daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. {
Now more names are being
added to the list. From the
official circle there will be Miss
Mary Senate Howes, who is the
daughter of the Assistant Post
master General and Mrs. w. w.
Howes. She is of medium
height, blonde, witty and full of
fun. Last year she was a stu
dent at National Park Semi
nary, where she took an active
part in the Little Theater move
ment. With her mother she is
spending the summer at the
State Lodge, Hermosa, S. D.
There she has been riding the
trails on overnight trips and
Just short afternoon ones and,
what is more, she has been actu-
ally breaking bronchoS. Per.
hapS that is not so strange after
all, for last year when a four
some of Sub.debS decided to be
the four Little Women Of Louisa
M. Alcott's beloved story, Miss
Howes was 10, the Sportrloving,
energetic one.
Miss Bette Hartz was Amy,
because of her delicate blonde
coloring and love of long words;
Miss Katherine Friant was the
competent, soothing Meg, and
little Miss Betty Cremen, who
Is an accomplished musician,
was Beth. They used to meet
at each others homes and
spend evenings around the
piano and reading. The four
were together all during sub-deb
days, and for a time it seemed
that they might be debutantes
together, but the other three
are undecided yet about the
question of bowling.
Mrs. Howes and her daughter
will probably return to join Mr..
HoWes in their apartment at
the Mayflower Hotel a little
later IN CAe mOIlC1A'
Now on West Coast
Another young lady who is
out of town but nevertheless
scheduled to be presented is
Miss Polly Wirgman, who, with
her mother, Mrs. Wayne Wlrg-
man, is spending the summer
on the west Coast. Not so long
ago she bought a very highly
pedigreed dog in Hollywood,
near the Vendome Cafe. Al
though the doggie gentleman
has a very long and impressive
name of his own, he is now
laboring under the brief, but
fitting nomenclature, Veny.
He will return to Washing
ton with his new family some
time after the first OF next
month. Miss Wirgman was
graduated from Holton-Arms
School last year. Tremendously
fond of riding, the vivacious
little blonde is frequent fig
ure on the paths in the nearby
parks, and takes part in the
society circuses at Fort Myer.
She is a sister Of Mrs. Nelson
C. Elgin, who a few seasons
ago was known in the debutante
circles as Miss Atlee Wirgman.
Representing the Navy in the
younger set will be Miss Anna
Lee Stuart and Miss Mary
Stuart, petite. brunette daugh'
tiers of Capt. Harry A. Stuart,
U. S. NJ, and Mrs. Stuart, who
make their home on KanaWha
Street. Miss Anna Lee, the
younger and trifle taller Of the
two, is remaining in town dur
ing the summer. She attended
the Convent Of the Sacred
Heart in this city and when not
studying, or collecting stamps,
is to be found on some nearby
tennis court or in a pool. Her
sister is visiting at Long Beach,
Calf, and until she returns no
very definite plans can be made
about the big event.
Carolina Belle
The younger set of the Capt..
tai welcomed into it's midst last
year, Miss Mary Patterson,
brown-eyed daughter of Mrs.
Samuel Patterson, of Roanoke
Rapids, N. c., who this season
will make her formal bow. With
her mother she has left the city
and taken cottage at Virginia
Beach for the summer. They
have as their guests now, Miss
Margaret McMullen, daughter
of DR.. and Mrs. John McMullen,
and Miss Mary Key Spinks,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. B.
SpinkS, both of whom were debu-
tantes last year.
