Weddings-A Reception by the
Gallant Grover

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The closing week
of Lent is tolerably busy one with Wash
ington society. In part it is busy with it's
own events and in part with preparations
for those to come, for next week, which
marks the close OF the Lenten season, is to
be an exceptionally busy one. There are
some wonderful things promised for next
week, when Lent has become thing of the
past. Society is buster at this season this
year than it is accustomed to be in March
and April. The incoming of new admin
istration brings lots of new people to Wash
ington all eager for the fray, and in Wash
ington the new people are acquainted at
once almost as well as the old ones. This is
a popularity of Washington society, that any
one coming with any sort of official position
or introduction is promptly
WELCOMED IN SOCIETY
and made to feel as much at home in single
week as would be the case in months elsewhere.
1t is cold week in Washington when there
is not a full program for the weeks pleasure,
and this week is no exception to that general
rule. Beginning with Monday the days have

week has been the preparations for Easter

next Sundays new bonnets are appalling to
the male creatures who is to pay the bill, and
then there have been numerous other events
and incidents to take the time Of the social
world. Theater parties are the rage.
