NEW YORK
uth Gilbert Swan

No private debutante party is with out it's quota of fortune hunters these days, and the heiress hunt is never relinquished by them.
 As for the young men of the social world, their future is being planned almost from the day of their birth.
 There are scores of lads, no more than three years of age, whose names are already registered on the Union League and Knicker- booker rolls. By the time they have reached the necessary age, they will automatically be leigible for membership.
 And you'd be surprised if you were to look over the future" list of such fashionable schools as Groton, St. George at Newport or St. Marks in Massachusetts, or half dozen others. A check would show the names of hundreds of youngsters who are between the ages of three and seven. Shrewd parents of the social worlds have taken no chances - they have en- rolled their children many years before the school age has arrived.
 In half a dozen schools and clubs. the waiting lists run we'll in- to the future.
 It's all far more carefully plan ned than the average person real izes.
 This is all undemocratic, exclu- sive and all that, you may suggest.
 Quite so! But it's preparatory for that timer circle" that makes up Manhattan's swankiest social sets.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-17

New York Few persons out side the 'inner social circle 'ap- preciate the years of preparation and grooming that go into the cre- ation of a New York debutante.
 Here she is once more in the bright and glamorous center of the society spotlight; a radiant young person, whose parents names ap- pear in the Blue Book and whose fortune is presumed to continue on the gold standard.
 In fiction and films concerning the deb and her socially prominent mother, I have found most of the characterizations either unfair or somewhat untrue.
 Far from being neglected by her family, the more important debs are watched by the society ma irons with the greatest care.
 The preparation of an impor- tant deb begins when she is about nine or ten. Then her education in grace and department starts. First she learns to dance, and the selection of a tutor is no small problem. At 13 she must be readied for school and again there is worry over a proper selec- tIOH. ny 10 UT IS Suc tS iSduy AOA presentation to society.
 
 Meanwhile, all, that her mother has learned in years of social con- tact is poured into her ears.
 Once the deb "comes out, the mother begins to watch like a hawk. Much is heard of the pitt falls faced by the poor working girls in a big city, and most peo- pie have a notion that the rich debbies are sheltered from all perils. Actually, their dangers bring gray hairs to their wise mammas particularly in this generation when handsome and slick young men are to be found in the gate-crashing lines and at the very smart speakeasies and functions.
 There are hundreds of young male hangers-on, who some- how manage to chisel their way in- to the "best places" and who are waiting for an opportunity to win the heart of some rich, fashionable youngster.
 So mamma must keep a keen eye on the young men encountered in the course of various parties.
