dages for the wounded, but that Is
because the wide circle of individual
endeavor has crystallized into COM
pact and efficient organizations where
the work goes on just as earnestly
without subjecting the individual to
an unwelcome publicity. Certainly
the war sufferers are far from for
gotten by the nation at peace, aud
the activities OF the Secours Rationale
and the American Ambulance are re-
ceiving enthusiastic support.
Some delightful benefit perform
ances for both foreign and domestic
charities are filling in the early weeks
OF the season. The French evening
to be given at Rauscher's November
90, for the benefit Of the French and
Belgian wounded soldiers. will net a
pleasing amount of proceeds, which
the French Ambassador, Mr.. Jusse-
rand, will forward to the headquarters
OF the Relief-Society for the Wound
ed. Keen interest is aroused in the
charming entertainment planned for
the benefit of the Christ Child Society
at the Belasco Theater. December ?,
and many of the most prominent
members of Washington society are
patronesses for the occasion.
Then there are teas for destitute
Confederate families, teas by hospital
boards, teas for foundlings, and vari-
Gus other interesting functions Of
bcneficent nature to balance a week
distinguished by whirl of purely So
cial affairs The charming reception
by the woman's section of the Navy
League launched festivities Monday
evening, and its success was repeated
in round of luncheons, bridge, and
dinner dances, ending with the bril-
liant Patch-Littcll military wedding
yesterday.
In fact, it might almost be called
army and navy week, for great deal
OF the entertaining fell to the lot OF
the society folk in the service, most
OF whom had distinguished guests in
town. The dancing club composed OF
army officers and their wives met for
the second time in the remodeled

initial meeting earlier in the season.
