organized force OF picked musicians
from all parts of the country. The or

Chorus from Verdrs III Trovatore,'
which had an auxiliary force of fifty

CREOLE BELLIES SOCIAL DEBUT

Society goes to the French opera on
fathers handed the custom down TO it,"
writes Harrydele Hallmark in the March
Ladies' Home Journal. 80 estab-
lished is this custom that no social
function is ever prepared for Saturday
evening uring the season. The family
that gives out an invitation for that
night is. s.immediately ciassed as not
versed in the usages Of society and not
worthy TO be known. This is so deep
rooted in Creole life that such an invi-
tation would be jeered at as If coming
from a barbarian.
THE best singers save their voices
for this crowning night, and the house
is like a private ball room, where the
guests visit and laugh and chat from
the balconies of the boxes as they do
from the little iron balconies that con-
meet their houses. If one does not go
to the opera on Saturday night through
lack of invitation or money one is very
careful not TO be seen elsewhere, Civ
ing out the suggestion that sickness or
trouble 1mpelled ones absence. The
proud Creoles of the French set, some
OF them in grinding poverty. ignore
all the Mardi Gras festivities, ignore al
that costs picayune, in order to save
the amount to appear at the opera On
Saturday night.
mo debutante Of New Orleans enters
society in the correct and approved
manner unless she makes her debut IN
a box on this particular evening. Jf
the social aspirant has sufficient money
and tact TO secure the good will of
leading family to invite her debutante
daughter into its box, this daughter
has received the most precious hall
mark of society. II a man who owes
social call pays the call to his friends
in their box at the opera II is just the
same as IL he called at their house. Tbs
centre boxes are reserved for the debu.
tantes. There they receive the homae {,
due them: there they are wooed ano
sometimes won, but certainly ther.
they make or mar their chances for
bellehood. Some OF the debutantes may
wear the the simplest of mt slim gowns
but the simplicity of their costumes
never counts against the fact that they
are there
