Bee Bureau,
Washington, Dec. Is.


The Advent season has a new
phase in the atmosphere of Wash.
ington society. The debutante and
her circle is holding the center OF
the stage and shows no signs of re-
linquishing it until quite well into
the new year.
Washington before the war was
strictly official in its social atmos-
phere by the end of December, and
The outlook is not strong for off.
cial affairs monopolizing society at
any time this season. 1t is a new
order Of things all the way around.
And resident society will come into
its own.
What with social functions off the
White House calendar; some Of the
cabinet hostesses abandoning their
days at home" and other cabinet
hostesses emitting the returning of
calls made upon them on their re-
ceiving days, there must necessar-
lily be 4 change of social atmos-
phere.
Mrs. Marshall, wife OF the vice
president, is doing her best (and her
best is very good to fill the gap
She is receiving on Wednes day al
ternoon right along, except when
she is i'll or absent, but so far there
has been no schedule of official din.
ncr parties, except for small affairs
where there are two to six guests
usually preceding a theater party or
a~beneht ball or fete. Of "fetes" we
are having plenty. First, there
was the Italian fete of Thursday,
for the benht Of Free Milk for Ital-
ian babies, now that French babies
have had free milk for several years.
A reproduction of street scenes in
Italy, as we imagined they were be-
fore the war was given by debu-
tantes and young and old married
people. There were organ grinders
with monkeys; fruits and nut vend-
ors; hokey-pokey carts. street dane
ers and Ministries, male and female;
tea gardens, milk booths and every
thing in costume, SO far as it was
possible, the whole beginning in the
carly afternoon and ending with 4
ball which reached far into the early
morning.
Then there is the Vanity Fair ball
and bazar for next Friday, for the
benefit of two local charities, a pic
turesque pageant of fashions. an
Gent and modern, and a serie. Of
booths representing different coun-
tries, where one may be served the
particular Wand beverage that coun-
try is famous for.
The serving maids will all wear
native costumes and will make pic
turesque scene on the ball room
floor later, when the dance begins.
Maids. matrons and beaux will ap-
pear in tableaux wearing the cos
tunes Of the different eras OF his
tory OF the United States and all
of this years buds will appear IN
these.
Christmas Plans.
Plans are being formulated for
Christmas. The president and Mrs.
Wilson hope to have real Yuletlde
celebration with a reunion OF his
children and his young grandchl.-
dren. There are three little Sayres,
one Of whom has never made visit
to the White House, and there IS
but one McAdoo, Ellen, who is a
veritable little romp. The Sayre
children are very serious youngsters.

brought up in the old-fashioned

told no lies about Santa Claus and
take little stock in fairy tales.
The vice president and Mrs. Mar

dianapolis for the holidays, the first
visit they have made there since last
spring. Their last start there was
but a start, for they had to run back
to receive the king and queen of the
Belgians and act as hosts to them,
owing to the illness of the presi-
dent.
The Congressional club held 4
really brilliant reception last Friday
afternoon in the snug and attractive
little club house. 1t was the first
junction Of this season and the
guests OF honor were the wives of
the new members of congress, both
senators and representatives. Most
Of these women became new men,
bers of the club and now the wives
of the members of the Nebraska
delegation in congress are repre-
scented in the membership of the
club, the wives of the new members
being initiated on that occasion.
Mrs. Marshall. wife of the vice
president: Mrs. Lansing, Mrs.
Palmer, Mrs. Carter Glass, Mrs.
Daniels. Mrs. Houston and Miss
Agnes Wilson, were all there, rep

as the wife of the secretary of COM

Crisp Days
By ANNETTE WYNN

When days are crisp and bright
And fakes are downward hurled
0, to wake up in the light
And find a white, white world
Q, to look out all around
On fence, and bush, and hill,
And see the snow piled on the
ground ~.
And on the window sill!
It's hard to sit in school ali day
And work and study hard,
'Twould be such fun to 60 and play
At soldiers in the yard.
And build fort just like the one
The picture has with flag unfurIed
The summers good, but. o, the fun
To have a white, white world!

Wider skirts for fall dresses is the
unanimous verdict of creators OF
fashions, who are now busy sketch
ing, planning and producing clothes
for the next seasons wardrobe. The
skirt width changes from season 10
season, the pendulum swinging back
ward and forward, with the single
and emphatic exception Of the sepa-
rate skirt, popularity known as the
sport skirt.
1t is made this season as wide or
narrow as the leg stride of the wearer
demands, and during the long years
of it's reign, twelve or fifteen at least,
the separate skirt always has adapted
itself to the cause Of freedom in walk
ing rather than to "hobble" widths
and other uncomfortable Whfms OF
fashion. The wider dress skirt un-
doubtedly will be greeted with in
terest, but will probably have as little
effect on the separate skirt as such
changes have had in the past. The
sport skirt, to be such, must De Oh
comfortable width.
The full width box-plaited skirt in
crepe de chine, georgette crepe or
sturdy wooIlen 'plaids' compete Tor
summer favor with the straight, slen-
der model in sport satin lavishly en-
broidered, braid trimmed, or hnished
with a printed design.
The woman who is addicted to the
separate skirt and blouse for motor
wear. tennis. golf and tramping may
! therefore have as varied an array as
her heart desires. Every imaginable
| silk fabric has been utilized and COM
! binations of fabrics have been sue
cessfulIy rcsorted TO to produce novel
! ties.
Perhaps ficsh-colnred georgette
crepe with a knee deep band of eyelet
work and embroidery hung from
| pointed yoke of baronette satin does
| not suggest itself as a model to take
on a hazardous motor trip or TO use
on a long days tramp, but neverthe-
| less it is offered by the best shops as
| fitting for the sport wardrobe. Many
| georgette skirts. are finished with gay
| colored wool embroidery.
Tricolette and barOnette satin pre-
sent a moro practical fabric combina-
! ton and is. in fact, a commendable
| step toward a semi-dressy skirt.
Brilliant embroidery as adornment
has come much to the fore this sea-
son. The straight skirt, that is To
say when neither side is pIeated nor
box pleated, has a band OF embroidery
in self or contrasting color, that may
be only as deep as the hem. or as
| high as the knee. or frequently Is
embroidered 10 within. an inch OF the
