Ii may have been the presence of st.
Valentines Day, that alleged season of
early loVemaking, or it may have been
simply the natural course of events, but
whatever the inspiring cause, last week
was unusually bright with social events.
There were four or five swell recep-
tions, as many more weddings, and par
ties and balls without number. The
season is growing trifie old, and Lent
draws Oh apaee, both of which facts
tend to spur the social votary to re-
newed activity. Lent will begin on
Wednesday next. and society will end
that is to say. the fashionable events of
the season will be over, for when the
forty penitential days shall have passed
away, spring will be here, and winter
gaiety ShclYed by the season.
There is q great deal of hypocracy
about Lent, considered from a social
stand point. just as there is about all So
ciety matters. Custom and deceney
compel sOmbre aspect that is far from
being an index of the feeling. Blinds
may be closed. in many swell man
sion, giving ii a very austere and Lenten
look from without, while the festive
game of poker is on in full force with
in. 10 be prominent and gay, at once,
in Lent, would never do, hence the
gaiety is laid aside, as far as the public
gaze is concerned, but all the same the
motto is, while we live. let us live"
