Nevertheless, the i,-e of deb- utante is anything but easy. She must spend hours each day at fit tings, for she must have a new dress for every party Sheainvariably participates in charity work To- day I saw a pretty, brunette young woman at the Stork club dressed in the uniform of a Red Cross nurse. She was sitting at table with a cup, accepting aims for a Thanks giving charity dinner. At her elbow was a champagne cocktail Mothers of debutantes do not mind their daughters drinking champagne; that isn't really considered drinking. But they can't have anything else.
 Year after year stories hit the papers of $50,000 being spent for this or that coming out party. Pay no attention to these figures. Say there were 300 guests. It would be impos- sible for 300 people to consume $50,000 worth of the finest cham pagne and food in an evening. A good guess is that $25 900 is an history making party.
 Some debutantes nave three or four parties, but the usual figure is two. The first one is just a tea, brushing party, as they say, for this gets rid of the nice old

MISS FRAZIER
 IS DEBUTANTE,
 PRESENT YEAR
Photographers Have Much 10 Do with Selection
 of The One
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.--It is pretty generally agreed that 18-year-old Brenda Frazier is the debutante of the year. Last year it was Gloria Baker, half-sister of young Alfred GWinn Vanderbilt, the racing en- thusiast. And the year before it was Eleanor Young, who came to New York from Texas via Newport.
 There are many elements which enter into the unofficial selection of any young girl as the debutante of the year The photographers have a lot to do with it. If she photo graphs well, if her personality lends itself to exploitation, if she has money in her own name in addition to being the daughter of wealthy parents, she may awake one morn ing to find herself monopolized by the magazines, the newspapers, the nightclubs, and the Metropolitan world
 1 New York debutantes, almost without exception, have a desire to earn money, no matter how well off financially their families may be. That is why you will find this one endorsing face creams and that one bath salts in the advertising sections of leading publications. The New York papers recently carried the picture of a socially prominent young woman who is lending her testimony to a certain product. For the use of her name she received $100 and was tickled to death.
 This" she explained, lis money I won't have to ask my mother for"
 This ambition to earn money and to economize frequently manifests l itself in humorous fashion. The de-

League oficials pointed out that

League quarters have discussed
the possibility of Japan's outright

the mandates rather than of the

Japan's leaders repeatedly have
