Where is the old-timc girl who went
through school on the tips of her toes
barely sklmming exams and matching her
graduation frock to the length OF her
fathers purseg The girl who went TO
parties az fifteen and jumped into society
the minute she received her diplomat
In her place nowadays we have the
scrious-minded maiden who leads her
latin class, and on graduation from COZ
lcge Is ready 90 do welfare service, camp
girl leading, or similar work. Sincc me

clination to drift back into the butteIiiy

TONED habit and make a formal entrance
remains Co be seen What with the ma
jnrty of Young society girls in Whining
ton members ol the Junior leaguc, motor
cnrps. or settlement service groups, so
