In pllmlh'e days soclet belies 18 years of .
ago claimed as their natural heritage 1 ino
i nopoly of all gay and frolicsome amusements
Their mothers , In quiet gowns , chaperonell
the balls and parties where their beribboned
daughter held sway. Now , the mothers , In
diamonds nnl decollete gowns arc
j the family nll deoleto
" . the domlnsnt feature of alt social functions. I

L anll go about with her some.
I change ! A fashionable young woman Is
brought out under the astute guidance of a
olt
I mother who Is herself a lender anll belle In the
t sot to wl.lch she introduces her daughter.
t The advantage Is Pateilt. This same
i debutante will not have to rely entirely on
her own ! wi to become a success for the

' tactfully socal
daughter may ignorantly make.
F At the oiera and al the assembles In New
York I Is Mrs. ParmI Stevens , Mrs. William
V Astor , Mrs. Ogden and Mrs. Wilson whose
1 appearance Is commented on In drawing room
, talk.
American married women who have long
been voluntarily "shelved" In society , are here
frequently astonished to thud themselves lead-
ers of social gaieties In Paris and I.ondou. In
. fact , a handsome woman confessed to posl-
Live giddiness In Paris last season , owing
largely to her Immatre 40 years , while the
. . other women In social life were upwards of
70. In that festive city Mrs. I'el Is now the
acknowledged leader In the American colony
acmowledgell over whose head the allotted
I three score years and ten have slipped : each
one of these "ilaugliters of Time" seeming to
leave only the most gracious gif as I
passed.
Since Mrs. Ogden pohtively condemned the
thrcaomeuiess of pUblc balls . women arc
lresomencs .
claiming the privilege of being hostesses
oftcner than patrone1ses. They give dinners i
dances amI musicales
t more freuenly than d3ces ,
Instead of banquets.
Dinner giving crduices to clever conver-
saton , an art ( lint has lore attention paid to
, I this season than formerly for the very
V reason hint society Is receiving multiple reInforcements -
: . Inforcements from the PeoPle who have
V reached a contemplative ege. Invitations for
V V fifteen dinners have been Issued In the last I
V week , each of them given by and for some
V woman whos ripe years should yleM them
the Ialm to leallershlp.
Mrs. Stamford \Vhtte . Mrs. Lawrence Hut-
V ton , Mrs Hchard Watson Gilder , and many
other women of that clu/mlng cult , decided
to glvo a series of dances durIng the monlh.
V the membership almost exclusively confined
' ti nn age beyond the reach of the debutante.
A set of musicales at a famous hotel are In
V order the projectors being women whose
. daughters arc "buds" at the Sherry dancing
classes ; and select card parties made up of
casses
. gentle confessors to hdf I century of years
\ are ranked as social events.
This move for the maintenance of mIddle
V aged society leaders seems liniite1 as yet , to
t a few large cllies New Yorlt and . , Boston appear -
- pear as the ( advance guard but the lesser
,
. cities are slowly following. TheIr mature
' matrons feel somewhat shy about donning a
V V hail gown and stepping confidently to an
affair where they appear to contest their
VV % daughter's popularlly. They arc sure , how-
. ever , to fall In sooner or later.
