Society has robed herself in sackcloti
and busted her perfumed locks witt
ashes. From her face shines the light OF
piety, and in her outstretched hands are
aims for poverty. This suddenly as
sumed demeanor suits the grand dame
well. 1t is a change and even fasting
becomes enjoyable when sanctioned By
such high authority, and society vii
fast artistically, artistic starvation, ar
tistic piety, artistic charity, these are
the only functions left her. No balls
no marriages. no public amusements
The divinity Of the 400 thinks of these
things and signs, then rearranges tho
sackcloth and dusts on more ashes
The change has been abrupt. The
beginning of Lent witnessed a sudden
cessation of the gaities. Ash Wednes-
day was like a signal shot announcing
Lent, and the close of the winter sea
son.
