In spite of the rush of social affairs
this week society women have had time
for serious pursuits. The large propor
tion who believe that the society woman
is frivolous are decried at every turn
by the charitable Instltutlone which are
supported by the "frivolous ones" and
still further by the intense Interest
which society women are giving to the
cause of equal suffrage. If we pause to
consider we will ee that the ballot
can be of little use to the women of
the tipper classes, and can only add re
spond hi I ity to their lives. In their
work for suffrage, therefore, we must
concede that they are giving their time
and Interest entirely to benefit the less
forfnnate members of their-sex.

dresses by Mrs. Helen Hoy-Greeley. of
