The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1883-04-10

At this season OF the year 1t Is not un-
usual for dizziness to succeed the gayety
which has been the vital force of society
during the winter, but il is q fact that
during last week there were fewer parties
and entertainments than at any time dur
Ing the pat three months. Death has
stolen like thief in the night amid the
circle which usually is the mort animated
and in the loss of comrade and friend
there could be no relationship with amuse-
menr. The weather, too, as everybody has
asserted, over and over again, has been SIM
ply horrid and those who braved the rain
and mud have not been seekers of pleas
nre, but the reverse. Sunshine has much
, to do with merriment, Notwithstanding the
/ philosophy which bids the inner life fur
nish it susterance. II is an effort for most
peoj lie to assume gayety OF feeling WHEN
bleak skies are overhead and all earth is
enveioped in gloom.
