Every one seemed of accord that it was par | excellence and definitely the best “‘dancing class”—they persist in calling it by its original name—in several years. This year Mrs. Leiter was assisted in receiving by the two new younger members of the committee, Mrs. Benjamin Thoron and Mrs. John L. Newbold, jr., both of whom were looking particularly attrac- tive; Violet Thoron wearing a most effective white satin dress with a black scarf, which was ertremely becoming, and Kitty Newbold in a pale green satin dress and long white gloves, which on petite Kitty look longer than any other long gloves! Oh, yes, orchids, too, which also on Kitty look bigger than most people’s orchids—but then perhaps they are! The Amory Carharts were up from Virginia, also the George Sloanes and the Jack Hinckleys and Bettina Belmont, who incidentally had on the | dress of the evening. We have all read about tweed evening dresses, but to date have not seen any hereabouts, but Bettina was all done up in a small checked tweed dress with brown leather shoulder straps, s brown leather purse and sandals to match, quite definitely the last word! The dress was severely plain with a circular skirt and a separate short circular cape. Quite the opposite of the tweed dress was Margot Garrett’s white tulle frock with & voluminous ruffied skirt, and in her hair two white birds. Mr. and Mrs. George Garrett had with them Mrs. Garrett's sister, Mrs. Alasdair Maclean, | speak on “Cupid Takes the Spotlight” |and the “Constitutional Crisis in | England.” Other subjects of inter- | national interest inciude “Romance Versus the Government in the United States.” “Spanish Peppers in the Italian Soup” and news from Buenos Aires.

ONIGHT is debutantes’ night in Baltirgore, and Baltimore buds will be augmented by a group of buds from Washington, at the Pirst Monday German in the Monumental city this year. This time-honored custom of “coming out” at the Bachelors' Cotillion the first Monday in De- cember is one of such long standing that even oldest inhabitants can not re« member its beginning. Membership in this “closed corporation” is by inheri- tance only, handed down from fatherg ——mM to son, and it was organized more than | a hundred years ago. Members scan the invitation lists almost with a microscope, particularly for this first Monday German of each season. A debutante fortunate enough to be in- vited to this function is “made” for all time. Her social status is unques- tioned. For weeks preparations have been under way by the Board of Gov- ernors for the Cotillion, of which Mr. Tilghman G. Pitts is secretary, and each invitation carried a card stating that smoking is prohibited at the German. One of the figures during the evening will be danced by the debutantes and their partners and the floor will be given over to the younger members of society most of the evening. Mrs. Camperio will remain | Time-honored customs will be car- ried out at the Cotillion tonight, and the party. as usual, will be given in the famous Lyric in Baltimore. Here great operas and all the concerts of import, as well as the best plays, are given. The *“old” Lyric is trans- formed for the cotillions. With a floor laid over the seats and the stage elaborately decorated, the quantities of bouquets, those floral tributes to the debutantes of which their beaux are the authors and the inspiration, are nung from the boxes which form a horseshoe about the dance floor. The boxes always are occupied by mem- bers of the most distinguished fam- ilies of Baltimore. Miss Margot Garrett, who was pre- sented in Washington a week ago at one of the most elaborate parties given in the Capital since the debut of Louise Cromwell. now Mrs. Lionel At- will, will go to the Cotillion. She will be introduced by Mrs. J. Edward Johnston of Baltimore, and she will stay with Mr. and Mrs. Wallis Lana- han. Mr. and Mrs. J. Edward Johns- ton will give a dinner before the dance for Margot, and Miss Joan Hanes and Miss Barbara Cooper. Mr. and Mrs. George Angus Garrett will go also. Signorina Terry Camperio, daugh- ter of Signora Camperio and the late Signor Phillipo Camperio of Rome, Italy, who, with her mother, is visit- ing in this country. formerly was Miss Eleanor Terry, | daughter of the late Rear Admiral | Terry.

In the same setting in which her mother and grandmother made their | debuts—the Bachelors’ cotillion in Baltimore, Miss Mary McKim Crane, | daughter of Lieut. Col. and Mrs. John | Alden Crane of Fort Myer, will make | her bow to society. Miss Crane is the granddaughter of Mr. S. Sterett Mc- Kim of Baltimore, and one of the “cave dwellers” of that city, and her | mother, as Mary McKim, made her debut in 1906. Her paternal grand- | father was the late Charles T. Crane, a Confederate veteran of Civil War prominence, who took part in all the major battles from the first battle of Manassas to that of Appomattox. Miss Crane has spent much of her time at Army posts throughout this country and abroad. She lived in Turkey, and recently returned from that country with her parents to Fort Myer. In Instanbul she attended the French convent for two years and studied two years at the American College for Girls. At each school she was the only American student. She speaks French. Turkish and Greek. She is a typical American girl of brunette type. For the past vears she has been dying and is rapidly forging this line of work. She brought back with her many, many pictures of scenes in Turkey. Her hobbies include horseback riding, swimming, tennis and strumming on the Spanish guitar. She will wear a beautiful gown of white taffeta, made on simple lines, and a low-cut decolletage, caught with rolled straps of the material.
