BY NINA CARTER TABB. R. AND MRS. HOUSTON GADDIS entertained at one of the largest and most de- lightful receptions that has been given in this part of Virginia for many a day on Saturday after- noon, when they presented their debutant daughter, Miss Elizabeth Porter Gaddis (known as “Bobby”), to society. Their place, Piedmont farm, never looked Iloveller. The spacious house, broad sloping lawn and gardens was a mass of color and gave plenty of room for the many prominent persons present. “Bobby” looked so pretty and fresh as she received the guests with Mrs. Gaddis. She wore & gown of ‘white chiffon embroidered in sprigs of tiny colored flowers. Virginians and ‘Washingtonians, from 50 to 60 miles away, were there, for it was & gorgeous afternoon and the drive to Piedmont farm, lying at the foot of the Cobbler Mountains, took them along some of the loveliest roads and lanes of Virginia. The guests included masters of hunts and numerous members from Warrenton, Middleburg, Piedmont, Blue Ridge, Old Dominion, Orange County, Fairfax and Cobbler hunts. After a bit of polite chatter, most conversations turned to the coming fox hunting and the prospects of a good season. Mrs. Gaddis, who was formerly Mrs. Fred Okie, is a noted horsewoman. She and the late Fred Okie founded the Cobbler hunt about 25 years ago, when she, as Pauline Platt of Dayton, Ohio, married Mr. Okie of Washington and Virginia and settled in Virginia, building the pres- ent house on Pledmont farm.

SLOANE Courtesy Parking ‘While shopping here, park in the Capitol Garage at our expense. children—Fred Okie, jr.; Platt Okie, Jack Okie and Miss Loulse Okie—are among the best of our good riders, followers to hounds and polo play- ers. Miss Gaddis, the debutante daughter, is an ardent follower to hounds also. L Although there were many prom- inent older members of society at the reception, the younger set predom- inated, for Miss Gaddis is one of the most popular among them. Most of them left the Gaddis party to attend the buffet supper given by Mr. Ran- dolph Charrington of Warrenton, a distance of 20 miles away. From there they all went to Winchester to a dance and Sunday they rested a little in the morning before going on a picnic on top of the Blue Ridge Mountain at Bears Den, then to a supper party given by Mr. Robert Turner and Miss Shirley Turner at their home between Middleburg and The Plains. There was much reminiscent talk of the wonderful dance that took place on PFriday night in Middleburg, when a committee of 15 coming D. C, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1936. built in the stable court yard of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur White’s former home in the village of Middleburg proved to be an ideal place for the party. Lighted with Japanese lanterns and a full moon, the ‘box stalls arranged with tables and bales of straw, with brightly colored horse blankets thrown over them made an attractive stage setting. The whole scene was beau- tiful and the party was greatly en- Joyed by the several hundred guests. ‘Tonight the large dance to be given by Miss Charlotte H. Noland at Fox- croft, in honor of Miss Charlotte Noland Smith, is the chief topic of conversation and interest. Again they will dance beneath the moon, for a large platform has been built over one of the tennis courts. Some of the group will change to riding breeches and turtle neck sweaters after the dance and go cub-hunting with Middleburg Hounds, for Dan Sands, master, gives the youngsters a chance for a little fox hunting before they leave for college, by taking hounds out earlier than most hunts.
