She Attended the affair at the French Var
Relief for Mrs. Rodgers Yesterday

nEBORAH LOGAN will be intro
- duced this afternoon and, thank
goodness, the tea is In town. Of course,
these days it's lovely out in the country,
but it does take time to go day after
day, and it will be so nice just to stop
in at the Bellevue, don't you think?
/ think Deborah looks like her mother
and her grandmother, Mrs. Samuel
Price Wetherill though she is taller
than her mother Mrs. Logan was
Sarah Wetherill, YOU know, and is a
sister of Mrs. Yorke Stevenson, Mrs.
Shillard Smith and Mrs. Sam Hender-
son. Deborah has soft, light brown
hair, which she wears turned back
from her forehead lin very becoming
way. She has very sweet manner.
/ have noticed her at several of the teas
and have been charmed with her polite
ness to older people.
! must say most of the debutantes
have very good manners this season, but
Deborah is especially sweet to older
people.
There arc to be nll sorts of parties
for her, given by her grandparents and
aunts, and she is very popular anyhow,
SO you know she's having mighty good
time.
TNHE very latest wrinkle in clothes is
L to have your topcoat lined with
crepe de chine or silk like that of WHICH
your gown is made. And that's some
sentence, believe l. It's awfully smart,
though. | saw Mrs. Kearsley Mitchell,
Fanny Stotesbury that was, on Monday
wearing frock of black silk ornamented
with white figures. Her long topcoat
was of black cloth and the entire lining
was of the same silk as the frock. The
cuffs, collar and pockets of the coat
were> faced with the black and white
also. Mrs. Mitchell's hat was a small
sort of soft narrow brimmed affair of
black velour.
TT WAS delightful yesterday afternoon
L at the French war relief committee
tea which was given for Mrs. Willard
Rodgers. TINT is. it was delightful for
those who could get into the room.
which was packed and jammed in every
possible corner In fact they even opened
the windows and put chairs in from the
porches. You know the French com
mittee has the lovely old Roberts
mansion at 1901 Walnut street. Well,
even if you could not get in it was nice
sitting out in the hall and hearing an
occasional word.
Mrs. Rodgers looked very charming.
ont wore rdtueT ldrSe naI trimmed
with n tan ostrich feather and beau
tiful brown fur scarf. Mrs. Cornelius
Stevenson, who is head of the French
committee, introduced her in q short and
extremely gracious speech and the en-
thusiasm> was very great. After the talk,
which was perfectly splendid and gave
all sorts of little intimate details which
were more than interesting, tea was
served to the guests.
Sal
all decorated with autumn leaves and
gorgeous chrysanthemums and roses.
The mantels were fairly banked with
flowers and the platform on which Mrs.
Rodgers stood was like Il fairy bower.
