by HELEN REYNOLDS Ralph Waldo Emerson once made the sage remark, "Society is a wave. The wave moves onward, but the water of which it is composed does not". 1940 with its lovely parties is but a memory now-1941 is on the calendar and the "wave" goes on. What sweeter way to begin life in a new year than the way, Mrs. M. C. Taylor chose; that of welcoming her many friends to a housewarming in her attractive new Florida home New Year's Eve. More than one hundred called to greet their hostess and her guests of honor, the much feted Dr. and Mrs. John Severy Hibben. Mrs. Taylor wore a tea gown of aqua crepe, orchid corsage. Her living room a bower of flowers . . . Glimpsed-Mrs. Bradbury Barnes in a stunning white and black accordian pleated dinner frock . . . Mrs. Frank Spain in gold cloth . . . Mrs. S.
