Debutantes
Return to
Fashion
By GABBY BETA YUS.
□ABBY is holding her breath. It
may be that after a lapse of a
year debutantes may come Into
fashion again. Not that they have
ever really been out. except In
Omaha, but lust that due to stage
fright, and a lack of eupport among
the girls who were possibilities we
have been denied the pleasure of
watching these young things make a
formal social bow.
Last year, after a false start or
two, the debutante rumor died down,
and a more or less dull season result
ed. The sentence, "Well, my dear,
she's been dashing around socially
for the last few years, and It would
be ridiculous to bring ber out now
Wouldn't It?" was the one that
clinched Its death warrant.
Of course the dear young things
have been murmuring bids over the
bridge tables and flinging an eager
shoulder in the maze of the dance
for lo these many seasons, hut even
in the good old days when sub debs
crept stealthily about till they were
"brought out." their existence was
known, and they couldn't have been
kept away from all prying eyes.
Gabby is the more hopeful because
this year a particularly enterprising
set of girls are horns from school.
Margaret Eastman. Josephine Schur
man. Virginia Barker, Cornelia
Baum, Catherine Cartnn and many
others are determined that their first
season home won't be the frost they
heard last one was
Yes, wo may have our debutantes!
Gabby repeats!
□ MR world do move! Yesterday
careful householders with love
ly linen* which must he laun
dered with anxious car# watched
their neighbors' chimneys for aoots
and smudge* that might smudge thalr
precious whiteness.
Today Gabby hear# Mra. George
Prlnx bemoaning th# fact that her
most exquisite napary hna had its
perfection aolled while on the line
by a low swinging mall plan* drip
ping motor oil In passing
□ARBY hardly knowe why ehn
Includes this one—there Isn't
any moral Perhaps |t'» a re
venge on the familiar bit of adver
tising we eee *o often wherein the
weery wag* slave ssys bumptiously
"I maintain my opinion," to be crush
*d by th* npt sally of- th# controllar
of hla destinies with "No, you retain
your opinion and loaa your Job.”
Of couraa, such anappy repartee 1*
quite th* thing between master and
man In a dictionary, hut methlnka thla
reads about as well: -
A young business woman from real
life plead with the collegiate Klmon
Regies who had Just been put over
her In her dally tolling*. "I hav* to
go at 12 loduy, Mr. X," she snld
"Have to,” said he, mustache btlst
ling like the hack of an outraged
kitten, "(fan I? you must mean!"
"Oh, I beg your pardon, but 1 don't.
May IT I mean.'1
