THE SOCIETY. WORLD.
At This Moment It Is Dominated
by the Fair Debutante.
The Presentation of n Young Woman
to Her Social Peers In 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 a
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. eparations for the tea must
be begun a considerable ti1ne in adj
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 to be soon, arc allowed to
assist in receiving. These limitations
make the securing of proper number
of assistants hard, especially if the
number of presentations be large
Thus it 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.

touch on her arm, turned and looked
at the bright face of the small boy.
Then she felt in her belt bag.
No. she said, ''it's not mine. But
I thank you for asking me-
"Please, lady," went on the boy,
bringing forth a bunch of evening
papers, won't you buy a paper from
me? I'm stuck on a lot"
OF course under the circumstances
the young woman's escort felt it in
cumbent upon him to reward the
newsboy's honesty by handing him
dime, refusing at the same time to
take paper.
1.-The little chap deserved it, any,
way, for offering to return the hand
kerchief he thought was mine," said
the girl with smile, and other spec
tators smiled, too, at the pretty little
comedy of the streets.
But the climax of the plot came
later when second couple of young
people approached on their way to
the show.
Again the same small newsboy
darted up behind them, and again he
touched the young woman on the arm
with hand in which was held the
same square of cambria.
'You've dropped your handkerchief,
lady," he said again, and a minute
later another dime had slipped into
his pocket. Half a dozen times be-
tween eight and $3.50 o'clock the game
was played on as many unsuspecting
young couples, and in each instance
coin passed into the possession of
the ingenious young swindler.
''That's new one on me-" said the
copper on the corner, "but ! can't see
that there's anything to be done
about it -

been chosen by others for the same
event.
When she has received acceptances
from the required number of friends
to help her receive she calls them to-
gether for 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. Tt is often said that these
debutante teas are among the most at
tractive of the social functions be-
cause of the presence of these young
women.
So firmly fixed has the custom of
sending flowers to the debutante be-
come that it nearly amounts to law
No one but the debutante holds 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 bout
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. C..
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 engagement to Archi-
bald Balfour was broken five weeks
ago after the wedding preparations
were we'll under way. The sister are
devoted to each other and are seldom
separated. Miss Sartoris was educated
at private English schools and at
Georgetown convent Washington.
She is especially accomplished in mu-
sic, for which she has shown an apti-
tude since infancy
