THE OMAITA DAIiY BEE : SUNDAY , DEOKMBEIl 2 , 180-1. SOCIETY IN A MAD WHIRL Uinta for Mammas , with Daughters to Bo Introduced to Social Life , DEBUT OF GERTRUDE RUTG1RS RINGWAL1 IIr § . Triiinnn IJucU intcrt. ; lm fur llor Duuclitcr 'Iho Di'uojr I.iinclienu Mem- ctuy The Ititrtti llniicliii ; 1'iirly Doing ! of the 8nell < . At this season nil the pencil-cheeked , curly- Leaded girls utio have by tome myslcr.ous liroceib during Hie summer ceased to bo children nnd become all at once young women arD making tlielr bow to the social v.-orld. They era anr.ouiiclng , not In no many words , but by tlio most bewitching Bmllcg , that they are now old enough to ship for the voyacu of life If a good mate IB to be had to accompany them. It la a matter of great excitement utul Intense - tense Interest to tit ? ilrln ; themiclvcs. It Is a matter of even more serious moment to their mother * , for the way In which a girl get * started In life Is likely to Influence all her future. Of course Mies Frisky Featherhead - head Is Infinitely more taken up with the fit of her eon n and the number of her bouquets than with any serlotu views about the future , which Is natural ami proper enough at her age , hut sensible , thoughtful mammn has , for tunately for Mlts Featherhead , a somewhat older and dlscreetor head 'on her shoulders and means that her dimpled baby , suilJcnly shot up Into a stately young lady , shall profit by her mother's wisdom and experience. To begin with , If It Is In any way possible she will glvu Dimples a coming out tea. There arc lots of Indolent mothers who think It IRIX trouble for the daughter to make her fir.it formal appearance In thu social world at some one else's party , or at some opening ball of the ica&on. but that arises generally from a selllsli reluctance to takn trouble , turn the house upside down and have a "function. " Nothing can be moro unwise. A coming out tea Is , after all , no such great matter the furniture pushed out of the way , Borne flowers hqre and there , cards to all OMO'S old friends , ten , chocolate , bouillon , sandwiches , cakes , Icea and bon bens In the dining room , half a dozen of her girl friends In smart frocks to 'help ' receive ( they may bs called upon to be bridesmaids later ) and little blushing , smiling Frisky at the door beside mamma , with a bouquet as b'g as her self In one hand and half a dozen more piled on the table behind her. It gives her dig nity and Importance at once In the eyes of all the other girls ; mammas who are enter taining for their own daughters cannot Ig- lioro her existence when there Is a formal presentation like this , us they may very pos sibly do when a girl slips Into society un noticed and unheralded. Old fr ends who are not In the way cf going to young folks' balls are pleased and flattered to have the young maid presented to them In due form In hei own house , and ore thereby Inclined to re gard her amiably , to be "to her fault a little blind , to bo to heir charms exceeding kind. " Thus she starts fair with a clientele of friends and acquaintances Instead of having the whole lonely rjad to travel uphill. Once debutante Is nicely launched. It still remains in mamma's hands to see that the voyage Is made easy , wise mamma doesn't ecold Frisky for rushing Into undesirable In timacies. She takes Itho more , sensible course of Inviting desirable Intimates to her house ro often that friendships arise from mcro propinquity. All the nice girls grow to know In tlmo that Frlsky's mother has n warm welcome for them , Is Interested In all their fun and their placs. and will take the troubls to help In both. So that before the thoughtless young daughter realizes It she has formed her friendships and associates In afo quarters. Moreover , a debutante with Euch a wlso mother Is learning all this while the. art of being a hostess , with all the graces nnd sweetness of character and of manner which being a charming 'hostess Insures For even If the homo Is a little narrow and money not very abundant , yet the hospitality snoUabatedInstead of "merely ordering In delicacies with no regard for the subse quent bills , mamma shows debuntante how tc muko dainty dishes with her own hands , and thus bake , Incidentally , her first lessons In housewifery ; how to make a handful ol autumn leaves and a few ferns decorate a table as much as n great set pleco from the florist , and how much moro delightful frolic some llttlo dinners and luncheons of three or four courses seasoned with merriment are than dull feasts whcro canvasback and ter rapin are the only attractions. Still another duty of the debutante's mamma Is to Impress by example and precepl the duty of universal courtesy. No wist mother will leave her little maid to frisk away all her days In selfish amusements She will toke her along when she goes herso'.l to call on the older people. She will see thai her child learns to appreciate the Intelli gence , the dignity and charm of people inaturer than herself , and that she alsc learns that sweetest of all virtues deference She will teach her that the sweet path to the winning of love Is carefulness In trifles. Tht girl who remembers always to Inquire with kind Interest after an acquaintance who It sick or suffering , and does not think It toe much trouble to go with a book or a hand. ful of flowers as a little token that the In terest she expresses Is real , who remembers to bo glad with others' good fortune , to re call birthdays , write at once In answer tt cotes , to make friends with the babies , and sli down for a lltte ! talk with the old ladles. Is gilne to be a success In her social world whether she be plain or pretty , witty or not Lastly , perhaps most Important of all , Is ths attitude of the debutante's mother to the young men. It is far too common for tht carelets , lazy parent to launch the daughtei and then leave her to settle her relations with men for herself , which In as unwlso as anything can well be. If the girl thu : neglected falls to attract admirers the sel fish mother either Is Impatient with her fall ure or elsa rails Indiscriminately at the sel fl.hness and stupidity of the modern younj man. If. on the other hand , the prettj daughter entangles her affections and makes n bad marriage , then the same selfish mothei rails at the perversity Of girls. The wls < mamma does neither ; she takes pains fron the very first to bo niceto the nice younf man ; she doea not Insist upon her daughters Knowing only Sunday school superintendents tout she sees that the men asked to tin nouse are gentlemen , and moreover , that thej are asked often and that the house Is madi agreeable for them when they come. Hei daughter Is not thrown at their beads ; thej nnd p enty of other girls there , pretty girl : nnd pleat-ant ones , and finding it a charm Ins. cheerful house they come often , ane the girls who , merely seen In a ball roan would never have caught their careless eye prove to be witty and Jolly and a "gom sort. ' and they take the pains to bo courteou1 at balls , remembering what good times the' at.hcr home- ° ver and eve : .
