Hints for Mammas with Daughters to Be . Introduced to Bocial Life, DEBUT OF GERTRUDE RUTGZRS RINGWALT taing for Her heon Moo+ Mes. Teuman Buck Ent Daughter—Tho Dewey | e Burns Dancing Farty —~Dolugs of the Sweils. At this seoson all the peach-cheeked, eurly- headed girls who bave by some mysler.ous Process during the summer ceased to be children and become all at once young women are making thelr bow to the social world. Th:y are announcing, not in 8o many words, but by the most bewitching | smiles, that they are now old enough to ship for the voyage of life if a good inate is to be had to accompany then. It §s a matter of great oxcitement and in- tense interest to the girls themselves, it is a matter of even mo moment to thelr mothers, for the way in which a girl gets started in life is likely to influence all her future. Of coursc Miss Frisky Feather- Bead Is infinitely more taken up with the fit | of her gown and the number of her houquets than with any serious views about the future which {5 natural anda proper enough at her | sge, but sensible, thoughtful mamma has, for- tunately for Miss Featherhead, a somewhat older and discreeter head on her shoulders and means that her dimpled baby, suddenly #hot up into a stately young lady, shall profit by her mother's wisdom and expetience. e sorious To begin with, if it any way possible ghe will give Dimples a coming out tea There are lots of Indolent mothers wio think it less trouble for the daughter to make her first formal appearance in the social world at some one else’s party, or at fome opening ball of the teason, but that arises generally from a selfisl réluctance to take trouble turn the house upside down and have a “function.” Nothing can be mors unwise. A coming out tea is, after all, no such great matter—the furnitire pushed out of the way, some flowers here and there, cards to all one’s old friends, tea, chocolate, bouillon, sandwiches, cakes, fces and bon bons in the dining room, half a dozen of her girl friends in smart frocks to ‘help receive (they may be called upon to be bridesmaids later) and little blushing, smiling Frisky at the door beside mamma, with a bouquet as b'g as her- self In cne hand and half a dozen more piled on the table behind her. It gves her dig- nity and importance at once in the eyes of all the other girls; mammas who are enter- taining for thefr own daughters cannot ig- nore her existence when there is a formal presentation like this, as they may very pos sibly do when a girl slips into society un- noticed and unheralded. Old frends who are not in the way cf going to young folks' balls are pleased and flattered to have the young maid presented to them in due form in het own house, and are thereby inclined to re. gard her amiably, to be “to her fault a litt blind, to be to her charms exceeding kind." Thus she starts fair with a clientele of friends and acquaintances instead of having the whole lonely road to travel uphll. Once debutante is nicely launched, It still remains in mamma's hands to see that the voyage is made easy. Wise mamma doesn't scold Frisky for rushing into undesirable in- timacies. She takes |the more sensible course of Inviting desirable intimates to her house £0 often that friendships arise from mero propinquity. All the nice girls grow to know in time that Frisky's mother has a warm welcome for them, is interested in all their fun and their plavs, and will take the troubls to help in both. So that before the thoughtless young daughter realizos it she has formed her friendships and assoclates in safo quarters. Moreover, a debutante with such a wise mother is learning all this while the art of being a hostess, with all the graces and sweetness of character and of manner Which being a charming hostess Insures For even If the homo is a little narrow and money not very abundant, yet the hospitality 16-not..abated. Instead of “merely ordering in dellcacies with no regard for the subse- quent bills, mamma shows debuntante how tc make dainty dishes with her own hands, and thus bake, "Incidentally, her first lessons in housewifery; how to make a handful of autumn leaves and a few ferns decorate a tablo as much as a great set picce from the florist, and how much more delightful frolic- some little dinners and luncheons of three or four courses seasoned with merriment are “than dull feasts where canvasback and ter- rapin are the only attractions. Still another duty of the debutaute’s mamma is to impress by example and precept the duty of universal courtesy. No wise mother will leave her little maid to frisk away all her days in selfish amusements She will take her along when she goes herso { to call on the older people. She will see that her child learns to appreciate the intelli- gence, the dignity and charm of people maturer than herself, and that she also learns that sweetest of all virtues—deference. She will teach her that the sweet path to the winning of love is carefulness in trifles. The girl who remembers always to Inquire with kind interest after an acquaintance who is sick or suffering, and does not think it too much trouble to go with a book or a hand- ful of flowers as a little token that the in- terest she expresses is real, who remembers to be glad with others' good fortune, to re- call birthdays, write at once In answer to rotes, to make friends with the babies, and sit down for a litt'e talk with the old ladles, s Ing to be a success in her soclal world ‘Whether she be plain or pretty, witty or not. Lastly, perhaps most important of all, is the attitude of the debutante’s' mother to the young men. It s far too common for the . careless, lazy parent to launch the daughter and. then leave her to settle her relations with mon for herself, which is as unwise as anything can well be. It the girl thus neglected fails to attract admirers the sel- flsh mother either is impatient with her fail- ure or else rails indiscriminately at the sel- flhness and stupidity of the modern young man. If, on the other hand, the pretty daughter entangles her affections and makes 4 bad marriage, then the same selfish mother ralls at the perversity of girls. The wise mamma does nelther; she takes pains from the very first to be nice to the nice young man; she does not Insist upon her daughters knowing only Sunday school superintendents, but she sees that the men asked to the house are gentlemen, and moreover, that they are asked often and that the house is made agrecable for them when they come. Her daughter is not thrown at their heads; they find plenty of cther girls there, pretty girls and pleasant ones, and finding 1t a charm- ing, cheerful house they come often, and the girls who, merely seen in a ball room Would never have caught their careless eye, prove to be witty and jolly and a “good Bort,” and they take the pains to be courteous | At balls, remembering what good times they have had at her home. Over and over again “he girl who suffers the anguish and Rumiliation of belng a wall flower owes her $orrows to her mother's neglect and stupid- dty. Men can only judge of a girl when they first meet her by outward appearance. and 80 the pretty ones carry off most of the partners, and many a grl who knows how o ba very agreeable is made o timid by neglect as to be awkward and silent, but & clever and loving mother will make so many friends for her girl by her w manage- ment that there will be no chance for her debutante to be a failure. It will now be come and go among the 400 until the Lenten rest relleves the busy social people. The coming week, particularly, holds in store a large number of interesting af- fairs, principal of which will b> the Smith- Yates wedding and the attending functions, Ou Wednesday evening Mr. Smith of St Joseph will wed Miss Jennle Peabody Yates of this city at Trinlty cathedral, Dean QGardner to officiate.

The Ringwalt mansior place is one of the most artistic homes in Omaha, and yesterday was at its very best, the florist and decorator having been given carte blanche in the manner and style of decorations, The large oak hall, the stair- way and fireplaces ~were enriched with palins and ferns, while the tables and man- tels throughout the lower floor were orna- meiited with American beauty and la France roses, white roscbuds, violets, carnations and chrysanthemums, making a rich and very beautiful floral scheme. .

The fair debutante, an exceedingly pretty girl, suggestive of the east in carriage and manner of cojversation, more than of the west, to which shie properly b:longs, wore a beautiful gown of honeycomb white silk trimmed with accordeon plaited chiffon, draped skirts bearing large rosettes of the silk, and puffed sleesvs. In the coiffure she wore English violeis, and she carried a great bunch of white rosebuds, the ensemble being perfect, making a swe:t plctute of budding young womanhood. During the hours of the reception, 4 to 7 o'clock, a constant stream of gaily dressed women entered the Ringwalt house, and everywhere the most extravagant praises were heard for the elaborateness of the function.

While it is true that the Thurston Rifles are having unlimited success in the gay world of soclety, and can point with pride and pleasure to several soclal events of the past, the surprise party given Corporal George West at his beautiful home in honor of his twenty-first birthday, last Monday evening, marks another gala night in the history of the company, and will be remembered for some time to come by those who happened to be_ present. Last Monday evening Mr. West reported at the armory, intending to drill as hard as though he was going into the national drill at Memphis next spring, never dreaming for an instant that an event was about to tran- spire which would make him the lion of the occasion. After a short drill In the manuel of arms Licutenant Hayward read the Invitation of Mrs. West, announcing the surprise party for her son and inviting the company to be pres- ent. Mr. West was completely nonplused when the Invitation was read, and it was then that he understood why the company was ordered to report in full dress, which he could not understand at an earlier hour. The Jolly crowd of young men who compose the rifies took charge of their comrade and escortad him to his home, where he received congratulations from all present. Upon the arrival at the house the boys disturbed the slumbering echos about the neighborhood with the company yell. Mr. West escorted the company into the house, where was seated an equal number of the fair friends of the boys who uphold and maintain the dignity of the state of Nebraska. Music and cards wers the order of the | evening, several selections being rendered by | the glee club, and were well received. During the evening Lieutenant Hayward made a neat little talk, congratulating Cor- poral West on his arrival at maturity, and concluded by presenting him with a beauti- ful charm in the form of a heart, with a diamond setting, as a token from his esteemed friends. The guests then repaired to the dining room and partook of deliclous refreshments, the table and chandeliers being decorated in the company colors, 1 old gold.

Society has had little opportunity to enjoy dancing this season, and as a result the dancing party given by Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Burns Wednesday evening in honor of their daughter, Miss Burns, and her guest, Miss Phillips of Duluth, brought out the haute monde in large number. The rooms were exquisitely decorated with flowers and ferns, the parlor and library being canvassed for dancing. During the early hours the rooms were greatly crowded with the friends of the host and hostess, but later on the crowd thinned out, permitting the younger set to enjoy the privileges which brought them out. One of the pleasant incidents in connection with the affair was the announcement of the engagement of Mr. George Mercer and Miss Helen Smith, both well known soclety peo- ple, Miss Smith being one of the debutantes of last season and an exceedingly pretty and stylish girl. The announcement was made by Miss Burns, who has been a bosom friend of Mr. Mercer's flancee, and who will un- doubtedly be the mald of honor on the oc- casion of the marriage, which it is under- stood wiil not take place before the spring of '95.

Those among them who had no family hearthstones to gather about made up thefr minds that they were not going to sit up in their rooms studying the design of their carpets or lamenting their ill fortune in being so far from home. They just put their heads: together and formed a family party of their own. And that whs just what it was.
