LENT BEGINS TODAY
GAY SEASON IS OVER
AND FASTING AND PRAYER WILL
TAKE PLACE OF SOCIAL GAL
TIEs-AsH WEDNESDAY.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Feb. 13.-Today, Ash
Wednesday, marks the beginning of
the Lenten season. and until the last
day OF March social gaieties will give
way to fasting and prayer. Lent will
be especially observed in the Episco-
pal and Catholic churches. in all of
which special services we're held to-
day.
The word lent" which is derived
from the Anglo-Saxon "Lenten spring"
from the season in which it occurs, is
used to designate the solemn period
of devotion and abstinence which has
from early times preceded the feast
OF Easter. It is mentioned as early as
the time of lrenaeus in the second
century. and he speaks of it as not
merely something of his own time but
of much earlier date. It was arrang-
ed to extend over a period of forty
days mot including Sundays) in Of
der to correspond with the forty days
of Christ's temptation in the wilder
ness and so to teach the great test to
which every human life must be sub
jected to prepare it for its appointed
duty and victory.
The forty days of Lent, ecclesiasti-
cally, call upon the faithful children
of the church for abstinence from the
ordinary social pleasures. for special
devotion to the duties of the Christian
life, for the exercise Of self-restraint
and self-sacrifice and for a general
bracing of the tone of the spiritual
life by devout reverence TO the stand
ard set by Christ himself.
1t is, in fact, an episode in the
Christian life not to be evaded by
those who make the year the follow
ing of the pathway of Christ through
human life from the manger of Beth
lehem which is in sight at Christmas
to the triumph of Easter.
New York society rigidly observes
the Lenten season-but in its own
way. While there will be no further
meetings of the dancing classes until
after Easter. the number of dinners,
theater parties, luncheons, card par
ties and musicales, not to mention
weekend parties at the fashionable
nearby resorts will suffer no abate-
ment.
