terest is Miss Adlumia Sterrett,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Dent Sterrett, who will be presented
at dance December 81. Miss Ster-
rett is cousin of Miss Ann Sterrett,
who also will be introduced this
Winter
The Army-Navy Country Club will
be the fitting setting for the twin
''service" buds, for Capt. and Mrs.
Harry A. Stuart will entertain at a
tea dance November 27, to introduce
to their friends their lovely twin
daughters, Miss Anna Lee Stuart and
Miss Mary Blandin Stuart.
Miss Polly Wirgman, daughter Of

scented at a tea dance at the Wash
ington Club November %, and early
in December Miss Margaret McNeale
will be introduced at a tea by her

A colorful gypsy dance will be given
in honor of the debutantes December

and at this fete a number of novel
features Of entertainment and deco
xations will be inaugurated.
Miss Edar van L. Fleming, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert F. Fqem-
ing, will make her bow at reception
December 81. with probably dinner
dance that evening. Miss Fleming is
continuing her studies at wellesley,
and will not return home until the
Christmas holidays.
Miss Mary Roberts Meigs and her
twin sister, Miss Sarah Tyler Meigs,
are at Bryn Mawr, and will take part
in the festivities only during the holi-
days. They are the daughters of DR..
and Mrs. Edward B. Meigs, and were
presented to Philadelphia society last
month. No definite date has been
selected for their debut in the Capital.
Mrs. Meigs will return to Washington
tomorrow from Philadelphia.
Keen regret is felt in the dropping
of several names from the Capitals
debutante group this Winter. Miss
Anne Moorehead, daughter of Mrs.
Howell Moorehead. has entered Reed
College, in Portland, Greg. and will
not be presented, and Miss Mary Sen
ate Howes, attractive daughter of the
First Assistant Postmaster General
and Mrs. w. w. Howes, will
continue her studies this Winter.
Miss Howes has been mentioned as a
possible debutante, but she is bit too
young to make formal debut. She
has a wide circle Of friends In the
younger set and regardless Of her
desire to continue her studies 1t will
be difficult for this popular young
woman to decline the numerous invita-
tions she will receive.
Miss Barbara Baker, niece and ward
Of DR.. and Mrs. John H. Iden, is
spending the Winter with her grand
mother, Mrs. Nathan Twining. widow
of Admiral Twining, at the Hotel
Victoria In Boston, while in her senior
year at Radcliffe, and it is doubtful
whether she will be able to return to
Washington even for the holiday sea-
son. However, nothing definite has
been decided on this.
Another prominent debutante from
the old residential set is Miss Leonie
c. Mccoy, granddaughter of Mrs. j.
Davis Brodhead, who will present her
at a tea in her home. Mrs. Brod-
head will give dinner Saturday for
Miss Mccoy, preceding the tacky ball.
There are number of other young
women, all popular and interesting,
who will be presented this Winter,
although no definite dates and plans
have been made
One of the largest afternoon parties
this week will be the tea Mrs. Netiah
King will give at 2400 Sixteenth street
for the debutantes. Mrs. King will
be assisted by number of the buds
OF the coming season as well as by
several of the prominent debutantes
Of last Winter.
Christmas night will find another
Interesting function, as Mrs. Helen
Ray Hagner, who selected Christmas
night eight years ago to give her
= first midshipmen's and cadets ball and
each year has repeated this event,
