Since her official launching on the bubbly high seas of society last August at a Newport ball for 700, Marguerite has been presented at the Tuxedo Autumn Ball, the Grosvenor, the First Junior Assembly, is yet to be introduced at the Debutante Cotillion and Christmas Ball, the Second Junior Assembly and the International Ball. Fed to the décolletage with the standard dress for such affairs, Maverick Marguerite set Manhattan lorgnettes snapping when she appeared at the Imperial Ball...
