the restrictions OF Lent come with over
towering force. and they eagerly snatch
at the last lingering joys of the worldly
season. The modification of the flesh and
| the suppression of the desires of their
hearts are exercises that are met with
wry faces and rebellious spirits.
The opening lecture of series on
Dante by Rev. Fl. III. Gowen, in Mrs
| j. c. Haines' drawing room on Tuesday
| afternoon, was the only affair in which
any number Of society people got togeth-
| er. The young ladies Of the younger set
| had rather a gayer week than usual
owing TO affairs given IN honor OF the
| presence OF Miss Clancy. of Tacoma, and
the departure of Miss jackson for her
| home in Boston. The intellectual work
laid out by society people for the six
weeks Of Lent has hardly commenced to
| be burden, but golf and the wheel
| claimed considerable of the time that was
TO have been devoted to books. The
women OF society are still very faithful
about attending the Lenten religious
| services.
