TWO FAIR DBBUTANTHS,
Miss Bed1e and Miss Watson
Make Their Entry Into
Society.
GUESTS AT THE TWO RECEPTIONS,
Gay Scenes at the Homes of the Ex-
Governor and the Eminent
Physician.

That long anticipated event, the coming
out RECEPTION of Miss Bedle. daughter OF
Ex-Governor Bedle, was heralded with
much joy by all prominent society people
last night who thronged the Bedle resi-
dence on Jersey avenue.
Soon after seven the guests began to
arrive, and by eight O'Clock the house was
filed. Within all was brightness and
gayety. The orchestra Of Ernest Meyer
hidden from view by a screen made OF
palms, ferns and roses, played excellently
during the evening
Everywhere were lovely decorations of
palms and ferns-the bright green pref
tily mingled with roses and chrysanthe-
NUNS. The balustrade in The spaciou
hall was bound with smilax and an I'M
mense pyramid of roses was banked upon
the newell. Mantels and fireplaces were
hidden behind roses, chrysanthemums,
and tall ferns were arranged about them.
At the upper end of the drawing room,
amid a bower of flowers, stood Mrs.
Bedle and Miss Bedle to receive their
guests. Ex-Governor Bedle stood by the
drawing room and received the guests as
they entered.
With Mrs. Bedle were Mrs. Dixon,
Mrs. j. d. Bedle, Jr., Mrs. Flavel McGee
and Miss Randolph. Assisting Miss
Bedle were a group of the prettlesG
young ladies which have ever graced
such an affair by their presence.
These were Miss Curtis of New York,
Miss Sinclair of New York, Miss Brinker,
hotf, Miss Tate, Miss Williams and Miss
Parmenter.
Mrs. Bedle wore rich gown designed
by Worth. 1t was a silver-grey satin,
which changed with every movement to
deep, lovely rose color; The trimmings
were rose brocade and silver and gold
lace.
Miss Bedle appeared in gown made
by Worth during her stay in Paris last
summer. 1t was simple gown of white
tulle with white satin bodice, richly
edged with lace.
The fan of white ostrich feathers was
also made for her while in Paris, and the
handkerchief of real Brussels point
which she carried was purchased by Miss
Bedle when travelling in Brussels. Miss
Bedle was a very sweet and pretty de-
butante. and has entered society, which
so cordially welcomed her last night,
with many bright prospects of being one
OF society's real ornaments.
