r>HE really continuous work of the

TINE really continuous work of the
debutante is beginning this
= week with it's round of lunch
cons, dinners and dances, and, Of
course, with these there also will be
the opera, which appeals to all of them.
While she may have been to matinees
the debutante has to wait until her
first season out to be included among
the guests in a prominent opera box
at gala performance, or for that
matter at any of the subscription per-
formances of the long season at the
Metropolitan.
1t remains to be seen nat will be
the staying power of the debutante of
the winter. Not one of them cares to
miss an entertainment of any import
ance, but the question often is asked
how can they accomplish all that is
offered. Some mothers who have daugh-
ters to introduce draw the line a,
luncheons, but such are the exception
as has been shown by those recently
given whose lists have included nearly
all the debutantes OF this season, whose
number is far ahead of that for many
years.
Added TO all these social engage
ments that have to be met there are
the duties of the Junior League with
It's various lectures and philanthropic
work which is helped on by the re-
cruits of each season.
