Mother, Daughter Affair
A ther-and-daughter party that
was really charming was given
yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Hugh
De Witt Butler and pretty and blond
Rosemary Butler.
1t wasn't a debut for Rosemary
she doesn't believe in one of those
for herself. She has been too busy
with more serious things. But it
was the first large party that has
centered around her - the first
where her young friends and con-
temporaries of her parents were
present in such vast numbers.
Cards went out for the delightful
affair In the name of Mrs. Butler
and Miss Butler-but Mr.. Butler
was very much in evidence and
apparently enjoying the party as
much as the guests.
There was something so delight
fully informal and friendly about
the affair. 1t was like an old-fash-
ioned tea party. And guests fingered
long at the United Nations Club
where the function was given.
Mother and daughter both chose
black street-length afternoon dresses
for the occasion. Rosemary's was
trimmed with soft blue velvet bows
and her corsage was of Joanna Hill
roses. Mrs. Buffers gown was all
black and she wore gardenias.
A very nice arrangement was
having group of Miss Buffers
friends really assist. II there were
guests present who were not ac-
quainted they saw to it that they
were introduced. The young ladies
all wore corsages of pompons in
autumn shades-the gift of the
young hostess.
In the group were Miss Dor
othy Tirrell, Miss Eleanor Smith
Miss Mary Beth Sheppard, Miss
Agnes Smith, Miss Marine Winter
field, Miss Betty Boldizer, Miss
Cynthia Farrall, Miss Francis In
gram, Miss Virginia Simmons and
