The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1895-10-13

The retrospective summer girl as she
lazily sits thinking over her summers
experience probably wonders If it has
been worth while: if her conquests have
been many and entertaining. Then she
feels that all the martyrdom in the hands
of her dressmakers, all the generosity of
her overworked papa and all the incon-
venience of summer resort life can be
accepted for the sake of triumphant
experience, satisfying to her coquette-
like nature. She will have her dressing
tale adorned with souvenirs of the dear
boys. Her walls will be hung with pho-
tographs Of the amateur ball players and
knickerbocker clad youths and their
wheels She will await with interest the
arrival of the mail and will dispassion-
ately read the sentimental epstles Of
the aforesaid conquests. Such Is many
girls experience of everyday life. They
read the superficial books of the day and
they talk of them in superficial manner
and ifvyou ask them how they can waste
their mind and brains on unsubstantiali-
ties they reply that anything heavier
would not suit the men they associate
with. Then why associate with such
men? Because they are the only kind2
OF course not; but because they are the
most numerous kind. whether from
choice or circumstances they themselves
best know The would-be belle has TO
put up with many Inconvenience, but
she need not let her mind grow up in
weeds.
Then there is the other type Of summer
girl, who had her wardrobe replenished
with the loveliest, daintiest fabrications;
with organizes. mulls, the stylish duck
suits and parasols to match each suit
and picturesque hats of shapes, shades
and styles innumerable. If land we say
It reluctantly if she has not as innu-
merable scalps on her belt then what
failure has her summer been. Far bet
ter she thinks if she had spent the
amount of the summer outfit in pursuing
her taste for music or her talent for
painting, or whatever she cares for. Then
she would have had something definite
to bring home in the fall. She would
have a deeper and keener interest in the
days and would realize that they brought
with them realities instead OF shadows.
And-but all the girls know al TINS; ana ana
if they don't know il now, they Will hnd
ii out soon enough, that they must not
be willing to remain on an unprogres-
siye level with their unambitiors friends,
but they must independently take the
lead for a more intellectual career.
Now that the debutante season is APP
proaching and some dozen immature buds
are to be inserted in the boquet oil So
ciety's make up, one wonders how many
will be satisfied with the uncertainty and
the Irregularities that come with lie
given up to society. One wonders why the
Southern girl comes out so soon but there
is no cause TO wonder why she goes back
again so soon. For half the debutantes
find the life disappointment, and after
a year or more of the ceaseless round or
gaiety, they finally give 1t up and marry
$50 much the better, or they turn their
ftrr, 60 lrru 4 a
or profession. Now, why can't the girls
do this first, then take society in more
moderate degrees after they have made q
beginning in their line Of thought and
work? For instance, how would one of
our Savannah debutantes appear in Pa
risian saloon, where politicians and celeb
rites FIJI the reception rooms Irrespective
OF age. The modern debutante creates for
herself a society more OF the nature or a
school girl holiday, than of a dignified as
semby, which custom has handed down
from our ancestors. But the sight OF the
fresh-faced debutante, with her naive and
timid manner, her sweet ineXperlence ana
her genuine enthusiasm are always a
pleasure to the society habitue of years
standing. All want to pay court to the
new queens, and they are taken cordially
by the hand and placed upon the Tickle
throne, while older and wiser heads ad-
mire their fleeting success, and wonder
how longi But, long be their reign o.
happinessl and here's a God bless you,
to the incoming debutante.
