No Debut for a Youn.g Lady, No Curtsey for a Princess Bv KAY ROSS WHITE PLAINS— Parents or one of our young ladies of Westchester who is slat ed to make her debut this winter are amused but disappointed at their daughter's ultimatum. Some dog shows and a horse show will conflict with the time she'd have to spend in her debut social events. So she's refused to make her bow this winter. Maybe next she promised, but not now. On top of that, she is determ ined to make the dean's list first semester at college, so will have no time for weekends at homfc at parties. What's the young generation coming to! Ever try to make a very proper ana graceful curtsey? Once we asked a bishop to give us private lessons in making a curtsey. After a half hour and uncounted at tempts on our part, the bishop kindly told us to forget the whole thing and just be polite. Mrs. Frank L. Walton and Mrs. Knsten Knstensen of Yonkers have been freed of all such wor ries about graceful curtsies when they are introduced to Princess Beatrix of Holland on Sunday aft ernoon, Sept. 13. \No curtsies,\ the Princess's representative told Mr. Walton, Yonkers historian who is chief of the Yonkers ceremonies, when Princess Beatrix steps from her car to the little green park at the foot of Larkin Plaza to dedicate a historic plaque. Mrs. Walton and Mrs. Kristen- sen, as wife of Yonkers' mayor, will be the only Yonkers women who come in direct contact with the young Dutch princess And that will be only as they are in troduced by Mr. Walton as they stand with their husbands beside the plaque for the official and for mal welcome Another real princess will take part in the Sunday events in Yon kers but she will not meet Prin cess Beatrix though her people made up the first welcoming party to the Dutch to Westchester shores. She is a real, authentic Indian princess, of the Mohawk tribe from up near Buffalo. Princess Wantaghtolo will take part in the canoe regatta on the Hudson and late in the afternoon will take part m didicating a second histor ic plaque to be placed in tarkin Plaza. But she will not meet Prin cess Beatrix. Which is probably just as well for history suggests that it was an Indian war party of braves who formed the first committee of welcome to the Dutch in America. meeting. The first general meet ing of the Westchester chapter will be held Sept. 22 at the home of Mrs. James E. Swain Jr., in Stratford Rd., Mamaroneck Town, at 1:30. Assisting hostesses will be Mrs. William H. Shehadi, Mrs. Louis P. Schmit and Mrs. F. Jack Mankey of Bronxville. A Bedford woman is helping with arrangements for the Half Moon Ball—named for Henry Hud son's ship, the Half Moon, natural ly—to be staged aboard the new Rotterdam, flagship of the Hol land-American Line, Sept. 16. Mrs. George Zauderer is busy these days, helping with plans for the gala on-board party. This is the ship's maiden voyage to New York so there will be extra in terest in the ball. The affair is a benefit with' the Travelers Aid Society of New York being on the receiving end. By way of keeping in tune with the prevailing theme these days, they say the party will commemorate the 350th anniversary of the voy age up the Hudson River by Hud son's Half Moon.

KATONAH— The late summer exhibition of Coptic Art. now on view at the Katonah Gallery, will continue through Sept. 22. Obtained through the cooperation of the Florence and Fred Olsen Foundation, tne exhibition will journey to Pitts burgh, to open in early October, at tne Cahegie Institue. Upon con clusion of its country-wide tour, Yale University becomes the per manent home of this unusual ma terial. To those wishing to contin ue their study of Coptic Art, the coming season at the Metropolitan Museum of Art will offer such an opportunity, since one of the fea tures planned is an exhibition of Coptic Art. /This sequence provides a commentary on the oft-repeated timeliness of the exhibitions at the Katonah Gallery, in their general art interest. To mention but a few calender co-incidences: Sculptu v of Dons Caesar and Abstractions of Mar- iska Karasz were shown in Katon ah prior to their New York presen tation; 19th Century Still Life Paintings (from the Paul Magriel Collection) appeared in Katonah before their Metropolitan Museum sponsorship; exhibition of The Eight appeared at the same time in New York City and 1 in Katonah The work of John Mann and of Ben Shahn in Katonah, coincid ed with their exhibition in New York City; Jacques Lipchitz' sculp ture and drawings appeared m Katonah simultaneously with ap pearances in Amsterdam and Pa ns: the showing of French im pressionists was similarly closely timed. International Style \What is Coptic Art\ has been an oft repeated question in the Ka tonah Gallery during the recent weeks. Previously little known to the general public, the present TWO MORE NEEDED YONKERS — Of more than a thousand teaching positions at pub lic schools only two need to be fill ed before school opens on Sept 14.

But the study of the weavings themsehJes gives much illumination to the way of life of the Copts. This insight, to colorful, sttnkingly vigo/ous and decorative material of great va riety, carries the viewer to a dis tant time whose art expression has a particular relevance to the pres ent as well as to earlier centuries. Originally applied to the early Egyptians, the term Coptic has come to mean the designation of a style, a style having many ele ments common to Romanesque art and one of value in a study of early medieval art It is in fact, part of an international style com mon throughout the Mediterranean area, of its time. These monk woven textiles, of the Copts, reveal vividly not only what people wore, but how they lived and what they thought. The large tunic incorporates many of these elements, described as \Cop tic Tunic complete with epaulettes and four clavis design in purple wool and undyed linen. The clas sical motifs indicate a date of the IV century A.D.\ The quality of the weaving shows a wide diverg ence of both taste and skill. The designs, as in those of the cross, where areas of red, blue, yellow, breen and: black may represent a cross with jewels in a setting of precious metal, reveal the religious and clutural background of the age, and testify to the constant movement to and fro of people and ideas from one part tp another INSPECTING PLANS for the Con Edison nuclear energy plant at Indian Point are, left to right Supervisor John H.
