change from the Christmas decora-
tions that have been the back
ground for most of the debuts this
season, were used to decorate the
club. The buffet was centered with
a gorgeous looking cluster Of bios
SONS of all kinds and here and
there about the rooms were huge
vases of similar flowers that bloom
in the springtime. And the many
bouquets sent. to the popular bud
helped to make the club look like
a flower garden. -..-
The debutante made q lovely pic
ture in her gown Of white taffeta
as she stood with her mother to re-
ceive the guests. The dress was
simply made with an off-the-
shoulder neckline banded with. a
roll of the material. The bodice
fitted snugly and the very full skirt
was slightly draped at the hip line
and gathered in the back to give
the suggestion of hustle. The bud
carried a spray bouquet of red
African daisies arranged with eu-
phorbia and she wore a cluster OF
the same blossoms in her hair.
Mrs. Winslow chose for the occa-
sion becoming gown OF yellow
satin fashioned along princess lines
with the skirt f1aring at the hemline.
A spray of brown orchids gave an
effective contrast to the rich yellow
of the dress.

The debutantes two younger SIS
tiers were having gay time at the
party. Pretty Catherine Winslow.

less evening gown of taffeta in a
two-toned combination of flame and
