KEEPS "DEBBIES" BACK

married sets who control society in
Manhattan today.
The "old guard" such as the II.
A. c. Taylors, dowager Mrs. Van
derbilt, ETC.. have retired to the
rear Of the social procession. and the
guests at the few social entertain
ments they still give are for the
most part confined to friends of
many years standing.
BY the young married crowd I
mean the Freddie" Frelinghuy-
sens, the Cornelius H. Tangemans,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Mccullough,
Mrs. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte,
Mrs. Biddle Duke, Mr.. and Mrs. s.
Bryce Wing, the Morgan Belmonts,
etc.
They are the people who are &C.
cupying the center of the social
stage at the present time, and the
poor. dear debutantes are merely
understudies, In the social world
would one call it drama or comedy?
We hear much about the "debu-
tante season." However, by the
time February 1 rolls around the
little flappers Just making their
bows to the social world will be for
gotten In the rush of older enter
tainments, and the Photographed
deb" season will be placed In the
list Of things that have been.
In the past there have been nu.
merous attempts here In the me-
tropolis to make the debutantes the
leading figures Of the social season.
The attempts have never met
with much success and, truth to
tell, there has always been great
opposition from the powers that
be" on the subject.
They feel the debutante should be
content with playing a minor part
until she enters the younger mar
ried sets-and up to the present
they have seen to 1t that the young
women do not ovsrstep the line laid
down for them.

a few hours. she did not 90 with him.
Tuesday she had the usual lunch
con of the ladies of the Senate to

by the presence Of tho ladies' Of the
Cabinet as special guests. From
there she went back to the Willard.

large tea which Mrs. James T. Nor
ris gave for her-with Mrs. George
Maynard Minor, president general

are not very keen about parties-at

had enjoyed them "uphome" where
