of these and lends of its member ship to all circles again A girl who Is introduced abroad 1 in a way to meet some very distinguished persons and life in carls has much zest about it particularly fascinating to the newcomer still I 1 cannot say I 1 think it a better way to launch a girl than to bring her out at home 1 I have known a number of english girls who came out in Paris usually the daughters of attaches of the diplomatic corps these girls are always taken homo as MOD as convenient tor presentation at court the introduction at come beans most necessary for bonne yonne british girl I 1 badge any american a woman would feel the came about caving a daughter presented at home in ones own city there Is something knowing native land that gives to character and sweetness to living mr 1 I bate neter brought out a young woman myself and perhaps I 1 hae not thought of this subject as seriously as mothers with n family of daughters said mrs clara bloodgood 1 I do not think that it Is absolutely necessary tor an american girl to make a formal debut I 1 know a great many very estimable people wealthy and who hare quit decided objection to this formality ko I 1 cannot bay
