now conducting at Covent Garden. He
said: Miss Macbeth has one of the

Not only has she the customary colo

after generations Of being passed over

The change is due largely to the

day Of the fashion for debutantes, said.
For some months past there has
been q sort Of mutual agreement among
mothers that debutantes were to be
given the position of honor in the
forthcoming season. There is a sort OF
unwritten law, too, that their simplicity
is to be made the very most Of

Queen does not like TO see a young girl
in the least overdressed, or ultra
smartIv dressed, and that she does not
like 10 see her wearing any jewelry.
This will be emphasized this season IN
the case of debutantes.
Both the mothers and girls them
selves have been discussing the matter
together. The dress the girls are now
wearing is a very simple white one
with poss;bly a little silver trimming,
without jewelry or decoration Of any
kind.
THE skirt is fuller than the close
fitting skirt now so popular, and not
slit at the side. Every girl VIII wear
the same, and there will be no mistak-
