ss she preferre ed to have it. Mrs.
Marcus Hanna. But first Miss
Elizabeth's father. Dan Hanna,
died; and then a few months later

Hanna And the formal debut
seemed quite out Of the question.
She took q house and lived here
with her chaperone-and more or
less under the eye Of her aunt,
Mrs. MediA Mccormick. Along in
the spring she began going around
quite q little-but she made no
formal debut.
She spent a good part Of the late
spring with Mrs. Medill McCor-
mick. who entertained for her oc-
casionally; and. finally, after wait
Ing quite a little In New York. she
went out to Mrs. McCormisk's
country home near Byron. H.,
with her. later taking a house at
Lake Forest. And 1t seems to me
that one or two Of the Washington
girls visited her there.
0F course the Christmas holi-
days are the heydey Of the
winter season from the point of
view OF the younger set-debs and
, subdebs. and their cavaliers, and
quite a few Of the buds will defer
their formal debut parties until

while with playing around with
those, already out, Among those
to be presented at that time will be

Mrs. Charles Milburn, who has
picked December 23 as her debut
date. Virginia Selden, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Selden. will
make her formal bow at a dance at
Rauschsr's on December 81. Doro-
thy Warren, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bates Warren. win take the
plunge the next day. a reception
being given in the afternoon at the
warren's apartment and a ball at
Rauscher's At night; and Miss
Anne Catherine Weller, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph I. Weller,
will come out on December 2S.
One of the interesting and Ger.
tainly one Of the good-lookins
debutantes Of the year is Miss
Catherine Radcliffe, of Cardiff,
Wales, who will be presented by
Admiral and Mrs. John K. Robi-
son, with whom she is spending
the winter.
OTHERS who are coming out,

girls-of different families-Miss

daughter, on December 4, and
Elizabeth Turner. whose mother.
