After the brides. the next claimants for
social attentions in the way OF flowers and
good wishes will be the debutantes. Unless
signs count for nothing the number will
be unusually small this winter. for, up to
date. one hears very little said on the sub
ject. The list last season was 30 long that
1t might be limited that the market was
somewhat overstocked, only such a state
mant would be in the very worst possible
taste. But the buds this year will not suf-
fer from any such drawback, and the 5
O'Clock teas of the last month of the year,
at which these charming young travellers
for society's high road will make their
start, will BIZ sufficiently far apart to make
each a distinct occasion. The inroads made
by matrfmony among last years buds have
not left marked detection in their ranks;
but to tell how this may be remedied be-
fore the coming new girls are presented
would be betraying secrets.
Among this winters buds will be Miss
Marie McKenna. second daughter OF the
Attorney General; herMisses Bates, daugh-
tiers of Major Bate, Miss Cotton. daughter
of Col. and Mrs. Francis Cotton, and the
Misses Geneyiere and Winifred Mattingly.
