one side of her was Mr. Hines with
Marilynn on the other Mrs Hines
wore a becoming gown of black faille
and velvet, the bodice made with a
collar in Elizabethian fashion. For
the occasion Mrs Hines wore her
beautiful star sapphire and in her
lap was an old-fashioned bouquet OF
orchids.
The debutante, who is so very
young looking that it is difficult to
realize that she is actually of debu-
tante age, was radiant yesterday as
she welcomed and received the con-
eratulations and best wishes of her
friends. Her gown was of ice blue
and silver lame made on severely
tailored lines with short pufted
sleeves and fullness in the front of
the f1oor-length dress. She alter
mated in holding many of her bou-
quets yesterday and one Of the more
striking arrangements of flowers was
the giant old-fashioned bouquet OF
sweetheart roses, forget -nots and
butterfly orchids. She wore dia-
mond pendent, gift from her par
ents. and a ruby bracelet given to
her by her brother, Mr.. Garfield
Hines, in honor of her debut.
Another Departure Made
In Entertaining.
The debutante departed from the
custom of having sister buds as
sist. for she frankly declared she
wanted her friends to have pleas
ant time and not have any duties
to perform. Mrs. Hines. however,
asked a few of her close friends to
help her at the tea table during the
afternoon. In this group were Mrs.
Alex B. Legare, Mrs. D. Lawrence
Groner. Mrs. Lee p Warren, Mrs.
Frank T. Hines. Mrs. Henry Miller,
Mrs. Randall Hagner, Mrs. Wallach
Merriam, Mrs. James F. Mitchell
and Mrs. Kenna Elkins, with whom
Miss Hines is staying as her par
ents will remain at their country
home. Prospect Hill, near Frederick,
Md, during the winter months.
Mrs. Casper Whitney. Mrs Hines
sister, was on hand to assist gen.
orally. having come from her home
in New York, accompanied by her
daughter, Mrs. Morgan Wing, jr.
On the long buffet great bouquets
of white roses were used. Here
guests enjoyed such delicacies for
which the club is famous. There
were open-faced turkey sandwiches
broiled chicken livers and tiny sau-
sages, cavair, tiny biscuits filled with
sausage and ever so many other
dainties to tempt the appetite and
make one forget that there was ever
such a thing as a diet. In an ad-
joining room beverages of all kinds
were served, and during the after
noon trays of glasses of sparkling
champagne were brought in the
drawing room for those who fingered
there.

wore mink coats with their brown
ensembles, and Miss Letter had on
