The devotees of society have been too

TIE devotees of society have been too
busy during the past week making
preparations for the Yuletide festivities
to give much. attention to Dame Fash
ion, and as a consequence the social
world has found itself in rather of a
comatose state.
The coming of the New Year, with
the attendant festal days, will give So
ciety a new infusion of energy. The
fashionable ones are not given to the
wearing of sackcloth or the framing Of
new resolutions. Just as Lent means
a new and wonderful array of bonnets,
SO the New Year brings visions Of
sealslins and festal attire. The holt
days may be a little wearying, but
there will be little time for rest, for the
New Year will bring with it many win
ter gaieties already planned.
