Debutantes of 1924 are shingle-haired, sleek-looking maidens with delicately rouged cheeks and provocative red lips. As the Victorian debutante concealed her personality under voluminous hoops and draperies, the 1924 debutante successfully conceals hers under paint and powder. The debutante of 100 years hence may revert to type and frankly copy her ancestors who dyed their skins with woad, only with the modern instinct for progress, she may go still further and dye her complexion and hair all the colours of the rainbow. --Evening Express, 7 June 1924
