- SOCIETY -
Quiet in Social Circles.

After several months of brilliant
social activity during which time
many beautiful events frightened
society circles, the season OF Lent
has placed seal upon many of the
usual methods of enjoyment in
social life. The beautiful Domino
Cotillion given at the Bluff City
Club on last Tuesday night was the
climax to the real social season, and
there will be a cessation of festiv-
tiles for forty days. Frederick
Haskin in one of his articles recent
" in discussing the beginning Of
the Lenten season said:
"With the dawning of Ash Wed
nesday his Satanic majesty took up
his long vigil outside the gates OF
the Pavilion of Social Rest and plan
new mischief for Frivolity's gay vo-
taries. Shrove Tuesday marked the
end of the social season in the lead
ing cities of the world, and from

acterizes the entrance into Lent of

the Northern cities, to the spectacu-

Orleans, the passing of the social
season is marked in divers ways. ,:
There have been several small but
beautiful social entertainments dur
ing the past week since the Domino
Cotillion, but that was the event of
the week, and while a few of the
clubs will continue to meet, yet
there are so many members of them
observing Lent that they have tenn
porarily suspended, and columns in
the papers will necessarily be more
or Jess lacking in the narration of
social happenings until after the
Lenten season.

Fred. Smith, who is backing Reil-
ly, willingly admits that he has no
sinecure in his acceptance of the
proposition of McFadden to meet Reil-
ly. Mac is hard boy and durable to
a degree. Smith is taking the chance
which marks the sport. and that's
about all a sport could do under the
circumstances of the sweeping chal-
lenge Jack sent out.

other side of the question. things
stand between them as they have ever

gave. and as they are likely to stand
until after the go of the Sd.
Smith has a number of boys in
sight for the preliminaries, all Of
whom are anxious to go on. He has
a new one. though, and one that he
feels will be drawing card, in the
person of Murphy, the boy from the
Quaker City, who asks nothing mole
than that he be put on for the pre-
liminary, where he can prove his
