Fashionable Weddings

Also, they need a small car to drive. and one with a chauffeur in constant attendance for formal oc- casions. Some of them have their own riding horses and jumpers.
 A constant drain on the debu- tante's time and energy is the Junior League, but part of being q deb is making the Junior League. This requires two hours of social service from her a day. She must hold some job for two weeks, and do any amount of so- cial service work,
 WhSn a dcbutantc marries, she must make up her own social list. She keeps 8. careful entry of just who is invited 10 her wedding. She carefully checks those who accept, those who come, as well as presents received. This also ap- plies to her coming out list and t1 her debutantc affairs. Her moth- CTS social secretary usually does this work for her.
 There is no greater strain than the fashionable society wedding of today. which costs the parents a fortune in decorations, cham pagne, clothes. caterers and music, and which reduces the bride to l nervous wreck. However, if the deb has been fortunate enough to make q good match this ordeal is gone through chcorfully by her family.
 What to do with the presents received from a big wedding is a problem. I knew one young bride who solved it to some financil! advantage to herself by returning to the shops all duplicate gifts $aitj getting credit for them. 1 kno" one girl who sent all her wedding gifts to storage, while she went on a long European honeymoon with her husband.

 Aren't you thrilled, being . deb," I said to a charming girl one night. She looked at me with sullen eyes and answered with blunt frankness, T think it's beastly."
 Two months later she eloped with one of her fathers chauf- feurs. Heh name is no longer in the Social Register but l have heard she IS quite happy.
 In keeping with the spirit of the times, some of the debutante af- fairs are wild parties. A great many college boys are in attend ance, and there is usually large amount of liquor. Anxious moth . CTS sit back and watch, but there is very little that they can do. At one debutante party. in Philadel- phia, the youngsters drank as
  .and poured the rest of it into a large glass aquarium filled with goldfish That was considered T great joke, despite the fact that all of the goldfish were dead in the morning.
 A deb, of course, needs a large wardrobe, q minimum. I should say, of at least 20 dresses, which will cost anywhere from S200 to $1,000 apiece. She will need sev- eral fur coats and a fabulous number of shoes and stockings. Most girls pay at least $25 for their shoes, and $7 for sheer stockings that are good for only one dancing party. Their lingerie perfumes and cosmetics run up to expensive items. and then there are complete outfits required for sport, riding, hiking, skating, and various seasonal resorts.

Not Too Popular

With all this assistance to rcn. der her popular with men, q dep must at the same time take care that she is not too popular. Many eyes are on the debutante. and should the men flock around her m unduly great numbers, she is apt % be gossiped about. l have known several girls, who were really eX- tremely attractive, who deliberate ly tried to make themselves less desirable as dancing partners, in order that they would not stan ] out from the other debs.
 Some of these girls do not like the society racket. They would

 There are many debutantes com ing-out parties that cost as much as $25,000 and over, but these are exceptional. I have known poor hut prominently social girls 10 be introduced for as little as $5,00n. but they could not have done it without the assurance of in1pecCa . ble background, and with the help Of their relatives and friends who Lave been in society for years.
 Some girls are given two debut 5, one during the summer, at New port, and q large formal coming out later in New York.
 If a girl is very popular, these two affairs will launch her, but should she be "difficult' the par cnts will need to arrange many theater parties, dances and all possible supplementary entertain ment for her. With great deal of wire pulling she may be pro sented at the Court of England.

Senator Small losses His Hat In
The Ring

Senator Clint c. Small Of Wellington. Ceilings
worth county. Is a candidate for governor. He viii
open state headquarters In Fort Worth. He prom
ises to adjourn politics for a business era If elect
ed" He is prompted to make the sacrifice by the con-
viction that the people demand and should have re-
lief from partisan political strife. and should be given
o careful business administration"
He would make Texas an inviting field for new
and diversified industries. He would not increase
taxes. He insists that the way to aid agriculture IN
all OF its branches is to make Texas an industrial
state. Very few laws are needed, according TO the
senator, and he insists that the people should not be
harassed by constant change of law.
All this led to a declaration by Walter d. Cline Of
Wichita Falls. who has been urged by his admirers
the state over to announce his candidacy for the Of
flee Of governor. He will not be a candidate, but
will lend his support to the author of the land vail
dating bill whose constitutionality will be passed up
on sometime in the future by the supreme court OF
Texas.
Are the politicians up In the air7 They are. Now
they are waiting for the high court decision as to the
availability Of Sen. Thomas B. Love and James z.
Ferguson. Love is "rarin' TO co. as the regular on
the primary ballot. Farmer Jim is "rarin' to 90" II
Love and Ferguson lose their court contest. then Love
may jump in as an independent candidate for gov
krnor and Mrs. Ferguson will be named BY Farmer
Jim as his substitute for the high office.

she was through throwing her

that Elanda became more and more
worried about her as she added this

and pulled the black soft straw
hat to a Partisan angle far back off
her face and topped 1t with the big,
wicked earrings OF lipstick red.
She added a huge ring 70 match
and the red slippers. Few women
could have gotten away with Il.
Most OF them would have looked
like an advertisement for the Home
Town fire department. But 1t suited
Dixie perfectly, and she knew it.
When she had finished, Dixie
went into the bedroom and kissed
her sleeping baby. She fingered 10
touch the sweet, warm face with
her hand and TO smile materially,
with a little catch in her throat, at
the vision OF all her dear dreams.
She turned at the outside door
and grinned at Elanda:
Wind up the dog and put out the
clock. dearie. Mamma won't be
home till there's nothing else left

Elanda glared at her. and struck
a cord on the piano and began TO

Dixie fingered uncertainty a mo-
ment. She was going adventuring.
IL was a reckless adventure-pe--
haps a mad one that might fail 70
accomplish its purpose. She might
be sorry. But. II she succeeded. the
risk was worth II.
R~estlessly, Elanda played. She
wondered why Greg did not call.
She remembered what Zinnie had

HE started ~neglecting me. Don't
tell anybody. but he really gave me
the air. 1 suppose I wasn't WIG
I enough to suit him"
What if he gave her the air?
Elanda sat up suddenly, her hand to
her heart. That would be terrible!
~ would be the most humlliating
thing that had happened TO her,
And everybody would know she had
failed TO hold him.
Restlessly, she got up and turned
on the radio. A dance orchestra
was playing softly-Suwanee's song:

With roses round the door
A little white dream house,
With toys on the floor"

Borah for the Peace Pact

Secretary of state Henry L. Stimson and his fel-
how delegates are coming home with their five power
peace pact. This pact will be sent TO the senate with
out delay By President Hoover. He will ecommen
quick action. Senator Borah, chairman Of the COM
mittee on foreign affairs. Is not boiling over with en-
vhusiasm. but promises 70 expedite matters before hts
ommitt and perhaps vote for ratification.
Senator Joseph Taylor Robinson Of Arkansas and
David A. Reed OF Pennsylvania are among the dele
gates who made the pact. They are members OF the
senate foreign affairs committee. Senatorial cour-
sesy covers a lot OF territory. and the president IS
hopeful that the influence Of the gentleman from
Arkansas and the gentleman from Pennsylvania will
push the pact over the top before the coming of the
month Of July.
Truth IS. the congressional solons are becoming
Eroguy. They have been grinding or talking for 1S
months. There is an important general election
coming this fall. In a large number Of states, pri-
mary elections take place IN June and July.
For this. and many other reasons, official Wash
sngton says they are ready to face the pact music
and then return to their homes for fence building
purposes.
There are many faces In the picture that will Be
b-otted out OF the frame In the primary and general
elections Of the year.

But behind this atmosphere Of

more than q little drama and more
TINA a little irony.
Few knew that during the long

holds a gay gathering. For some
thing like a month and a half, this
