NORFOLK, Va. April 23.-There is hardly a
girl in town whose conscience reproaches her
on neglecting Lenten duties. because not q
day has passed that every one has not gone TO
church ut least once and perhaps twice, but
now that is all over. and for the first two or
three days one hardly knew what TO do with
oneself in the afternoon, time hung so heavily.
However, that too is over, and any afternoon
couples may be seen strOlllng quite
amicably over the bridge or leaning
on the breakwater of one of
Norfolks many attractive points. Here
Easter Sunday was such sweet day that not
a soul could complain ofthe weather, so every
one appeared in their very best and went TO
church in contented and happy frame OF
mind. Quite gay week has been spent by
the society people of Norfolk. On Monday
