9TH E r TIMELY ENTS

| The very young folks have had the most
| out of the Easter gaieties, was expected
Their dances and enjoyments of every
kind have gone on day after day and night
| after night in sunshine or in rain, just
as it happened to be. The grown ups have
| been too busy with other thoughts and
occupations to feel what a disappointing
| season it has been nor to care very much
| whether not the war clouds will lift
| sufficiently to permit a return of gaiety
| on the lines usual at this time of year
The small comforts one has had in the
| weddings, so far the pleasure of wit
| Messing them is concerned, does not give
much room for enthusiasm in that direc-
ton, since those now in contemplate
| will be quiet family affairs also. Only a
| few of those set for Easter week and for
| which elaborate preparations were made,
| were carried out as originally planned.
| but these out extraordinary circum-
| stances have done much more to fix them
| in the popular mind than if the ordinary
| routine of sucn events had been followed.
| There will probably be marked absence
of American heiresseS, and notably wash
| ington ones, at the presentations to royalty
| next month in London. One hears very lit
| tie of contemplated departures for foreign
! shores, a topic always so much discussed
at this season, and the few who have ar
| ranged to go have no intention of doing so
| should war be an actual fact. Never were
summer plans so indefinite as at the mo-
| ment. A great many West Enders nave
not any IN contempla ton, and will pa
| tiently sojourr in this city, where the hon
| ored members of the stay-at-home club Will
| have 80 much company as to be likely to
| entirely lose this particular form OF idenu-
| fication.>
The great social meets Of the past week
were the opening of the art loan exhibition
| Monday night and the eighty eighth BIRTH

! depressing kind.
