It almost seems as though a revival of the olden days was in prospect, with everyone hurrying to entertain before the penitential season arrives, which, by the! way, comes next Wednesday, Washington’s birthday and Ash\ Wednesday falling on the same day. Sandwiched in between | these gay affairs soliciting for the Y. W. C. A. fund has been| accomplished and in no small way, for at this date a most presentable total is in evidence. are: Mrs, Philip Stanley, who is general chairman, Miss Flora Humphrey, Mrs. John C. Loomis, Mrs. Stanley Goss, Mrs. E. W, Schultz, Mrs. Robert Parsons and a great many others equally well known whose names would add prestige to any affair of this sort, ) * x % T addition to other events have been the betrothal an- nouncements, and the consequent nuptials. They, of course, are always with us, incr ng in number as the Lenten season approaches. With its arrival they usually drop to a scatter- ing few.
