THE SOCIAL WORLD.

The jewellers in that gay and mystic ar
canum known as the fashionable world,
are 10 doubt thankful for the respite from
the round of designations and pleasures
afforded by the welcome advent of Lent
1t is good thing, perhaps, that period
of the year may come when folly shall put
aside its mask and tinseled costume and
within the cloister of conscience make
meet for repentance. When pale eyed
penance shall assert its purifying and
wholesome influence over the heart and
soul and demand reckoning. The face
of winsome but giddy Belinda shall not
look the less brighter or attractive as it
comes from the ordeal. But the test must
be siz4eere as fate holds in store fearful
penalty for the triher.
With the above reflections intended for
the meditations of those who have tenn
porarily withdrawn their attractive ap-
pearance from the scene of actice life, the
society Muldoon will take kindly inter
est in throwing his benefcent HIgis of pro-
lection around those who by the force of
their prediction, training or bias, or by
the imperious sway of their youth, beauty
and exhuberance of spirits, continue to
fit around the social candle after its cen
trial flame, so to speak, has been doused or
gone down.
To these the swallow tailed and rose bud
custodian of the social column would say,
twirl your castanets, for it is difficult to
keep the nimble heel of pleasure quiet as
long as the racket holds out. The past
week has been comparatively quiet, but
not SO tame but that quite number Of
people have succeeded in enjoying them
selves. The most notable public event of
social consequence was the annual mas
querade carnival of the Once Week club
at Sherman hall, on Wednesday evening.
It was fitting and elegant finale to their
series of very enjoyable parties.

was had by invitation only. Many very
beautiful costumes and groups were OBJ
