TITE OMAHA DAITjY HEKi SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1002. SOCIETY DIVIDES OX A WORD Confusion Ari'.a Over Application of tin Designation of E.ttitante. PRESENT SET INSISTS ON ITS RIGHTS Three Separate and nlntlnrt okle (lob, Whlrh Kipeet to Sole Delicate Point Inrolved la the DUpate. Probably no term ti heard more fre quently In society Just at present and cer tainly none that I more confusing than the word "debutantes." Of course every body knowa what It means, but there seems to be but comparatively few who know Juat who It means, and here the trouble begins but who shall say where It Is to end? As a matter of fact It Is alwaya a bit con fusing to remember Just where to apply that term during the early part of every aeaaon, but some seasons It Is ao much worse than others that even those who pride themselves upon their ability to meet emerneles have to own that more misunderstanding, embarraasment and even awkwardness hns resulted from a misapplication of this word than from any other source. To begin w'th, lean than a dozen girls In society are, strictly speaking, entitled to that title Just at present, but this fact. Instead of slmplylng, has only complicated matters for last season, less than half that number were Introduced and so eoclety has never left off applying the term "debu tantes" to tho bevy of young women who rame rut the season before. In addition to these there are the girls who, with the brides of the past two seasons, were buds not long ago, but who have fallen In with the younger set because of that little ex cluslvenoas that young married people will assume. As a result of nil this society has cm. to be divided up Into a dozen or mora lit tle "sets" that. In spite of themselves, will mix up until there Is really little distinc tion save In name. There are at present three cooking clubs. first there Is the Cooking club. Its members are almost all married now, and though there are those In society who say there was an organiza tion of this name previous to this one. It Is disbanded now, and these young matrons hold undisputed possession of that title. Then there la the Junior Cooking club, whose members, until this fall, were known as the "debutantes," but recently the young women really entitled to this name have effected an organization and styled themselves the Debutantes' Cooking club, which promises to be the nearest so lution to the difficulty of anything that has yet happened, for they have announced their Initial meeting for New Tear'a day, when they will keep open house during the afternoon. This bit of diplomacy ought to Insure them undisputed and exclusive possession of their duea, for, of course, their reception will be one of the features of the day, and If, after accepting their hospitality, there Is a man In society who ever forgets agntn who the debutantes are, he deserves to suffer the conse quences. Dear Jack: Owing to your absence from the city last week I presume you did not read the Setter from Karolyne In The Sun day Bee, In which she complains of the duality of mankind. ' She presented rather a scathing arraign ment of our sex because of the manners assumed (I say assumed, for from her point of view It must be so." when In society and tha manner In which we conduct our selves whan following the dally routine of our atrenuous life. Perhaps Karolyne will admit that when we are In society we are, for the time being, free from the cares and worries of business and have nothing to think of except to make ourselves as agreeable as we may be' able to our lovely slaters. The next day, when wa are at our offices with many arduous duties con fronting us which require mental labor and effort, we have (except ' In cases where tender feelings may exist) excluded from our minds the same lovely sisters 'who so pleasantly entertained us the evening pre vious. In the rush of the world these days, with our minds occupied with our professions or business, and dollars and cents, we are apt to make Rome blunders of the sort she complains of, which may bo construed aa being willful, but are aa matter of fact lone altogether unconsciously. Karolym aaid a man who, with hjs wife, had entertained her at dinner the evening before bumped Into her as she was coming out of The Bee building and never seemed to realize that an apology would be In order. Now, Jack, I'll wager the cigars that man didn't know whether It was a woman or the doorpost he bumped Into, and In all probability he didn't know he had bumped Into anything at all. The chances are, at that very moment he was engrossed with some deal be had on whereby he could make the price of a new sealskin for his wife or daughter In society. Why, only the other evening I was walk ing leisurely up the street looking at tha Christmas goods In the shop windows and ran right square Into a woman atandlng n the sidewalk. For Karolyne's sake, I am glad to say I had presence of mtnd enough to apologise, but had It been during the rush of the day I dare say I should not hava known whether she was a woman or a lamp post. I will add, also, that ahe did not accept my apology very graciously. She took a bank teller to task, too, be cause he unconsciously let a aterm door wing back In her face as she waa enter ing. Now, if a paying teller la lucky enough to get outside of that same storm door during business hours, It must have been that he was returning from a lunch that he may hava had fifteen minutes to eat, or possibly thirty minutes If It were not a very busy day, and hla mind was Intent upon resuming his duties for the balance of the day. It you want to amok mora cigars, I'll wager he didn't know, Do You Want to Make Somebody Happy? Show them how to save. Give them a home safe Their happy tools at the surprising remits of email con inued savings will help prolong your life. Call or aend anybody to tha bank, leav a dollar a a deposit and tak the bank. It you can't call or Mad, drop us a postal card or telephon ' 1614 and w will dllver tha bank. Whenever tha bank 1 given up th. holder of It gets back th dollar deposited for th bank. The banks are well built ot oxydlxed at eel and andosed in a black leatherette cat. i I ! Woman's Work in Club and Charity In a recent letter to the Ma?a-hi'seus Federation of Women's Cluts, Mrs. O. H. Granger of the Georgia Federation, asked the aid cf that organization In a plan for eata'jllBMrg model schouls In Oeorgla. The letter was rad before the recent elate meeting and the matter referred to the educational committee to device some plan wbreby every club In the Mas sachuaett Federation might assist In so worthy a work. Mrs. 8arah T. 8. Lelghton, chair man of the educational committee, has Issued a copy of Mrs. Granger's letter, to gether with a personal letter to all of the rlub presidents, asking hat their clubs can do to help this work. More than ordi nary Interest l being taken In this plan and Mrs. Lelghton has already received many responses of a substantial character. In 'an address before the Massachusetts Daughters of the American Revolution, dur ing her recent visit to Boston, Mrs. Fair banks, president general of the National organization, dwelt, particularly upon the building of the new Continental hall In Washington. D. C, the site for which has been purchased at Seventeenth and D streets, at a cost of $'0,000. The hall will cost about $300,000. It is to be built en tirely by voluntary contribution and this point Mrs. Fairbanks especielly empha sised Is to be dedicated not only to the men who fought the battles of the revolu tion, but to the women who stayed at home, sowing and reaping the crops and keeping when h passed through that door, there waa a woman within 1,000 miles. Jack, It la not my purpose In writing this to criticise Karolyne, nor her views, because I know you think a great deal of her. , I only want to say a few words In our defense. From her point of view, a man Is only a gentleman when he has to be, and that I don't admit. The next time she meets u In society and feels like laughing In our faces, I Only hope she will give us the bepeflt of a doubt. Talk It over with her the next time you see her, will you? But don't mention my name. Yours, BOB.
