WITH the holidays close at hand the season
seems to have reached Its height, and
each day brings an unending round of lunch
cons, bridges, teas, with the usual accompani
ment of dinners nnd dances, The popularity
of bridge seems to have taken n. decided slump,

or sewing for the destitute. Teas are different,

particular person, they become an obligation,
