IIIELL, well finish up this week OF
wv gay doings with an interesting piece

and spends much of her time in this
city Will, her grandmother. She has
tecn studying at the School of Design
Tor a couple of years since her debut,
which was made at tea given by her
grandmother two winters ago.
She is very pretty, has golden hair
and blue eyes and Is extremely popular
in the younger set. She spends her
summers with her family in Warren

scended on one side of the family from
Daniel Webster, and General Robert
Patterson was another ancestor.
Lieutenant Hunter is the son of Mr..

Is spending the winter here this year
and is student at Penn.
Miss Appleton Is a first cousin Of
Eue Goodman, who is a debutante this
season and for whom her grandmother,
Mrs. Goodman, gave a dinner last
evening at the Ritz Carlton and q
theatre party afterward.
T,HE party which the Carriers gave
i at the Ritz Carlton last night for
their debutante daughter Mary was n
beautiful affair. There were about $50
guests and Mary was the prettiest thina
I'VE seen for long time. She wore
an exquisite frock of pale pink and
silver brocade with an ornament Of
pearls on the side. Mary has pretty
soft hair, a charming oval face and
very fair complexion, so the pale shade
Of pink was particularly lovely.
Her sister, Miss Virginia Carter.
wore frock Of gold net embroidered
in gold. 1t was wonderfully smart
and the back of the dress had n cape
arrangement which Is a sort of first
cousin to the popular bertha Of lace so
gold. Mrs. Carter, who received with
Mary, wore a, gown Of dark blue velvet,
which was built on exquisitely plain
lines and had train. Supper was
served after midnight.
A MOTHER debut was made in the
Aafternoon yesterday, when the Hous-
ton Dunns gave tea at their home, 4O1
South Twenty second street. to introduce
Norma Grey, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Norman Grey, of this city. Norma is
the youngest of the three Greys, and
like her mother and sisters has an
abundance of wonderful red gold hair.
She is n graduate of Miss Irwin's and
is quite athletic. playing tennis very
we'll. She looked sweet in frock Of
white and gold brocade, and Mrs. Dunn
and Mrs. Grey, who received with her,
wore very smart gowns, I thought.
Mrs. Dunn's costume was Of rose
colorcd velvet, which was extremely be-
coming to her. She has dark hair and
a lovely. bright color. you know. And
Mrs. Grey's gown was Of dark blue
moire topped with blue beaded tunic
draped at the side.
Norma's two sisters, Miss Louise
Grey and Mrs. Mcknight Black, re-
ceived also, the former wearing frock
Of blue and silver brocade and Mrs.
Black. pale green velvet draped with
Spanish lace. There were about twenty
debutantes receiving.
7 HEAR that Mr.. and Mrs. Carroll
L Hodge and Muricl and Dorothy have
returned from Europe, where they spent
several months. and are at their home
In STAFFORD. Muriel, you know, de-
cided not to come out this year. and
tn tn VI ,l,
Next year both Of them will come out
together, which always seems u de-
lightful thing for two sisters to do, if
they are near enough the age for being
introduced. You know both the Hodge
girls are very musical. They were
among the first members OF the Junior
Music Club. which was organized on
the Main Line some five or more years
ago.
