SsS s:ssi will riss upon a ransomed world
mis- morning, and Lent will be over. We
nay not see the sun, but it will be there.
The meteorological aspect of things, Just
Vt this time, would indicate that we will
rot see the sun and that the day will be
lark and forbidding, but the church bells
Will peal right merrily and the young
bellies will array themselves right gorgeous
~ and Lent will be over. If the belle
should be late at church, this morning, and
should sweep obtrusively up the AISLE
with the swish of silk and the rustic of fine
linen, do not imagine she was rushed in
her toilet. All, no. She has thoughtfully
figured out that in the great promiscuous-
ness and numerouSnesS of Easter costumes,
hers will 60 unnotced, unless she can man
age to attract attention; and this is the
method she chooses. In her innocent
young heart, she is not to blame, when,
few moments later, she piously calculates:
From pomp and vainglOry, good Lord,
deliver u.s."
-
1t is just a little too bad that after these
several gorgeous Sundays and this glorious
spring weather, to-day should promise so
a great fashionable factor. 1t is the line of
demarcation between winter and spring,
and assumes to say the time has arrived
when the heavy draperies or winter may be
replaced by the plumage of spring. But
what can one do. when Easter comes in just
such weather as this. Light, semi-trans-
parent fabrics cannot possibly be worn
when every Oyerhanging cloud seems filled
with snow and the flowers on ones bonnet
seem to shiyer with cold. But they will be
worn, you know, for to-day is the Oppor
tunity of a lifetime.

When Lent relaXes its grasp on the throat
of society it is impossible for the latter to
assume at once all of its old-time elasticity
1t cannot pick up the thread of gayety just
where it was dropped on Mardi Gras, but
must commence anew. Matters that have
been collecting for forty days will come
out, however, and this especially is so of
betrothals and weddings. 1t is fair to pre-
sumo that during these quiet, subdued even
ings of Lent the mischevous god of love
has been busily at work. In the near fut-
ure the following weddings will occur:
May 5, Miss Carrie Skies and DR.. Mont
gomery of Erie; May II, Miss Florence
King and Charles Carpenter. The mar
tiage of Miss Minnie. daughter of Hon.
George A. Pillsbury, to Bert B. Townsend,
will occur about the same time.

Apartment and family hotels received a
boom at the hands, or rather at the lips. of
a pretty maiden, who said: do come and
see me- dear. We are living at the Hotel
Albiong." ''Thank you, dear GIRL" said
her friend. ''And when you come to st.
Paul come and see me at the Hotel Reeong
on RO-bair street, you know" Young
ladies do learn something at school, after
all.
The Masons had a great social affair on
Mandy at the West hotel, but
the Odd Fellows will be ''at home'' this
week. Tomorrow they will celebrate the
Sixty-seventh anniversary of their order in
great style. The principal feature will be
the banquet and ball at the West hotel in
the evening, which will be great CASTRO
nomic and oratorical affair.

The young ladies are casting about for
some rational method of spending the
opening summer months in an enjoyable
way. Croquet and tennis are old ''stand-
bys," to be sure, but they have become so
worn. So archery will come to the front.
During last week large target was set up
VII OlC VI JllC lOlS Oh ave-
nue. and beautiful bellies, in cute costumes,
shot arrows in its direction. Few of them
struck it, for the fair Dianas were not in
practice, but the sport was pleasing and
exhilirating. The cool weather ended it,
and archery will become the rage later on.
