Pk R MISS SALLY A. ROWLEY Miss Rowley’s engagement to Robert Judd Bertini was announced at a bridge party given last Saturday afternoon, Social Activities About Gown Lenten Season Starts Off In Holiday Spirit With Ash Wednesday and St. Valentine’s Day Falling in Same Week—USual Round of Smaller Bridges, Teas and Luncheons. 'HERE is evidence of the waning fashionable season which has kept society on the go since the last days of October. This is particularly noticeable aside from the falling off in the way of large dancing parties, by the infrequent dinner invitations and the fact that they now are issued very near to the date. There is no more of what in some society are termed “the long distance” invitations for such important events. Prepara- tions of dinner lists for the weeks recently past were started early in December and some of them were sent out many days in advance. * ® * 'HERE remains before Ash Wednesday a trifle less than one week when all the gay life of society is supposed to cease and for the next six weeks as far as really large events go this will be true. Socially speaking, things will be quiet. Small dinners, bridge parties, teas and regular attendance m.-uuumm Brightpn street for the West Indies last Thursday b : “ o0 ise Stolle Eisenberg. & student at Pembroke college in Providence, has been visiting with her parents at Mason Drive during the past | week.

PR Miss Corinne Goodwin, daughter at the theater are in order, not to mention the ubiquitous'|os ar. and Mrs. Burton Goodwin of sewing classes. Sometimes the members do the sewing them- selves; often the work is relegated to seamstresses, but the nain point is that it is done. Which is altogether something. Of course the most popular Lenten diversion is to hie away. o some other place, preferably abroad and that is just what rany social registerites are doing at present. * » *! 'HE exodus for Florida and for ether points south continues on the increase and steamships bound for the Mediter- wean or for trips around the world are all filled.

The party honors Miss Maxine Hart, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Hart whose engagement to Lieutenant Sanford B. Chandler has re- =ently been announced. Invitations for the bridge were issued vesterday to relatives of the family and the friends of Miss flart.
