The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-03-14

All at once we have been plunged into
the utmost quietude AS If weary of the
round of gaieties, people seem to have sub
sided into Lenten days with thankfulness.
Perhaps it is because of the unusually long
season; at all events, every one seems to
be enjoying the quiet and society devot-
ees are making up in rest, outdoor exer-
else and mental enjoyment for the months
spent in the round of dances, calling and
card playing. 1t is as if we were given
a time to pause and reflect, to turn our
thoughts to the serious things that really
interest most of us more than the frivol-
lilies of life, and, above and beyond all, to
study ourselves somewhat; that is, our bet
ter selves, If we can find them. Just as
viewed from purely hygienic standpoint
1t is well to fast for while each year.
so it is well 10 give ourselves occasionally
time for deeper thought and self devel-
opment.
