January is always the busiest month
of the year from a social point of
view. It is a period set apart for
balls and entertainments of a formal
order, which the various hostesses re
gard not only as a matter of pleasure
but also as one of dutyV-as an obli
gation indeed to the set to which they
belong. But this January has been
an exceptional one, storms and cold
weather combine to make society peo
ple enjoy embroidery and reading
their comfortable homes rather than
brave the elements even for the pleas
ures derived from mingling with con
genial companions, so there has not
been as many large functions as there
otherwise would be. The absence of
many who have gone to the sunny
south also conspire to bring about this
condition. Yet there has been sev
eral small affairs, card parties and
dinners being the favorite form of di
version that help to make the life
worth living.
