American predecessor of Lady Lindsay,
as chatelaine Of the British embassy.
The baroness was Miss Lillian M. Lang
ham Of Louisville and she left her
impress on her era. Lady Herbert was

~ Of Gotham, akin TO all the social
and financial magnates. Another chate-

While society waits in respectful abey-
ance for the ofiicial season to dawn
no time is being lost. and almost every
minute OF the younger set is being taken
up with plans for its lively charge into
the social ranks little later on. The
debutantes who will begin to step forth
before october closes are mysteriously
busy with arrangements for the tacky
ball to be given at the Mayfiower by
their elder sisters Tuesday night when
a clever. program of surprises will be
seen. The widest flights of magma
ton are being exercised in constructing
costumes OF a tacky Mature for the
girls and their escorts. The object Is
to acquaint debutantes with one an
other, and no more genial or freakish
way could be thought of.
PrettieSt and most picturesque of all
Washington Autumn entertainments is
the first fox hunt Of the Washington
Riding and Hunt Club, and unusual
interest and dash Is given the event,
which takes place Saturday, Novem-
Der l. The beautiful rolling lands
OF the National Woman's Country
Club, will be used for the pur-
pose. and society, accustomed to hunt
breakfast following the run, will see
the start at 2:30 o'clock in the after
noon, followed by a tea dance. Won
ders never cease. Mrs. Hoover, who
thrills at the mere mention of the
open country, horseback riding and
the great world of sports, has been
invited to unleash the hounds.
Mrs. Hoover, too, heads the list of
box holders for the Philadelphia Or
chestra series of concerts, which,
strangely enough, will be given in the
evening this season instead of in the
afternoon. Constitution Hall will be
used for the four concerts, the first
November 4, the last February II, and
the two intervening concerts on De-
cember 8 and January 20. Other box
