sicns, and have been we'll varied. The
quantity Of invitations sent broadcast the
past few days would indicate that the
pace already set would be kept up for
some time to come, and the probabilities
are that the elusive period known as a

The debutantes are hanging together In
pretty nearly all their entertainments, so
that if one is seen the rest are in the same
neighborhood. There is not shadow OF
a doubt but that these interesting young

brilliant futures are being predicted for
them. One who is already quite the toast
has, TO use the language of the day, been
spoken for by an enormously rlch Sultor
and great are the expectations in conse-
Quence. These and other delicious and per-
fectly harmless bits of gossip which are
Chatted about the tea tables, add consider
able zest to the prospects of the girls haV-
irg the good time which is their due. In
the bunch of buds presented the past week
were Miss Clagett, Miss Hagner, Miss
Ramsey, ard today will come Miss Justine

Jams as great as any which occurred last
winter were noticeable the past week at
several of the teas, and people are be-
ginning to think that the ladies will either
have to wear smaller sleeves or else not
accept all their invitations. The big
sleeves, which are stiffened out with buck
ram until they present as formidable an
obstacle III passing your nelSnDOr IN
crowded room as the tall hat obstructs
your vision at the theater, are really
menace to bric-a-brac, and several times
last week nearly caused the setting on
fire of houses where entertainments We're
in progress. One lady passing by a lamp
on a table brushed the silk shade a little
awry, and along came another pushed by
some one behind her, who upset the whole
business, and only for the expeditions
