She Talks of Miss Deborah Logan's Debut in
the Winter-Other Happenings

TN THESE days when most every one
is out Of town, do you sometimes
walk along the street seeking familiar
faces and feel like shrieking loud and
clear IL you don't see one? I did yes q.
terday. and then, 10 and behold you,
met Mrs. Thomas Jeffries and her
daughter, Mrs. Pearson Pearce, look
ing so smart and we'll that l did not
shrek, simply smiled and felt better
all day.
Mrs. Jeffries was wearing a suit Of
black tricolette made on plain lines and
the skirt was rather long. Her hat
was close fitting, and trimmed with
black quillings. Florence wore a
dainty voile gown of dark blue and
white made with plain skirt fulled
about the waist and the blouse was cut
in a round neck and edged with a mar
row ruffle. Her rather large hat of
black was trimmed with dark flowers.
TIME Jeffries will go in a few days
L to New England. They usually stay
in jamestown, r. l.. but n little bird
told me lately they were going to Mar
ragansett this year.
Mrs. Jeffries's two sisters. Mrs. John
Norris and Mrs. Dick Norris, go to
Naragansett every year and are al
ready in their cottages there. The
Dick Norrises have a debutante daugh E
ter for next season. Mary d. Norris.
She is very good looking. fair hair and
o,I
Good figure goes without saying.
when describing any one with Dobson
blood though, and both Mrs. Norrises
were Dobsons. you know, Mrs. Dick
was Sarah Dobson and Mrs. John,
Maria Dobson. Mrs. Jeffries was Miss
Mary Dobson and the other two sisters
are Mrs. Dobson Altemus and Mrs.
Arthur Spencer.
Ellen Glendenning is up in Nara e.
gansett now staying with Mary Norris.
She's debutante of next year. too.
saw her grandfather. Mr.. George w.
Carpenter. on the street the other day
ond found him looking wonderfully we'll.
Mrs. Glendenning was Miss Bessie Car :
penter.
CARAH LOGAN is to have a pretty
~ good time next year, don't you
think? She's the first granddaughter
in the Samuel Price Wetherill family
to make her debut. The Shilard
Smiths have no children, neither have
the Iorke Stevensons, and Isabelle
Henderson children are younger
again. Deborah Logan's mother was
Sarah Wetherill. sister of Mrs. Shil-
lard Smith, Mrs. Yorke Stevenson and
Mrs. Sam Henderson. Samuel Price
Wetherill, Jr., is a brother also.
Sarah's grandfather and grand
mother. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Price
Wetherill, will give the formal recep-
tions to introduce Deborah at their
beautiful house on Eighteenth street.
adjoining Rittenhouse square, on the
third and tenth of December. The
Stevensons are going to give her a
fancy dress party in January. and
her father and mother will give a dance
in December. The hosts of Wetheril
relatives will doubtless entertain for
her.
Indeed don't you wonder how the
debs will live through next winter.
Why it's utterly impossible to figure
on going to all the things they will be
asked to. We poor Older bunch" who
will be asked to their teas. will about
pass out just thinking of it. And
after two full years of nothing of the
kind, we will scarcely know how to
behave. going to real honest to good
ness parties.
Deborah Logan is very much like
her mother. She has light brown curl
ing hair and very bright eyes and a
most attractive manner. She will be
one of the seasons bellies without
doubt. But goodness, when | think of
the season and all those teas. I'm
speechless.
WHAT a difference a few years make.
w Not only in people. but in clothes :
and again. not only in clothes, but in
the materials: and again, not only in
materials. but in the quantity of ma
terial used. viz; Fifteen years ago
Marian gave Polly. her sister in law,
u very pretty piece VI oISuuult 10 Hlahe
n frock. 1t was in the days of ruffles
and full skirts and the pattern was
very pretty, but as it was toward the
end of the season. Molly put it away
till next year. Well, next year she
forgot she had it and so it went on.
till about three weeks ago. Polly be-
gan going over the small trunk in
which she had put things that could
be used some day" and she came
across the pretty organdiS, and or
candies all the rage now.
Suddenly she called her sister.
"Molly. come here and measure this
organdic; you know it feels quite thick.
1t there were ten yards, it would make
two dresses" Molly came armed with
a yard stick and there were ten yards
and Molly and Polly each took five
yards and made the organdie into two
smart frocks for this summer.
