NO use trying to tell you Of the
debutantes and junior parties.
Nobody on earth can keep up with
them-not even the debutantes and
juniors. The e. H. Everetts. who
gave that lovely musical last week.

on Wednesday afternoon Mrs. George
Barnett had q party--to mako Wash

home-and to say "Gooo-by." For
with the general out on the Cosst

even when she has q now old
house to occupy her.
You know she has bought one Of
those lovely old Georgetown housos.

now, very much a. they collect old
mahogany or poroelains. And she
has been busy for the last three
months doing 1t over" ana furnish

satisfactory. she and her daughter,
Anne Gordon. are saying sood-by--
and starting for . trip around the
world. So they had their house
warming and their p. p. c. party
combined last Wednesday afternoon.
THE sub-debs are having rather
more than their share of the
fun these days, and there are also p

children's parties.

come anywhere near to their age
but Mrs. Coolidge IN having consii-
cradle difficulty in persuading them
to go. They are very much boys
not over fond of being dressed up
and somewhere to 60: bit shy and
impatient at being gushed over by
people who don't really know them
and are being civil to them chiefly
because they are the Vice Presi.

SPEAKING of being very much
boys" I asked Mrs. clifford
Pinchot the other day where her
small son was, that he was not
receiving with her at the recep-
ton she gave for the League Of
Women Voters. She laughed a.
she answered that his manners
would not stand the strain, and
told me of Senator Edges young
son, about the same age and liv-
ing Just across the street, in the
house which the National Suffrage
Association had for its headquar-
ters during the last few years of
the suffrage fight. He, according
to Mrs. Pinchot IL q wonderfully
courteous. well-mannered little chap,
and she seemed to feel not only
that her little red-headed son
might not shine by comparison,
but that the latter might b moved
to rumple the immaculate little
scion of the house of Edge. IL they
should be left alone together for
long
Probably che exaggerated. for I
remember the little Pinchot boy

who certainly did nothing worse

suffrage receptions he went to

hardly blame him for that!
However. that was several years
aso-for the Pinchots have not
been making Washington their win
ter headquarters for several years
until now. And they seem to
have been changing things around
at their house, closing up the
Rhode Island avenue entrance. with
its semi-circular driveway. and
opening an entrance on the side.
But as long a. they've left the
great library on the second floor
nothing else matters very much.

the rest Of the house il built
