This program, if carried out, would permit of sufficient time to float the Friesland and repair all damage. But the passage to Port Sald was a tem- pestuous one and the passengers saw ‘“old ocean” in his ugliest humor throughout the woyage, and they will be able to tell tales quite as exciting as those who peopled the overdue steamers last month. Theoretically, soclety goes into sackcloth, fasting and ashes during the forty days of penance provided by the church. 1t was generally conceded by every fatigued debutante and matron when Shrove Tuesday fung the knell to gayety that nervous p tration would be the Inevitable result if one week more of dissipation remained. Balls, cotillions, pal pondres and opera par- ties are relinquished glorfes, but women are Tooking about now in all directions for some diverting hours. Lent is essentially the season for cliques and clubs. Durlng the gay months one is often apt to dance vis-a-vis to Mrs. Lord- Xnows-who, as the Virginia colonel expresses ft; but In the fasting time all such social lJaxities are avoided. ‘“Women of a feather flock together,” forming thelr own select afternoon entertalnments and morning recrea- tlons—for the evening Is unanimously kept for rest and sleep. Lectures are coming In for a deal of atten- tion; not merely those hours of Instruction Rurnished by well known and well paid trav- elers and short story writers, but from lec- turers whom the clique themselves provide, the lecture to be glven in some private dra fog room. One or two such gatherings of youug women have been styicd Current ‘Topic elubs. Twice a week ho hours from 11 to 1 are devoted to the discussion of happen- ings, soclal, political, religious. In one club the lecturer is a clever young graduate of Smith college, who has heen persuaded for the first time In her studious career (o take up the position of cxpiunler. Mer readivg mecessarily Is extenslve, current magazines and newspapers having to be glanced over by her each day. She glves In terse re- marks a resume of the doings of the world to the ones who have gatherad to listen. The girls who form the class declare that ey also are studying quite hard; it s cer- inly true that they discuss vital topics with an interest and enthusiasm that iudi- cates they are doing quite a good bit of thinking on thelr own account. Another style of lecture is listening to those interested in model architecture, plumbing, drainage, and all the varlous things about a house which Its mistress should know to preserve pleasant bygienic conditions. These are given by a woman ‘who has thoroughly mastered the situation, and {llustrates her talks with blackboard dlagrams, One of the most delightful varlety in this epidemic of Lenten lectures are those given by Mrs. Howe of Brooklyn on the “‘Noble Art of Housewifery.” They are divided into five parts, treating of housekeeping, past and ‘present, the house one lives in—as to its ven- tlation, plumbing, etc., domestic economy, servants and the purity of foods. These sub- Jects are charmingly told, making interesting the most commonplace details of housekeep- ing. The classes are made up from the ranks of fashionable women, because the American chatelaine, no matter how wealthy, aims to be a clever housekeeper and hostess. Sewing classes are to be as popular as last season, Miss Sloane, Miss Edith Sands, Miss Bend and a number of the leading soclal stars have classes, where the young women meet to sew for the poor. And from sta- tistics it Is proved that the work is not mock- ery. Dozens of serviceable garments have been turned over to the aid socieites from needles of girls whom the world thinks are ignorant of the distinction between a hem and a fold. Some classes meet In the morning, when Tancheon can prove a pleasant finale; others at b o'clock tea, with its reinforcement of men, wind up thelr arduous afternoon task. There are still other hours of sewing done among the poor girls, teaching them how to make the garments the spring will find use for. Materlal is provided by the philanthropic matrons who superintend, and a substantial luncheon proves more than a ‘‘pleasant finale” to these seamstresses. One distinctly smart matron who glves two evenings a week to this Lenten charity finds that her protegees admire her most when she comes adorned with glittering jewels. Instead of the act causing envy, it provides a ripple of pleasure over the class. “May I wear the big stone this morning?” “May I have your bracelet?’ “Oh! please let me put on' the breastpin that looks like a snake,” are the chorus of requests that greet the wearer as she enters the east side room where they meot to sew. She smilingly acquiesces, and the time is spent with each girl shining in the light of borrowed diamonds. It is a treat they look forward to from Monday until Sat- urday. % ghtful Musicale. A most enjoyable musicalo and progressive high five party was given by L. F. and Miss Amy Gernhardt last Tuesday evening, at the residence of F. E. Gernhardt. The time passed pleasantly with music, instrumental #nd vocal, till 9:30, when high five was inaug- urated. A curlous coincldence was that Mr. « L. F.

Another fact that always adds to the atiractiveness of this sort of entertainment 18 preity girls, and in this regard “Two Old Cronies” is ex- ceptionally strong.

Only two performances of “Two Old Cronies” will be given at the Boyd—the mat- inee this afternoon and the regular evening performance at 8 o'clock.
