who did much to assist her when he was

Mrs. Nathan never mlxses a chance to
speak about this hobby of hers, either be

recipe for a good speech, from her own
lips:
"I can't speak in platitudes. I can't dls-

some trite subject like 'Peace,' for ex
ample. But when something arouses my
aflger or my pique; when I hear something
not quite Just or something not quite true;
, when I hear something- humorous; when
my combatlveness is arousedthen I can
say something."

Newest Fad In Gems.
In gems, aa in everything else, there are
fads, saya Leslie's Weekly, and the newest
fad in precious stones is the tourmaline.
Unless you are a Jeweler, or for some other
reason have a special knowledge, you will
ask, probably, "What is tourmaline?"
It is a aeml-precloua atone and one of
the most beautiful that come out of the
ground. It Is a rival of the ruby in color,
but wears much better, approaching the
diamond in hardness. Unlike the ruby,
however, the tourmaline has the greatest
variety of tints of any gem. Its various
epecimens have shades of black, white,
green, yellow, red and pink. Borne of the
specimens of the gem are like emeralds,
others have the yellow luster of the topas,
and red tourmalines are aometimes sold as
rubles. The "new" gem is used in much
the aame manner as, for instance, a ruby.
The leading Jewelry stores of New York
are showing rings and pendants in which
tourmalines with smaller borders of dia
monds are used.
In addition to their color, tourmalines are
attractive pn account of their" pure, trans

Men Not Wanted.
"No men clerka need apply." This dictum
haa gone forth from three great insurance
oompanlea, the largest employers of clerks
ln New Kork City, who ln the last few
years have been filling their offices with
young women accountants, bookkeepers,
copyists', etc. So satisfactory have the
women proved In every clerical capacity
that male clerka are not wanted any moro.
Not only have most of the leading life in
aurance companies gone in for the wbman
clerk, but business houses, large and small,
up and downtown, are employing women ln
positions once considered as lying exclu
sively within the sphere of the young man.
The male clerk Is being forced out. Hla
field Is narrowing year by year. Employers
recognize 'fh Is fact and admit lt; but they
suggest no alternative, no remedy. It all
evolves simply into this proposition: A
woman la Just as ekllfuil aa a man clerk
and more ao ln many Instances. As a gen
eral rule ahe ia more careful, more' faith
ful, more honest and she -doesn't drink.
Tou hear- auch a statement aa thla wher
ever women are employed; and a attll
greater reason for employing clerks of the
fair aex la given they will work for much
lesa money. After all, that ia the main
thing.
The Debntante Season.
Debutantes are unusually plentiful this
season, reports the New Tork Gun. What
is more, debutante teas, have taken a new
lease of life and seem to be highly favored
by men. Thla la contrary to the predlctiona
made a few years ago, when lt waa de
clared that the debutante tea had had its
day.
At that time other meana were sought
to Introduce young women to society, and
debutantea aaid with dignity. "No, I am
not going to have a formal coming out.
Mamma thlnka It la more elegant for me
simply to go about with her and receive
informally with her on her daye at home.
Of course In this way all my frlenda will
know I am out."
In Jleu of the tea aome girls were
launched by the medium of a dinner danoe,
others at a ball given ln their honor. But
ln their secret souls they all longed for
the debutante tea with its crush of young,
old and middle aged persons of much social
importance; Its heaps of flowers and Its
adulation, enough of it to turn the wisest
girl's head for the rest of her life.
It is generally agreed that at a tea of
this sort there must be anywhere from six
to sixteen assistants, friends of the bud.
none of whom has been cut more than a
few montha. ' A last winter's debutant,
they, say. Is not eligible. With that rule
ln view the coming buds have carefully
oooipared dates, planning their Inaugural
teas so that each may have the support of
her nearest friends.
At a reception a few days ago the de
butante waa assisted by ten young woman,
all but two of whom received with her ln
the front drawing room. They wore gowns
of different colore, the debutante only
wearing white. ,
The moat approved gown for the debu

ered, liberty satin, novelty silk 'and chiffon
velvet are used. They cost muoh less than
the other materials mentioned and are more
durable. If lesa captivating.
In any case the material must be white,
trimmed with white or silver. An excep
tion to this rule, however, was a Brussels
net costume seen the other day on a debu
tante, the flounces and bodice of which
were embroidered with tiny pink rose
buds. The custom of sending flowers to a debu
tante Is carried to greater proportions than
ever this year. They come from the debu
tante's feminine frlenda aa well aa from
her masculine admirera. And the man who
geta an invitation to a debutante tea and
falls to acknowledge lt with a few cut
flowers, at least, lays himself open to the
Imputation of being Ignorant of what the
polite conventions require on such occa
sions or of being dead broke with his credit
at his florist's at the zero mark.
The menu at a debutante tea of the
most fashionable class is more substantial
than might be expected. Cakes and tea
and chocolate and bonbons are only the
trimmings. Two hot dishes at least are
included and In many cases claret punch
and champagne cup are added to the soft
drinks.
The custom1 of following her tea with a
large dance has been abandoned by thla
season's debutante. On the other hand, the
custom of dining afterward the receiving
party and an equal number of young men.
is more popular than ever, most debutantea
voting lt to be the jolllest feature of the
day.
The hour for this dinner, given of oourse
by the debutantea mother, la I o'clock,
which allows the receiving party a half
hour's rest before the extra dinner guests
arrive.
