Society

Without single big entertainment
20 It's credit. the past week dragged
along with only few small teas and
iuncheons to relieve its duliness, which
bore q wonderful resemblance to the
hot lazy days of midsummer. What
little energy has been left society by a
gay winter and gpring fever Is being
employed FOR summer preparations ana
philanthropicy work. There is much
discussion these days Of the relative
charms of various resorts. and family
conferences and consultation with
guide books and charts while away
many an hour. AS usual Il number ct
Richmond people VIII spend the sum-
mer travelling In Europe. and at the
various resorts on the Maine coast.
while others. because they are SO pa
triotic they cannot confess that any
place Is more delightful than the vir-
glnia springs or because they dreao
long Journey and prefer their own
neighbors for the intimate chats and
bridge parties Of the summer piazza,
follow a custom and long standing.
and sotourn at some one Of the Vir-
Sinia mountain resorts for the warm
season.
