BUTTE, April 2O.-The Lenten season is
over and with it we witness renewed ac-
tivity among the fair devotees of dame
fashion. An opinion seems prevalent that
society undergoes a great revulsion of
feeling during Lent, that because social
events are less numerous and of a more
informal character, that because every
one is weary Of the long winter months
and enervated with the coming of spring,
there is a renewed spiritual activity among
womankind. If this be true, the intention
is genuinely good and no doubt humanity
swill reap the benefit of this serious trend
of the fashionable mind.
1t has grown to be the custom that the
florists reap their harvest at Eastertide.
Violets were the great favorites during
the earlier weeks of the new year. The
French assert il is because the violet was
the flower of France during the reign of
Napoleon and all things are Napoleonic
in these days. Although the modest little
violet is not forgotten she has in degree
been supplanted by her more gorgeous
sister, the Easter lily. This season has
been no exception to the general rule and
flowers of all kinds and in great profusion
were used in the decoration of places of
worship, rendering them more than
usually attractive. The music which had
been in preparation for Easter for SO
many weeks may be said to have sur
passed all previous efforts. Notwith-
standing the inclemency of the weather.
