be introduced to society tonight at a
ball, to be given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur White, at the North Wales

socially prominent people from Bos-

This slender, 18-year-old girl, with
brown hair and eyes, is as attractive
to older people as she is to those OF
her own age. She is not only graceful
and a belle in the ball room, but is
one of the very best horsewomen this
hunting country has ever turned out
and has been following hounds since
she was a very small child.
The ball to be given in her honor
tonight has been talked of for weeks
and is the chief topic CT conversation
today. Even fox hunting has taken a
back seat. as the neighborhood is
filling up with visitors, here to pay
their respects to this young lady. The
young men going to college who have
grown up with Bettina have been ar
irving home for several days. and
numerous dinner parties are to be
given tonight before the ball.
The largest of the parties for the
younger set will be given by Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Elliott Jenkins and their
son. Mr.. Alan Nelson jenkins, at
Lection Hill, Warrenton. Va. Mr.. and
Mrs. George Sloane of Warrenton are
entertaining at a large party for the
parents of debutantes and young men,
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Llewellyn are giving

Der of small dinner parties. North
