band, the former governor of Ari- zona, at the Hotel Lafayette, ts wearing one of these much embroi- dered velvet hats in a new smart toque shape with a tailored suit Of dark taupe color on smart lines.
 Quite the smartest tailored suit in the debutante rank is that worn by Miss Madeleine Couzens, daughter of the Senaor from Michigan, who oc- cupied a seat in the gallery with her mother for the reading of the Pres ident's message. This is a brown cloth with the gown one-pfece model with narrow bands of brown fur on the skirt and slight outline of quaint geometrical embroidery in colors about the neck. The coat is hip length without darts or curved lines and opens in the back. It is put on like child's pinafore and hangs loose from the shoulder. There may be loops or hooks on the under side as this newest of outer garments never becomes disar- ranged. The fur banding is repeated in two straight lines down the back and all around the edge of the coat headed by a row of the colored em- broidery. This is topped by tur- ban of much the same shade but with slight metallic finish which no trimming beyond broad band and falling loops of self colored ribbon.
 Miss Couzens made her debut in Detroit in November and is now talk ing her place in the social and off cial life of Washington as one of the most charming of senatorial young
