THE SOCIAL WORLD.

Society is nothing if not divertlng and
as the world goes in these leaden days of
Lent, he Or she of the fashionable world
who had to depend on variety and extent
Of doings for animation would be COM
peiied to fare with mighty lean pickings.
This is the bold truth of the matter in
all its plainness. Never before had So
clcty circles of st. Paul been character
lied by greater apathy and tameness.
There IS dearth of almost everything
that contributes usually to make
up the pleasant round of pleasures.
1t is reassuring however to contemplate
the good time coming. Despite the win
try sky and bleak landscape the inspired
writer in the almanac assures mankind
that the world is on the threshold Of
Spring. Spring, gentle Spring, wrote
the bard, the season of buds, new poetry
and the blOated and bilious cucumber.
The season of picnlcs and festivals and
preliminary fleas; the strawberry and ice
| cream season, when the struggling young
man mouths his old ulster and lavlshes
the proceeds ON the evanescent and delu-
slve soda water, the time-honored bever-
capacity ones early sweetheart has for
this delightful tonic But of spring and
its tr0oping fancies, more anon. The
