spent at Rye as the guest of Henry

One hears whispers Of a Mi-Careme
frolic this year, but they are so very
faint they may not result in anything
more than whispers. The middle Of
Lent is made an excuse in many cities,
both here and in Europe, for gay mas
4 querade or costume ball as the forty
penitential days may only be broken on
this one evening by any merrymaking,
i the memory of which must sustain So
ciety until after Easter, for nothing
more Of a social nature must interrupt
the period Of meditation. Minneapolis
has never observed Mi-Careme, but the
people who have been abroad or in the
south on that day have wondered why
something Of the sort has never been
!, attempted here, and they are the ones
who are whispering. Mi-Careme falls
4 this year on Thursday, March %, so if
the whispers are to materialize into
{ anything at the club or in town, there
is no time to spare in making plans.
