And the'questlon arises "What shall the girls returning from mart and exclusive finishing schools Come will naturally assume the du ties of assisting In the management of household cares, others will take up numerous pursuits where their talents can be properly utilized, and. forsooth, till others will come back displaying an utter lack of comprehension of the essentials demanded of them for the privilege of being sent to "finishing" schools. Finishing schools do not always "fin ish" ; consequently, many girls who have reveled in the advantages of these admirable, exclusive institutions do not show the proper "balance." Hither they take themselves too seriously or, in the desire to be ultra-smart and brilliant, they rub off the beautiful and bard-earned polish, which places them In a position to be criticised for appalling rudeness and for woeful lack of thought. They are expected to return from the xpenslve establishments into whose portals they timidly enter equipped to become leaders, especially in the social world, the principal quality on which they pride themselves being manner. Can't the debutante or young girl of the day, by following in the footsteps of former society leaders of this and other cities, who were noted for their . graciousness, charm, tact and kind ness, all of Which are absolutely es ential for social success. Imbibe these lovable qualities right at borne? Portland society has an imposing number of such charming girls, who are universally loved by the older folk as well as the younger contin gent. It is the opinion .of many well known social arbiters of various large cities that "no amount of travel or drilling in 'finishing schools' will pro duce that indefinable 'charm or quali ties necessary to gain popularity." Portland men and women, whose opinions carry weight, say "Portland girls are lovely collectively; some are very lovable, some are merely good to look at, while a few are a positive joy to be with." With the month of June arriving so soon, and the Influx of the merry, bub bling youth, determined to relax and anjoy their leisure, society is on the qui vive to note the results of East rn schooling. . The beach. ' resorts are opening up broad vistas for frivolity and. merri ment, and the approach of the next hol iday. Decoration day, which falls on Tuesday this year, thereby adding an extra day to the week-end holiday, is fraught with gayety. House parties are beine- arransred at Clatsop beaches; some prefer the mountain resorts and others will take a motor trip into the valleys and picturesque country for the week-end vacation. Such a festive week as that just closed has rarely appeared in the so cial horizon of Portland at this sea son of the year.
