NEWS OF THE SOCIAL WORLD
FASHION AND THE STAGE.

Just before the Lenten season will
begin, and it is coming on more rapidly
than one imagines, there will be
crowded into the space of two weeks
numerous social events both great and
small, and for these society is quietly
waiting Society people are quite
unanimous in the opinion that Lent
will be doublv welcome this season, no
that this season has been fatiguing
one, for it has been so excessively dull
that ennui threatens every one. But
all thought of the social world can be
so conveniently laid aside in Lent for
other interests. Many of those who
have had sickness in the family during
the winter are making active prepar-
ations for spending this period in
travelling. Florida promises to be the
favorite resort and the number going
will quite exceed that of last year.
AN IMPORTANT WEDDING.
Every where and on all sides one
hears much about the approaching
marriage of Prosecutor Winfield and
Miss Holland, and many vague CON
lectures concerning it. 1t has become
an all absorbing topic and everyone
isanxiously awaiting the event. There
is halo of romance about this mar
rage which aside from the social i'm
portance seems to give it an added
interest. Grace Episcopal Church
will be the scene of the wedding. and
it is expected that Miss Holland will
make a handsome bride. The prepar-
ations for the event are extensive and
it will no doubt be one of the most
brilliant weddings this city has seen
for several seasons.
SICKNESS AMONG THE CLUBS
The Lenox Social Club, which
should have held it's sociable during
last month will give one early in this
mouth if a sufficient number of its
members have recovered from illness,
which was the cause of postponing
the affair. The club numbers twenty
or twenty-five and out of that small
number seventeen were Ill at the time
set for the sociable. 1t is hoped that
all will be able to attend, but it is
quite doubtful. Several of the social
clubs which fourished so well last
year have either disbanded altogether
or have decided to havs no pleasures
until next season-quite a distance
ahead-on account of the large
amount of sickness among the mem
bers, which rendered it quite iInpossi-
BILE for the regular routine and
purpose of the clubs TO be carried out.
The Diamonds, which has been a social
organization OF this city. for number
of years. has entirely succumbed to the
sickness and dullness, the prevailing
attributes of the social world here this
season. and will be known no longer
as a club. The Lennox have also
indefinitely postponed all their recep-
tons. EIDDA.
