The Gossip of Society.

The minds and hearts of Washington
women just now are particularly filed
with charity. and many of them are
laboring away as hard as they can, in
view of the aid that must be given
thousands who are suffering on ac-
count of the war.
One hears on every hand of the knit
ting and sewing that the women in so
cicty are doing. 1t has been spoken
of in some cases flippantly, as if it
was but fad of the moment taken
up as a time-killer but on the whole
most people realize how seriously the
work is being done.
So enthusiastic are some of the Wom-
en- who are working for the war vic
Tins that they are carrying their
knitting about with them to nearly
every place they go. Last Monday night
at one of the theaters the audience
was given the novel sight of elegantly
gowned women in d box busily plying
the needle between the acts.
These women were Mrs. BurleSon,
wife of the Postmaster General; Mrs.
Thomas Ewing, and Mrs. Thomas F..
Walsh, who was hostess for the other
two ladies and their husbands. Mrs.
George Howard also knits at the thea
ter and the example set by these ladies
of social distinction bids fair to set
the whole female population of the
United States knitting. With the con- =
stant practice they are getting, no
doubt they will soon be SO proficient
they can knit without looking at their
needles, and then a play will have to be
very good indeed to hold their at
tention. The peasant women of Europe
knit without u glance at their needles
or wool, ii being no uncommon sight tt
