The blue room party was small one.
In it were Miss Helen Cannon, the

cabinet homes and some few others.
Everybody in the room stood out as
prominently those in the receiving

the public reception began. Colonel

Knox, whose withdrawal from the So

The diplomatic reception was the

military and court uniforms showed a
splendid dash of glitter and color. The

In the local set there is at least one
beautiful brunette who realizes the

that is Miss Mary Keeney. She wears
the most delightful combinations of the
color in pale yellow and frequently
wears golden slippers to complete the
effect. The rich material is gaining
favor however, more and more, so that
the attractive young girl who has been
the chief exponent of that color may
not have a monopoly much longer.

probably a score of frocks that showed
this Partisan touch of distinction. In
truth, fur is creeping into many of our
evening schemes and, although Paris

of America have been deliberate in
their acceptance of this lovely fashion.
