Lent Affords the Marrying Maid an lm>
 tant Opportunity.

ton Ives Cosmopolitan Sewing Club IS again to be continued, and there are few minor ones for the debutantes and the younger married set But somehow they have run counter to the various whist and euchre clubs, and really, as one woman says, you can't do both, and as your maid can do the sewing at home, all that is needful is to send subscription, accomplish so much work and then you will have an easy mind and plenty of time for bridge" The only con- cession that the bridgeites make to Lent is that as a rule, the classes do not meet at church time.
 The largest whist party was at the Metropolitan Club annex, given by Mrs
 Watson. Mrs. George De Witt also had a. bridge afternoon and there were seV- eral others where the guests numbered twenty y-eight-quite a large number, 1t would be thought, to accommodate in the ordinary drawing room, were it not that the new bridge table is so small that 1t takes up very little room.
 Miss Leary had the first meeting of her famous one on ThuI%day. There was music and the attendance was very large Miss Leary will continue these meetings until after Lent. On Thursday also the last of the Thursday Evening Club meet ings, took place. The occasion was a musicale, and Mr. and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, who have been visiting in Wash ington, were the host and hostess.
 The Knickerbocker Riding Club met on Thursday. The Knickerbocker Bowling Club did not have meeting on Ash Wednesday, but will assemble this We'd nesday. There will be a tournament and Matthew Astor Wilkes. the president is arranging for some very handsome prizes Miss Sylvia Green, the daughter of Mrs. Hetty Green, is a member of this club. The meetings are very jolly. and tea Is served after the game.
 Yesterday the Badminton clubs had their innings. There are two of these, the Badminton Club proper and the Ju- nior. There is also the Monday Badmin- ton and the Monday Bowling. The Ping Pong Club is quite new and a novelty.
 The game, however which is the most fashionable this Lent, is squash tennis. There have been many new courts built recently. August Belmont has very handsome one at his stables on Thirty fourth street and uptown MT. and Mrs. Lanfear Norrie have built one where all the Fifth avenue set come and play each afternoon. The Poors have one in Cram ercy Park and there are others all the way uOWn u WdSiiih6 kodit- usrol had three built, and there is a gen. eral rush out there on Sunday.
