FEW DEBUTANTES THIS YEAR
Five May Monopolis, the Attention Usually
Paid to Dozen.
LOT OF THE SOCIAL BUD A TRYING ONE
Critical scrutiny of Rivals and of the
leaders of Society n Calling Fire
Afnirs of the Past Week
in Their Honor.

Instead OF the dozen or more American
beauties who lend their fragrance and
beauty to the social realm only five will
grace the kingdom this season, though they
are Of sufficient charm to leave nothing
wanting. With all the gallant young beaux
OF which Omaha can boast to be divided
among so few these ladies' will be the proud
possessors OF numbers of strings to their
bows and will certainly have no cause for
ennul or for shedding tears over wasting
their sweetness on the desert air. The entree
OF a society bud into the social life is really
an ordeal through which she must pass tri-
umphantly and with flying colors IL she is
ambitious for social honors-and who does
not long for that power that personal mag
netism that makes one factor, leading
light in whatever walk OF life she Is? But
1t is an ordeal, for the bud must be most
gracious, most unaffected and unconscious
OF the many critical eyes or admiring
slances, and say the most appropriate bon
mots with a composure that would do credit
to her blase sister of two seasons. This
charming bud has been most guarded by her
society mother from having even a surrepti-
tious glimpse of the giddy whirl, and yet
must be In all readiness to put into prac-
tice her theoretical lessons of some most
select school. The teas or receptions are even
ulore VI al OTuehl tnan the dances, Tor the
leaders of the 400" the ra-fashionable
ladies. know that often the success of their
entertainments depends upon their bevy of
beautiful girls assisting and will conse-
quently consider carefully the charms of the
bud, her dainty gown and the other access
sories so essential to perfect appearance.
There is sufficient variety in the character
and appearance OF the debutantes OF this
season to add spice and zest. There is one
who is tall and dark and queenly, a vertable
ruler wherever she appears. Another capti-
Yates by her pretty childlike simplicity and
gentle ways A third Is truly a Gibson girl,
with Gibsonesque pose an artist might
envy. A fourth is a jolly rollicking girl,
whose merry peals of laughter win her hosts
of admirers, and the fifth is the versatile
girl whose popularity is already assured.
Miss Edith Smith is one of Omahas charm
ing debutantes who will make her entree
into the social world November Is at a re-
ception given by her mother, Mrs. A. B.
Smith, and at dancing party the evening
acquisition not only on account of a natural
and unusual attractiveness but also for her
musical accomplishments. She is pupil OF
the well known teacher, Foley of Cincinnati,
and is the possessor of a rich, sympathetic
mezzo of considerable range and power It
is hoped that her voice may be frequently
heard during the coming season.
