! Once upon a time a girl could be
merely pretty and be belle. Now many
buds are realizing that to be inter
estlng goes as far as to be goOd-looking.
Three young women in official circles in
Washington have decided not to make
their bows this winter because they do
not feel up to the standard set for the
aspiring belle. Miss Helen Chaffee is
and music-and this after the Scards
for her coming OUT party on Thanks
giving day actually had been engraved.
The Russian ambassador will not let
his daughter, the Baroness Elizabeth
Won Rosen, be presented this winter be-
cause she speaks English badly. She
will have year with the best masters
before she attempts to vie with the
native girls. ~.... = s>s !. T.. !. 4 +

Arctic explorer who now is chief of the
signal corps, is to be one of the debu-
tantes of the early season. Three years
ago she was about to make her social
bow, but she decided at the last mo-
ment to take college course before
seeking social honors. She took her
degree last week at Wellesley and is
lifted to become a belle in the cosmo-
polltan society Of Washington. She
can speak five languages and is book
lsh enough to have aided in the prep
grafton OF her fathers memoirs. Miss

short of being bluestocking.

&c, to swell the receipts at bazaarssand
other entertainments for the needy. In

The army and navy opening night
will be particularly brilliant, as every
box in the house has been sold for
weeks, and large number Of patrons
have arranged for theater parties in the
body Of the house. The decorations will
be more elaborate than ever before,
