iv/IISS LAURA LEE COONEY was
j I the debutante formally pre
sented to society last week,
when an afternoon reception, given
\<v Mrs. Robert Lee Cooney at the
Piedmont Driving Club, was followed
by a brilliant dinner-dance, at which
Mr. and Mrs. Cooney entertained 150
guests. ‘
Both affair^ were characterized by
lavish and beautiful details of deco-
2 at ion, and the debutante, who pos
sesses rare personal -'harm, was ac
corded a great deal of admiration.
For the afternoon reception the
guests were received by Mrs. Cooney
and Miss Cooney in the living room,
w here the decorations were of smilax
and palms, with swinging baskets of
gold tilled with Lady Hillington roses.
In the dining room, where the
guests were seated for refreshments,
the decorations were of pink roses
and greenery. A large basket of Mary-
land roses with pink shaded tapers
and silver compotes, holding little
cakes embossed in pink, blue and
green, adorned a central table.
The punch bowl was imbedded in
KiHarney and Richmond roses, with
a bolder of Farlancia ferns.
Mrs. Inman Gray, a recent bride,
received with Mrs. Cooney, and as
sisting in entertaining were Mrs.
.lames R. Gray, Mrs. Charles A. Sis
son, Miss Mary Flinn, of Pittsburg,
and Miss Pritchett, of Nashville.
Mrs. Cooney was handsome in black
charmeuse, with tunic of net, em
broidered in old blue, and Miss Coon-
«y was most attractive in seafoam
blue chiffon, with draperies of bro
cade velvet and corsage of lace. Mrs.
Inman Gray wore a draped model of
brocaded charmeuse.
For the evening party, in addition
to the elaborate decorations which
had prevailed for the afternoon, the
ballroom was converted into a bow
er. the walls being hung with smilax
and gray moss, and the white col
umns wreathe^ in smilax.
The ballroom porch was inclosed
in canvas and converted into a tropi
cal garden, with hanging gray moss
and little rills filled with goldfish,
small ferns and foliage plants starred
with brilliant red flowers, suggesting
the marshlands of Louisiana. A for
est of pines led into the ballroom,
and an innovation was introduced by
the appearance of the Hawaiian quar
tet. who, with mandolin and guitar,
went from table to table during din
ner. giving a cabaret show.
Lor the cotillion there were beau
tiful favors, in one of which each
lady was made the recipient of a cor
sage bouquet of valley lilies and or
chids, a similar boutonniere being pre
sented to the men.
Mrs. Cooney wore for the evening
A dancing gown of gold-colored sat
in. with corsage of velvet, brocaded
in French blue, the draped skirt
caught with a jeweled buckle.
Miss Cooney w'ore a beautiful toilet
of while charmeuse, draped with tulle,
and she carried a debutante's ring
of orchids and valley lilies. The many
lovely bouquets sent her by friends
''ore arranged near her, and added
their charm to the occasion.
•Mrs. Inman Gray was gowned in
an imported model of white char
meuse satin, with tunic of w'hite chif
fon. brocaded in black, and she wore
Pink orchids. Miss Mary Flinn wore
black velvet. Miss Pritchett was in
rose-colored satin, with a high girdle
of rose-colored velvet, and Miss Dor-
ntl, y Judkins wore white satin with
draperies of net embroidered In crys
tals.

one which preceded a brilliant
round of parties for members of
; be unmarried set. was the luncheon
siven by Miss Lula Dean Jones in
honor of her guest, Miss Mary Scott
1 erguson, of Roanoke. Va. While the
party included only twelve, the deco
rations were very beautiful and the
"ccasion was one of the happiest of
the week.
A tall silver vase, filled with Kil-
larney roses and narcissi, with small
er v^ses of the same flowers grouped
aborft it, formed the centerpiece for
ho table. The place cards were hand
painted in Cupids, and all decorative
details were in pink and white.
Much merriment was created by
he reading aloud of telegrams,
wrought in during the luncheon, each
bearing some very personal message
' or each guest.
-Miss Jones was lovely in a suit of
brown velvet, with hat of brown vel-
v *t adorned with fur. Miss Fergu-
s °n, whose toilets have been greatly
mired during her visit, wore sap
