tractive fetes.
While the debutanteS are scoring
their triumphs, it has been decreed
that the youngsters of the younger
set who have not arrived at the en-

debutante has her day. but this sea-
son she will attain record for at
tention from the smart set here. The
coming out list, which has been pre-
pared under the vigilant eyes of the
society leaders is the largest ever
compiled and at least three months
will be needed to launch the fair
buds" on the social tide. There are
more than 1856 girls who will make
their bows and the affairs which
have been arranged for them viii
occupy many delightful hours. All in
all it is by far tho greatest debutante
year in history.
Among the names of those to be re-
ceived into the social fold are many
that are as well known in Europe as
America Included in this group is
the Iselin trio. First there Is

reception was held afterward at the

OF Distinguished Lineage.
The bride. who is one of the lead
ers in the younger set. comes fr0n an
old and distinguished Knickerbocker
family. She Is direct descendant of
oliver VVolcott, Secretary of the
Treasury under Washington: also of
Gen. William Floyd, signer of the
Declaration of Independence, and Sir
Thomas Talmadge.
During the ceremony, Miss Merchant
wore a gown of ivory satin and old
family point lace. The point lace Veil
was family heirloom. She was given
away by her brother, Livingston r.
Merchant Among her attendants
were Miss Cornelia Van Rensselaer,
Robb, Miss Mary G. Hoppin and Miss
Phyllis Bernhard. All were dressed in
rose-colored chiffon over peach-col-
ored satin and wore brown velvet
hats, with single ostrich plumes
Even in New York social circles,
where the unusual is expected and
the unexpected evokes but little com
ment, the $1,000.000 bridal gift of
pearls given by James A. Stillman to
his daughter, Miss Anne Stillman, is
still topic of tea table small talk.
Her marriage to Henry Pomeroy Da-
Vlson was rather an elaborate affair
at the estate Of her mother in Pleas
antVille, N. Y. Mr.. Dawson is the
second son of the late Henry p. Davi-
son, the financier, and Mrs. Dawson
Of New York and Locust Valley, Long
Island. He is associated with the firm
of j. P. Morgan, and during the
World War served with distinction in
the Naval Air Service.
1t was a real surprise to society in
general when Prince and Princess
Serge Obolensky slipped unheralded
into the city. For several days they
were guests of the brother and sis
terter-in-law of the princess, Mr.. and
Mrs. Vincent Astor, before it was
known that they were in town. They
then departed from the Vincent Astor
home at $40 Fifth avenue and became
members of house party of their
hosts at Ferncliff- on the Hudson.
1t was in the latter part of July
that the then Miss Alice Muriel Astor
was married to Prince Obolensky in
London. She is the only daughter of
Lady Ribblesdale and the late Col
John Jacob AStor.

The Modern MagellanS

TT is now four hundred years since Por-
i tugeSe chap named Magellan, who was
sea captain in the service of Portugal, broke
with his unappreciative king and went over
TO Spain. where he persuaded another king
TO fit him up with a fleet OF five vessels
10 sail around the world.
Magellan'S expedition took three years to
circumnavigate the globe for the first time,
thus proving beyond doubt that the world
was round.
Ii was a lonely trip, skirting down South
America. up the Pacific Coast, and across
the broad Pacific. where the MageanS first
found cities in China.
Cities were what Magellan sought. He
was killed in the Philippines before he
reached the lands of cities.
But. in more recent years, there have
grown up along the route that Magellan
sailed many teeming cities, Havana, Sac
Paula Rio Janeiro, BuenoS Aires, Santiago.
San Francisco, Honolulu, Manila, and n
host of others. the like of which Magellan
never dreamed.
Magellans voyage made possible these
very cities he sought in vain. Cities follow
steamship routes, railroads. and now air
lanes; these latter attract our attention
today.

A Tip Tor Women in Politics

THE National Woman's party will launch drive for
women in congress
The idea ought to be normal and ordinary as is the
idea of lawyers in congress farmers in congress, or
Methodists
Any woman who demonstrates her ability or who earns
party advancement should be readily sent to congress
as Is man in, the circumstances.
Here is friendly tip to in general to why this
happy condition does not exist.
Women holding office to date have made men uncom-
Portable They've spoiled that delicious spirit of comarad-
erie that invests congress city council or any other
political group.
Men haven't felt that they could put their feet on the
table, cloud the room with smoke, and swear once in
while as they debated affairs OF state
Let the politician stop spelling the party Let
her smoke too if she enjoyssmong and does it at home
If she feels like unburdenng herself of string of the
kind of words papers don't print let her do If she
doesn't know how to do either of these things doesn't
want to- let her make plain that she doesn't expect others
in the to act like sted tin angels Just because she
is there.
Let her stand up in while if there aren't chairs
enough to go around Let her show convincing logic TO
support her pet project if she expects to have it approved
not look tmid and rely chvary to let her slide by Let
her take the stage and her audience by what she says
rather than by how she looks.
Let her act like human being and she will find a ready
welcome to any field she wants to enter.
