~VHIS WEEK, which is Holy Week
in the church calendar, doee
not exist from a social point of
view except as preliminary
to the Easter reawakening
The quiet which will reign, unless all
the signs are wrong, will give the
leisure and opportunity to indulge in
| joyful anticipatons, by no means an
entirely meaningless occupation. The
Lenten season, now within a week of
closing. did not seem very much differ
| emit in the number of pleasures cited
| from the real season, but that is be-
cause more attention necessarily is
given when engagements are less press
| ing. Taking it all in all, the custom of
COMPRISING the big events Of social
life between New Year day and Shrove
| Tuesday does not materially change as
the years go by. Politics or other
momentary emergencies may necessi-
tate deviations of one kind or other,
but the rule as followed since social
| affairs have been recorded from day
to day has not undergone any per-
ceptible change.
The charity affairs, like the kermess and
more recently the bazaar of months, were
each beautifully arranged and furnished
an outlet for both youthful and more
mature enthusiasm, and enlisted the CO.
operation of hundreds. Easter Sunday
will see a revival of a more active in
terest in everything. Charity will have
her part also, figuring several times in
the events of the week. Dances for gen.
eral society and the Eastertide parties
| for the home from college and school,
| contin gents, which are growing to be
| larger and smarter every year. have also
| an important place on the calendar.
The White House musicals will be re
| sumed the evening of April II. We'd
dings will return TO their frst-line inn
pOrtance to the feminine reading public,
with the additional interest that is al
ways given a spring ceremonial, fol
| which there is usually a genial sky or
| at least the pleasant temperature that
| makes outdoor life comfortable. The
| spring weddings Will be very numerous
| this year, and those now being arranged
| betOken an orange blossom atmosphere
| not only through April and May, but also
we'll into June.
