Debutantes are pouring in on society
at rate to demoralize the more staid
circles, girls lending their names to
half dozen events in an afternoon and
flies. The purchase of flowers for the
buds is also a steady and large draw
on the modest purse, each girl feeling
shabbily treated without huge screen
as background, literally covered with
the rarest bouquets. Miss Laura Le-
jeune, daughter of the commandant Of
the Marine Corps and Mrs. John A.
Lejuene, was fairly covered with
flowers, the marines at the barracks
and at Quantico not only doubling
up in sending them with their COM
pliments to the daughter of their
chief, but also decorating the hall
where the debut took place. Admiral

officers of the World War, likewise Mr.
Balfour and M. Rene Viviani, called to
pay their respects to Miss Lejuene.

City, in one of her characteristic pro-
grams of acted songs, appeared at the
given by President and Mrs. Harding

family on Thursday night.
