The social season is at low ebb, as far as really large affairs are concerned, during Holy week, but for all that. the week brought many a.,small party, several of them quite important. The Large number of young people in town for the 11oi- days, to say nothing of the spring brides, has made it necessary to give some entertainment during the unusually quiet week. On Monday Mrs. Russell Williams of Hartford entertained for Miss Irene Swift. Tuesday Mrs. George Boil gave a bridge party at her home.
 Going on down through the week practically every day saw some par ties. Of course Good Friday wal generally observed with church services and social quiet. Tomor- rows most important event will be the Easter services at the. churches. One always goes to church on Faster Sunday, for brief hour of prayer, to see the beautiful flowers and hear the lovely music which are quite as much a part of the Easter services as the sermon.
 Whatever was lacking by way of entertainments this week will be more than made up for with the events of Easter week and the weeks to come.
 To come back to the bride for she of course is the shining light of the weeks to come.

A Wonderful Convention

The Chicago convention OF the Saloon League of
America is pronounced by careful observers among
League leaders having been the greatest i'll point OF

1918 when in Columbus Ohio, the League declared for
national constitutional prohibition.
Not only has the convention been great gathering,
for the just given but it attraced immense
from the newspapers which gave it tremendous
publicity.
The reason why this convention was SO well attended.
we'll written up and we'll impressed the minds of those
who attended is that there feeling i'll the minds OF
both the friends and foes of prohibition that the present
day marks period when interest conferred be-
fore in the future OF prohibition SO extensive is the
propaganda OF the vets that thousands of their fol-
lowers have been led believe that the Anti-Salcon
League is decaden and senile, and that prohibition is

ton of the Vosead act In other words, wet organiza
tons have made these people believe that the League

corner.
Even many friends prohibition have become alarmed,
because they wondered after all the had been
able make nroads Congress; there was dan
ger they feared and they wondered the League
vigorous The convention proved that the League
like of DID, is in the condition where its EYE is
dmmed nor its natural force abated"
The League demonstrated that is live organization
that it has definite program and that it put that
program into execution
The attendance and interest in the convention
evidence of lively interest in the fight make proh'
btion fully effective, and of support of the League and
its program.
There is plenty of fighting ahead but nobody who is a
good observer has any notion that there is any chance
whatever for the vets.
