In fact, of the early season, was the

OF the Ritz-Carlton. This function is
fer the debutantes of this and last

keen pleasure by the young women.

MRS. Herbert L. Satterlee. They re-

There are so many debutantes this
season that it was found necessary to
withhold invitations to any but the
debutantes of the two seasons and the
young men, each girl having the privi-
lege of inviting two men. For the lat
ser dances, January 3 and February Z,
N1e of the older girls will be asked.
The junior assemblies are run on
conservative lines and have never
