INTERESTS of society everywhere
are so diversified that Joseph's
eloak-of-many colors would be
a fitting mantle to throw ove'r the
motley throng, for there would be
somber or brilliant hues to suit all.
One society writer of gayety at Palm
Beach, Coronado, Atlantic City and
other places in Florida and California,
says:' "Lent is here, but judging
from the reports of festivities during
the last week, the sackcloth being
worn seems of golden fabric and the
ashes, ashes of roses."
Another, writing from New York,
sees another side of life and says:
"The drab curtam of Lent has fallen.
The social set is demonstrating that
it means to observe the season of in
action in the old-fashioned way." To
the "ominous, far-away roar of the
war" she attributes this change from
recent seasons. Smart people more
than any others, are impressed with
the awful nature of war. They have
been abroad in the midst of it. They
have helped to "nurse the wounded of
other wars to health. Tms helping
has drawn them out of themselves.
The women have become prepared
for -something bigger and better than
pouring tea in a drawing room.
Omaha women are about evenly
divided in their observation of the
season. Some are giving up bridge,
others are sewing for charity. The
number of sewing circles is one of
the chief indications of Lent. The
Original Cooking club had luncheon
at the Omaha club Friday, and after
wards went to the war relief room in
the Baird building for sewing. That
war relief room is a very remarkable
plate; by the way.
That it is clean, light and airy you
may take for granted. Everything is
arranged in orderly fashion from
sewing machines and work tables to
ravelings and scraps of cloth. There
is not a particle of waste, for each
minute thread or snip of muslin is
saved in the waste" basket set con
veniently under the table and is used
-in the stuffing of pillows. Those pil
lows are a perfect delight'to the eyes.
Around the tables are seated the
women whose names you may read
among the patronesses of prominent
and worthy movements. They work
faithfully with very little interruption
and only a little conversation to add
speed to the flying fingers.
Inanother room sits a solitary
firurt busily measuring, cutting and
stamping. This woman, whom busy
Mrs. Harold Gifford frequently con
sults, is "Grace Redick," official ship
ping clerk of the organization. Around
the room stand filled and partly filled
boxes and trunks of pillows, bandages
and other clean, neatly folded articles.
On shelves, carefuly covered, are
bundles of blanket samples which will
be matched and made into large and
wa:m coverings for wounded men.
The greatest lack still is old linen to
use inside the packing boxes. Thursday-
afternoon there was a special
- treat in the shape of delicious sweet
nats from Chicago, which the Misses
.Millard were sharing with the work-
- ?rs.'

Miss Menie Davis said the other
day: "None of my friends are observ
ing Lent in any unusual way, but
-fiiost of them are going to church.
That helps some." Many others are
following the same-plan, so that Bible
classes arid church schools are flour
ishing. One delightful matron,' you
may guess her name, said, "Mother,
I think I shall try to go to church'
every day this Lent." Her mother
looked at her soberly a minute,
then replied, "Daughter, couldn't you
spread it out through the year a
little?"
Aside from these usual wavs of ob
serving the timevbf abstinence and
good deeds, Mrs. T. R. Rutledge has
hit upon a really novel way of chas
tening the spirit. It is an altogether
up-to-date thing to do and one calcu
lated to reduce the High Cost of Liv
ing, about, which everyone is talking
in these troublesome times. You must
have guessed already that Mrs. Rut
ledge is doing without King Potato
,in every way, shape and form. Mrs.
-Franklin A. Shotwell has a really
constructive way of observing Lent.
Instead of denying herself any spe
cial thing she has elected to follow
the Boy Scout motto and do one kind
deed cac .ay.

The largest affair yei arranged by
the energetic young people of the

neDrasKa woman a atuay in r re
gression," by Mrs. Homer K. Bur
ket's League players in their first ap
pearance. The play was given in
three scenes, depicting life of fifty
years ago or the ppen plains when the
Indians roamed at will: the women of
twenty-five years ago busily engaged
