is in the summer, when so many OF

lives The law of compensation-can

The old girls who have to look pleas
ant, be it ever so painful while the
men discuss the charms of their young
venge in time. For every season has
its Novices, proclaimed as phenoms,
and when the new bunch comes OUT
they put the noses of the Yearlings out
of Joint just as the Yearlings, in their
day, did the Year-Olds. A girl,
unless she is absolutely impossible, has
a. brief period of triumph in her first
season, just because 1t is her first sea-
son, but after that she wins, II at all,
on her merits and the seasoned veteran
much luck as any last years bud.
It is at the summer hops that the
girls who have occupied the center OF
the stage all winter with the spot
light on them every minute begin 70
see their finish in the budding out OF
the sub-debutantes, who next season
or the season after will crowd them
into the back ground. At the first OF
series of informal subscription dances
at the National roof garden last night
there were a lot of attractive young
girls already starring in the high school
and college sets who are sure TO make
the set just preceding them roll ana
| toss on sleepless pillows some OF these
days. Already the older chaps VINO re,
| tain their affiliations with the Mellins'
| Food crowd have begun to take no
| tice of Miss Marguerite Mills, MISS
katharine Kellam, Miss Elizabeth Hol-
liday, Miss Esther Rauch, Miss Louise
McNeal, Miss Helen Haughey, MISS
/ IA,
Gertrude McClntock and others. VINO
| are still in college or just out, and VINO
are going to have things all tnelr own
way in a few years. Ana there are ar;
other girls still younger, the high scnool
| bellies, who are beginning to attract at
| tention and the older chaps Will soon
/ be Joining the Wader's Union IN max
| ing a. big fuss over them. There is MISS
| Leona Curtis, for example, the second
daughter of Senator and MRS. GURUS
| Last fall she went to Washington Win
| the family a little girl. Now she re-
| turns and bursts upon our dazzied eyes
| grown over night so to speak, almost
/ into a real young lady, with charming
half grOwn-up ways and instincts dpou'
/ dress, and things. For instance, las'
| night she wore a gay, oriental looking
| scarlet scarf thrown with careless
| grace around her shoulders winch SCI
| off her odd, dark beauty and lent q
/ distinction to a simple summer gown
| making her easily the most conspicuous
/ and attractive figure at the hop.-heeI
| YOUR eye also on Miss Dorothy Porter
| daughter. of Mr.. Justice Silas X. Porter
! of the supreme court. She is an excep-
| tionally chic and winsome young CIR
| and one of the most graceful or tne
| many pretty dancers in the M.
| crowd (And you know, when 1t comes
4 to dancing. you have to give 1T TO tne
| M. F.. crowd). Miss Porter has the
Il most unusual and the best looking nalr
II blonde and awfully curly and she wears
