gesticn of brightness, beauty
and happiness, formed the mo-
tif for the elaborate debut party at
which Miss Adgate Ellis was intro
duced on Tuesday. Mrs. William d.
Ellis, Jr., gave a large afternoon re-
oeption at the Piedmont Driving Club
for her daughter, which was followed
by a dinner dance for the unmarried
set, and in both affairs elaborate dec
orative details were used.
From the glittering gold butterfly
which topped the yellow Paradise
worn in her hair by the debutante, to
The gold butterflies which were poised
upon the glasses at the debutante's
table, the butterfly idea was intro
duced in every possible way. For the
dinner dance, the special friends of
he honor guest were seated in gold
chairs at a large round table, placed
n the main dining room of the club.
A plateau Of gorgeous yellow chrys-
snthemums formed the centerpiece,
and butterfly bows Of tulle were
caught amid the flowers, with gold
butterflies.
The places of the girls were marked
by large butterflies of white lace,
with tulle steamers ending in clus-
lers of tiny pink rosebuds, which
were pinned to the shoulders of the
guests with beautiful pins, having
heads formed of lace and tiny pink
rosebuds. Three baskets of yellow
chrysanthemums were also on the ia
ole, smaller baskets adjoining each
table in the room.
An exquisite novelty introduced at
his affair were the bouquets which
marked each girls place, formed en-
rirely of crystallized vtolets, and
vari -colored candies, each perfect
representation of a flower, arranged
In lace paper holders and tied with
