us into the dining room and it was a
 perfect surprise, for we thought we were just there on business, and she served the most exquisite plate luncheon. So, of course, that was the crowning event of
 the day
 I spent the afternoon at the movies,
 but was bored to death, wanting some
 thing-I knew not what l didn't see soul downtown, so I left the others and
 came along home for wee rest before
 dinner and even dad couldn't cheer me
 up. Sari was awfully bright and attrac-
 tive. and I laughed all the way through
 and chattered and was awfully gay. but
 was glad when it was over, and I just
 kind of fiopped when I reached home.
 suppose I must just be tired. Friday-I almost decided last night
 when I lay thinking before I went to
 sleep that wasn't debutante at heart
 any more, that I was so grown-up that couldn't ever enjoy anything. But to- day have changed my point of view, for my heart was just as light and my
 mind just as frothy as ever at Mrs Bowie's luncheon. Of course, resting till
 noon made all the difference In the world
 and then this was a gorgeously spring like day. It just seemed to dare anyone to feel do1eful. Mrs Bowie's parties are always so fas-
 cinating, and this one, a progressive luncheon, was particularly so Polly Williams and Elizabeth Locke were the
 guests of honor and they sat In chairs of state, all tied with beautiful clouds of tulle. and then we took turns talking to them, progressing after every course A perfect garden of flowers adorned the house and the girls were so good look ing in their new bonnets. This was the last party to be given for Polly and it just grieves me to death to think that
 she is going away Sunday. It doesn't
 seem right at all for her to leave, for we have grown so used to having her around. I don't believe there ever was visitor so adorable as she, and every one has simply fallen in love with her. suppose that tomorrow night at the club is the last time I shall see her and that will make me terribly unhappy. I met Bunl1ie downtown late this aft- ernoon and had all the joy in my hear. that I lacked yesterday. He just has
 way of making you forget everything
 except being happy. We saw Alice Jones, and she was lovely thing, all wrapped
 up and radiant She is having just load1 of beautiful parties given for her and though her wedding will be very qu1ee I know it will be beautiful. Roberta Lamb is another bride who is being deliberately entertained. There has been something given almost every day, and lots more planned. Then l hear that
 Kathleen Hayes has 23 parties planned for her. Her wedding is to be a big one, with lots of pretty girls.
 Tonight I am having my weekly rest, for mother has convinced me that can't
 keep young and gadabout every night in the week, without any refreshing slum , ber Most of the time I just lie down in front of the fire and let my mind
 wander to all sorts of happy musings, and plan all sorts of wonderful events
 So that's what I am going to do now, till I get all sleepy and tired.
 Saturday-Josephine Shields is a fasci- hating creature and she wears awfully
 smart clothes, so I suppose she will be just as riotiously popular during her stay as was Polly. I met her today for the first time at Florence Coffin's luncheon at the Southern club. We had a beau teous table, all centered with roses and lavendar sweetpeas that would remind one of Florence, so delicately were they colored and there were numbers of other
 parties but not any quite so pretty. Most of the debbies were there. all of them in gayest of moods, and I had q
 most happy time.
 Some of us went down to the matinee
 at the Lyric and enjoyed a bit of fun
 there and then were hurried home for q little rest before dressing. I am er'-g to have a wonderful time at the club
 tonight just feel it-but here's hoping. Till then--good-by. Perhaps I will have more to tell another day.
