THE SOCIETY WORLD.
At This Moment It Is Dominated
by the Fair Debutante.
The Presentation of Young Woman
10 Her Social Peers Is an Event
of Importance, Especially
in This Country.

At this season of the year the prin-
cipal feature of the social events is the
introduction to societyof the debu-
tantes. In no other part of the world
is the young woman's debut made so
much of an event as in this country.
In England the social debut Of q
daughter of good family takes place
gradually and unOstentatiously. The
only exception is when she is present.
ed at court. This happens but occa-
sionally, otherwise her position is in
the rear, rarely in the foreground.
The verdict of women who have lived
abroad is that England is a paradise
for the young married woman, but not
for the young girl.
The debutante to-day is almost in
Variably introduced at an afternoon
tea or reception, sometimes followed
by a dinner and dance later in the
evening. One of the reasons for this
form of introduction is that a tea is
the most expansive way of entertain-
ing; at one function the debutante
may be introduced to the whole of So
ciety. Preparations for the tea must
be begun a considerable time in ad-
vance. The debutante must early turn
her attention toward securing her aids,
a task not so easy as may be imagined,
even though the list of her friends be-
large. None but those who had been
introduced not more than one season
ago, who have just been presented, or
who expect 10 be soon, are allowed to.
assist in receiving. These limitations
make the securing of a proper number
of assistants hard, especially if the
number of presentations be large.
Thus il is all the more important that
she should early settle upon the day
of her coming out. A month ahead is
none too early for her to select the
personnel Of the party she wishes to
receive with her. BY beginning thus
early the debutante can select an after
noon for her tea which has not already

been chosen by others for the same
event.
When she has received aeceptances
from the required number Of friends
to help her receive she calls them to-
gether for a consultation on several
important points, one of which is the
gown to be worn. Fashion just now
requires that the debutante shall re-
ceive the guests with her mother or
the relative that may be Introducing
her with a line of youthful helpers at
her side. 1t is often said that these
debutante teas are among the most at
tractiye of the social functions be-,
cause of the presence of these young
women.
So firmly fixed has the custom OF
sending flowers 20 the debutante be-
come that il nearly amounts to law.
No one but the debutaute holds a bou-
quet during the tea, and to show no
preference she frequently exchanges
the one she has been holding for one Of
the many others that are ranged about
the room.
In regard TO the wardrobe Of the
young debutante it seems TO be the
general rule that the gowns be simple
in construction And material, though
many in number. The dresses of a
girls first season are usually one Of the
most important features of her COM
ing out.
One Of the most charming debu-
tantes of last winter was Miss Rose
mary Sartoris. Of Washington, D. G.
The unaffected nature and sweet dis
position which has endeared Mrs. Nell
lie Grant Sartoris to her friends and
which made her "My Sweet Nellie" to
her illustrious father has been inher-
tied by Rosemary Sartoris, her young
est daughter. Miss Sartoris has just
passed her twenty-frst birthday. The
accompanying portrait is her latest
and shows her, not as the young girl
Americans have become accustomed to
see in her portraits, but in her new role
of young woman and society favorite.
She is at present in England with her
sister, whose enga cement TO Archi.

TIE People Dissatisfaction Say

The people of Washington have ex-
pressed a great deal of Cissatisfact-

been appointed, so much that
Senator Pritchard offered a bill
in the Senate Monday. Mr.. PTitch-

posed amendments TO the District of

ments were proposed by the Bar As
sociation of the District OF COlum bia.
1t is expected that the bill will be
acted or before the code goes into ef-
feet.
The bill provides for eight instead
of ten justices Of the peace and stl2u-
later that no justice ofthe peace, dur
ing his term of office, shall engage IN
the practice of the Law, subject TO a
penalty of removal from his office. II
also strikes out at the end Of the sec
tion relating to justices of the peace

The policy Of that board has been
to find free homes for its wards as soon

In the days when a delicate skin was
the supreme desire of every well-born
woman, in the privacy Of her own
chamber she engaged in such small
arts as would enhance this beauty, the
most etticacious being a strip Of white
ribbon or a soft handkerchief tied
tightly about her forehead that it
might prevent it from pickering, or
falling into set lines as she sat reading
or thinking. To further aid in smooth
ing out the brow, the band was dipped
i'm cold water. Often she slept at
night with this band tied firmly about
her head.
In these days Of ultra modernness
the subject of wrinkles is still one Of
vast Importance and a new proven
tive has been evolved. 1t is called by
the suggestive name Of "frowner," and
consists simply of a rather stiff bit of
white paper about the size and shape
OF postage stamp, and having on it's
back a similar coating of gum. Es-

Of the various households were able
to take their luncheCns with their
families. Prices were paid to the ser.
wants which dehled the competition OF
the hotels and temporary cottagers,
and during the summer there was no
complaint about help. The buying
was all done by the chef. Members
paid fifteen cents a meal for guests.
The items Of expense which entered
into the arrangement were $50 a
month for the house, $50 a month for

spectiyely for the cooks, mattresses

Cooperative Housekeeping.

Many persons from neighboring
summer resorts have visited Warsaw,
Ind, during the season to investigate
the workings Of the Household Club
of that place. The organization was
started last spring by the heads Of
twenty families as a tentative solution
Of the servant problem, which had
been especially knotty in Warsaw.
Surrounded as it is by numerous
summer resorts, which attract thou
sands of guests annually, the good
housewives of the place have yearly
found themselves relegated to their
kitchens during the hot season, be-
cause they could not or would not pay
the fancy prices offered TO domestic
help by the hotels and boarding houses.
Aware that this condition would con-
front them again last spring, the mis-
tresses determined to dismiss their
servants before their servants dis
missed them.
The first step was to rent a large,
rOOmy mansion, known as the Light
foot home, which, with its ample
porches, large grounds and delightful
shade, was especially fitted for the
purpose. The entire lower floors were
converted into dining rooms and the
kitchen was enlarged. A. competent
chef was employed and authorized to
secure the best of help. The upper
floors were apportioned among the
servants. Where families were small
two or three combined to furnish to.

would use in common. Large families
