By JEAN ELIoT

dhoI1MAS comes bu t
once a year-and happi-
1y. Even the irrepressible
"younger set" could never
live through such a season
Of gaiety more than once in
a twelye-month.
Two or three dances
every night, with luncheons,
tea dances and dinner par
ties to lead up to this climax
of gaiety. And then the
debutante group is not con-
tent without a visit to the
Club Chantacler!
ETONIGHT Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
= Bruce Howe will give q
dance at picturesque Grasslands,
ct which both the debutantes and
the subdebs will have represen-
tation, since it is in honor Of
their niece, Miss Katherine Car
Isle, formally presented early in
theswinter, and Of their daugh-
ter, Miss Margaret Howe, who
is still in school. Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Howell tLeFevre will
give a supper dance at the Carl
ton for their debutante daughter,
Miss Hester Ann LeFevre. And
a large group from the school
girl and schoolboy contingent
win be guests of Representative
and Mrs. Adam Wyant and Mr..
and Mrs. Levi Cook, who will
entertain jointly at a dance for
Miss Anne Wyant and Miss
Polly Cook.
NNHEN there's the recital of the
u Harvard Instrumental Clubs
In the garden of the Mayfiower,
which many of the youngsters
will attend before going to one or
more of the dances Of the eve
ming. And this afternoon we
have a tea dance for the benefit
of the Belleau Wood Memorial
Association, the very first party
at the new Madrillon Restaurant
in the Washington Building-de-
scribed as very colorful. very
exotic and very amusing. Every
body's going who can, II only for
q ''look-see."
As this is but a sample of what
the youngsters have been doing
every day since the holidays be-
gan. l am haunted by the ques-
ton When do they sleep?"
MISS LEFEVRE is introducing
4A an element of novelty into
her party tonight in that she will
have a group of ''ushers' to help
her. a floor committee" rather
