was held on the night of .tnnunry 7, ns
the timo-honored custom Is to havo tho
first ono on the first Friday In the year
nnd the second tho last Friday before
Lent. I . , .
Tho guests arc always requested not
to nrrlvo too late, ns tho patronesses
tnlto their places at 10:30 o'clock, and
It must be a terrific ordeal to stand for
moro than two hours courtroylnR and
bowing to each guest In ft long, con
tinuous line, but It Is such a pretty,
stately custom I am always glad to
seo It Is kept up from year to year.
Thoro will b- an iinusuat number of
c".nnera before tonight's ball. Lowber
Stokes will entertain for his brother
and new slstcr-ln-law, Sir. nnd Mrs.

debutante1? engaged this yenr, nnd has
had no end of entertaining. Tho Wll
kins Carrs will glvo a dinner for Helono
Martin, nnd among their guests will bo

Kato Furness, Morris Gates, Percy Tay
lor, Lewis Parsons, Jack Slnkler, Lieu

Langdon Elwyn, Dr. and Mrs. Albert
Franclnc, Dr. and Mrs. John Gibbon,
Mr. nnd Mrs. Chnrlcmngno Tower for
Helen nnd Gertrude, Mr. and Mrs. Wal
ter Waring Ilopklnson, Mr. and Mrs.
George Qulntnrd Horwltz and Mr. and
Mis. Edgar Howard.
Wo surely ought to bo used to theso
things, nnd yet wo nro not, nnd when
one sees a dainty llttlo debutante of
unquestionable birth light her clgaretto I
la tho palm room of a hotel and puff
gaily whllo talking to her friends, It Is
a sort of shock, and that Is Just what
I did see. I nm wondering how many
others saw her after I left and
If any ono will communicate tho news
to her mother, who would, from all I
know, bo quite horrified, for only two
days after seeing tho small girl smok
ing1 away with a decided easo borne of
custom. I hcqrd Mamma say at a
luncheon, "Well, I am glad to say that
Is ono thing my daughter never does. I
simply will not allow It." It Is a droll
thing how often families aro tho last
ones to know what deeds tho members
thereof sometimes perpcttato on tho
unsuspecting elders.
I wonder why It Is they do not an
nounce their engagement, for It really
Is one, you know. Sho Is u dear girl,
with a decided amount of character, and
Is very coy with her great tall young
lover, whoso expression of devotion is
qulto killing at times. I noticed them
dancing together recently, and It was
good to seo tho way ho gazed down on
her bright browri-hairod llttlo head as
they tripped tho light fantastic. Here's
hoping they will continue to trip It
happily for tho rest of their lives. She
la only a deb, and lie is very young
yet. So thero Is no hurry to tell of It.
However, I think wo will hear It soon,
because tho boys In that family seem to
take to early engagements as ducks to
water. NANCY WYNNE.
