satin made in a bygone mode,
stood at the door of the long
drawing room to receive her guests.
There was no footman to make
formal introductions, but the
hostess had a word of personal
welcome for each of her guests
and steered them toward the
ballroom where dancing was in
progress and where Mrs. Hender-
sons granada lighter, Miss Beatrice
Henderson. was on hand to do the
honors.

sapphire blue chiffon embroidered
in rhinestones and built over flesh

gown was made with a full skirt

corselet OF white and gold brocade.
She wore some handsome diamonds
set in an old fashioned necklace of
gold and had diamond ornaments
on her bodice and in her hair.
