There Is Decided Tendency Toward Pasted Colors for the Debutante Who Has evolved an Array of Fashions Solely Suitable for Young Girls

 New York-It is quite difficult for the women of other nations 10 realize the importance the Americans attach to girlhood
 In France and England a young girl is so cloistered. so simply brought up, that her clothes are matters of minor importance. Tn this country the young girl appears to be a dominant factor as regarded by the outsider; and the out sider is not very far off the track. The American mother will sacrifice her wardrobe every season to give the young girl of the household new clothes and keep her fitted out to dance, to go 10 tea, and to attend school. The American girl begins her social life N hen she is ii years old. She has her owa dancing classes which are attended by all the paraphernalia that exists in parties for older women. She receives flowers. she wears partly low frocks, she has her silk stockings and satin slip pers, she has her supper engaged and Ter dances taken before the Friday and Saturday nights given over to her weekly parties.
 When she is r. before she leaves school, she is in a full swing of gayety during her week-ends Her Christmas and Easter holidays are filled with round of dinners teas and dances. She is quite familiar with the best reStaur- ants in the great cities. She knows all the plays more intimately than her parents. She is often able to tell her quiet mother, who stays home to give her daughter the chance for new clothes and new satin slippers, the ways of the mcdern world with the detailed narrative and sophistication of a woman of 30.
 Whether or not it spells her youth. whether it takes the bloom off the bud, is a question for the psychologist and the student of human nature. It does moi directly relate to fashions. The Euro- pean cannot understand our attitude toward young girls, and yet we seem to fare very well with our womanhood in it's final result
 A WIDE VARIETY
 Therefore, what do these youngsters wear when they go to dances as school girls. or in the full swing of coming out?" The answer is that their clothes are entirely lovely this season.
 They can wear the hoopskirts, the flounces. the shimmering pastel shades of the eighteenth century, they can gar
