~INCE the opening of the season
there has been but very little go
- ing On in society. Everything has
been more or less topsy turvey after
the summer vacation as families have
been frightfully busy opening their
homes and getting things in order for
the winter. Now that the summer con.
tingent is back in town once more, So
ciety soon will settle into its regular
groove of diversions, and the bridge,
sewing, s9500'P and various other clubs
will no doubt be resumed for the sea
son.
Although the winter so far gives no
promise of being particularly gay,
there probably will be loads of larger
festivities, such as dances and the
like to carry us through the season.
Things of course will be a little diff
ferent, but only to the extent that the
entertainments formerly given for
pleasure alone, will be for the benefit
of-which will take away not a bit of
the real enjoyment, but will aid great
ly in some worthy cause.
Looking ahead in the calendar, there
is a big jitney dance scheduled to take
place on Saturday the thirteenth at
the armory for the benefit Of the mess
fund of Company Ia. A group Of promi-
nent society matrons who usually take
the initiative in things will sponsor the
affair, and it is bound to swing ahead
to success.
On Friday, the women who are be-
hind the benefit met at the residence
of Mrs Chauncev Bishop to discuss
their plans, as they have some clever
1ueas 70 WORK ouu. Besides The pleas
ure of having a splendid tlme dancing.
there will be other features, one Of
which will be a rare treat for both the
darcers and spectators.
