I was generally cancelled by every fatigued debutante and matron when Shrove Tuesday rung the knoll to gayety that'nervou9 pros. traton would bo the Inevitable result I one weelc more of dissipation remained. " Balls , cotilons , 1131 Ilonlres und opera par- : ties are relinquished gloreJ [ , but women are , looking about now In all directions for some . diverting hours. ' 1 Lent Is essentially the season for cliques and clubs. During the gay montha one 19 " ; often apt to -dance vls.u-vls to Mrs. Lord- " 3cnows-wlIo . as the Virginia colonel expresses , I ; but In the fasting time all such socIal : laites are avoided. "Women of a feather 10cl together , " forming their own select ' . afternoon en1ertalnments and mornIng recrea- tlonfor the evening Is unanImously kept , . ' for rest and sleep. Lectures are coming In for a deal of aten- ) . ton ; not merely those hours or instruction ' furnished by well known and well paid travelers - elers and short story writers , bUt from Icc- turers whom the clique themselves provide , the lecture to be given In some prIvate draw- ng room. , One or two such gatIJrlngs : of young ; ; omen have been styied Current Topic . . clubs. Twice a week lh hours from 1 to , 1 are devoted to the 119IIS:01 : of happan- ( lags , social political , reiigious. .n one club , the lecturer Is a clever young graduate of > smith who lean , lersud d for Smih college , h's n Persuad1 ! ur the first time In her sll.lnus career to tall up the position of cxpniiiier. ' Her rcadh'g _ necessarily Is extensive current magazines ) , And newspapers having to he glanced over , . b her each day. She gIves In termo rc- marks n resume of the doings of the world ! to the one who have cather2d to lisTen. , Time gIrls who form the class declare that . hey also are studying quite hard ; It Is cer- tinly true that they discuss vital topics with an Interest and enthusiasm that Indi- ctes they are doing quite n good bit of . thinking on their own account. Another style of lecture Is listening 10 those Interested In model architecture , plumbing drainage and all the various , things about a house which its mIstress , ' . should know to preserve pleasant hyplenlc . conditions. These are given by a woman . who has thoroughly mastered thl ! luaton , and Iustrates . her talks with blackboard dIagams. ' , One of the most delightful variety In this . epIdemic of Lenten lectures are those gIven by Mrs. Howe ot Brooklyn on the "Noble Art i . of Housewifery. " They are divide Into five r parts treatng ot housekeeping , past and 4' present , the house one - lives In.-as to its ventilation - tlllon- . plumbing , etc. , domestc economy ; servants and the purity of foods Theau Eub. ' . , . jects are charmingly told making Interesting U. the most commonplace details of housekeep. I T _ Ing. The classes are made up from the ranks , , of fashionable women , because the AmerIcan . chatelaine no mater how ' wealthy , alms to - . be a clever housekeeper and hostess. ; Sowing classes are to b as popular a lat + season Miss Sloane , Miss Edith Sands Miss & Bend and a number of the leading social ! . stars have classes , where the young women meet to sew for the poor. And from statistics - , , , tlstcs I Is proved that the work Is not mock- ery. Dozens of serviceable garments have . been turned over to the aid socleles fr J'1 the .t needles ot girls whom the orld thinks are . ignorant at the distinction between a hem . and a fold. 7 Some classes meet In time morning , when luncheon can prove a pleasant finale ; others at G o'clock tea , with Its reinforcement 01 men , wind up their arduous afternoon task. : There are still other hours of sewing done among the poor girls , teaching them how to make the garments the spring wi find use p for. Material Is provIded by the philanthropic , F , matrons who superintend and a substantial : ' luncheon proves more than a "pleasant . finale" to these seamstresses. One distinctly smart matron who gIves two evenIngs a : week to this Lenten charity finds that her c protegees admire her most when she comes adorned with glittering jowels. Instead of t he act causing cnvy I provIdes a ripple of , i pleasure over the class "May I wear the t , bIg stone this morning ? " "May I have your t bracelet ? " "Oh I please let mo put 01 the broastpln that looks like a snake , " are time chorus of requests that greet time wearer as she enters time east side room where they meet to sew. She smilingly acquiesces , and k' the time Is spent with each girl shIning In the light of borrowed diamonds. I Is a treat they look forward to from Monday until Sat- urday. _ _ _ _ _ _ " A UelJhUuI Musicale. A most enjoyable musicale and progressive ! high five party was given by L.
