Last evening, at the elegant new mansion
of Mr.. J B. Scruggs, corner of Wood and
Akard streets, quite party of friends OF
the family gathered TO give a
wholc-souled, genuine house warming" to
the new home Although taken by sur.
prise, Mrs Scruggs was fully equal TO the
occasion OF entertaining IN most hand
some and gracious manner some fifty or
sixty couples of ladies and gentlemen.
Until after the midnight ho1r dancing was
INDUCED in under the strains of string
band of music provided by the consdorate
hostess. AT intervals couples were seen
filing into an aute-roOm and
then returning in a happier mood;
for, in ample abundance, was pro.
yided all manner Of cakes, angel.food, etc,
and angelica and other wines that somehow
so loOsed the lips that made the backward
tongue tell tales in language that Melnotte

fair, impromptu rs il was was a success from
commencement to close, aud so homelike
in its whole conducting and lclicitous enter
tainment that not one was present there who
did not regret when the hour for retiring
came. That in the years Ia come the Joys of
last nights occasion may find an annual re-
duplication for the hOspitabIe host and
hostess, was the unanimous wish of each
and all who were fortunate enough to be
present at the acknowledgement event.

Lent

To-day Lent commences and for forty
days will continue. 1t is a religious cere-
mony, or rather requirement, obligatory in
some churches, notably the Catholic and
Episcopal, and is commemorative of the
forty days spent in prayer and fasting by
the Savior.
During this season there are extra church
services and established days for worship,
etc. The severely devout abstain from
meat during the whole of Lent, except on
specified days, eating nothing hut fish, and
even a fish diet is toregone on Fridays. No
worldly amusements are INDUCED in, but
on the contrary sackcloth and ashes pre-
vail, in fgurative sense. In other words,
the forty days are but Sahara in life, with
the oasis of privileged days here and there
when the ilesh-pots are allowed.
