December.
Society's mind is about equally divided
between the pending changes in official
life, the big hGuquet Of buds to bloom
this season, and recent additions to the
diplomatic corps.
The subject of buds i S the important one
now in the mind of society, and whether
society is going to know what 10 do with
them all is Of interest. There are thirty
debutanteS at least. 1t is good. on the
whole, that the number is large. The last
year Of an administration is likely to be
a duh one in social way. but this season
will not be so If the mothers and friends
OF the buds can help 1t.
1t Is surely an interesting group, the
young girls to be introduced this winter,
, among whom will be the granddaughter Of
one general and President, the daughters
or another honored general, the daughter
of the Postmaster General and the daugh-
| ter OF the Chilean minister
Mrs. Grant viii give a large reception
| TO introduce her granddaughter, Miss
Vivien Sartoris, into society on Wednesday
| afternoon, December 8. The debutantc
is just seventeen, the youngest of the buds.
She has the wonderful dark eyes OF her
mother, hair that is dark in some lights
and almost golden In others, and when
| she speaks one finds that she has inherited
another OF her mothers charms, who
speaks with the sweetest voice in Wash
ington.
Miss Mary Wilson, daughter Of the Post
master General and Mrs. Wilson, went
about littlein quiet wa ylastwinter, but
her formal debut will not take place until
the last of December or the first week in
January. She is one of the mostunaffected
and unspoiled young girls in Washington.
