Debutantes Introduced to Brooklyn
Society 1900
"Debutante
Month," mid-November to
mid-December, is in all its
fashionable glory, "Debutante
Week," as the past six days may
fairly be called, has been a
conspicuous success. For that
matter next week will be very
nearly as gay as this has been. It
cannot be said, really, that one
week takes special precedence over
another in social éclat. Only, as
the season speeds on, future
happenings heap up at a rapid
rate. The winter is like a ball of
snow rolling down a long. It
increases its girth prodigiously. A second Park Slope debutante was Miss Winifred Leeming, daughter of Thomas L. Leeming, whose "coming out" was one of the chief events of Wednesday. Miss Leeming's reception was given by Mrs. Joseph Leeming, her sister-in-law, resident at 492 Fourth street. Pink was the color of this debut, pink mermet roses being charmingly used. The debutante wore a gown of soft white silk with a Chou of blue panne velvet. Mrs. Leeming's frock was of ivory satin and lace. The receiving party included Miss Carolyn Wurster, Miss Margaret Vanderbilt, Miss Busby, Mrs. T.L. Leeming, Jr., of Brooklyn; Miss Brooks and Mrs. Woodruff Leeming of New York, and Miss Hincks of Andover, Mass. At her
home, 460 Clinton avenue, Miss
Marian Lavinia Keep, daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. J. Lester Keep, was
introduced on Wednesday
afternoon, this being the first
of a series of informal
receptions for first Wednesdays
until Lent given by Mrs. and
Miss Keep.
