plan will be TO listen TO him instead. He
will be sure to enjoy talking to pair of
bright young eyes that give respectful at
tention to what he says.
There is really, when one comes to
thi k of it, no end of things that this
apparently care-free girl debutante must
be busy with learning. O1e is to drop
most of her schoolgirl slang and be ia Their
more careful with her sentences. Another
is to steer carefully between the danger of
being a ''giddy gusher" or tiresome
young prig. To learn that notes must be
answered at once and all engagements
carefully kept, even if they happen not to
be amusing ones. She must learn, too. the
hard lesson of governing her tongue and
being discreet in her talk, lest she
ALLEVIATE friends and get herself into
difficulties, which is, perhaps, the
most difficult lesson of all Then
there is the lesson to be learned of not
looking bored every time one feels the
sensation, lest one wound the feelings of
kindly PEG pie who are unlucky enough TO
be dull. 1t will be necessary to teach her
self how 10 be rid of bores without being
rude, which is a whole art in itself, and
again how to meet all impertinences with
dignity, and how tn relieve the shyness of
timid people with her own calm confidence.
Let the debutaDte never think that lessons
ended with the closing of the schoOlrOom
door; indeed, now that she j. gay young
woman in society they are really just be-
ginning, and will take nj ore study and are
far more difficult 10 learn than any she
ever found in books. E. 3. w.

although most of them had been born on

How Young Girls Long to

WARNING FOR TRIUMPHS.
They Little Imagine the Trials

Store.

What a thirsty longing every schoolgi ri
has for that mysterious being "out," which
means such magnificent privileges and
possibilities, and yet after the first roses of
the cOming-Out tea have faded, after the
first bushes have cooled bit, and that
first wild beating of the excited young
heart has been little stiled, good many
girls who are out this winter find, as other
girls have found before them, that the
debutante has her trials and perplexities,
too. Such lot of them as there seems to
be! One never expected. for example,
while one was mere snip of schoolgirls
that it was going TO be such hard thing
TO find conversation. In dreams of future
balls and dinner parties that were in
dulged in when one should have been
studying grammar one always imagined
oneself cOnversing with the airy bril-
liancy of one of the Duchess blonde and
witty heroines or preserving one of those
coldly fascinating silences that in novels
