In the Hunt Country Activities Among the Horse-Lovers of Virginia and Maryland. ] v v - e WA, NINA CARTER TABB. OW that the younger members of society are back from col- lege and school, the round of parties and dances has started anew and the grown-ups spend their time arranging entertainments for their debutante daughters and sons coming of age. The first large dance was given on | Friday night by Mr. and Mrs. Home‘ Brokenberry McCormac for their son, | Hollie, jr., at their lovelv Colonial| house “Mansfield,” in Manchester. This | party ocelebrated the silver wedding | anniversary of the older McCormacs. | A dinner party was given for their | friends early in the evening, and at | 10 o'clock about 300 young people were | invited in for dancing. Guests passed through the large | brick mansion, which was beautifully | decorated with flowers, onto the back | lawn. This was wonderfully lighted, and a platform erected on one side and a canvas stretched tightly over | the grass on the other side gave the | hundreds of young people ample danc- ing space. An orchestra played be- | tween these two dance floors, and a intervals the light were lowered, mak- ing a lovely secne as the young people danced by the light of the lovely full moon. Between dances they strolled through the garden walks, where beds | and borders were blooming in great profusion, or sat on the wide veranda listening to the music. A buffet sup- per was served at 12:30, and dancing oontinued until 2:30 a.m. The malds and man servants were dressed in Colonial costumes, which gave an old-fashioned and picturesque touch to the occasion. This was one of the loveliest parties that has been given in Virginia for a long time. Mrs. McCormac and her son re- eeived, and chaperons were Mrs. Rich- ard E. Byrd of Winchester, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Hurley of Leesburg, Mr. and Mrs. Randolph Richardson of Fairfax, Mrs. Neitah King and Mrs. James Smith of Washington, Mrs. Ray Lee of New York, a house guest of the McCormac's, and Thomas Byrd. | MONG the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Post Mitchell, Misses Virginia and Kardy Russell, Margaret Byrd, Jane Stevenson, Connie, Fan and Mary Owen Lyon, Anne Meade, Mary and Gertrude Dougherty, Polly Buchanan, Messrs. Dulany and Archie Randolph, Frank Littleton, Shirley ‘Turner, Henry Skinker, Mack Tabb, Alan Jenkins, William Rust, Moncure Lyon, William Claggett, Richard and Beverley Byrd, John Dudley, Johnny Rhodes, Bill Harris, Gordon Grayson and Richard Tayloe.
