Miss De Peyster, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frederick De Peyster was introduce
ed last week, and wore a wonderfully soft
and becoming dress of accordion-plaited
crepe de Chine and lace. Miss Harriet
Delatield, whose tea was also one of the
events of the week, wore white silk and
chiffon very simply made and enhanced
by a huge bouquet of pink roses.
To the debutante the bouquet ques-
ton is of vastly more Importance than
the dress. In olden days when the
flowers that banked the parlor were sent
by young men anxious to be membered
in future entertaining, the number of a

young men have become shockingly me-

parents and on rich and generous rela-

self.

A white cloth dress worn by Mrs. ]
George Gould at an afternoon reception
at Lakewood has the much-talked-of
''bonne femme" skirt very tight around
the hips, very long, very wide at the bot
and plated all around. Between the
plaits are inserts of sable-mere threads
Of fur running up and down. The COR
is a bolero of white cloth With large

Of white panne with at the throat a huge
lace scarf. The accompanying hat is a
