Holy Week Ia always very strictly
observed IN Richmond. and there will
he few. II any. functions Of interest
given here until after Easter. Charity
entertainments have crowded one upon
another thick and fast in the weeks
OF Lent. One has gone from one knit
ting bee" TO another. only to md Tint
the next day you arc due at knit
ting tea" tho difference being marked
only by refreshments or the absence
of them. The military ball has been
the order OF the day this season. and
hardly week has passed without a
benefit ball for some sort OF orEaniZa-
tion or another. They have been very
attractive events. and. with tho society
season duller than the most pcssinistic
persons ever predicted. they have come
in for large share OF attention from
the dancing set.
Lent has been notable this year for
the absence OF any large and fashion
abie entertainments. and the charity
function has had the lions share OF
Miss Societys engagement book.
For the Easter season all the girls
and boys are coming home from school.
II you look very carefully out OF your
front window you will see them ar
irving by tVos and threes with their
oeSt friends AND roommaics ana the
girl whom nobody else thought to In
yite for the holidays. Such warm
hearted. adorable things they are
these children coming home from school
for the holidays! Some several balls
FOR sweet Charity have been planned
for Easter, hut most of the entertain
ing Will be done in honor OF ;he school
St-l and hoy set
The spring is really here, for ;he-e

hack yard. and cain, robin eating up
your flower seed in their midst. Moth
ing could make YOU more certain OF
spring than blue hyscinths and q robin

OF your nowcr seed.
HOLY Week will mark suspension
or any sort Of social activity. and
fashionable society will attend services
in the churches throughout the week.
With the coming OF Easter Sunday, the
usual informal entertaining which has
been the mode this season on account
OF tho war. will be resumed. There
is 2 very brief spring season in Rich

LET THIS CREAM
 CURE YOUR P|MPLES

For several weeks past Lee & os- good Co. has done a big business in selling Hokara, the skin healer that has won so many friends in Norwich.
 It has been found to heal not only all minor skin troubles, such as pim- ples. blackheads, herpes, @acne, scafy scalp, complexion blemishes, itching feet, piles, etc. but also the worst sores, ulcers, or even chronic eczema and salt rheum. There is yet to be found any form of wound or disease affecting the skin or mucous mem brane that Hokara does not help, and its action is SO quick that those who try it are simply delighted with 1t right from the start.
 In spite of it's unusual curative powers, the price is trifiing. To con- vince every one of its merits, Lee & Osgood Go. will sell a liberal sized jar for 35c. And remember that if you do not think it does what it claims, you can get your money back. You certainly can afford to try it on this plan. t-

LOOKS BETTER FOR
 CONNECTICUT COAL
Fuel Administrator Russell Says Ship ments Here Are in Good Volume.

Bulletins issued from the office of Thomas ". Russell, federal fuel administrator for Connecticut. show that the general fuel situation in this state today is much more favorable to a reasonably comfortable winter season than any former statements from this source have indicated.
 Following on the report from Washington that rationing of coal to householders has been decided upon by the national fuel administration to prevent a repetition of last winters coal shortage. the appearance of the state administrations bulletins-which antedate the Washington report-show that the Connecticut fuel officers are on the job.
 First of all the state fuel office an- nounced that the June shipments of anthracite into Connecticut amounted 1 to 116 per cent. of t1e standard month 1 ly shipment based on the promised de- livery of 66 2-3 per cent. of the new 1 feul years requirements before Nov
 ember l. April and May shipments
 were not up to the standard, it is true, but the first weeks record for 1 July shows that the high June record
 is being continued.
 l There will not be enough house. | hold coal available this winter if un- equal local distribution is not pre-
 vented. The administrative ifficers are sure of that, everywhere. But here in Connecticut it is thought that if pro- per precautionary measures are put in, force early enough-and it seems
 they have been-the people of this state will not know a repetition of last winters suffering.
 According to Washington reports
 the new plan of the national admin
 istration involves department of coal
 allotments in conjunction with each
 local fuel administrators office. Plans
 for this organization have been drawn
 in such detail that local bureaus may
 inaugurate them with little delay ;j Important features of the plan are: First-A close scutiny of every order !. for coal received by any dealer, the l order being compared with a figure
 obtained by very simple, yet effec- tive, formula, showing the rating o1 the house where the coal is to be . used
 Second-Actual inspection of al doubtful cases and a checking up O ; the householder's statements as to coa on hand the space to be heated anC
 other details.
 Third-Refusal to furnish any house holder more coal than a scientific
 analysis shows is necessary. if requi ; site care be exercised.
 The present situation in Connecti
 cut has cleared to such an extent . however, that no permission iron
 Washington is necessary for the de
 livery of prepared sizes of anthricit coal-buckwheat or larger-for the fol 3 lowing classes of consumers: | Domestic consumers.
 Hospitals.
 e Apartment houses or buildings witt ' tenements above the ground floor. l Country, state or municipal building I used for governmental purposes. :. Permission from Washington is nee t essary for delivery of anthracite coa e to any factory and is also necessar, V for any other class of consumers wh 3 normally consume more than thirt, l. tons year, according to the state ad V ministrator.
