If there are any two forms OF entertain
ment that figure more conspicuously than
any others on the schedule they are tab
leaux wants, which enable those taking
part therein TO appear in Oriental cos
tunes, for which there is so great craze
this winter, and dinners, probably because
the fashionable world ought, strictly
speaking. to be fasting.
While here In town there seems TO be
some lingering regard for Lent on the
part OF society. there Is nothing Of the
kind at suburban and winter resorts, TO
which so many of its members have MI
grated without leaving any appreciable
void here. Tuxedo, Lakewood, Ardsley
and the Meadow Brook district OF Long
Island are very gay. while from Aiken,
from Miami. ST. Augustine and. above all,
, from Palm Beach comes news OF such an
uninterrupted round Of festivities that
those who have gone South for rest and re-
taxation, after particularly exhausting
winter, are likely to come back even still
more tagged out than on their departure,
There is, however, one old fashioned
method of observing Lent in New York
which has been retained, namely, the hold
ing of sewing classes which enable coter,
les OF women on terms of intimacy TO meet
once a week at each others houses for the
purpose of doing some sewing for the poor
and, incidentally, exchanging and discuss
ing the news OF the hour. The gossip Is
for the most part kindly and In keeping
with the work. and the very fact that the
work is for charity relieves the converse !,
ton of the imputation OF uncharitabie-
ness. =.
