There was a good story told at a
dinner party last week that might be
entitled in vaudeville The Myopia of
the Climber" A certain young man
who is invited occasionally to social
affairs and yearns to be one of what he
considers the inner and elect circle.
called an acquaintance by phone TO
inquire the details of a society function.
They were amused at his eagerness for
minute gossip and said finally to end
the cross examination: You know we
are not society people and we really
know nothing further of this affair"
The youth was amazed at this mod
est statement, especially when he had
so carefully considered their superior
advantage and attributed the condition
at once to their lack of perception.
Never mind he said in an encour-
aging way. You'll get there all right.

There is family joke now about
getting in, since the family name is
one of the Oldest in the state, and this

Mrs. William II. Crocker and her
son. William Crocker Jr, have been
enjoying brief visit in New York.
They will return to their Burlin-
game home for the summer and will
be accompanied on their return by their
daughter. Miss Ethel Crocker who has
been attending school in New York.
Miss Crocker is a charming young girl
and will probably be a debutante of
next season. There are any number
OF pretty girls who will be intro
duced to society next winter, and the
season Should be a gala one for the
debutanteS. 1t is more than probable
that they viii have the social order
of things their own way, for the group
or girls standing on the verge of their
formal entrance to the enchanted world
of teas and dances is a larger group
and by many said to be a more at
tractive group than ordinary. That is
saying much for the near debutantes,
since those who came out last season
were fascinating coterie and the girls
preceding them by a year are an ac-
complished set with the grace that
comes from wider experience.
