Mrs. / In the Hunt Country MEN'S Activities Among t he Horse-Lovers in Virginia and Maryland. BY NINA CARTER TABB. HE week end was crowded with parties of all kinds, given at all | hours, for the many debu-| tantes and young men here for | the dances Priday and Saturday nights | in honor of two Virginia girls who | are making their bow to society this| season—Miss Mary Owen Lyon of | Purcellville and Miss Mary Neville Atkinson of Middieburg. Miss Lyon's dance on Friday was given by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Moncure Lyon. Their new stone house, built on Black Oak Ridge, a mountain near Purcellville, was a blaze of light that could be seen for miles by guests driving there from every direction. It made a wonderful setting for the third daughter of the family to make her entrance into society. Through | the artistic arched front doorway could be seen pretty girls, wearing dainty gowns of every color and hue, hurrying up and down the stairway as their escorts waited below. Music coming from somewhere made them | eager to begin dancing. | At the back of the hall was a long, | lovely room and the receiving line. | Mrs. Lyon looked charming in a black lace costume. Miss Lyon wore a white organdy costume with tight-fitted bodice buttoned in the back with tiny buttons, & wide flowing skirt and a wide pink sash that was arranged over her shoulders back and front and down to the waist line in the back. A row of pretty debutantes assisted her, in receiving. Mr. Lyon stood near the end of the line by the back door and piloted guests onto the terrace. Just beyond had been built s platform for dancing, lit with vari-colored Japanese lanterns. An orchestra from Baltimore was seat- ed against a background of pine trees. Majestic oak trees showed up here and there on the softly-lit lawn, a new moon shone overhead, and the whole place looked like fairyland. The young people danced and made | merry for hours, while many older ones looked on and enjoyed it. For those who might get chilly, there was & leaping wood fire in the large fire- | Virginia place of the sun room to one side of the house, where one could sit and watch the dancing. Under one spread- ing oak tree was a table from which the eldest daughter, Miss Constance Lyon, served punch. Miss Fanny Nelson Lyon, a debutante last season; Miss Betty Lyon, youngest daughter, and Robert Lyon, a son, were mingling among the guests and introducing strangers. The eldest son, Moncure Lyon, jr., who was returning from a Western trip where he had been for a month with C. E. Perkins, jr., had car trouble in Texas while hurrying home to attend the party and was not able to get here in time. At 12:30 o'clock a buffet supper of ham, chicken croquettes, salad, rolls, biscuits and hot coffee was served, and afterwards dancing people from a distance had never seen the fascinating steps before, but proved apt pupils. Miss Mary Owen Lyon, by the way, can beat all of them in the intricate steps of this dance. | | Among the guests was Mrs. Robert | | Bentley of Baltimore, grandmother of | |Mary Owen, from whose house the debutante will come out officially in | Baltimore this season. WELBOURNE, the well-known Vir- ginia home of the Dulany fam- | ily, was the scene of the dance given | for Miss Atkinson by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A, Atkinson, on Saturday night. The large, old house | of many rooms, with lights streaming | from every window and door, wel-| comed the debutantes of numerous | cities and their escorts. Miss Elizabeth Atkinson, the debu- | tante’s younger sister, assisted in re- ceiving. Only debutantes of this sea- son were invited to this party, and, from the beauty of the lot who came from different parts of the country, this will be a successful season every- where. Dancing was in the large par- Ior, the billiard room and on the back porch. Supper was served at mid- night, but the party continued until nearly davlight. Dozens of dinner parties were given | befare these two parties for visitors who filled every house in the neigh- | borhood. John Dudley gave a large | buffet luncheon on Saturday, Miss | Charlotte Noland entertained for the two debutantes, their guests and their | | house parties at a breakfast-luncheon | at noon on Sunday. | Miss Helen Lyon of Baltimore was | | here over the week end and after| luncheon hurried home to give a sup- | per party for 100 in honor of Miss | Mary Owen -Lyon in Baltimore last DON’'T : this hot —or go on your vacation stering shops. ready for occupancy. week to keep our through the ALSO CHAIR CANEING CLAY A.
