 'ssau.- used to do, when I was beyond speech, away at school, just nothing. For there is nothing to say. It is an honor-I am honored to belong to set of debutantes which includes 8 brain like Leonora Has singers. In the first place the party was for Polly, and Polly is enough to inspire ar yone to the heights of achievement, but didn't dream that Jig had it in her. She couldn't have accomplished it all by herself-that studio, for it was a thing of beauty and a joy forever, and l know of at least five adniring swains who ham mered their thumbs and fell off of ladders to get those gorgeous tapestries into place. Most of them were lawyers, as anyone might guess, for lawyers are the only people in the world who have time to drop the cares of the day, at will and do the bidding of femininity, no matter how charming. Now there was R, but it wouldn't be fair to mention one name without them all, and each one must have been extremely glad to say this is my career" for they achieved wonders.
 Of course, Leonora wouldn't pretend that her studio-and Miss Mosely's--is al- ways such a gorgeous place, but today it was quite perfect. Personally, I think that the window was the biggest suc- cess, for 1t had the couch, and the pea cock vase and the black cat to set it off, but others were just as charming.
 There were the napkins, too, the most impossible colors all fixed up out of silk, and the flowers, and then right in the midst of the party the most wonder ful plaque of daffodls and hyacinths and lilies of the valley was brought in from a friend. That wasn't bit futuristic Qs that what you sayD, but altogether beau- L.. T r1o 0p 1,1 in the studio Jig was awfully Bohem- isn-like in her lavender smock, and she looked as if she might have just stopped painting for a moment to receive us. But after one glance at the studio we just for got everything except having good time and 1 never hope to get as much pure joy out of anything else. Between bites of caviar sandwiches and sips of choco- late and revels in welsh rarebit-just to show you that I know it isn't rabbit--we just stood pop-eyed and watched the for teller.
 The fortune-teller was Jig's greatest in- spiratio If she never thinks another thought, I shall look with awe for the rest of my life and venerate her brain. Right now l would qualify for an infor- nation bureau--I know so much about folks.
 Now there is Amelie Hill--how in the world would anyone in the world have known that she was to be married with in year if her fortune hadn't been hid den in her hand? She is going on long, long trip, and upon this she will meet her fate, and then presto! this pretty red haired girl from Montgomery will be a bride The fates have decreed it.
 Martha Latady is going to be married twice-thats what was told-and it will be seven years before the first Any way, she has something to look forward to, and that is more than I can say for myself But Augusta Clark-who would have dreamed? but we might have known anyway she's going to marry an army man and live around in spots. But that s not until she is A years old, and this one might not-but anyone who had an army man in her train would like to show him off, I should think.
 Now, whenever Helen Eubank ap- proaches shall hear the strains of wed- ding music growing clearer and clearer and more distinct. According to her for tune, she shows marked fondness for the law and has more men on her string or at her feet perhaps, should say, than any of us poor debbies. And then-I am saving the most important news till last she Is going to be married within year. That's quite true, I'm sure, but I feel sorry for the rest of 'em. However, every body will have an equal chance till it's annUunC6u. AuOlHeI lulllS Luct WAS Secll in Helen's hand was music-she is musi- cal to her fingertips, and according to the fortune teller, she should take up the study of voice. I have never heard Helen sing-and I wonder
 She didn't tell us anything about Polly that we didn't already know, for anyone that is as sweet and genuine as she, could not act from anything but intui- tion and that is what her hand said -1x- s- .oI, sV,kyy ton, and that when she acted from intui- tion, she always did the right thing. Then she loves to talk in a crowd. think it's wonderful gift to be able to, but I never suspected it.
 Dorothy Davis is going to give her dog away, think-at least 1 should, for with the fates saying that must be very, very careful, I would hate to have anything so dangerous as dog around. But perhaps men are more dangerous than dogs, and maybe it would be better if Dorothy were not so popular Anyway, I hope she will be careful, for would hate to lose her.
 l was disappointed in Margaret Moore's s fortune. All she was told was that she was to be a great social success, and she's that already. And there was some- thing about getting married, I don't re- member whether she is or isn't, I'll have to ask her.
 Josephine Johnson looked too pretty for words today, and she had the most thrill ing thing told her-that everything she did was a step forward. Think of know ing that at least you will get somewhere! That's more than I can say for myself
 I think Beth Wyman is more excited than anybody, for she is to take two long trips. The first will influence the second and that means that the last will mean a honeymoon. Then she was told such funny thing, We just had to
