The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-01-19

Richmond society lis making the
most of the short time before Lent,
and the next two weeks will be de-
sidedly the gayest of the winter. So
cieey here as elsewhere has absorbed
the fad for auction. and the desire
20 try the new dances The former
has found universal favor. but tie
latter IL quite stumbling block. Few
have the temerity to try the new
steps In the face of the avowed dis
approval of the governors of the sew
sral clubs. but even in the exclusive
Monday germans an occasi9 nai frown
from the chaperons has been neces-
eary to nip in the bud the during OF
some of the younger set, who are
eager to practice the steps they learn
ed at Narragansett, Newport or other
resorts last summer
great many of the most proni-
nett society folk OF Richmond are
koing South in the next few weeks
for the late winter, and cnce the mi
grafton South has begun, society
draws but a brief breath before the
charity teas OF Lent are here. 1t is
quite an undertaking TO keep UP with
events these days for instead of
being few and far between they are
many and close together, as glance
al the calendar for the week will
chow.
