No week in Lent has been so dull as
the one just ended. There was scarcely
a ripple of social gayety, and had il not
been for the home opera company,
there would have been but very little
to occupy the minds OF those belonging
to the world of fashion. The advent of
seasOnabie spring weather has been all
the mora welcome By the devotees Of
society il consequence and, as they
have failed TO find amusement in their
accustomed manner, they have taken to
the bicycle and other outdoor sports.
o g g
A number OF the younger society set
have taken to playing basket ball. y
hall has been procured, coach en-
gagged, and nearly every afternoon they
can be seen earnestly endeavoring to
master the points of the game.
g g e
The click of the sewing machine, the
shipping of scissors, the rustling of new
materials and the voice of the dress
maker are heard in the land, and little
knots of women are noticed in the
stores, at the clubs and on the street
corners, discussing the thrilling ques-
ton or whether green or purple will
really be the most popular cOlorS, and
whether the divided skirt or a short
skirt and knickerbockers will be the
correct thing for a bicycle suit
