New York society has its character-

ter season develops them. In strong
points this season is holding it's owl
against the best of individuality past
years have put forth. What the young
women are exhibiting in the way oi
originality, whether in anateur dra'
matics, In the encouragement OF good
music or even In the publishing bust
ness. is the product OF the utilitariar
age that has inspired Miss Isabel Pell

Ball Held for Debut
OF Miss loan Whitney

An example of modern broad hospi-
tality that centers about the debutanta
was the ball Mr.. and Mrs. Payne Whit
ney gave in the Plaza Hotel last Tues
day to Introduce their daughter. Miss
Joan Whitney. Even the largest Of
homes is not equal to the proportions
of a typical present day ball for a
debutante To meet the outer boun-
daries of her daughters list of friends
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitney had to take an
entire ballroom floor OF hotel as well
rs the restaurant usually set aside for
the public.
And yet that ball. with its attendance
of fully a thousand persons. was given
the suggestion of the private housa
dance. such as Is to come with the
next few weeks There was a privatl
entrance, once inside which the guest
was far removed from a curious public.
ro meet the present day requirements
of the young set, there were two or
chestras that gave no rest for the
dancers. There was a buffet supper.
where the guests might nibble whenever
they wished. There also was seated
supper in what on ordinary nights
would have been a public restaurant,
and again in the restaurant breakfast
was served six hours after the party
started.
In their party for their daughter, Mr..
and Mrs. Payne Whitney lived up to
the traditions for perfect and expansive
hospitality established in an earlier
period by the debutante's grandfather,
the late William G. Whitney. who gave
vogue to the typical Yankee breakfas.
as the terminating feature of a FASH

.Debutante Calendar
Issued Monthly

Reference to the amateur invasion OF
the publishing field has to do with the
first issue of the DebttG,ste Calendar,
the January number of which has just
come from the press. The monthly Is
purely a debutante production under the
supervision of some of their older as
sociates. All are members of the Junior
League, although the league itself Is not
the protector OF the publishing scheme.
Like all varieties of energy emanating
from the league. the project has a phiian-
thropic inspiration. The income from the
sales and advertising will be used In
extending the work of the Parks ana
Playground Association of the City OF
New York of which Mr.. George Goroon
Battle Is the president.
The Dcbutante Calendar is credit 10

pearance and as to the industry Its ad-
yertising pages demonstrate. Miss Anne

Battle on the appeal or the fdrks anu

matter has come from the minds, pens
and typewriters of members of this win
ter's debutante set in several OF the
larger cities, as the publication Is not in
tended for purely local consumption. 1t
must not be forgotten that the Junior
League. to the membership of which the
Calendar is intended to appeal particu-
larly. has been Incorporated as ma

intimate dinners in homes Of per-
sons who have inherited their social
stairs have been given si-ce the
early weeks Of November and will
continue to be given through the first
month of the new year.
Those intimate assemblies have
brought together as many as forty
guests. The average dinner party has
been for sixteen, and it is an odd
phase of modern life in society that
the younger members of those fam
lilies often move in a circle that takes
them far from the confines Of this
guarded tradition Of the social strict
constructionists.
Thus the broad circle. with its
coming OUT dance that brings to-
gether nearly a thousand guests,
sweeps about the smaller one with its
jealously maintained limitations. The
commonly heard verbal expression,
II should like to have you drop in at
my daughters Dance" does not i'm
ply that the front door of the home OF
the hostess is open.
So with the expansion OF society
has come into vogue the necessity OF
a new form of social sagacity.
