THE SOCIAL WORLD.

Inc realm OF 1aShlOn ana society is
permeated with penitential solemnity,
and like the tints 'of the aesthetic modes,
the doings of the social world are mainly
neutral. The past week has been notable
for its absence of exciting events, and
there is little of thrilling interest to re-
cord. Quiet pervades the magic circle,
and the devotees of the fashionable god
dess are STEPPED in the metaphorical robes
of sackcloth and ashes. But few recep-
tions or dinner parties have been held,
and there have occurred no very fashion
able weddings.
In the absence of the usual receptions
and parties, it is suggested that the Ia
dies of st. Paul entertain, during the
Lenten season, after the manner of their
sisters IN the East, where oyster dinners
are becoming quite the fashion. They
can be gotten up in quiet way and at a
small expense, while the social features
are every bit as pleasant.
