MISS wADSwORTH TO
GO BACK TO school,.

Miss Evelyn Wadsworth, daughter
OF Senator and Mrs. James w. Wads-

potential debutante, but apparently
without authority. I'm told that Mrs.
Wordsworth has no intention OF bring
ing her out for another year and that
she IL going back to school again

does make It, will be an event of no
little Importance. for the Wadsworths.

sition In Washington society. Mrs.
Wadsworth was Miss Alice Hay,
daughter of the late John Hay, his
torian, poet, diplomat and statesman,
and was presented TO society here
when her father WAS Secretary OF
State. She was the ch8m and COM
panion OF Miss Alice Roosevelt, now
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. when THE
Colonel was in the White House and
his high spirited daughter was hold

Miss Wadsworth has inherited much

Miss Caroline Story. daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John p. Story, jr., and
Miss Alice Harding. daughter OF w. i.
G. Harding, governor OF the Federal
Reserve Board, will also make their
debut next winter-probably. They
are not going back to school this
year. but will take sundry special
courses here in Washington. They
expect to study pretty hard. but will
undoubtedly have little reliminary
fling in the social world. Miss Harding
and Miss Story have been school
mates for several years. are devoted
friends and the former spends part of

their country place near Annapolis.
Mrs. Story and Caroline are there
