Just one more week and part OF another
and then-Lent. And society Is making the
most of the few remaining days, too. for
every day until the very last of the month,
which will be Ash Wednesday, is written
close with luncheons and teas and recep-
lions and card parties galore Coming late

finish of the season for 1906 for April will
be here before Easter comes, and afte"
that no one really expects much in. the
way of indoor affairs unless the weather
proves impossible. OF course everybody
will not observe Lent religiously, for So
ciety has many outside of the Catholic and
Episcopal churches, but there will be so
many who do keep the forty days that

ally leave town at this time it would be
diflcult to have very large affair without
literally going the highways and byways.

son, although there have been compare
lively few notable things, and not a few of
the fashionables are looking forward to
Lent with pleasant anticipation of much
needed rest and opportunity for at least
planning the summer trousseau.
A prominent member of the musical set,
who until her marriage to an Omaha man

friends, and with much pride. Recently
her small son. who has entered upon his I'd
year. watched such an exhibition with evil
dent interest, and when. little later. his
mother looked for her crust It had disap-
peared. AS no trace of il could be found,
It was concluded that the young man had
eaten 1t.
