Others prefer a number of smaller parties. If the latter sis the choice, there should be one party (the flrst) slightly larger ing out" party. As have said, the two most general forms of the "com- ing out" party are the tea and the dance or ball.
 If the mother wishes to do still further formal entertaining, she can give g series of dinners with infor- nal dancing. Or she can take an opera box for the winter-oncel a week or every other week. re- member how shocked my mother was tho year I came out, when I quite flatly refused her offer of an opera box. She thought would be highly pleased. I had to confess that noth- ing the world would make me 20 to the opera and sit in a oox every seats in the first balcony every night wanted to go would be over joyed. But I know this is not the correct attitude for the debutante at all. The opera box as a form Of entertaining is very popular >and COTrGcC Ouos

 There has been a enormous move- ment lately against the idea of any thing formal. That is, people give balls exactly as large, elaborate and formal as before, but their cards al- most always read, small dance," or merely dancing" in the corner. By this means they have acquitted themselves of the accusation of giv- ing large and formal parties.
 You arrive to find 6 room pam med with people. and realize that you should not feel as flattered as you thought at receiving the invta- ton. Perhaps the only sign of in- formGlity ono can notice are Rhe tuxedos and blak ties worn by the average young dancing man at ali parties. wonder what they find so disagreeable in the white tie and dress coeti Or do they think they are showing too much interest In the party and paying their hostess too high a compliment if they wear them? Whatever the cause for the N"un- dress of the present day young man, Ithink 1t a great pity.

 Girl Who Wouldn't Let The Dead Rule

A girl came to me in great dis tress the other day. The gist of her tale of woe was that she was in love with young man whom her mother considered her social inferior, and would not hear of her marrying.

That doesn't mean a thing in my young iiICs WduI ucCcHL ITUCA TUT OuCo and to be able to dance myself in smart restaurants. Mother is always bragging about our ancestor who was 2 signef of the Declaration of Inde- pendence. I'd swap him off any day for a man who could sign a check that commanded respect at the bank.

BEAUTY AND HEALTH
By DIR. LILLIAN WHITNEY


 R. M. M.-Scar tissue can be suc- cessfully removed by skin specialists, but I would scarcely advise you to attempt the treatment at home. A solution of corrosive sublimate is used, as well as other caustic reme- dies. and you might do yourself more harm than good.
 D. T. F. E.-Yol, are indeed a wise girl to forego massage of the face, which is thee first thing to which every woman and the majority Of girls fly when they think their face requires any kind of treatment. Yes, I mentioned lanolin for a dry skin. You can get 1t in two forms: thick, like an ointment, Of liquid, as an oil. This is the base of the muscle strapping oils" one hears so much about. You can procure 1anolin at any good drug store. Apply 1t to the face in either form and pat-do not rub--it in with the finger tips. Go over the face again and again until you have patted in all the oil the skin can absorb. Remove what is left with a cloth dipped in iced water. Then pat the face dry and dust lightly with powder. For ex- 1cessive precipitation under the arms mop the parts thoroughly several times each day with strong salt water, followed by a liberal amount of this dusting powder: Oleate of zinc, 1 dram; English bisrnuth, 2 drams; Beta naphthol, 10 grains.

The demands made today on the mother of debutante are not near ly so great as in the past. Enter taining has become less formal and less of an obligation. In fact, some of the most individually popular de- butantes are girls who have not giv- en any large or formal party at all. Naturally. however, 1t is to girls advantage to be spoken lof as a graceful hostess, as well as a charm ing guest.
 Nevertheless, the girl who at- tends parties but does not herself entertain is known as a debutante just as is her richer sister who can give elaborate parties. She can have equally as good time. If it is at all .e ao most th. mother, mot, G entertainment in honor of theil daughters debut. There is no sei rule as to swhat form this entertain ment shall take. k In days gone. by the debutantes often was given formal tea by hel mother or one of her immediate fam fly. followed by an evening party of some kind. The tea was given pri- narily to afford an opportunity fol the girl to meet the older generation --her mothers friends and acquaint- ances. s;, The evening entertainment wns rather closely coined to the younger generatihp-debutan and girls who had beeN out year or two. Only one or two older couples, intt- mate friends of the parents, were in- vited to give them support.
 " O o O
 Exclusive Debutante Parties A Thing Of The Past. as
 In the last few years the large, ex- elusive '"debutante'' party has almost ceased to exist. With it has quite generally departed the large formal tea. Any large dance that is given nowadays includes people of all age. The reason for this is think two- fold. The ldebutante is no longer literally debutante; she has most likely already gone to cab&rets, to 8 number of grown-up parties, and probably has quite large circle of friends older than herself. And the parents are in comparison younger than were parents ip days gone by. They and their friends probably dance as well as the best of us.
 Personally T. think :. 1t an excellent change, provided that tine debutante really mixes with those of every age Coming out into the world should mean that we are prepared to meet people of all ages and .mentalities, and are no longer forcsd to confine themselves 10 girls and boys of our won age. s3

PRATT CITY AND WILLIAM VICTORS Fairfield And Ensley Lose In Soccer Grid
 Tilts

Vivian and Pratt City were winners in the soccer football league Saturday afternoon, Wylam winning from Ensley 3 to o, while Pratt nosed out Fairfield . to 0.
 The Wylam- -Ensley was a close and hard fought struggle, with the Vivian visitors coming back strong in the final half and putting over three goals in rapid succession. It was played on the Ensley T. c. I. field, with both teams making number of changes in their lineups, introducing many young and new players.
 George Finley, w. Miller and Bishop were the Ensley stars who were largely responsible for keeping the ball down in Wylam's territory during the first half of the game, but their attempts to score from the field were frustrated. Then Wylam's superior play in the second half overcame the Ensley defense.
 Arthur Bishop refereed the game
