You might imagine because there is
| so little in the society columns nova
| days, that people are not doing things
on account of Lent. Nothing to it.
Dances excepted, there is about as
much going on as usual. but the s. R.
is cautioned not to mention it on pain
| of death and the displeasure of the
social headliners. AS the social head
| liners don't like the S. r. anyway, and
treat her with whitening contempt no
matter what she does. the S. r. might
as well bawl them out for giving and
going to parties in Lent, but tn the s ;. Ri
grandeur of the people to whom she
| telephones for news, so she preserves
a clam like attitude about the bridge
| parties that are given and attended
| daily by the most devout church wom-
en- in town. The women think it is
no harm to go to parties IN Lent II
only the parties don't get in the pa
pers." If an S. r. should publish
list of the guests at party during
Lent the women would all give up
their hopes of heaven, although as
long the eleventh commandment Is
not broken, and they are not found
out, they think they have committed
no sin. In other words. they are aware
that the Lord knows all and feel quite
comfortable about 1t, but, o, what II
somebody should tell the Dean!

A little girl had often heard her
mother complaining because the COOK
was wasteful and extravagant. the
mother would come back from one OF
her tours of inspection of the kitchen
and say, What do you Think
found half a loaf of Perfectly Good
bread thrown in the garbage pail! or
Bridget has thrown out those Per
fectly Good baked beans we left from
dinner!" One day the little girl came
in with the tears running down ner
face dragging a dead cat which she
had found in the alley. Mother. she
sobbed, what do you think Here's
a Perfectly Good cat somebody has
killed and thrown in the alley.
