Lent is having its effect on society,
though this old world goes on just the
ame. The only large affair in sight so
far is the entertainment for the st.
Nicholas Day Nursery in the middle of
the Lenten season; then there are, of
course, smaller things, but the funny
thing about people is that, though they
entertain and dance and prance in this
season, they seem to want to do it be-
hind closed doors, which seems slight
" inconsistent state of affairs, does it
not?
New York women are ever leaders in
their idea will certainly cost them more
than mere money. for they will give of
themselves and become saleswomen
hack of counters for a whole week in
Glmbels store. The idea is to benefit
the convalescents, who are discharged
from the Bellevue Hospital, and their
families also At least so women
viii be scattered about through the
store and they are TO receive 10 per
cent OF their sales for the benefit. Such
prominent women as Mrs. Nicholas Bid
de- Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson, Mrs.
Clifford Pinchot, Mrs. Lewis Stuyvesant
chanler, Mrs. Frank Lyon Polk, who,
by the way, was our own Lily Potter,
the charming daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jimmie Potter, and numerous other So
dety women will take part.
