RALFH WORTHINGTON ¢ Miss Emily Davis, Miss Marguerite is presenting her daughter Ethel, to society this after- noon at a tea at her residence, on Massachusetts avenue, from 5 until 7 o'clock. Mrs. Worthington, who is wearing & Dubonnet velvet gown, is receiving with her daughter in the drawing room before a screen of ferns, palms and flowers and the rooms are filled with most beautiful blooms. The debutante is wearing a most becom- ing blue georgette dress, the very color of her eyes, made with a high neck, & very full skirt and short puffed sleeves. She is carrying a bouquet to Hagner, Miss Stellita Stapleton, Miss Angelica Lloyd, Miss Eleanor Flood, Miss Christine Long, Miss Martha Davidge, Miss Matheson and Miss Sarah Mitchell Le Fevre.

By the Way— Beth Blaine Junhmdnunew-tmcs:numu-umngwdmpmulmrmm Christmas night, when the second of the “Fall supper dances” is in full swing! Just who will impersonate the wonderful character of Santa is & state secret, but on looking over the members of the committee (William E. Doeller, J. H. de Sibour, William Jasper Du Bose, Ferry K. Heath, Thomas Moorhead, Newbold Noyes, William 8. Reyburn, Emmons 8. Smith and Paul Schell), just off the record, we think that a long white beard would definitely become Emmons Smith! However, it remains to be seen, December 25, who will take the part! Secretary de Sibour has had the brilliant idea that all the mem- bers bring with them presents, utterly silly omes, tied up and ad- dressed to their various friends, which will be placed around the free and handed out by Santa, all of which seems a very fine idea indeed. Incidentally, one must not forget that it is a “white tie” evening, and if you are expecting any out-of-town guests you better communicate with the secretary immediately. * %k x ¥ NE of the most distinguished and well-dressed grande dames of the ald school, where good manners and breeding count most, is Mrs. Joseph C. Cecil. The parents of Caroline Cecil, who will make her debut next year, Col. and Mrs. Cecil are a most delightful Washington couple. Their apartment is the acme of perfection and their superb collection of “Peach-blow” is rare and extremely beautiful. So unusual is this collection that it has taken years to assemble their many fine specimens. In the dining room, exhibited in an es- pecially built cabinet backed with glass, it is the wonder and admiration of their friends, as well as a constant source of worry, for the cabinet is uncovered and it seems as though a breath would blow the rare objects to destruction, Sunday the Cecils entertained at a “sherry party” which was but @ decoy for a veritable feast. Mrs. Cecil, looking very lovely, received her guests in a black velvet dress, and her only ornament was @ superd floral branch of diamonds. * % % x RISCILLA WATSON and “Sandy” Liggett have been feted right and left before their wedding, which takes place tomorrow. Yesterday afternoon Marion S8house and Reeve Lewis gave a joint cocktail party, ehez Lewis, and tonight Mr. and Mrs. Liggett are giving them a dance at the Shoreham. * x x ¥ BI'AEING gifts—that there may be no such thing as a forgotten child in Washington on Christmas—crowds of debutantes, dip- lomats, officials and residents of Washington will flock to the Pall Mall room at the Raleigh Hotel tomorrow night. This party at the Raleigh is being given in comjunction with the Star-Warner Bros. N. B. C. Christmas toy campaign, and, believe it or not, a toy is your cover charge! Bette Hartz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Barge Llewellyn Hartz, is going to be mistress of ceremonies, and already she tells us that Mary Agnes Young, Helen Fish, Margaret McMullen, Madge Carter, Mary Katheryne Spinks, John Dwight Kendall, jr.; Anthony Latona, Richard Gee, Dr. Henry Bell Gwynn and Dr. Frank Govern are going to be there, not to mention a raft of other debutantes and their beaux. Mrs. Hartz has taken a table and among her guests will be Anis Azer, Charge d’Affaires of the Egyptian Legation; Mr. and Mrs. Abner Bernard Drury and Dr. and Mrs. Irving Bratman. A group of debutantes are coming from Baltimore with Frances Snowden Ehlen, s0 it promises to be very gay—and for such a worthy cause. But then, we do not have to go into the fact that some of the best parties each year are for charity, as we gave a long diserta- tion on that subject just a few weeks ago. No one should miss this outing tomorrow night, and especially as we have Just heard that Bette Hartz is going to sing, not to mention the fact that one and all can dance until the wee small hours of the morning, to that very extras match the color of her mother’s dress, which her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Adam K.
