Is TO drape a thin white guaze over a

gloves for evening have a most unac-
countable popularity. as is evinced by the
quantities OF them which are seen at the
opera The date OF the Princeton

Valentine dance. and probably will be SO

From social point Of view. the months
OF January and February are 10 Winter

the chief differences between the two
pairs of gala months being in the motive
for each. The winter pair Is almost

gowns. In summer, however. she goes
away To rest from winter obligations
we'll fulfilled. and sets about TO enjoy
herself. leaving the younger members
of her household to take care OF them
selves.
Just now is the most critical moment
lin many an anxious mammals whole
year. Most of the debutantes OF the sea-
son have been brought out but the pro-
blem of keeping up social interest in those
same buds is as difficult to solve as that
of any advance agent for a coming SOU
brette. or a promoter OF intesst in some
new kind of soap. The fact is, the de-
butante requires advertising quite as
much as any commercial commodity. and
though il must all be done in a delicate
sort of way. it is none the less a piece OF
high-art advertisement through the coll

so that after all 1t is only a species OF
barter in which no money passes from
hand TO hand. In many cases ones re-
latiyes do this sort OF social boosting.
Very often, also, as in the case OF Miss
Josephine Drexel. OF New York. there Is
no need OF any outside assistance TO the
