CHARITY Benefit
New York Society Quets Down
for Time

New York, Feb. % P-New
FORKS social activities changed tone
this week from the crimson tints OF
holiday festivities to the pastel lines
of Lenten days. Time was when
Lent curtailed the activities of the
fashionables until they presented the
hleakness Of semi-mourning. Not 10
today. Festivities simply assume a
more sombre tone and conduct
themselves in the name of charity.
Dinners are smaller-and more
intimate-and for that reason more
enjoyable than the larger formal af-
fairs of mid-season. Dances pursue
their merry way for the benefit Of
some favorite philanthropy. And
the sewing classes keep some Of the
most aristocratic fingers in town
busy during morning hours with the
construction Of hospital shirts, chill
dren's frocks and rompers for chari-
ty.
Nor are the activities OF the sew-
ing classes confined exclusively to
needles and thread. The majority Of
the hostesses provide amusement for
their workers and milady listens. as

CITIES CONSUMS MORE
FRUIT AND

PHILADELPHIA, April 29.-LP)-
Fresh fruit and Vegetable consump-
ton at the three leading eastern
markets, New York, Philadelphia
and Boston, broke all records during
the first quarter of the current year,
based Oh the number Of cars I'M
loaded at these terminals.
The total reached 81 ,595 cars, an
increase Of II per cent over the
corresponding period Of 1928, the
previous high year. Compared with
1926 the volume was 40 per cent
higher.
New York received almost 40, 1000
carloads, Philadelphia, 1O,157 and
Boston, 11,501. Produce dealers say
the increased consumption arises
chiefly from the heavy crops OF
citrus fruits and the increasing acre
age devoted to winter vegetables in
the south.
