The Lenten Sewing Circle is becoming
quite a feature in Lenten social circles.
It provides an amusement. or, rather, a
social afternoon. and at the same time it
gives the ladies' the pleasing consciousness
that they. are doing charitable work.
The DAY of meeting of the circle has been
changed from Thursday afternoon to
Monday afternoon because of the meet
ings Of the Woman's Club on Thursday
afternoons, and also the lectures given
by Miss Kingsley. The circle, it win be
remembered. held its first meeting at the
residence of Mrs. Sarah r. F~alkinburgh.
No. 307 Montgomery street. On Monday
lest Mrs. Henry Traphagen entertained
the circle at her residence, yarick street.
While the ladies sewed. chapters of an in
teresting book Were read and several vo-.
cal solos were given. Mrs. Harry Nc
Bride will entertain the circle at her
residence. Clifford place. next Monday
afternoon. The Newman Mission is the
organization which is to be benefited by
these ladies. The ladies of the Board of
Managers nave Joined the circle and are
ready to assist the undecided ones by
suggestions as to the desirability of various
articles.
The Philanthropic Committee of the
Woman's Club is doing this same work
and in a quiet way. They meet alternate
Tuesday mornings at the residence of
Mrs. Brice Collard. No. Sc Clinton avenue.
The garments made by these ladies are
for the hospitals of our city which sadly
need such donations. AT the meeting
at Mrs. Collard's last Tuesday morning
one of the ladies was heard to say, DO
you know, / hin we are keeping Lent
in q pretty practical way. We don't
give up candy, or sugar, or pies, or any
thing of that kind, but we give up doing
what We want to and come here and do
work that is disagreeable to most of
US. Why, | never think of sewing at
home. / hate it SO. and then to think of
coming here and sewing for others!'
