What R i thlrly longIng o\'ery Bchool gIrl
. ha for thal mys.orlous bEIng "oul , " which
means such magnifcent privhlegoB and ius.
lIllUes , and , yet after the first roses c the
4 ? comIng out tea have faded , after the first
blushes have cooled a bit , and that first
wild beating of the excited young heart
has been n little sUled , n god many girls
. who are out this winter , and , 01 other girls
hue found before them , thAt the'dcbutante
has her trials and perplexities , too. Such n
Itt I of them a there seem to hot One nenr
SUsp2ctod1 for example , while one was n
mere snip of a school girl that Il waR goIng
to bo such R harl , thing to find conversation.
In dreams of future balls and dinner parties
that were Indulged In when one should have
been studying grammar one always Imaglncd
i ' cno's self conversing with tim airy brilliancy
cf one of the Iluchoss' blonde and witty
heroines or preserving one of those coldly
, , fascuUng slrnces that In novels always
i , ( ) rove so IrresIstIble to the very best parU In
t the Iook , And flow 10 and Iehohl I one
of those IJroud silences Is InIulgCI , In one's
r partner promptly excuses himself nnl , never
comes back for another dance the whole evening .
, lng , and rn attempt , at airy badInage gen-
eraly results In covering one's head In the
cold gray light of the morning after the ball
and squirmIng In repentant anguish at the
. lilly . vapid s0111 ( that persiflage has repeated -
peted to one's self at this unchcerful hour.
There once was a girl who carried the
story of thIs particular form of wretched-
: JHA to n young married friend who though
she had the fnest baby In the world , could
; yet remember with perfect ease her own
debut four years before. ,
, , "Yes , Indeed sahl the friend , cheerful .
"I remember quite well all the silly things )
I . said. I often cried over them and felt I
could never look the people who hal , Istenee
to them In the face again. Dut I'l tel you
what-things that would sound fearfully
silly In n person of m ) age , m fearful
wIth a baby and all . are just thought to he
r deliciously Innocent and gIrlish In a debu.
tante. Pink cheeks and
{ dimples carry off so
much. After all , one must learn to talk . and
practice Is the only way 10 learn. One must .
make mistakes at first : you wIll Improve
every day : don't let yourself be discouraged : :
your blunders don't sound half so bad to
: others ns they do to you. " After which that
. , Ilartcuar ! debutante went away comforted.
Thero's another PerplexIty the debutltr (
: Is going to be confronted with , all that's
t. the secret of what makes popularity. She
sees that pretty girls and cever : girls and
rich girls all have excellent chances to be-
. gin with , hut that even those wIth all these
ni
things In their favor don't Invariably make
a success , whIle occasionally girls who
aren't really pretty . nor witty at all , nor
rich either , come In and make R tremendous
t success of It rIght over the heads of girls
; with the qualities they lack She wants to
know ] why that Is. Well . the Iest way to
: find out Is to ask one of the men who dance
t , with that sort of R girl as many times as
she will say yes durIng the evening.
"What do you see In Mary Jones ? " you
lay. "She's not pretty , and she's not very
g clever. "
Thea the young man will look at you as
I . If he suspected you were not only bad tempered -
. pored , but a Ito jealous of Mary as well .
S , ii- and answer : "Oh , sbe's not a beauty , per-
haps , but sho's an awfully attractive looking
I : girl" ' , , don't yoU think . IO ? und 100klnJ
' such a , good sort. . , '
, . Td when you , come to analyze what "a
. good sort" means you'l find that I Implies
t. " Mary Jone , Is 10ly and gay and good temper -
per d. 'and' ' > crmseffsh about 'trifles. She
k doesn't say nasty things about other gIrls :
( she Is willing to leI everybody share In her
? fun she never pllys any little mean oclal
i trick : she Is nol taken up with herself aU
. , the while , and she Is honest , genuIne , frank
and kindly. She Is the girl who likes to
i , talk to old gentlemen tD ghvo them the
pleasure of a bit. of gvo tle
bIt gay gossip with a fresh L
t. r young girl : she takes time to be civil to the I
. old ladles , shin sympathizEs with bashful
. girls younger than herself and Is good between I
; whiles to awkward boys. She doesn't dangle
, about In hot rooms all day munching bon
bona . 4.nhl rcaln ! novels but Is full of Interests -
toccata and occupations , and has the buoyancy
slut vigor or high health and ' overflowing
4 Bplrlt The important part Is that she
to sn't pretend to be any of these things , ,
t o but realy Is what she seems to be. The ;
. dehiutante wl learn In time . as every enc
, . . does leain , that while It Is very easy to ;
pretend I Is very difcult to deceIve people I
! with . Our friends .
wih pretegsts. frends all know our
. r al characters pretty well , and the way to
, snake people think wo are good tempered and I
; : kindly Is to be cod tempered and kIndly. ! .
I
-
. Another larson the pretty debutante Is ] ear-
Ing while she flits about ball
whie fls bal rooms like a
I frisky young butterfly Is the lesson of adapta- :
r bihity. A little experlen teaches her that
: even though she was the cleverest girl In
! school and the valedictorIan of her class II Is
' best nol to talk philosophy or discuss serious
problems between the figures In the cotillon.
She will have plenty of proper occasions to
"how what she know , but In the bal room
such topics are heavy " ! Il unsuitable ] , and she
t , had much better content herself wIth a merry .
I give and take or nonsense and nothings , ao
that nothIng I. losl when the dance comes to C
break la upon the' sentence. Or If the debutante -
* . tenth happens to be of the purely butterfly
order or mnd : she will soon learn when she C
. t , chances to sit besIde some grave elderly man I
at dinner that though her innocent chaler
' may amuse him for the moment he will easily .
. tire of It , and her belt plan will be to listen
. to him instead lie will be sure to enjoy lsten tnle-
, lug to I paIr of Irlh. young eyes that glva
respectful attention to what he says
, There Is realy , when one comes to thInk of
. It , no end of
II thing that this apparently care x
apparenty
free girl debutante must bo busy with learn-
Ing. One Is to drop mosl of her school. girl ' !
t.4 llang and be rather more careful with her
wih
sonhnces. Another Is to steer carefully be-
; twecn the Ilanger of Ielng 1 " carefuly "
, . or a tiresome young prig. 'fa lear that notes C
must be answered at once and all engage
g meats carefully kept even I they happen not
? to be amusing ones . She must learn , too the
hard lelson of governing her tongue , and be. :
lag discreet In her talk , lest she alienate I
friends and get herel Into dllculles , which : I
' i- , . i perhaps , the ( most cllrull lesson of all .
Then there Is the lea r\ ' be learned of not
L ooklng ] bored every tIm . ulD feels the sensa -
. ton , lest one wound the feelings of khlly snsa-
people who are unlucky enough tD be dull ,
S r I wl be necessary to teach herself how dul ;
rid of bores without being rude , which Is a x
"hole art In itself , and again how to meet ai 1
, - ImperlnenC wIth dIgnIty. and hew to re .
j have the shyness of timid people wIth her
. own calm confidence . Let th , debutante : never
. think thul lessons ended with the closing of r
- II . the school . room door : indeed , now that she !
, / " I gay young woman In society they are reallI
jut beginning , and wil take more study anl
arb far more difcult to lear than any she
I ever found In books .
