You can we'll imagine the
thrill a youngster would get
out of showing his or her pic
ture taken with a real honest
to-goodness movie star. Well,
that very picture is in the hands
of Mabel Willebrandt, jr. This
Summer she posed with Joan
Crawford and Clark Gable, and
has the evidence in her posses
sion. She may regale her school
companions with endless stories
of things she saw on Hollywood
movie lots.
But that is not all that this
young lady has to recount.
With her mother, the vivacious
Mabel Walker Willebrandt, and
her mothers house guest, Laura
Jane Emery, of California, she
has made a cross-country mo-
tor trip to the West Coast and
back this Summer. En- route
to the Pacific, they stopped in
Yosemite Park, exploring the
wonders of the National Park.
Among the places they visited
on their way home were Boul-
der Dam, Estes Park and Pixies
Peak. Perhaps most memorable
to Mabel, jr., will be their ex-
periences camping in the Rocky
Mountains.
At home now in their George
town residence they are busy
unpacking luggage and getting
ready for another session of
school.

That is the sort of thing that the
newcomer to washington and the
young debutante must face. Get
ting acquainted is, of course, the
first and most important thing.
Everyone is returning now from
some glorious summer vacation in
another part of the globe, feeling
rested and ready for a brilliant
social season.
Numerous Parties
Informal calling is the first thing
on the program. Then, of course,
there are various luncheonS,
bridges, tea dances and cocktail
parties. Often nowadays the girls
who are to make their debuts are
spending their season away from
home attending college. This COM
plicates matters to the extent that
when they arrive at Thanksgiving
or Christmas they haven't become
as well acquainted as they would
have had they been at home at
tending all these gay affairs.
Later on, toward Christmas, as
the season becomes more festive,
we have the large affairs such as
Mrs. Helen Ray Hagner's Washing
ton Assembly. Arrangements for
that will start almost Immediately.
This is a somewhat informal party
with dancing and the debs of this
season will put on a floor show.
Last year they did a "Floradora"
number which was most amusing.
The Black and White Ball, given
by Mrs. William Laird Dunlop, jr.,
is one of the most effective balls of
the year. Christmas night the
Midshipman-Cadet Ball is held and
for color and social brilliancy this
is "tops." Beside these there are
also the Tacky and Bingham Balls
each of which is lots and lots of
fun. All in all the season promises
to be very thrilling.
