This is the season of the year when social functions are most numerous and when "girls, who have reached the "coming-out" age are formally introduced to society. The question of dress is, naturally, an extmaely important matter to every debutante, as every one of them wishes to make1 a favorable impression on the occasion of her entrance into society.

This year's debutaiues are unusually fortunate, for never cMd fashion favor the' young so much as it doe3 now. Youthful dance frocas are extremely attractive at present. Most debutantes prefer their evening frocks round rather than trained.i because they have not yet tired of dancing and do not wish to bi iJered by their trains. Chiffon, satin', tulle, lace and tiny ilow- out of ten ot the pretMest daucing frocks are made but, of course, there- is an infinite variety in the combina-, tions and in the arrangement of decol- letage ai sleeves, the color schema, the trimming details, etc. A good deal of fine gossamerlike 'lace enters into 'many of these youthful evening frocks, appearing in scant or perfectly flat flounces, in slightly revealed petticoats, in fichus, and fine silver lace plays an important role, being far more popular for youthful toilettes than gold.

Where the tunic is of some soft silk instead of chiffon oi tulle itis quite likely to fail over a lace-flouncad petticoat, and quaint effects suggestive of Watteau are obtained by drapery caught back and held by li ttle nosegays -or wreaths or. single blossoms. One Jiiust reckon with these flowerets in planning evening frocks for the girl. They are shown in innumerable forms and colors and used in innumerable ways. Often sciiie bit of originality in the grouping or color scheme of these little flowers is' the thing' that stamps the frock with success.

Flowers are not confined to the girls evening dresses. They figure, vividly or demurely, upon her visiting costume, her funs, her hats, and the importers show a charming assortment of flower clusters or nosegays suitable for such purposes. For afternoon costumes, costumes for visiting, luncheons, velvet is 4s popular with the girls a3 with the older, and more mature women and the coat and skirt costume of velvet; simply made and worn with a chic 'blouse and good furs, is almost a uniform in well dressed crowds, though the one-piece, frock of velvet and 'chiffon, velvet and cloth, velvet and channeuse, worn under a separate coat is quite as popular, and there are countless piece frocks in channeuse and other silks aad in cloth, usually made on very simple lines with narrow skirt, high waist, and a clinging little bodice showinb some original details to give the mcdel individuality. The cassock style of frock, 'button ing straight down the front, is liked for these little frocks, but tunic, effects, albeit long and clinging, are more 'and more gain grouitd and it looks as if perfectly plain narrow skirt had run its course. One-piece frocks in serge, cloth, are for morning wear nowadays and every girl has at least, two or of these in her outfit, some of them being quite smart enough to serve for informal luncheon or afternoon though without 'losing their xir of tailored simplicity.

There are little velvet frocks too which are considered quite in order morning wear, and the simplest sort of velvet two-piece costume is seen on the street in the mornings llong with the corduroys, velveteens md wool suits, though it will not Hand as hard wear as the others inappropriate for many uses, to which a plainly tailored tweed or jerge may be put. Silks for afternoon and evening ear are especially just now. Theoriginal colorings still prevail and Ihe effects are inor elaborate and gorgeous than formerly. The pastel shades are still in favor for the de cr 111 POLICY Representative Smith Terms it "Spineless Diplomacy" Washington, Jan. 13.

Representa- tive bnutX ot Kansas, Uemocrat, at- tacked President Taft in the house yesterday far alleged failure to protect Americans oa the border during the Mexican i evolution last year.

Mr mkh declared President Taft should have protected Americans dur- ing the hattlf-s of Juarez and Agua Pdeta by ting such steps as were uecessiu'y evea if the president of the Mexican Republic wanted to consider any such step as ah act of war. He said five Americans were killed and 18 wounded while engaged in their work on the American? side of the border and that the troops apparently were there, not to protect Americans, but "to demonstrate to ithe Mexican people that our friendship for them was such ttoat we could stand by complacently and see their troops shoot down our unoffending citizens without raising a hand in their Mr.

Ormsby McHarg, former assistant secretary of commerce and l'a'hbr, who has been in Birmingham 'several days this week, has asserted repeatedly that he is here "on' party business," but the tact that-he is visiting Judge Oscar Hundley and Joseph O. Thompson, both of "whom recently have endorsed Roosevelt for has caused 'the belief that Mr. McHarg's visit to the south is- connected with the ad vancement of the Roosevelt boom for president.
