The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-02-04

Several small entertainments on MONDAY
and Tuesday evenings, and the german
on Tuesday evening, will wind up the
social season before Lent. The married
woman's club and numerous card clubs,
will hold their last meetings in the first
part of the week, and will then be on the
retired list until after Easter The La
dies Euchre Club will be entertained to-
morrow evening by Miss Hartridge; the
Cinderella Club holds its last ante-lenten
meeting tomorrow evening, and the
number of small entertainments mani
tests the reluctance of society TO subside.
The season has been a gay one, with a
few large and handsome receptions and
numerous and almost nightly entertain
ments. in all sets and circles. Unlike
New York, which the papers speak of as
living down TO the cry of hard times
Savannah has kept uD a smiling counte-
nance and cheerful demeanor, thus in
dicating her courage in the face of hard
times. A shabby coat and long face
do not help matters. But Ash-Wednes-
day approaches and surcease from the
whirl of society demands. A rest for
the devotees, sack cloth and ashes for the
religiously in lined, forty days of If
sacrifice, kindness and good deeds for the
charitable, forty long days of dreary exist
ence to the worldly.
