Some Debntante Frocks

A NINA LEWIS is the debutante who
"A will be introduced this afternoon at
Awbury, which you know is sort of
settlement of Copes and Bmlens. Aw-
bury is beautiful estate at Washing
ton lane station, Germantown. AS
the different members of the proprietary
families marry they build house on
the property, thus keeping up regular
family settlement.
A portion of that property has been
given by the united families to the city
and a very interesting srboretum is the
result. Mrs. William Draper Lewis,
the mother of Anna, was Miss Caro-
line Cope, you know. / expect to meet
great many out at Awbury today,
it's such a charming place to go.
Among the debs who will receive with
. Anna are Mary and Fanny Wister,
Caroline Barclay, Lorraine Disston,
Lucy Grey, Patty and Juliana Baker,
Margaret Graham, Hope Wilson, Ma
rian Baird, Dorothy Ely, Margaret
Dallett, Margaret Ross. Anna +. Cope,
her cousin, and Helen Harte.
TNHE girls do look so sweet in their
l. pretty dresses at the teas. They
have reverted to the more modest in
frocks, it seems to me. l have noticed
at many of the teas that all the frocks
have sleeves, that the bodices are not
so low, nor are the skirts too short.
1 saw Mary Goodman one day re-
Gently and she looked charming in a
brown chiffon, tulle and gold thread
frock. 1t had rather a long wasted
bodice of gold and brown, cut with n
rather high V, and the skirt was filmy
and lovely, rer sleeves we're of tulle.

she was very sweet, indeed.
NELESTINE wARDER hasa pretty
~ frock of turquoise blue satin and
white tulle and lace. 1t is awfully
becoming to her. Celestine is not very
dark, nor is she fair; she has brown
hair and just the right coloring for that
shade of blue. She has pretty man
ner and wears her clothes with a. de-
cided air.
T AM interested to hear Mrs, Rodgers
