W4
aT
rtOClETV will wend
bit. wT Cne,tnut
inihrard this
noon. when Dorothy
B m 1 o n Newbold,
daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur Emlcn
Kewbold. will be pro-
-ented to society at a
large tea which her
parent will give.
Urolhy 1 the New
bold' youngest child.
.... In fact, one of tho
youngest membors of
the Dixon connection,
though her cousin,
Margaretta Dixon, has
jet to make her debut
Her mother was Miss
jllta Dixon, a Bister of
Mrs. nussell Thayer.
Mrs. Percy Keating.
Mrs. Linton Landreth,
Mrs. Francis Alison,
Mrs. Wilson Sharpless,
George Dallas Dixon,
A. J. Dallas Dixon.
Thomas Dixon and T.
Henry Dixon.
A most representa
tive number of women
will receive with Mrs.
Newbold at tho tea this
afternoon; among them
Mrs. Charles Herman
Krumbhaar, Mrs. Ed.
ward Bell Krumbhaar,
Mrs. John II. Packard,
it, Mrs. Henry M.
Bangs, of Naw York;
Mrs. Norrls Vaux, Mrs. George Howe,
Miss Anna Ingersoll, Miss Balvadora
Meade, Miss Sayres, Miss Elsie Slnkler,
Miss Julia Lewis, and among the debu.
Untes of this year and last who will
receive will be Violet Welsh, Margaret
Harris, Patty Borle, Katharine Lea, Mary
Loverlng, Galnor Balrd, Elizabeth Trot.
' ter, Eleanor Pepper, Molly Sharpless, Al
freda Lewis, Emily Welsh, Lorraine'
Graham, Anne Lewis, Mozle Graham and
Molly Thayer.
And, my dears, speaking of Molly
Thayer, have you read her book7 It's
quite one of tho cleverest little satires on
society I have read for many a day. She
has dedicated It, by the way, to her
cousin Dorothy, and she calls it "Advice
to Will-be Debutantes." It Is a scream!
Bhe says herself in her preface that she
does not wish to criticize society ; that
the realizes the value of such an Insti
tution; but she goes on to say: "There
are certain whims and eccentricities,
codes of manners and of morals, and a
misinterpretation of values in society
which we are apt to acc?pt without ques
tion as a kind of unwritten law, because
we see others accepting them In the same
way. Some of these customs are entirely
trivial and foolish. Others tend, as I have
said, to depreciate in our minds the mean.
ing of true worth and honor; still others
bind us down beneath a kind of petty
tyoko which we may dislike, but which
' we have not the courage to throw off"
and a lot more I should love to quote to
)ou had I space, but she finishes up
-this little prelude with; "Would we have
society simpler and more sincere? Let
m be so first ourselves."
Then, my dears, tho fun begins. She
, tells you how to act during a debutante
SJ-ear and, believe mo, it's killing. Her
t description of a large dinner and of the
; Assembly, which she designates under
"How to act at a large ball," Is simply
perfect. And, then, what the debutantes'
knowledge of history should be is rich
ksyond words. She ndvlses tho coming
buds to familiarize themselves with all
' the horrors of torture ever inflicted "on
People throughout history. What they
were inflicted for, on whom and when,
she declares is of no consequence whdt-
v soever. One paragraph says: "Learn the
name of the prison in Paris. It is the
Baitille. B-A-S-T-I-L-E. nemember that.
If you do not know where some one was
guillotined or stabbed or chopped to
: pieces, eay the Bastille. No one will
K contradict you."
Another charming bit of historical in.
(formation tells us that "Napoleon con.
iQuered everything, and then he beiran
losing everything and finally somebody
wight him and put him on a ship and
Joolc him out to sea and left him on an
Island. You see he did not have a boat
ana It was too far to swim ashore. He
spent lots of time looking at the sea
Uh his arms c ossed. After awhile he
died."
There are also Instructions on how to
behave at a dinner, how to talk while
ttng and how o eat while talking,
Flirting Is also spoken, of. and a debu
tante's necessary knowledge of art, muslo
jnd literature. Don't fall to read the
oook. my dears, It is worth It.

awakened to the necessity of a war with

was fired with tho loftiest patriotism and
a youthful eagerness to enlist Blaxe real,

Fighting, In fact, had been ono of his
earliest accomplishments, and he prided
himself upon knowing as much about It as
any one man could learn. Ho believed In
fighting both as a principle and as an
exercise; In fact, ho attributed his good
health to hla various neighborly "unpleas
antnesses," and he had moro than once
argued that no great fighter over died of
a sluggish liver or pf any ono of tho other
nis that beset sedentary, peace-loving peo
nle Nations wero like men too much
ease made them flabby. And Blaxo had
hla own Idea of strategy, too. Bo during
the perusal ot his paper he bemoaned the
mistakes his Government was making Why
waste time with ultimatums? ho argued
to hlmislf He had never done so. Ex.
perlence had taught him that tha way to

room. Their conversation had not dis
turbed him at first, but now an occasional
word or sentence forced Ita meaning through
his preoccupation, and he found himself
listening.
Paloma's visitor wns a woman, and ns
Blaxo harkened to her voice he felt his
heart sink It was Mrs. Strange. She
as, here again With difficulty Blaxo
conquered hn Impulse to flee, for she) was
recounting a story all too familiar to him.
"Why, It seemed as If the whole city of
Galveston was'' there, nnd yet nobody of
fered to help u" the dressmaker was say
ing "Phil was a perfect hero, for the
ruffian was twice, his slxe. Oh, It was an
awful fight! I hate to think of It"
"What made him pinch you?" Taloma
Inquired.
"Heaven only knows. Some men are
dreadful that way. Why, ho left a black-and-blue
mark !"
Blaze broke Into a cold sweat and cursed
feebly under hla breath.
"Ho wasn't drunk, either. He was Just
naturally depraved. You could seo It In
his face."
"How did you escape?"
"Well, I'll tell you. We chased him up
acm:s the boulevard and In among the
tents, and then" Mrs. Strange lowered
her voice until only a murmur reached the
listening man. A moment, then both women
burst Into shrill, excited laughter, and
Blazs himself blushed furiously.
This was unbearable I It was bad enough
to have that woman In Joncsvllle. a con
stant menace to his good name, but (o allow
her accrss to his own homo was unthink
able. Sooner or later they wero bound to
meet, and then Paloma would learn the
disgraceful truth yes, and the whole neigh
borhood would likewise know his shame. In
fancy, Blaxe saw his reputation torn to
shreds and himself exposed to the gibes of
the people who venerated him. He would
become a scandal among men, an offense
to respectable women : children would shun
him. Blaxe could not bear to think of tho
consequences, for he was very fond of
tho women and children of Jonesvllle, espe
cially the women. He rose from his ham
mock and tiptoed down the porch Into the
kitchen, from which point of security he
called loudly for his daughter.
Alarmed at hla tone, Paloma came run-
nlng
quickly
"Get her outt"
"Get shed of her."
"Her? Who?"
'That varmint."
"Father, what alls you?"
"Nothln" alls me. but I don't want that
caterpillar crawlln' around my premises.
I don't like her"
Paloma regarded her parent curiously.
"How do you know you don't llko her when
you ve never seen her7 "
"Oh, r'e seen her, nil I want to; and I
heard her tnlkln' to you Just now, I won't
stand for nobody tellln' you bad stories."
Paloma snickered. "The Ideal She
