the new Congress. Mona McAdoo will make
her debut in Washington at any rate. Do
you know whether she made it in New York:
| never heard.
Z
Frances Traver, VINO spent last year
abroad being finished" will undoubtedly
make her debut in the new house her parents
are about to open at Connecticut avenue and
Q street, and another Paris-fnished bud will
be Elaine Denegre. was told that Elaine
will make debut first in St. Louis Mo-. and
then come to Washington. The Denegres
are now in Boston, think, spending some
time en- route to ST. Louis from the North
Shore.
| thought that Beatrice Clover would be
a debutante surely this season, but some
one was telling me that her little cousin told
them that the Clovers were going to stay
abroad and spend the winter in Egypt.
1t is too bad that Mrs. Clarence Moore
has decided to 60 abroad this winter was
hoping that Frances Moore would be pre-
,sented. Another prospective, but one that
won't blossom this season, is pretty little
Olive Willis, whose parents have decided to
spend the winter in Texas. Helen Heyl, the /,
Younger daughter of COL Charles A. Heyl,
too, has decided not to be presented this
season. That is too bad, for she is so pretty
and attractive and sure to be success.
I'm told, however, that Miss Elizabeth

from year spent in Japan and the East and
will bring out her niece, Gladys Kibbey.
Sir Horace Plunkett came over to Amer
ica to take the cure at Battle Creek, Mich
which fact of course, does not sound at all
romantic, but there is pretty romance in
the fact that he brought over with him Lional
Smith Gordon, the fance of Miss Nellie
Fletcher, daughter of the Senator from Flor
ida and Mrs. Duncan u. Fletcher. The we'd
ding day has been set for December /, and
will be solemnized in All Souls Unitarian
Church, in the afternoon. The Rev. DR.. U.
G. B. Pierce, pastor of the church, and who
was the pastor all during the Administration
of former President Taft, will oficiate. Mrs.
Thomas ]. Kemp, the sister of Miss Fletcher,
will be matron of honor, and the best man is
one of the English friends of the bridegroom,
who makes his home in Canada. Miss
Fletcher is charmed with the idea of her new
home over the water, and will take with her
many valuable gifts from her fathers col
leagues in the Senate and other branches OF
official life. She was to have had noon
wedding, but the meeting of Congress at noon
made it necessary to fix the hour later in the
afternoon.
1t is said that the President and Mrs.
Wilson and some of the Cabinet folk may
20 over to New York for the opening of
the horse show 1t is quite certain that the
Russian Ambassador and Madame Bakh-
meteff will be there, for their interest in
horsehesh is something marvellous. The Ned
McLeans will go to New York, and Mrs
Thomas F. Walsh will, it is said, attend.

ticed that the house is being opened, and
from the spick and span appearance 1t has
taken on, I'm led to believe that Mrs. Draper
and Margaret are due very shortly. hope
Mrs. Draper remains in Washington this sea

season before, you remember, she was in
mourning, so Warrington has not had her for
really two years

Dorothys grandmother was taken desperate

would happen any time, so they had the we'd
ding at the house, instead of the church, on
Tuesday afternoon, with just the members CT

bride wore her wedding gown, which was so
pretty, made of satin with handsome lace,
and her veil was arranged in cap with
orange blossoms, and she wore some pearls
that are heirlooms, and carried shower Cf

rather unusual gowns that were original and
