've gone high class," says rug hooker Mrs. Maynard Barnes of Fifth Avenue, Fairport. She means that a woman buys new materials, beautiful fabrics, to go into her hooked rugs, and uses professional dyes, created especially for the rug hooker, if she seeks a change of color. The older-day rug hooker had at least two reasons for her craftwork. A rug, yes.

But also, to be able to put to good use, and not waste, the leftover scraps of material from sewing, or the "good" parts of a worn out dress or suit. As for color, fabrics back then might be dyed with walnuts, butternuts, onions or Indian poke berries. ALBERTA BARNES joined the Monroe County Hooked Rug Guild 10 years' ago. Members meet once a month in recent years at the Rochester Museum and Science and sessions often take all morning and afternoon, since they combine business meetings, lessons by a paid instructor, lunches, the "work session" hours of actual rug making, observing the work of other members, checking progress, exchanging ideas. The Hooked Rug Guild makes more than rugs.

Members create a variety of hooked home arts wall hangings, chair seats, covers for door stops, mats for pictures, old fashioned door pulls. A project that drew the interest of many last year were berry tote bags, introduced by one of the instructors, and resulting in dozens of bags with raised hooking designs forming berries (blue-berries, strawberries) of which one member said, "They look so luscious you can practically smell the berry juice." Mrs. Barnes, like most, has the standard tools of the craft the rug hooking frame (on a stand like artist's easel), the hooks to push the colored strips of fabric into place to form the desired design, and a metal cloth cutter to make the strips. Add to those, a continuing supply of backing usually, burlap and of colored fabrics. For her rugs and other hooked crafts, today's woman is most likely to buy quantities of new fabric in most cases, wool which is either selected in the desired colors, or dyed.

After color selection comes cutting, often so that the width of each strip is three thirty-seconds of an inch (not as complicated as it sounds; since the metal cutter performs this mathematical chore.) THE GUILD HAS AN open house exhibit once every year or every two years to show members' handwork, and also helps to provide displays at places such as veterans' hospitals, with the latter often stimulating interest in a craft therapy. (Yes, members say, men often get to enjoy rug hooking just as women do.) Mrs. Barnes says she began with chair seats (to give herself something "small" as a starter); went on to larger pieces, and is now "on her ninth rug." Her rugs include hooked orientals and various patterns such as flowers, mushrooms It isn't a speedy process; as she says, "I find it takes me an hour to do a section the size of a postcard and that's not in pattern, but just the plain colored background." Burlap stamped with patterns make designs easier for rug hookers and the method is to do the more in-, tricate pattern work first, and then fill in with the background. Many members seek additional professional instruction, and, many have gone to summer sessions at "Rug camps," where women from all over" for a week or 1 more of daily tug making sessions. (Companionship, they say, is one of the added incentives of the hours spent creating a rug.) Mrs.

Barnes won't bring it' up, but friends of hers will, as they did the other day that she's equally as good with a hoe as she is a rug hook. "'If you think her rugs are beautiful," one of them said, "you should see her flower garden the prettiest one in Fairport!"

The thieves seem to be divided into'two types; those who steal cash and those who steal jewelry. The jewelry types broke into the house of one extremely affluential family and stole close to half a million dollars worth of shiny things from the mistress of the mansion.

Uninsured. The master of the mansion didn't believe in insurance. (He does now.) Practically next door, the crooks got away with another load almost as large. The theory has been advanced that perhaps the robbers sneak up the Inland Waterway (many Hobe Sound houses are on the water) and sneak through the woods to the loot. They must be ectoplasmic because none of the servants ever sees them.

Hobe Sounders are notorious for not drawing their shades. Anyone lurking in the wooded areas surrounding the houses can see everything that's going It en's Club will have a program, "Flowers and the Four i Seasons," presented by Har-, old Isaacs of Eastman Kodak Company.

Mrs. Ernest (Rosemary) Kanzler has been in Detroit staying with the Henry Fords.

It's one of the better ways to see Detroit. Rosemary is trying to sell the Grosse Point house she lived in (from time to time) when she was married to the late multimillionaire. She just bought a house in London in the exclusive Hyde Park Gardens section, she has an enormous villa in the South of France and a sensational chalet in St. Moritz and. well, there is such a thing as being overhoused, isn't there, Rosemary, you pretty littje overhoused thing! EVERYBODY'S GETTING A BIG EUROPEAN bang out of Stavros Niarchos published denial of rumors that he was about to marry Princess Maria Gabriella, daughter of ex-King Humbert of Italy.

The Greek shipping king should have let the rumors die a natural death, but you don't make the papers that way, do you? What makes the stories so preposterous is that the 29-year-old Italian princess has been going steadily with Robert de Balkany, the Romanian industrialist who lives and makes vast sums of money In France, for so long that half the international set thinks they're married. Stavros needn't have bothered with his announcement at all. But then maybe he's bored reading about Ari every day.
