IN THE SOCIAL WORLD.
The Past Weeks Events and
Those to Come.

Lent has come and gone ana those
who have been, from their religious
principles, observing Of its tenets now
feel themselves released Of tho obliga
tons of this time from abstinence from
par tioipation in frivolous and social
gaities. The tune was for the most part
conscientiously kept, but Roanoke
people, with their accustomed good
sense of propriety, have not had
the appearance of making up for
lost time by wild and relentless dissi-
patton in social entertainments. Aside
from the Easter german, a few semi
private entertainments and concert,
the affairs in Roanoke's social world
have not been especially gay during
the past week. The next week promises
being somewhat livlier.
The Easter german was surely one
brilliant occasion which will be pleas
antly remembered for some time to
come. 1t was one of the largest of any
held by the German Club during the
past season, and it wns attended BY
nearly all of Roanoke's handsome ladies,
as we'll as by many visitors. The young
lady visitors, by the way, always are
insured pleasant time at such affairs,
and may always be depended upon to
say good word for the attention they
receive while here.

Those who have in charge the pres.

talent hope to make it as brilliant a

parts are in capable hands, and it is
anticipated that the affair will really be
a line treat for those who appreciate the
catchy music in this old and popular
opera
