Miss Isabel Crawford, who was
recently introduced to Washington
society by her aunt and uncle, Senator
and Mrs. Arthur Capper, is wearing a
number of the most captivating frocks
ina ginable, made by two of the ultra
fashionable modistes of New York
City.
In hearing descriptions of the diff
ferent costumes worn by Miss Craw-
ford at her coming out" party and
other functions, the news was di-
vulged that the debutantes are not
wearing hats. 1t must be rather con-
venient in this day of bobbed hair and
short skirts to distinguish the de-
butantes by the simple process of
looking to see if 'she' wears a hat.
