Dances of the Lenten Season ProUe Popular
With DeU0teeS of 7e1pSich0re Among Social Sci

Martha Phinizy, of Athens, who are
visiting Miss Harriet Calhoun. An
other party has been arranged in
compliment to DR.. and Mrs, Ira
Remsen, Of Baltimore, prominent
visitors who are being extensively
entertained as guests OF DR.. and
Mrs. Charles Remsen.
Tonight the dances at East Lake
will be resumed, to continue regu-
larly hereafter during the spring
and summer. Throughout the warm
months the country club is very
popular with the younger set, the
weekly dances being a most enjoy
able feature OF social life.
Atlanta society has found album
dant opportunity to enjoy itself
during Lent, and social life is by
no means dull One difference in
the Lenten affairs and those OF
other seasons, however. is that the
invitations are usually given only a
day or two before, and few cards
are sent out formally. Hence the
outlook may appear unpromislng,
though parties arise day by day to
make things interesting.
Several very pretty affairs have
enlivened the week, notable in the
series being the parties for the IN
teresting visitors mere.
Dg. and Mrs. Remsen have had
several dinner parties and lunch
cons given in their honor They
have many friends ia Atlanta. made
on visit last summer to their son,
DR.. Charles Reu1sen. and his wife,
who have been popular members Of
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-08

TIME fact that dancing is moro
popular this season than ever
before probably accounts for
the very unusual custom Of giving
dances throughout the Lenten sea-
son. Year by year the observance
OF Lent In a social sense grows less
rigorous. though dancing parties
have heretofore been prescribed,
however numerous the teas, lunch
cons and card parties might be.
For one weekend only the clubs
omitted the Saturday evening
dances, but the demand was so In
sistent it was deemed advisable to
resume these affairs. At the Driv-
ing club those who object to dane
ing during Lent are privileged to
attend the delightful dinner parties,
which are as proper q social diver
sion as one could find during Lent.
and leave off the dancing. For those
less inclined to observe Lent the
pleasures of the informal dance aft

hearts content. The Lenten dances,
however, end much sooner than at
other seasons, IL o'clock finding
most OF the guests motoring toward

it lawful for a husband to refuse to

does not consider reasonable and

These bills show us that the
mighty masculine intellect is again
graphing with the great problems
of government that are too pro-
found for women TO understand or
