He stood, awkwardly, looking after Geraldine and Dysart, but not offering to follow them. "Lot of débutantes here the whole year's output," he said vaguely. "What a noisy supper-room eh, Mallett? I'm rather afraid champagne is responsible for some of it." Duane started forward, halted. "Did you say Mrs. Severn wants Miss Seagrave?" "Y yes.... I'd better go and tell her, hadn't I?"
What DO you think?" "If you really want to know, I think you're crazy! jumping around like a wild Indian, and you a this season's debutante!" "Rubbish! most debutantes are wild Indians at times. But, Nan, I've discovered their secret! Hah! the vilyuns! but they shall be foiled! foiled!! FOILED!!!"
Susan thought her big-sisterly interest in the debutantes very charming to see and, when she had time to remember her sister's little companion now and then, she would carry Susan off for a drive, or send for her when she was alone for tea, and the two laughed a great deal together. Susan could honestly admire here, and Ella liked her admiration.

After waiting days, lamb-like, for her return, restlessness ;" and here Fernmore's shameless affectation of the neglected husband became so irresistibly funny that it provoked prolonged laughter from his listeners, even Droom showing his yellow snags and stretching his mouth to the fullest extent of the law, as he joined in the general chorus; "restlessness gave way to recklessness, and in desperation I invited a half dozen of the oldest and most distinguished widowers in town to dine with me, at the hotel, where they were informed they were to be honoured by the presence of a bevy of the season's prettiest debutantes.
On the other hand, the social life of the city was gay with reaction from war. The newspapers were filled with the summer plans of the wealthy, and with predictions of lavish entertaining in the fall. Among the list of debutantes Lily's name always appeared.
Then she took in her hand the paper containing the addresses of the three girls and regarded it thoughtfully. "It is a curious request, mon pere," she said, in her soft, even tones; "but one we cannot diplomatically disregard. Provided, however " "Yes, Diana;" as she paused. "Provided these prospective debutantes are not wholly impossible." "I realize that," returned her father.
