The dullest week of the entire year,
socially speaking, has just ended, and
it will be followed by one OF the
liveliest weeks of the year. Whatever
the yotaries of fashion may do during
Lent or Advent, there are few of them
who would face the certain disapprovGl
of society, by entertaining during Holy
Week. 1t was a period devoted largely
to religious work, but as a matter of
course there was much shopping to do,
and this is always a pleasing diversion
to femininity, whatever may be said to
the contrary. There were millinery
openings, and spring dress fabric open
ings, and ample facilities were afforded
for the preparation of the Easter COS
tune, while the fair sex secured the
Afull measure of enjoyment from the in
Epection Of Easter finery. During the
,ring week nearly all of the clubs
III give their Easter balls, and the
list and euchre clubs will resume
II weekly meetings.

To Jerome b. Bell, Editor Of the sun

week ago you made TWO personal
charges against me In connection with
the De Soto controversy. One was
that contracted tobacco BIN at De

and that a personal dispute Between
Ralph De Sbto and me resulted. The
other was that animus connected
Herewith led toan attack by the Even
ing journal on Ralph De Soto. In reply
to that I made "a pubic statement 10
you that never asked a De Soto for a
penny's credit; never owed a DE Soto
penny. and never had a word OF un-
pleasantness with Ralph De Soto OF
any other De Soto over a tobocca bin
or any other matter After making
these statements invited
you 20 see the De Sot0s and

and TO publish what they had to say

Of their unpleasant experiences in this

That is my proposition, and Il is a

will obtain will be that / not only

When the opposition to the conhr-

represented partisan rancor audwould
prove unavailing. But IL transplres
that there is somathing more serious
behind II, and that strong and deter
mined Democratic influence win be
brought to bear 10 prevent affirmative
action by the State Senate. Charges
OF a serious character against the per-
smal and official conduct cf Mr.. MIC
Vey are in course of preparation for
presentation TO the senators. This com
plicates the situation and renders at
necessary that the Senate withhold con-
inmation until it HAS heard the com
plainants and passed upon the merits
OF the charges prefenred. Ordir--ily
such complaints would DE presented Ito

Under The circumstances as they al

than to advise THE Senate Ito proceed

the recent blizzard:
"And1-aw Green, a well-l0nown col

lower end Of the island on
"Wednesday morning with large
number If letters to mail in Prin-
cess Anne. He arrived at Princess
,Anne about O'Clock that afternoon
and left again on Thursday afternoon
on the return trip, walking both ways
When asked about his experiences on
the trip Green said: well, boss, / had
bad time of it. At places 1 had to
wade Through snow waist deep, and on
the island the SNOW was piled up al
most as high as the houses in some
places. But, boss, don't mind
wall1in'. You see, I am good walker.
l once walked from the island to Bos-
ton for the championship.
But how do you get paid for com
ing up here?. he was asked.
The folks give me five cents for
each letter bring, and
r~Hhen Andrew winl1ed the other eye
as he continued:
You see, the people have had no
papeus there since last Saturday. i
have just b9ught about a hundred, and
the people there will give me from
ten to twenty-fvecents apiece for them.
They must have papens, and as l will
have all there on the island they win
have to buy from me-
''With this remark Green swung his
bag over his shoulders and started out
in the rain, expecting to reach the
island that night"
