SOCIETY NOTES 
From a recent issue of a New Or- 
leans paper we reprint the following 
account of the debut of Miss Elaine 
Denegre: 
“Prominent among the social func- 
tions of the season was the reception 
given Wednesday by Mr, and Mrs. 
Walter D. Denegre in honor of their 
young daughter, Miss Elaine Denegre, 
a debutante of this winter, who since 
her arrival the latter part of Decem- 
ber has been numbered among the 
very popular members of the debu- 
tante coterie and at the Twelfth 
Night Revelers’ ball was selected as 
one of the maids of the royal court, 
a prelude, it is whispered, to other 
Carnival honors later in the winter. 
Miss Denegre was formally introduc- 
ed earlier in the season while in the 
North, and was much feted and ad- 
mired in Boston and Chicago, where 
she visited with her parents after 
leaving their summer home at Man- 
chester-by-the-Sea.. As a preliminary 
to her first season Mr, and Mrs. 
Denegre entained at a very beautiful 
ball at their summer home in honor 
of their daughter. Mr. and Mrs. 
Denegre, to the regret of their numer- 
ous friends, have not occupied their 
home here for a number of years, 
spending their time in Washington, D. 
C., and at their country estate and in 
traveling abroad. Mr. Denegre each 
winter, however,has come South for a 
short while to visit the different mem- 
bers of his family.-The return of Mr. 
and Mrs. Denegre especially for the 
purpose of introducting their charm- 
ing young daughter in their old home 
is a bit of sentiment that is very lovely 
and refreshing in these prosaic days. 
The decorations of the handsome and 
stately mansion in Prytania Street, 
were eleborate and beautiful with 
quantities of palms and ferns and 
bright-tinted flowers. Flat gilt wall 
baskets filled with pink Killarney 
‘roses decorated the drawing-room 
where the guests were received by 
Mrs, Denegre, the same exquisite 
blooms banking the mantels. Palms 
* and ferns and Easter lilies formed the 
embellishment of the library and hall 
and in the dining-room crimson meteor 
roses held in silver baskets and vases 
were arranged on the handsomely ap- 
pointed table, supplemented by gold- 
en-shaded lights. The broad galleries 
flanking either side and the front of 
the home was canvassed in and deco- 
rated with bay trees, palms and other 
potted plants, and hanging baskets 
filled with trailing ferns, An orch- 
estra stationed at the end of the hall 
and screened with a bower of palms 
gave a delightful program throughout 
the hours of the reception from 5 to 7 
o'clock. Many beautiful flowers in- 
cluding orchids, valley lilies, and roses 
of different tints were sent by friends 
to the fair young guest of honor and 
added their fragrance and fragile love- 
liness to the ornate decorations. Mrs. 
Denegre and Miss Denegre received 
alone, both wearing handsome after- 
noon gowns.****A very large number 
of guests were present to greet ‘Mr. 
and Mrs, Denegre and the young guest 
of honor, who is a very charming and 
lovely girl, whose graciousness and un- 
affected manner has already won for 
her a host of friends, To-night Mr. 
and Mrs. Denegre will entertain again 
in honor of their daughter at a dance 
at their home, the first of several 
which they will give.” 
Tanco To T'ANGO-LAND. 
Since dancing on board has _be- 
come so popular with tourists mak- 
ing the winter cruises to the West 
Indies, Panama and Central and 
South America, the United Fruit 
company has received many requests 
to install dancing teachers on the 
steamers of “The Great White 
Fleet.” 
Although the tango and the hesi- 
tation have been strongly opposed 
by many influential people they seem 
to be in vogue with the younger set. 
Before making such a radical change 
in its social staff the United Fruit 
company has announced that the pas- 
sengers on each cruise shall them- 
selves decide whether they desire the 
dances or not. ‘The company will 
follow the wishes of the majority,
