NOCIETY EVENTS

This week practically ends Pen
dleton's formal social season until
after the close of Lent for the sea-
son of abstinance will be ushered in
next week with the arrival of Ash
Wednesday. While the period of
fasting is not observed so strictly in
Pendleton as it is in some other parts
OF the country the number Of really
formal events during the ensuing
forty days will be exceedingly few and
far between. Since Lent comes so
early this year It is very probable
that there will be a greater number
Of social events follow the close of
the season than usual
The bali given Thursday evening
by the ladies civic club for the bene-
fit OF the public library proved n
very enjoyable occasion indeed.
Though the attendance was not as
large as was anticipated, due no
doubt to the fact that Pendleton has
had many big dances this season. yet

money was added to the library fund.
