thought Virginia looked exceed
.,n,y we'll She had a perfectly sweet
freck fashioned Of combination Of
..vin chiffon and silver lace. and II
so, Sas most becoming. The bodice was
tormed entirely of soft white satin and
tLo skirt was Of white chiffon yelled
IN silver lace. A girdle of tiny silver
.osebuds was dainty and effective and
bor slippers and stockings were also
~ silver. She was holding the dear
sst old fashioned bouquet at the time
wos there. 1t was edged with silver
ioce and was formed of rosebuds prin-
cipalIy, and few green ferns and
leaves.
Mrs. Smith looked extremely we'll in
n gown Of Napier blue chiffon en-
broidcred in self toned small beads.
II was an exquisite gown. made with
a square necked bodice and really hnd
nerfectly beautiful lines. Her slippers
and stockings were gray.
saw lots Of people | knew. That's
The way with us all. Each year we rail
against dcbutante tens as bores and
tiresomP. and we go to every one and
have a good time seeing the pretty buds
and taking an interest in them. and all
about them, and yet we say: Tea
cards-my word. here's another, I
do not think any one realizes how
awfuIly tired q little bud must get at
her tea. She has to stand there and
meet lust crowds Of people" she never
saw before. and smile. and be polite,
and try to have something to say to
every one. | should think she would
ache all over after an hour Of it and
she hns always to do il for two hours. |
sometimes two and n half. and even
three hours. | tell you, that's work,
not pleasure.
uAvE you noticed the tendency in
IL the hats this season to copy the |
ancient Oriental headdresS? A great |
many of the tufbans are made with |
large rings on either side hanging down
over the cars and giving the appearance
Of wonderful old earrings.
Some Of the hats are turned straight |
of the face and at either side over the
hair Is placed n bead or feather fringe
falling down almost TO the shoulder or
at least below the lower lobe of the
ear. They are most becoming to the
woman with rather long neck. 7
saw several such hats at the tea and
they were truly stunning. If Mrs.
Nicholas Fiddle has one of these nars
'he II be simply wonderful to look at.
