THE DEBUTANTE.

4 great many women object to giv-
ing their daughters formal debut in
to society, preferring what the young
woman herself calls creeping out.
Economy or marked objections to
public introduction of a girl upon the
marriage mart" as it is so often
called. are two reasons for this re-
fusal for this formal debut.
Economical reasons are most power
full, for today the trousseau of q de-
|butante IS scarcely less than that of
a bride, some times even larger, as the
bride usually selects her wardrobe with
4 view to her future position in life.
while the debutante is expected to
have gown for each and every oc-
casion which may arise.
In view of all this, the principal
reason for debut is apt to be lost.
and that is that when girl arrives
at a certain period of life after her
education is finished. she is consid-
cred cid enough to go about with her
nlothcr TO be included in formal So
cial functions and to assist her mother
lin receiving guests In her own home.
In England, this point is reached when
she is presented at court, while in
| this country, the occasion varies con-
/, siderably.
Formerly a girl was introduced as
soon as she left school. but this time
is now usually postponed. whether the
girl goes to college or not 1t is recog-
niZed that the plunge straight from
the school room into round of So
cial gslyety is demoralizng and this
course is now considered i'll -advised,
so that very often a girl is not
| brought out" formally for one year,
/ sometimes two, after she leaves school.
Her plunge is more gradual, she may
go to number of informal entertain
| Inents with her mother. and by this
| means become accustomed to going
about before she is actually introduced
| but again she may devote herself TIC
some favorite study. or better still
she is sent to boarding school or sent
| abroad for n year

hose of a certain standard pattern. The
stockings of the biggest girl are bought
to match her gowns. and the black
stockings for the long legged boy are
likewise distinctly his. One of the men
sticks faithfully to one variety of black
hose with white feet. while the other

TINS our own lazy respiration and de-
plive ourselves of oxygen that is so
necessary if we would keep oui bodies
at the highest point of efficiency. says
the Delineator for september.
Oxygen is absolutely necessary to
the existence of animal life. Man gets
oxygen from air breathed into his
lungs.
Besides introducing oxygen into the
blood. the lungs act as excretory
organs removing undesirable clements
from the system at each expiration.
In ordinary or unconscious breathing.
only ten to thirteen per cent of the air
in the lungs is changed at each
breath. leaving eighty to ninety per
cent of the lung capacity filled with
stale air.
Forced or conscious breathing of
pure air ventiates the lungs, driving
out the eighty to ninety pei cent. OF
the stationary or stale air.
All bedroom windows and doors
should be wide open during sleep thus
connecting the lungs directly with the
pure air Of the outside world.
