Social items are scarce during the
Lenten season. The command Is Let
not the right hand know what the left
hand doeth," and charitable people do
not wish to announce when they have
provided a dinner for family Of hun
cry children, or helped some poor or
phan girl or boy to obtain enough edu-
cation to support themselves. Nor
are these short and simple annals
OF the poor as interesting to most
readers as the description of the deco
rations at a dance, a pink tea, bridge
party or dinner. There has been an
unusual amount Of charitable work
done in Richmond this year, and less
than usual of the social gayety.
