The winter season Of gaiety closes
this week and as almost every one in
the fashionable world observes the
Lenten season, in way, the next few
weeks Will be mere or less dull. Nearly
every woman welcomes the approach
Of Lent as a respite from entertain
ments and social obligations and bus1es
herself With neglected domestic duties
or with club matters. Many ladies
grasp this opportunity to "catch UP
in their reading, and the seamstress
and modiste reaps her usual harvest
for a large share of the spring frocks
are created previous to Easter, and
dreams in lace, silk and cambria are
realized under the skillful fingers OF
the deft seamStreSS.
What a blessing the quiet of the
Lenten season is! After Ash Wednes-
day there is service in the Episcopal
and Catholic churches every afternoon
with the usual noon hour service for
business men. The hush of the great
churches and the low, beautiful words
of the services bring wonderful rest
to shattered nerves and the mental eff
feet is quite as beneficial as the spirit
nal.
