I've had such an interesting week makinp the rounds of the many par ties that are being given by the Younger Generation. The children were all so adorable in their dainty little party frocks, bedecked in ribbons, their tiny socks snupgling down into pretty lit Ho boots. Cunning little hats and coats of every conceivable style wore in evi dence at every affair I attended. I am so enthusiastic about some of the (dder girls' dresses I must describe a few of them that were the very latest in design and color.
