moved into this fall. The Lang
leys' party to the Youngs was
supposed to be a surprise party,
but was the first to arrive
and from the festive air the
house wore think someone
was expected. Their home is a
very old one and they have done
wonders with it, keeping old
woodwork, mantels, floors, locks
and hardware, which always add
to these old places. How at
tractive it looked as we en-
tered-bright lights and flowers
and open wood fires cracking
merrily, which gave a welcom-
ing air. AS the guests arrived
I thought I had not seen so
many beautiful women together
for a long time. l think that
adds to a party more than any
thing. A singer and piano
player, who at times mingled
among the guests playing an
accordion, furnished music for
the occasion. but as the even
ing wore on the guests took the
singing out of the hands of the
professionals. More and more
talent came forth. The old
rafters rang with songs and
hunting songs of every sort.
A delicious buffet supper was
served. We left giving high
praise to the Langleys, for they
certainly know how to give a
grand party.

and her mother, was the
scene of an important debut
party Sunday, that of Miss
Christine Long, daughter of
our Ambassador to Italy and
Mrs. Breckenridge Long.
This young "tud" has a
poise which is unique in a
girl in her first season,
brought about no doubt by
her residence abroad, famili-
arity with Court circles in
Rome, and her sojourn in
London last Spring, when
she was presented at the
Court of St. James.
The Ambassador, who is a
very genial, agreeable per-
son, circulated through the
rooms, stopping frequently
to chat or sip a cocktail
with one group or another.
Saturday night, he broke
away from the Black and
White Ball long enough to
have a little refreshment
with Joseph E. Davies, in
the cocktail lounge at the
Mayflower.
The dcbutante's frock,
an erceedingly lovdy one
of pale yello1O chiffon 1Oith
brOWn ostrich trimming,
caused much pleasant CON-
maent, as did her bouquet
of brO1Un orchids.

from orchids and y-of-the-

long-stemmed American
Beauty roses.
