DESPITE the storms which have swept
through the air. despite the comfort OF
the freside and the luxury OF close
wrapuings, there is q breath or spring
suggested by the unfolding OF pale
tinted buds on the arrival OF the floral
harbingers which first open their leaves
in the warm nursery OF the gardeners
care. JOnQuils, narcisSus, tulips, deli
cate and family scented, bring an Odor
OF the spring, that is heralded first Ia
The dawn 0i Lent. Though the
Ienteu season begin ever 50
coldlv aad temDestuous, it will
end I'm the early gl0ries OF bright
sunshine and warmer days. The begin
ming OF the forty days fast is az hand,
and the warming that rings from the
church peals through the wide domain
OF society. The veil sacSclOth and ash
es falls upon lowered heads and the LEM
ten tide ushers IA the sOicmnities OF 8
season of fasting. The gay whirl is at
an end, and the mad chase after pleas
IRE is 20 cease for d time, the harp and
violin announcing the FIRST strains OF the
fay0rite valse is huShed into quiet,
aRd the ball room will be deserted for
tee nonce. The past week has been b
comparatively quiet Que so FAR IS I'M
portant events go. The muse Of dane
ing has been the presiding social spirit
OF the week, and the deyoteeS or
fashion have followed wherever she
has led. There has hardly been night
without It's accompanying dance 10
which the people who try 90 keep Ia
the social swim have had share. The
dances have been of all kinds and have
taken place in all parts OF the city.
While the Lenten festival is perhaps
not as vigorously observed in our own
community as in some OF the larger
eastern cities, still there is marked
falling of ia social gaieties nc this time
OF year We cannot really boast that
there has been "a continued giddy whirl
but there has been any number OF par
ticularly pleasant gatherings. The ten
dency Of the times Is towards simplicity
and even the Wheel.incites are eschew-
ing elabOrateness of detail and indulsing
IN a quietly tasteful order Of entertain
meEt.

troduced IN the best English aud

''songs without words" for, aside from
date, hour aud signature OF the sender,
