Beautiful trees and spacious lawns, that stretch from Sheridan road to the lake, make an ideal setting for a fete champetre. Miss de Windt has spent the last four years at Farmington, Conn., and many of the young ladies who will assist were her schoolmates. After the reception there will be a dinner for about fifty young people and after that dancing in Bluff cottage, a charming bungalow with broad piazzas to supplement the floor of the living room for the gay dancers. This addition to the delightful, old-fashioned New England-like house, is built on the brow of the forty foot bluff that looks out over the lake. If the weather man will only "be good", Carol de Windt's coming out reception ought to be one of the smartest affairs of the season, and in order to have "no hitch" and to use every possible "pull", with "the weather man", we under- stand that every member of the family of Prof. Henry J. Cox will receive an invitation. Among the young women who will assist are the Misses Jean Alton, Grace Andrews, Margaret Barnes, Alice Boak, Helen Davis, Mary Dennehey, Marjorie Farwell, Josephine Faxon, Olivia Fent- ress, Dorothy Flood, Elizabeth Greeley, Mary Elizabeth Leonard, Dorothy Magie, Elizabeth Prindiville, Catherine Rehm, Alice Bo- diger, Betty Scott, Jane Thorp, Louise Voltz, Dolly Walker, and Caroline and Helen Willits. o v Announcement is made of the marriage of Miss Frances Lang- worthy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B.
