Modern Manner of Observing Lent.
The society editor of the Atchison
Globe makes this frank apology for
not getting all the news: Don't
imagine that society is dull because
accounts of card parties, with names
of prize winners, do not appear in the
paper. The card parties are occurring
as frequently as even, and decorated
china, silver spoons, books, bon bon
dishes, "prettily" framed pictures and
"daintily" embroidered doilies are all
being given as prizes, but the women
who attend the card parties make
their hostesses promises not to tell
that they gave a party. When the
reporters hear about the social events
and inquire, every woman who attend
ed party solemnly swears that there
was no party, no prizes, no anything.
OF course, the ninth commandment
does not come right out and say,
Thou shalt not tell whopper," but,
when the reporters went to Sunday
school, they were given to understand
that it covered fibbing, all right.
