SOCIETY FEELS STRAIN
But really every one is getting
1 frightfulIy tired. The girls prefer
sleeping late in the mornings to any
charm of shipboard luncheon or uni
formed escort. A general inclination
to get away. from the crowd" is TAX

I to be in the thick of events. The
Fairmont hotel. which used to hum
from early s o'clock until long after
midnight. is silent now until nearly
noon, and even then the girls want to
take their coffee black, and fancy that
it looks little too rough on the bay
to try going out to the ships.
Almost all the navy women. however,
| lunched on the different battleships
yesterday. returning early in the after
noon TO have a nap before the ball.
