School is done. and home from the
various colleges and schools of note
have come the girls and boys OF Rich
mond's younger society set They are
really quite serious this summer. No.
they do not intend TO have all the fun
possible. for they have only been back
a few weeks. and already Il score OF
dances and informal parties have been
given. but they are taking the war sit
uation quite seriously. Ii is strangely
sweet TO see girls who only yesterday
tucked UP their yellow curls. knitting
steadily for the soldiers and sailors. for
time was when the gay knitting bags
Asld brighter and more delicate fabric
intended for the personal adornmcnt of
the pretty little thing who did ii. Now
they are khaki and dark blue and
gray They are quite systematic in
their arrangement OF time. So many
hours week TO work in the Red Cross
rooms. so many hours a week al the
war relief: and YOU needn't for one
minute believe tina; they are novices
y, the job. for they had Red Cross
classes and made surgical dressings al
college all session
Then they all want job" All the
allowances they could muster during
The winter are not enough for these
girls to give 10 war relief work. they
must have more, and in many OF the
schools they pledged themselves, as
matter OF pride, to earn certain
amount before the fall term of college
opened. Really. YOU can see for your
self how finely our younger set is COM
ing along There is che woman OF UNI
happy memory. we are iold. who had
no soul above buttons.
But then YOU are sure that she had
at least ten children with faces TO WASH
and clothes to menI. and SO, Of course,
she couldn't think of anything in the
world but her orl humCrum existence.
The girls back trcm college most ceri
tainly have souls far above buttons.
and their interest In affairs of the ma
ton speaks much for the ideals
fostered in their education.
The boys and sirls are home from
school with a new light in their eyes
and such a wonderful strong purru
and vision Of life III their hearts 1t
makes interesting reading, this march
OF the Years. with its troop OF eager
faces chat thrcng the sunny road of
life's highwaJ.
