= OCIETY is almost in the shadow
Of the Lenten season and the last
days before the weeks of peni-
tence are to be made brilliant with
gayety SO that their memory may
linger through the gray season. The
activity Of the past week and the
crowded calendar Of the days to come
are witness to the enthusiasm in a
variety Of entertainment. Almost
every day last week there were two
and often three bridge parties. and
with the elaborate dinner parties,
afternoon teas, luncheons and debu-
tante parties that are distinctive
and claim an attention all their own,
the week has indeed had a succession
Of enjoyable events.
The social fabric as II appears in
retrospect was varied in design There
were informal affairs, those congenial
hours favored by many hostesses. when
they invited a few Of the closest
friends for an hour or two, and the
bridge parties, when every one who
played cards was happy and those who
do not play were hidden for the hour
after the game TO the tea cups. There
were elaborate dinner parties. TOO, and
smaller dinners at home, but there was
no dancing last week.
It would seem as if the dances were
reserved, with all their attendant
gayety, for the last days before Lent.
First Of the pre-Lenten dances comes
that Of the Gaiety club, then the dance
of the Friday Night. and lastly, of
course, the two Mardi Gras dances.
Bridge was in favor almost every
day last week and the Monday party
that was an enjoyable event of the
series was given by Mrs. Crawford
Clarke at her home in Preside terrace
Mrs. William Thomas was hostess
Tuesday at a bridge given at the st.
Francis. and Wednesday marked the
date for three or four bridge parties
Mrs. J. A Margo entertained at her
home in Pacific avenue al a bridge
party given for her sister Mrs Van
Dyke Of Los Angeles. Mrs Henry
Clarence Breeders party was a Tues
day event, but another bridge party of
Wednesday was given by Mrs. A. Wen
zelburger at her home in Steiner street.
The bridge given by Mrs. Joseph An
derson Chanslor was an elaborate event
and memorable for the fortunate
guests. Among those who played for
the handsome prizes were:

as this much used word is made to

exclusively a daytime color and among
our society women none wears the
shade more effectively than Mrs. Fran

Speaking of the gowns in the fash

footballs that will allow of 10 peo-
pie using them at once; towel racks
will accommodate eighteen persons
at once, are also on the ground floor,
and the toilet arrangements are per-
feet.
The main stairway leads out of the
reception-room, and is fine wide
one; another staircase reaches to the
second floor from the back of the
house. This obviates any danger
from fire, the children being able to
very quickly make their way down
stairs.
On the second floor four more bed
rooms are provided for the faculty,
and also a sewing-room. on the lat
ter is the lanai, which is thirty-eight
feet long by twelve feet wide. This
veranda will probably be used as a
sewing-school. Baths and toilets are
also provided on this floor for the
grown-up girls. ...
The whole building is designed on
plans suitable for the tropics, and
every detail has been well consider
ed and thought out. The wind, which
blows fairly strong at times up the
valley, has been guarded against,
and the building has been clamped
down to solid rock by some twenty
bolts which extend to the founda-
lions on which the edifice is erected,
In the yard another building, 30 X
40 will be erected, and this will be
used as laundry. The latest style
of fixed tubs, etc, have been arrang-
ed for, and running water, hot and
cold, will be on tap. This laundry
will be one of the best in this coun-
try when complete.

Archie Chisholm, who met with an
accident at the Palace Cafe yesterday,
which resulted in his having his ear
split open, refused to allow the Doc

appears that Chisholm had finished

cafe, had tripped and fallen to the
floor; his head landed on a cuspidor
and the edge of that article cut his
ear wide open.
The injured man was taken to the
hospital and as soon as the doctor had

up, Chisholm walked out of the institu-
ton, refusing oallow the patching to
be done.

When To Feed Poultry Food.

There is prevailing notion with a
certain class of poultrymen that it
doesn't pay to force laying fowls during
the warm summer months-that they
will get along very well with ordinary
food and what they can pick up about
the yards. That this opinion is not
shared by the most progressive poultry
men is shown by the fact that not long
ago the manufacturers of Pages Per-
fected Poultry Food" inquired of some
of the prominent poultry breeders of
New England as to what they consider
ed the best time in which to feed this
food D. ]. Lambert of Apponaug, R. l.,
who is famous as breeder of high class
poultry and one of the best known in
New England answered as follows: 1--WE
feed Pages Poultry Food every month
in the year.
If you want to know more about this
food and the best ways of using it, write
c. S. Page, Hyde Park, VT, for his book
let, profitable Poultry" 1t will be

another achievement which it is doubtful
can be duplicated in all America. He
