The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-02

i terday, and I think she feels quite 1 superior because she was the only de- 1 butante honored. And well she may, for 1 from what 1 hear it was the very jol- i Hest, happieSt party ever given. All of the boys were there-from Bob down | to Percy-and each one had asked ] girl to share the occasion, and Mildred
 had asked two boys, for she is especial | ly privileged. There were Mary Nun | ger, Beverly Leake, Jennie Hammond l Copeland, Jane Barrett, Alice Bowie and Margaret Nelson-an entirely con genial group, notwithstanding the fact | that they vary greatly in age and | sophistication. I think the Tutwiler
 must have felt extremely honored to 1 have them there.
 All would be well in this life Of mine if so many hours weren't wasted | in resting. Mother says they are not
 wasted, but l can hardly find time for shopping and movies, after sleeping Itill noon, and resting in the afternoon. 1 But 1 am quite content to do that now,
 1 for I want to look my best for Leonora Hassingers debut party tonight l know it will be wonderful.
 | Wednesday-It was just like the Christ
 mas that you dream about-all holly ana
 mstletoe and crimson roses and greens l and Leonora like the real Christmas l fairy I had wondered why MT. and Mrs
 1 Hassinger had waited until Christmas 1 to introduce Leonora, but now under stand, for at no other season in the year 1 could they have attained the glowing effect that the Country club presented 1 last night when the guests gathered. In l spite of all that pouring rain and storm l there were more than 200 of them, and all attired as for a presentation at court: Mrs. Hassinger was charmingly youth ful in her white lace costume, and Leo nora was just adorable all in white tulle and silver lace and lilies of the valley Some of us were invited to receive with them and then we gathered about the most gorgeous table for supper-gold trel- lises and red rosebuds and tulle, with a
 corsage of the beautiful blossoms for each of us. All of the other guests enjoyed an elaborate buffet supper, but not be- ing debutantes, they were not entitled to roses.
 Orline Bainetts party yesterday was one of the prettiest yet. It was a tea for Georgiana Drummond, who is that lovely Los Angeles girl who is visiting Margaret Moore and Gladys Allison's guest, Anne Kilby of Anniston, who is so charmingly attractive. There was plenty of holly and mistletoe, so we wouldn't forget that it was holiday time and really an amazing array of smart costumes. Birmingham should be better known for. her chic girls and matrons-for they are here all right. There were loads and loads of "eats," the daintiest salads and sandwiches, With tea, poured by two in- tel esting girls who have just recently gone forth on the great adventure. They say that marriage is the next great event after debut you know, but then that is very remote for me
 I have just come from the club where Mrs. Elias Davis gave the most exquisite luncheon in honor of the debutantes. The table was a perfect symphony in pink and ! and tiny bouquets of parma violets at each place emphasizing the motif. Pink shaded candles cast an interesting glow over the table and lavender tulle gave just cloudy touch of unreality that was entrancing. All of the buds were there,
