Lenten Season Has Been Unusually
Busy One From Social Standpoint

Tomorrow will mark the close of
what has been an unusually busy Len
ten season socially, in Fargo and
Moorhead. although such activities
have been Curtailed to a large extent
among those who observe Lent. This
past week, however. has been one in
which the Good Friday influence has
predominated and has been the dullest
socially of the entire Lenten season.
What the influence of the war Will
have upon social events in the TWO
cities remains to be seen, but from the
patriotic response already given, the
prediction seems justified that much of
the energy of the women of the two
cities will be turned into such chan
nels as Red Cross chapter work and
efforts along similar lines of endeavor.
Many new fields for helping their
country are being daily opened to
women. and every indication is that
they are accepting their responsible
ties seriously.

kota National guard. at present on

Easter Sunday supper in the armory.

and will be one to tempt the palates OF
the most discriminating. Preparations
are being made to serve 100. and sew
eral special guests have been invited.
