The weather has been a sufficient excuse
for women to continue wearing their WIN
ter hats, wraps And dresses SO that this
morning all will be able to don their new
gsrb OF spring. and the congregations at
the churches will blossom like q garden.
No matter how late Easter comes. no one
cares to appear in a spring gown until that
day. When it comes early there are al
ways q number who put on the new, even
if there Is snow on the ground. After q
season OF sackcloth and ashes. those who
are accustomed to some of the brightness
of life like to escape from the quietude
and consequent dizziness. and the first
break is Easter day. 1t may have taken
the whole six weeks of Lent to damage the
dress-maker and the milliner. so that the
proper habiliment may be ready in time.
but that is purely a personal matter
OF which no one Is cognlZant
save the woman herself and possibly a few
"a very few-of the most intimate friends.
What denlals and sacrifices have been
made, only the women themselves know.
The various pleasures of the other forty
in a peculiar way. A woman was at the
Public Library one day last week, and
was returning a book. She is one of the
patrons who devours novels In such a
quantity that one would almost think she
had a row of eyes clear around her head
and hands enough to hold u book for each
pair of eyes to read. so frequent are her
calls for books. The book she was return
ing was the Life of Christ" Asshe passed it
In. sha remarked that she had taken 1t to
read through Lent; that il was very dry
reading and that she had been scarcely
able to wade through 1t" What q con-
fession. When another Lent comes she
will probably make another farcical at
tempt in some other direction. Six weeks
reading one small book. when her custom
Is about six books in one week. Well. to-
day the sacrifice ends and social pleasures
will again reign. Weddings will OCCUR in
rapid succession till the last of June.
There will be some surprises at engage
ments and marriage announcements as
there always are. and some Others, whose
courtshIp has extended for so long that all.
save a few. have thought the engagement
was broken. will be united.
