NEW YORK, October S.-More par
ties for debutantes have been given
early this Fall at country estates and
clubs than in any previous season
Some of the most prominent members
of society have been formally intro
duced since the days just preceding
the polo matches, and others Will
make their debuts in the near future.
This is a new departure among New
York s smart set, and is an indica'
ton of another change in the times.
2 First we had before the war the for
nal debut at a reception for the
Younger and older members of the
family, followed probably later in the
season by a small dance in the home.
Then came the war, when everything
was changed and there was little or
no entertaining, even for the dehu-
tantes. Following the war, the large
dances were popular, where invita-
.tions would run into four figures and
when the hostess would not know
half of her guests.
In the last two or three years a
check has been put on this sort or
thing by having secretary placed at
the door to scan all Invitations and to
insist upon every guest presenting a
card This put stop to the gate
crashing" but did not prevent a
voung girl from calling up her host
eSs few hours before the dance to
inform her that she was having few
friends in for dinner and would like
to bring them along. The friends usu-
ally were men, so as to assure herself
n number of partners for the dance.
The young woman of today must have
at least five men in her train. thus
insuring constant cutins. This shows
her popularity. The result has been a
stag line in the center of the ballroom
that has made it impossible TO dance.
In former years no man was al
lowed on the ballroom floor unless he
was dancing. And so it seems that
reaction has set in. starting this Fail
with the country dances. Here the
hostess knows every one of her guests,
all of whom are selected with care.
The result is more formality and dig
nifty to the parties, but, of course,
none of the oldtime chaperonage
where young woman was conducted
By guardian to and from any dance
she went to.
Some of the notable parties so far
given have been those for Miss Kath-
arine Barnes. daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs Courtlandt Dixon Barnes. at
Manhasset, Long Island: Miss Wini-
fred Loew. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Goadby Loew and grand
daughter of George F. Baker; Miss
;Eda VI. Dunstan. daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. James s. Dunstan. and Miss
Murjel Lowe, whose parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry W. Lowe. gave dance
for her at the Piping Rock Club last
month.
Miss Mary Willis Vanderpool of
Morristown. y. j.. was presented at a
dance at the Morris County Golf Club.
Most OF the important debutantes
OF the season will be present at the
annual Autumn ball TO be held at
Tuxedo Park October %. The dance
will be held at the Tennis and Rae
,ouet Club. Mrs. F. Meredith Blagden
has accepted the Craftsmanship of the
ball, and she will have prominent
women of the Park associated with
her. Mrs. Blagden will present her
daughter, Miss Cornelia w. Blagden,
at the ball.

Corporal Tanner.
(New York World ]


 marvellous physique must have been that of Corporal Tanner to carry him to the age of eghty-three in spite of his loss of both legs, making normal exercise impossible. Thirty-seven years ago when he campaigned for Harrison, he was already the type and foremost example of the Grand Army in politics. His appoint ment as Pension Commissioner in 1891 was his reward and the climactic point of his long office holding career.
 God help the surpus!" said Tanner entering upon that office He meant 1t: that was one req son why Harrison was forced to displace him. The doughty Corporal must have been amused at what followed Garfield, ten years earlier, had said that pension expenditure. then $500O0, 900, had reached its limit and would decline as the old soldiers died Under Tanner the annual bill reached $117 0O0. 900. But 1t was to rise to $144 900 900 on the eve of the Spanish War. and to $172OO0, 900 in 1914. The number of pensioners rose from 676,O0O in Tanners time to just short of million, the maximum. in 1902. The number of widow pensioners did not reach it's maximum. 322.294 until 1912.
 Only elderly voters now fully realize what political power veterans of the Tanner type yielded forty years ago. The American Legion has not yet attained to anything comparable in the way of influencing public policies and ap- pontments Times have changed. The great world conflict does not 20 easily lend itself as did the Civil War to TanndresQue oratory about saving the Union. It's veterans are willing to forget.

Beer and the BoOtlegger.
tUIncInnati Enauirer.) )


 Lieutenant Colonel James Cooper Waddell former Federal Supervisor of Alcohol and Brewery control writing in recent issue of the New York World, indulged in some sane reflections With reference to the question of prohibition It long has been marvel to rationally think ing people that both bootegger and practically every degree of prohibitonist fight shoulder to shoulder with frenzied tenacity in opposition to the legalizing of 2.75 per cent beer If any thing. the bootegger is more fanatically opposed to legalized beer than the most ultra prohibi tionist
 The reason why the bootlegger is so opposed is obvious to everybody but the obsessed prohibit t1onist The bootlegger knows, and knows well, that legalized beer would crush and ruin his bill lion dollar monopoly of hard liquor, monopoly which has enabled him to convert this country into nation of liquor drinkers the prohibition ists to the contrary We need waste no time in arguing that matter. Look about you--any- where.
 Colonel Waddell says that to defeat these big bootleg operators the Federal Government must apply it's efforts and money where they count He asserts that the legalzation of 275 per cent beer will make for prohibition. and for the Govern ment, many friends among the working classes | It will contribute materially toward a general l respect for law and organized government ! He says that at present the sensible laboring man goes without beer because bootleg prices make it expensive and because it's quality is poor In his heart, however, he nurses grudge. He feels that it is an unfair Government that takes his beer away and at the same time allows the wealthy man to have all the liquor he desires. Colonel Waddell notes also that antagonism toward the Volstead Act is becoming more gen era everywhere, and suggests that the one inter est of all our good people is to find way out. | Congress is feeling the pressure of money and power which Is getting into the hands of an exceedingly dangerous class of people, and an other thing which should influence Congress to effect this real reform is that the legislation of beer will reduce materially the importance of the prohibition issue in the 1928 Presidential campaign, if not entirely eliminate it-a situa- ton that everybody but the bootegger, and pro- hibitionist wants
 | A rational beer amendment to the volstead Act will come before Congress. If the prohibi- ltonists are sincere in their desire to see the bootegger put out of business and real en- | forcement measure enacted they will urge and assist the adoption of such an amendment
