POLY WEEK, beginning to-day, is
the only period o. the pcniten-
tial season that is observed in
& strict sense by society, for each year
the observance of Lent is becoming les,
and less lax, with the exception o. the
ter Sunday. The social calendar for
the week opening to-day is almost
blank, and there will be little or no
entertaining, even OF an informal nat
ure, from now until week from to-
morrow, when the short Easter season
will open with gay round Of enter
tainments.
Easter week will be crowded with
charitable affairs, dances and weddings.
not TO mention the numerous smaller
affairs on the calendar. About twenty
FIVE marriages OF note will be cclebrs.-
cd in the short space OF time between
Monday, April p, and Tuesday. May !
May, which is usually Stunned by the
brides, will this year see more wed
dings OF importance than ever before.
This is due in part to Easter coming
go late and also TO the old superstition
with regard TO marriages in May being
lees needed, for each year the month
finds moro and more matrimonial az
fairs taking place.

tsinmcnts arranged tor Easter week
