 The Christmas cotillon last evening at
 the Country club was one of the notable affairs of the winter and MT. and Mrs.
 Lawson Whitfield Collier and her father,
 Maj. George Lewis Gillespie, who were
 hosts, had the distinction of opening the
 holiday series of club dances. They will
 be continued in almost nightly success sion until the coming of the New Year.
 Mrs. Collier is an accomplished hostess and her tact and artistic taste stood her in hand when she prepared this pretty in- troduction for her debutante house guest, Miss Dorothy Robbins. MT. Collier and Major Gillespie, a charming gentleman and one typical of the old school, assisted
 her ably in the role of host, their cor diality and graciousness being notable factors in the success of the evening. Miss Robbins as a visiting girl is a notable success and one whose pleasure during her stay is assured by her delight ful personality.
 Assisting the hosts were several girls in the debutante coterie. Among them were Miss Elizabeth Going, Miss Elizabeth
 Morris, Miss Clara Shelby, Miss Gladys Ensleh. Miss Helen Eustis, Miss Kathleen vanHoose.
 The club was typical of Christmas with it's crimson and green decorations. Poin-
 settia and holly showed brightly against
 green background and twining the were smilax intermingled with branches of mistletoe In the broad fireplace or the cheery living room, and in the ball
 room as well, burned fire which hinted at the pretty sentiments which cling about the Yule log of the Christmas tide. Palms and ferns were banked in the all cove, where the orchestra sat, and added
 a finishing touch to the festive decora- ton.
 A cotilon of many graceful figures was danced and In the multi-colored lights of the ball room the participants presented
 scene of marked picturesqueness. There were two favor tables which, with the
 Christmas souvenirs of bright flowers and
 tinsel toys, shone brightly in the lights from the living room chandeliers. In the center of the dining room stood bon
 bon table decorated with poinsettia and crimson carnations. The coffee room aiso followed the holiday colors scheme and
 the buffet supper which was served late had a dainty touch of color on each of
 the plates.
