The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1905-03-12

Society has almost disappeared off
the face of the earth as far as st. Paul
is concerned. Although Lent is not
kept strictly by society as whole, still
some of those who do not regard it are
affected by the penitential quiet as
most everyone has friends who keep
it more~or less strictly. Many well
known people are away not a feV--do
no entertaining at this time of year,
and the-Season, which was dull enough
at its height, is entirely over, and
the only gayeties scheduled for the
post Lenten time are a few weddings
in which society is interested.
The great question of the hour is
whether.bridge shall be given up dur
ing Lent. To say it is agitating the
women who are lovers of the game,
and yet desire to keep Lent, too, is put
ting it mildly indeed. A few brave
women, who regard this season as a
time modification, have given up
playing entirely; few others will not
go to nor give bridge parties during
quiet game at home; and then there
>re those who will play as usual. What
3le giving up of their beloved game for
six weeks means in the matter of sac
rifice, is easily understood by one who
knows what hold it has upon the dew
-otees, therefore it is greatly to their
credit to go without this amusement
for a time. But it goes without saying
he iat ND
friendly game in the coming weeks.
