The first big debut day of the
June season took place yesterday
when three Washington girls made
their bows to society. Miss Doris
OyDonnell was presented at a tea
dance at the 1925 F Street Club.
Miss Sue Ann Rouse at tea
dance at the Shoreham Hotel
and Miss Sarah Woodley Alexan-
der at ball at the Chevy Chase
Club that was glamorous climax
to a crowded day for the younger
set.
An artificial moon and soft
lights lent charm to the outdoor
setting for the party DR.. and Mrs.
Samuel Allen Alexander gave for
their youngest daughter. The
weather was ideal for dancing
on the terrace and for the cham
payne bar and a midnight supper
on the open porch that over
looks the wide green lawn and the
rolling golf course beyond. Spring
flowers decorated the club.
The pretty, blond, curly haired
debutante stood with her parents
to receive their several hundred
guests. She wore a stunning, white
taffeta strapleSs gown ornamented
with fresh pink roses that were
caught in the puff that went over
one. shoulder and formed cascades
in the bouffant skirt. She carried
an old-fashioned nose gay of pink
roses. Mrs. Alexander'S gown was
of changeable green net with a
becoming off-the- shoulder neck
line.
Sally's two sisters who made
their debuts together three sum-
mers ago, were there with their
respective husbands, Mr.. William
P. Mcclure and Mr.. Willmott
Lewis, jr. Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis
were hosts at a dinner for so at
the club in honor of the debu-
tante preceding the dance. Miss
Alexander'S assistants were three
classmates from Dana Hall where
she was graduated this week. They
are the Misses Molly Ford of Ohio.
Mary Jane Badger of Boston and
Sally White of Quincy. Mass.
The gay ball began at 1890
o'clock and continued until around
3 this morning, aided and abetted
by the music of Jack Morton and
his orchestra.
Other parties for Miss Alex
ander, who went to Potomac and
Madeira Schools before attending
. Dana Hall, will be given during
the Christmas holidays. At that
time, Mr.. and Mrs. Burke Sum-
mers and Cadet Paul Summers
will give dinner for her and DR..
and Mrs. William F. Burdick will
also be hosts at a dinner in her
honor preceding one of the Christ
mas dances. This summer Miss
Alexander will visit some of her
classmates and take trip to the
West Coast.

Miss Doris O'Donnell was pre-
sented by her mother. Mrs. Doris
Fleeson, to members of the Capt.
tails younger set yesterday after
noon at a delightful party that
took full advantage of the attrac-
tive garden of the 1925 F Street
Club. The S to 7 affair was the
second this year for the debutante
who was introduced to her moth
er's friends at a tea in their
Georgetown home during the
Christmas holidays.
The petite brunette was a pic
ture in her white organdy gown
as she stood with her mother in
the drawing room of the club to
receive their 300 or so guests. The
strapless ankle-length frock with
tucked Renoir bodice and bouf-
fant skirt was topped by a match
ing capelet that she removed later
in the evening. An old-fashioned
nosegay and shocking pink slip
pers completed her costume. Mrs.
Fleeson wore a grey marquisette
gown embroidered with white but
terflies on the bodice and skirt,
and matching grey slippers.
Sidney's orchestra held forth in
the ballroom where there was
continuous dancing throughout
the party, but most of the guests
gathered in the garden where a.
bar and buffet table were set up
under a marquee.
