S OCIETY

- FIARITABLE affairs distinguish
the Lenttn season in the large
cities where suffering prevails
in distressing degree, and in
London, war parties" for the
benefit OF the RED Cross are popular.
Boise's big charity ball usually suf-
fees for the annual need for funds to
carry on the work OF assisting in the
care Of our needy, and the many deeds
Of helpful kindness extended to the
unfortunate are expressed quietly and
without the knowledge of the public.
Some entertaining, most of II OF an
informal nature, will be done for the
Misses Laura and Margaret Shoup,
who will be Mrs. Eoff's guests and
whom society Will welcome with open
arms, so long has 1t been since they
we're here. The Boston Grand opera
continues to be the principal theme of
conversation at afternoons, dinners
and evenings Of cards or dancing. The
novel plan Of having ''Dress-up, clean
up and paint-up'' week from March %
to April with all kinds of amusement
during that time furnished entirely by
local people, gives so much promise of
q general good time as to assure the
presence of immense crowds from out
of town. Beautiful weather usually
prevails at that lime and the carnival
spirit will dominate everything. With
the suggestion that band concerts, a
free dance and other attractions be
placed on the list of amusements, the
crowds will have plenty of diversion.
Among the pleasant affairs of the past
week, the Columbian club card party
was one OF the mbst enjoyable.

POSTAL AUTHORITIES
ASK COOPERATION

with the inauguration of the new
motorized rural route system, we must
have the cooperation of the business
men," said Frank Wilson, superinten-
dent OF mails. Business men should
secure copies of the new routes so
that they can become acquainted with
the changes to avoid trouble in the
post office
Many letters and packages were de-
layed today because of the failure to
place the proper addresses. The rural
route patrons have also been asked by
Mr.. Beck to cooperate in the change
and inform all persons who are in a
habit of sending mail to them that
their route has been changed The
clerks in the post office were con-
fused this morning with the changed
addresses.
Although the rural route carriers
desks have not been changed each car
rier will work on two of the former
desks In arranging the mail before
they leave In the morning. None of
the carriers have the regulation auto
mobile body but all of them have made
arrangements for building a special
body to comply with the provisions of
the post office order. The new body
will be on the order or a delivery
wagon with the words ~. S. Mail" on
the side. All of the carriers are using
Ford automobiles.

Abusing a Privilege

Uncle Sam has provided general delivery
window in the post office for the convenience of
transients and visitors of the city. This window
has degenerated into place where clandestine
correspondence reaches its destination. Men and
women, many Of them married, boys and girls,
with residences in the city, receive mail here
which they fear to have delivered at their homes.
At Columbus, Ohio, the postmaster has issued
an order limiting the delivery Of mail at this win
dow solely to transients. Here's how the persons
msusing the window were detected:
Each person calling at the general delivery
window received request to call at the inspec-
tors, office. Then came the question:
what is your objection to having your mail
delivered at your home or place of business? ?" In
some few cases satisfactory alibis were forthcom-
ing, the inspector said.
However, the majority, comprising men Of
all ages and girls and women from 20 to IS years,
at once gave indications that delivery of the mis-
sives at homes places of business would be
very undesirable" he added. 'The number of
married persons who had mere friends with
whom they were corresponding two or three
times week was surprising. But, of course,
there were plenty of unmarried folks in the lot.
Why not try the inspectors system here?
