cheaper for woman to pay $500 and
get one OF her own than 1t is to buy
one with husband attached for two

human, to want to believe that you

country gets something equally as

the heraldic experts will keep right

Corbett relates case of insanity from

Exquisite Gozuns Worn by operate Star Are Designed by Herself
Sister Gives
A Tip or Two
To Debutante

A sophisticated married woman was
coaching her debutante sister in the
gentle art of catching a husband. At
ter she had finished telling her what to
do, and more particularly what not 20
do, the engaging infant Of eigh teen be
gan TO speak encouragingly of her
achievements.
She reminded her sister that she was
considered one Of the most popular
buds Of the season. At this, that one
shook her head without elation and
told her that popularity doesn't always
draw prize husbands The little debu-
tante hopefully babbled on that more
men came TO their box at the opera
than to any other in the horse shoe.
The sister delivered a weary cynicism
about light talk being an antidote for
heavy music.
The younger one begged her to remem-
Der how her dances were engaged weeks
beforehand, how men entTeated her to
lead COtillOns with them, and how each
waltz was split into a half Gozen that
those who wanted 10 De her partners
might all have a show. The sister sighed
that husbands were not harvested TO the
sound of soft music, and begged her
TO remember that q ballroom proposal
IS at best a slippery affair.
Still the little sister would not be
dOWned. She perSi5tenty reminded her
instructor that AT football games and
at baseball scTimmageS she was sur
rounded by seniors, and when she walk
cd forth in the park her footsteps were
dCgged by never fewer than half
dozen youths. Still her sister looked de-
pressed.
The debutante triumphantly reminded
that on Sunday afternoons more men
came TO call on her than to see any girl
on the street. The sister sighed and
said all that might be true-but--
one day the phone rang and a man
asked the little girl II he mightnt
come 20 see her some time when she
was alone: that he was so busy work
ing he couldn't come with the others
even II he wanted TO. The sister began
20 look hopeful And still more happy
when he continued TO time his comings
not 10 conflict with the society crowd.
Before she knew IL the debutante had a
big solitaire flashed at her and an in
vIfatiOn 20 walk 10 the altar with the
busy young man. She was too afraid
Of her sister 20 keep yne young man
waiting for his answer. The sophisti-
Gated sister handed her a tray Of ex-
perience to hand on down the line:
