Show Strenuous Demands of Society. Numerous cases of nervous breakdown break-down among women In New York and Washington, Including tho wives of tho president and tho attorney general, gen-eral, call attention to the overstrenu-ous overstrenu-ous llfo not only of wealthy women, but of well-to-do. If thoro were pleasuro pleas-uro in this dreary round called "gay" there would bo more excuse for it. But thero Is none. Tho same people meet day after day, compare notes of the last ball or dinner and drearily spcculato upon tho next, exhibit their jewels and gowns and yearn for Lent, which will bo a travesty upon Its origin, ori-gin, and merely a period of rest and preparation for new tolls that come to nothing. |
