Like the sword of Damocles over
= the heads of the society folk of
Salem, the past month, is lifted at last
and the social calendar is beginning
once more to take on a semblance Of
normal times. As yet, there has been
no great display of festal spirit, most
of the gatherings of the past week be-
ing most informal. Dinner parties and
club meetings, where friends met to
greet each other again after the long
silence Of the epidemic and to plan
for future festivities, have predomi-
mated. The new month that is begin
ming today promises to be one of un-
limited merriment, holding, as it does,
number Of holidays, which will be
celebrated with all due gaiety.
