The Nashville Sun gives the follow
ing bit of advice to the debutantes of
this season:
Poor little debutantes, don’t expect
too much of your first winter, for though
everything is new and therefore inter
esting, still, unless yon entertain a great
deal, especially with dinners, you will
be slow in getting new friends. As there
are not enough men in society to go
around, you will have to do a lot of feed
ing and coaxing and don’t be too quick
about shaking your boy friends for the
club men. Above everything else,
young debutantes, don't talk very muoh.
As one very wise writer says, don’t be
•‘vulgarly chatty;” do give the men an
opportunity to tell you how pretty you
are looking, and what ‘‘he said and
the said,” and what “they are doing at
the olub.” Think of this, dear little
debutantes, and don’t feel badly if you
are not a belle at your first party.

is meant:
As times are bard, my dear,
And I am short of pelf;
Pray let your presents be—this year—
Something you make yourself.

The Rarest Social Quality,
“SPEECH is silver, silence is
golden,” says the proverb; but
1 speech is golden, too, sometimes,
when we say the right word in
the right place. The being who
is gifted with that exquisite per-
A
I
ception called tact, who can disagree
with us and tell us of our faults without
wounding the most sensitive among us,
who can turn that delicately-worded
little compliment which give us such
pleasure when we are feeling discour
aged, deserves the highest honor. Some
people scorn tact, looking upon it as
nothing better than cunning and in
trigue. These are folk who inform us
that they always ‘ ‘speak their minds, ’ ’
which means that figuratively they
tread on their neighbors’ toes right and
left, and then make things worse by
apologizing to the 'poor
never appear to see the harm they do,
and leave you in blissful unconscious
ness of the error of their ways. Truly,
preserve us 'from the tactless woman.
And this female would be greatly sur
prised to hear that her straightforward
ness was nothing better than selfishness.
For tact can be acquired, and the happy
possessor is no artful schemer, but one
with a charming personality, who sin
cerely wishes to help those around her.
