The largest debutante event of the season in Boston 
was the ball Mr. and Mrs. Robert Treat Paine, 2d, mem- 
bers of the Magnolia summer colony, gave at the Somer- 
set Friday night to introduce their older daughter, Miss 
Elizabeth Mason Paine. The ballroom was undecorated, 
excepting for a half-dozen Christmas trees beneath the 
balcony, making a background for the receiving party. 
On each side were large gilt baskets filled with the many 
flowers which had been sent the debutante, and a few 
small potted plants were also used. Mrs. Paine’s gown 
was of white satin partially covered with black pailletted 
lace. The girdle was of peacock velvet, and there was a 
single pink rose on the corsage. Miss Paine was in white 
satin, with drapery of chiffon, held in place by garlands 
of pink roses, the bodice done with spangled tulle. Miss 
Ruth Paine, the younger daughter, who arrived after the 
Friday evening dancing class, was also in white satin wit4 
spangled tulle and pink roses. The ball was under the 
management of S. V. R. Crosby and P. S. Sears.
