Gay Society

Keep Everybody From
Churches.
Almost all of smart society not rep
resented at the races at Benning is to
be met with in the churches, during
this Holy Week. The everyday serv-
ices are being more generously attended

all their time to the exhilaTation Of
horse racing and bridge playing. The

be many parties of various kinds for
luncheon, tea. and dinner The Chevy
Chase Club and the Country Club will
be the objective point for as many as

date, and from Easter on through April
and May. there will be little cessation
of gayety.
