THE SOCIAL WORLD
Bright Prospects Of the Approaching
Gay Season.
THE WINTER GAR DEN OF BUDS
Some Are Rich but All Are Pretty
and Engaging.
ABOUT OTHER FOLKS

The buds for the coming winter are not
likely to be as numerous as last year. The
coming-out teas last December began the
first week of the winter and pleasantly
dotted the season clear through to it's
finish. There were between thirty and
forty debutantes, and it may be safely
said that nearly all tasted the joys of
belleship in their own particular circles
Epidemics of this order rarely run through
another season, but the prospects are that
the coming winter will make almost as
unsatisfactory record to the older girls.
who were unanimous in their opinion last
year that the dcbutante business was
largely ovsrdoEe. It Is positively cruel to
let these little thorns in their rosy paths
appear at this juncture, but the buds may
as well understand first as last that they
are entering garden so well stocked al
ready with full blown roses that it will
take supereminent advantages in the way
of money, manners and wonanly charms
for newcomer to make impression.
Any list at this writing is likely to be a
dozen names too short, for announcing
girls debut is something very many moth
ers prefer to keep profound secret until
the suspicious date arrives.
There are some beautiful girls in the
number and some very wealthy ones. 1t
may be safer, and certainly is more prac-
teal statement, only to mention the latter.
This part of the list includes Miss Natalie
Barney, whose parents enjoy separate in
comes who live like princes and are devot-
ed to society and the arts; Miss Newlands,
who will inherit fair part of the Sharon
millions, some of which are invested in the
picturesque Chevy Chase property; Miss
Warder, second daughter of Mrs. B. II.
Warder, of whose wealth thera is ample
evidence In this city alone, and Miss Jane
Fuller, youngest daughter of the chief JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court.
Iv, fhA 81
beautiful daughters of the Vice President.
Miss Letitia and Miss Julia Stevenson. and
Miss Wilson, the eldest daughter of the
Postmaster General. Miss Wilson is most
been a labor of love on the part of her
parents. Mrs. Wilson's health, which Is
far from robust. will scarcely permit her
to take much part in extended social at
way strong help. Among the court fam
lilies, Miss Jane Fuller is probably the only
debutante. She is as brimful of talent as
her older sisters, and Is fond of society.
Most Of her friends. too. have been her
companions since the family came here to
live, and with them, as with all the older
acquaintances of the family, she is a great
faVorire: Miss Margaret Cana, daughter
of the Chilean minister, will be among the
few buds in the diplomatic circle. Miss
Cana Is a handsome girl, and her blonde
beauty makes her wonderful contrast
to her mother, who is a superb type Of the
Castilian beauty. Miss Cana has lived
less in Chile than anywhere else She
speaks not only Spanish and English, but
German and other languages, and has a
musical talent which has been we'll cult
waited. The Ganas have taken a mouse on
X street. which will figure prominently as
their home always does, in the list of win
ter entertaining centers.
Miss Mattingly, second daughter of Mr..
ara Mrs Mattingly, who is just back with
the family from Europe; Miss Sewers her
cousin, daughter of DIR. and Mrs Sewers,
who has also enjoyed recent European
tour as finishing touch; Miss Dorothy
Rockhill, daughter Of the assistant secre-
tary of state; Miss Ashton, laughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hubley Ashton; Miss Dodge,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Dodge
are others in the list.
Miss Barney was presented to society the
past summer at Bar Harbor where so
many prominent in home society were
staying. She is fne-looking girl, and
with parents devoted to hospitality and the
enjoyment of the good things of life, enters
the social arena well fortified. No end of
superb entertainments will mark her debut
here.
