A debutante's dream was the party
given for Miss Marye Thomas at
the Suigrave Club last night. The
dance had everything it takes, and
more, too, to make browning sue
cess of that social peak of young
girls life-beautiful setting, beauti-
full girls, champagne flowing and, this
Is the most important of all ingredi-
ents, two men to every girl.
The only cloud on an otherwise
perfect evening was the absence,
due to sudden illness, of Mrs. George
Marye who gave this party for her
granddaughter. 1t was great dis
appointment to every one that the
hostess could not be there
Miss Thomas stood in the receiv-
ing line with her mother, Mrs
Marye Thomas, against a screen
of ferns, palms and clusters of
poinsettias 1anked on either side
with large baskets of flowers which
had been sent to the debutante.
Mrs. Thomas wore an evening dress
of rust-colored lace and carried &
hand corsage of brown orchids. And
the debutante herself was a picture
in beautiful white tulle, off-the-
shoulder gown with big hoop skirt.
A garland of gardenias ran from her
right shoulder down and all the way
across the skirt, and she held large
colonial bouquet with lace collar of
gardenias and stephanotis. The
buds father, Capt. William D.
Thomas, U. S. N, who came down
from New York for the occasion,
also received with his daughter.

ton Social Register was registered
in full force and all ages for this
glamorous party. 1t was like the
good old preWar days. Mr.. and
Mrs. George Garrett were there,
