bigger and better things In
1855. Caroline Simmons took
herself of into a corner and
talked herself into a good one

latter from now on. But in
case you lack the old will

coming to Washington. He
couldn't even go grouse shoot

with the President of France
because he had to work. If he
doesn't watch out he'll end up

To be as sweetly poised and
calm as Elizabeth, the Queen
Mother. OF course it helps to
have a retinue of - at ones
disposal, still she always does
twice as much as she is ex-

most unhurried woman in

Embassy Boil Gay
For Presentations
By Potrieio Simmons

There's a big difference be-
tween being a debutante in
The Netherlands and here in
the Nations Capital.
. Authorities on the interna-
tional matter, Miss Albertina
van Rotten and Miss Marie
Joanna Teixeira de Mattos,
bowed here last evening at a
white tie" ball at The Meth
erlands Embassy.
"At home we don't have a
whole schedule - maybe Just
four or five coming-out parties
q season." explained the deb
daughter of Ambassador and
Nine. van Rotten.
In short, debs in the land of
tulips don't have to be as
hardy as their sisters in the
Cherry Blossom Capital.
Before the war in The
Hague, highlight Of the deb
utante season was being pre-
sented to Queen <Wilhelmina
at court. This custom has not
been carried on by Queen
Juliana.
Rotes q Title
The daughter of the First
Secretary of the Embassy and
Mime. Teixeira de Mattos, by
the way, is the only debutante
in town who rates a title be-
fore her name.
Actually Mickey" as her
friends call her, is entitled to
use "Jonkvrouwe" instead of
Miss" It means she is the
daughter of a Jonkheer. a title
similar to the English "baro-
net"
Last night, resemblances be-
tween deb doings at the en-
bassy and a young set party
in The Netherlands, made
things all the livelier.
Especially those ribbon, bell
and bow numbers. American
couples caught on to the Dutch
custom in a hurry.
When a gentleman spotted
someone he wanted to dance
with he merely placed a pink
ribbon attached to a tiny bell
around milady's neck. The OPP
Grafton worked the other way,
too. A lady had the partner
of her choice by pinning a
ribbon bow in his lapel.
Dutch Bowl Popular
Another Netherlands touch
that went over big was the
Dutch bowl-a concoction
of Rhine wine, curacao and
fruit. ....
The receiving line, near the
grand embassy staircase, in
cluded both debs and their
parents.
The envoy's daughter wore
a blue and pink dress that had
been flown here from Holland.
Jonkvrouwe Teixeira de Mat
tos chose a blue dress of a
different hue, fashioned on
princess lines.

The only time the Pirates will

Chicago and Milwaukee.
Actually, the new travelling ar
rangements will go into effect
