This list of southern debutantes is fast
growing, and though the Birmingham
young girl is slow always in avowing her
intention of formally bowing to society,
there are a number who are considering
the question of the route-whether via the
formal reception at the Country club some
winter evening, the less formal afternoon
tea with a buffet supper afterward for
the receiving party, or a series of small
dinner parties. But few decisions have
been made; the formal debut is not pop
ular among the girls here except in the
case of those girls who have spent sew
eral winters in college or travel, and thus
need the Introduction, as young women, to
the friends of their families For those
who remain at home the greater part of
the time are given their social freedom so
naturally and easily that they drift into
the usual round of gayeties almost with
out knowing it.
In the Tennessee cities there are always
a number of fair entries to the social
arena. This season Nashville is to have
an exceptionally pretty and attractive
bevy of girls. The Tennessean remarked
Sunday:
mo list of debutantes can be consid-
cred complete or accurate at this early
date and many girls nowadays take their
places socially without the formalty of a
set introduction. The number of debu-
tarltes this year is much smaller than
that of last season, but the year prom
ises to be just as gay socially, for the
prospective debutantes. without excep-

On the First Monday in April

The True Northerner notes
with pleasure the sentiment
throughout the state asking that
Justice Moore be retained on the

At this time, from what our
exchanges say, it appears that
Justice Moore's nomination will
be unanimous at the state con-
ventlon next month.
From the different exchanges
on our desk we are moved to
print the following, which so
we'll voices our opinion, and the
general regard with which the
people of this state have for this
eminent jurist, and the desire to
retain the services of so valu-
able member on the bench that

Justice Moore acquired his
early education in the common

Later HillsdaIe College conferred
on him, at different times, the

He came to Lapeer as a young

He served here as mayor Of La

people of the county in unusual
