friends is never truer than at the out
set of social career. Ambitious people
introduction day shows just the de-
sired grouping, and for others it comes
just as easy as every other thing their
world appreciates. All the up-to-date
mediums for debutante parties are
being talked about, and for several
tentative arrangements are already
under way. There will be teas, for
who's who think 1t is the best way to
round up large acquaintance, and
subsequent dates for luncheons, din
ners and. dances. Where the opinion
of the younger set only controls, or
nearly so, only dances, big or little, as
the family purse and inclination die
tate, are being considered at all. Since
cotillions, with their expensive favors,
are nearly a thing of the past, dancing
parties seem to suit all sets better than
any other form of enjoyment, and can
be quite as smart in the daylight hours
as at night. Dances were so universal
last winter, that the chances are they
will be thought Of first the coming sea-
