"WEDNESDAY, DEC. 18, 1946 The ‘Outlay’ for a Debut Party Can Run as Low as $500 But Quite Often, It Doesn't *

By JUNE PARSONS Times Special Writer CHICAGO, Dec. 18.—A lot has been written about the social side of this year's debuts—but what about the financial angle? If it doesn’t interest the debs it certainly is item number one as far as papa .is concerned. Especially if he's like the Chicago father who decided in a burst of paternalism that his little girl would come out in style—or not at all. A lovelv supper dance was the thing, he and the girl's mother decided, with no cutting of corners. They were in a mood to spend a thousand dollars or more. The catch is that the party they had in mind—they were stunned to discover—would have run up to three or four thousand.
