The social season has come to an end
and those who have made the past few.
months such gaw ones in Raleigh are
taking a well-earned rest. There are few
things that will transpire during the nexr
forty days that will have social fea-
turc attached. though the Lenten Sea-
son will not entirely do away with the
gathering together Of happy young peo-l
BE. The Book Clubs will continue their
meetings throughout Lent, but the social
feature will be eliminated.
Several meetings Of the Choral Society
are booked for the near future and it
is not unlikely that next week will find
the young people rehearsing for an opera
that is TO be given for a charitable pur-
pose shortly after Easter
Easter Week is to be 4 gay one and
already the plans of the young people
are being formed and number of popu
Jar young women have been invited to
make visits to Raleigh at that season.
