Rare old point lace. antique jewelry
and other heirlooms have had premi-
nent place in the
Uld.Ilme Jewels toilets of many of
xnAn the debutantes this
~'~oe"' Aoe'S' winter, perhaps be-
cause so many of them are from
southern families, who lay great store
by such things. Miss Margaret Glenn
ents, who made her debut Tuesday,
wore a strikingly up-to-date gown of
turquoise satine of the softest kind,
with ruffles and a basque effect, with
sleeves of tulle, and aside from the
pendant of blue stones to exactly
match the color of her gown, she wore
no jewels. The hardening back to the
past was in the exquisite cloth on the
tea table, made by Mrs. Clements
mother. the late Mrs. Dulaney OF
Peewee Valley, KY, many years ago,
and spoke well for the deft fingers Of
the old school gentlewoman. There
was the cloth with draWnwork and
fine knitted lace and a centerpiece of
similar work. Mrs. Dulaney spent much
time upon work of this kind in the
late years of her life and fashioned a
like set for each of her daughters.
Miss Mary Lord Andrews had an
intense desire to wear as part of her
toilet at her coming-out party her
great-grandmothers pearl pendant
earrings, but modern jewellers could
not readily adapt them to modern fast
eHings, and she was denied the pleas
ure. Mrs. Andrews, however, wore
several of the precious old heirlooms
which adorned the grandmothers Of her
family in generations past
