week. some going early for the de-

while others went up later for the
Army and Navy football game. Most
of those who went up early remained

With So many away. II seemed quite
remarkable that Washington was as
lively as II was. last week. There
were two big debutante affairs here

ed both of the balls and then hurried
back to New York. Society did a lot

The end of Thanksgiving week is
usually quiet in Washington because
so many go OF for the big game or
for house parties. But it is very sell
dom that Thanksgiving Day is not
very gay indeed and some debutante
invariably picks Thanksgiving to
make her bow to society. But not so
this year. Except for the reception
which the Secretsry-of State and Mrs.
Robert Lansing gave according to
their usual custom on Thanksgiving
to the Officials of the State Depart
ment and their wives, and for the
large dinner which Mrs. John B. Hen
derson gave in compliment to Baron
des Planches. every thing was quiet
excepting the ball of course.
Even the ball was not crowded.
Both balls. the one Wednesday for
the Episcopal Eye. Ear and THROAT
Hospital and the one Thursday for
the Navy Relief Society. were real
successes but neither was crowded.
Both of those balls are annual affairs
and are usually given on Thanksgiv-
ing Eve and Thanksgiving evening.
