DEBUTANTE DANCE.

FEILDING SOCIAL GATHERING. A combined debutantes’ dance provided a happy occasion in the Feikung Parish Had, when Mr and Airs F. P. Fawcett and Mr and Mrs K. M. Little entertained for their daughters, .Miss Anne Fawcett and Miss Beth Little; The hall was festooned with greenery and autumn foliage, and huge bowls of beautiful hydrangeas added to its appearance. The supper table was attractively decorated and lit with candles. The guests were received by the hostesses, Mrs Fawcett wearing a gown of black sheer with a coatee in matching taffeta, while Mrs Little’s gown of clover taffeta was relieved with flowers in blue shadings. For her debut, Miss. Fawcett had chosen a charming gown fashioned of ivory embossed georgette, with circular skirt and laced bodice, an effective touch being shoulder straps composed of silver leaves. Contrast was provided by her posy composed of scarlet and white carnations, intermingled with maidenhair fern. Ivory moire taffeta composed Miss Little’s old-world gown, which featured a voluminous skirt rucked in scallops at the hemline to reveal an underskirt of.net and caught with posies of pastel flowers, as was the quaint fichu which encircle the off-the-slioulder neckline of the. pin-tucked bodice. Her posy was of nerines, rosebuds and cornflowers in pastel shadings, tied with blue tulle.
