joying events of nature that are a
change to say the least. The literary
clubs are having larger attendance and
thimble bees are very much in vogue
as Lenten pastime. 1t is also ru-
mored that the Civic league will renew
its activities apropos of the civic in
terests and public affairs anent the
change in municipal management. Some
who have had to spend much time at
tending to social obligations, are now
turning their thought and time to
things domestic, and are planning and
doing much in the line of dainty needle
work for the summer wardrobe, in or
der that duties may not be as ardu-
Gus when warm weather overtakes MS.
The question of spring gardens and the
selection of seeds and bulbs are occu-
plying the attention of many, while not
- few are already fully initiated in
the realm of house cleaning; but TAX
ing it all in all, we are glad of the
blessed privileges OF rest and change
which the Lenten season brings TO
most of us.
