Lent Begins Today;
Larger Social Affairs
Of Season Are Over

The Lenten season, which begins to-
day, Ash Wednesday, will as usual be
characterised by a very considerable
lessening OF social activities. Particu-
larry is this true as to the various large
Der OF very enjoyable affairs of that
nature held during the past week or
two. having been the last of series Of
parties. Several of these social organ
izations made their closing parties the
occasion for entertaining guests out
side the club memberships.
During Lent the numerous church So
cieties will be active. however. and
several semi-social affairs to be held in
the interests OF worthy causes are
scheduled The work Of the various
women's study clubs will continue as
usual, and many who do not observe
Lent strictly will no doubt entertain at
smaller social gatherings.
