on the capitals social drama. NJ. Jusse-

The British ambassador and Mrs.

trip to Australia, and where every OPP
pOrtunity which the former had time
to give from his study of political and

Lieut.. Col Moreton F. Gage, military

The German ambassador and the

Pleasant conjecture is rife as to the
social qualities which the successor TO
the retiring Austrian ambassador, the
newly nominated Konstantin Theodor
Dumba. at present minister to Sweden,
will show. He is described as fifty-four
years old. diplomat of wide experience
and wealthy, having inherited the prop
erty of his uncle, who was a Vienna
banker, ph1lanthrOpist and art patron

Dumba was popular" which naturally,

The list does not seem to be q very
long one, quite the contrary. although
with the late October returns another
story may be much truer. The three
about whom there is no doubt seemingly
are Miss Gladys Mum, just back from an
almost round-the- world journey with her
mother, whose home on Scott Circle has
been closed s.nce the last wedding In the
family; Miss Margaret Perrin. who was
presented at the British court last spring
while away with her mother. Mrs. George
Howard, and Miss Frances Williams,
younges. daughter of Col. and Mrs. John
r. Williams. who is still on the other
side of the big pond, where she accom-
panied her mother and sister, Miss Viii
li2ms, in the early summer. NJ IS Jouett
Fall. daughter Of the New Mexico sena-
tor. is another candidate for debutante
hOnors.
The daughter of the Speaker Miss Cen
evieye Clark, had quite a taste of social
life last year. and whether or not 1t will
be more society for her or back to the
schoolroom is as yet not known by their
friends here. Everywhere else debutante
gayeties are beginning to whirl. Two
hundred guests danced with Miss Hazel
Treat at her debut ball in Providence

q big tent. and the buds wore robins egg
blue chiffon over white. That may help
set the style for others.

present consequently proud mothers are
