Debutantes Are Put on A action Block in Frantic Race for Society Favor (Continued From Page 1)

college fc' s'a in attendance, and there Is usually a large amount of liquor. Anxious mothers sit back and watch. ana A DEB. of course, needs a large wardrobe, a minmum. I Ehould say, of at least twenty dresses, which will cost anywhere from S2OO to SI.OO apiece. She will need several 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 cosmestics rim up to expensive items, and then there are complete outfits required for sport, riding, hiking, skating and various seasonal resorts. Also, they need a small car to drive, and one with a chauffeur in constant attendance for formal occasions. Some of them have their own riding horses and jumpers. A constant drain on the debutante's time and energy Is the Junior League, but part of being a deb is making the Junior League. This requires two hours of social : ervice from her a day. She must hold some job for two weeks, and do any amount of social service work. There is no greater strain than the fashionable society wedding of oday, which costs the parents a fortune in decorations, champagne, clothes, caterers and music, and which reduces the bride to a nervous wreck. However, if the deb had been fortunate enough to make a good match this ordeal Is gone through cheerfully by her family. a a a WHAT to do with the presents received from a big wedding is a problem. I knew' one young bride who solved it to some financial advantage to herself bv returning to the shops all duplicate gifts and getting credit for them. * I Jcnow one girl who sent all her wedding gifts to storage, while she went on a long European honeymoon with her husband. In one instance, I was acknowledging receipt of wedding presents for one very well-known debutante nearly a year after the wedding. The list of gifts she had received had run to nearly three thousand, and each one had to be acknowledged by a personal letter. The bride, in the excitement of the wedding, scarcely had glanced at her gifts before she started on her honeymoon. And it wasn't until her return, almost a year later, that she found time to write the customary letters of acknowledgment. Some of the mast tragic roles in the whole society racket are played

by the debs. An easy way to lose your illusions about mother love is to watch an ambitious mother selling her daughter. For, no matter how you describe it. that is what it amounts to. The society racket is a hard game, and it is especially hard on the youngsters who are called on to play it, often against their inclination. I often have wished that some of the people that think society women have a good time could see the time and energy that some of the older women expended on keeping their places in society. Here is what one dowager for whom I worked went through almost every day. Her case is, I think, typical of most society women of her age. During the Newport season all entertaining is very formal, but there are about two entertainments a week that are superlatively so, and when every society woman tries to look her best.

a a a BEFORE each of these entertainments this dowager went through the following routine—which, as I say, may be considered typical of the ‘'idle'' society women of her age and position. Breakfast at 8:15, followed at 9:30 by the chiropodist, to massage her feet with oil, manicure her toes, and relax her feet muscles. He was followed by a Swedish woman—a Newport character. She works only on the back, keeping the fiesh down below the waist, wearing off that middle-aged hump at the neck, and minimizing the underarm bulge. Following the Swedish woman, came Anita, also known to all elderly Newport women. Anita spent from 11 to 1 o'clock with the dow’ager. At 2:30 in came the woman to give her a manicure and an arm treatment, which included a massage to keep the veins of the hand from being too assertive. When she finished, at 3:15, Madame would rest from her beauty treatments and sleep until 4:30, when Mrs. Sweeney came on the scene. For her two hours Mrs. Sweeney charged $25, but the Newport crowd paid it willingly, they had such faith in her ability to keep the diaphragm and abdomen flat. After she was out of the way, Marie, the maid, went up with cocktails, and attended to the ceremonial of the bath. The bath over, enter the make-up artist, a Frenchman, who charged fabulous prices for his services. When he finished. Madame always looked as though she had been molded alabaster. THE END.
