Halted Until After Easter
Fashionable World Drops Festivities Due to Holy
Week Observance-Spring Season
Gayety Seems Assured

NEW YORK, March 27.-Next week
will be a duh one in the city, for
Holy week is still pretty generally
observed by society, and there will be
little or no entertaining until Easter
Monday. BY that time the majority
of the members of the fashionable
world will have returned from Palm
Beach and other Florida resorts. from
Nassau, Bermuda, Cuba and Califor.
MA. The Spring season, while short
ono, Is very gay one. and Easter
week, with the many weddings, large
dinners, dances and entertainments
for charity, is one of the gayest of
the whole year. The boys and girls,
at home from school and college for
the holidays, add TO the Gayety, and
most of the dances are given in their
honor.
The Easter parade on Fifth avenue,
which used to usher in the Easter
activities. is a thing of the past. and
comparatively few of the smart set
are seen in the parade on the avenue
as in former years. The fashionable
churches-St. Bartholomew's. st.
Thomas. Fifth Avenue Presbyterian,
st. Patrick's Cathedral and the Ca
thedral Of st. John the Divine, Grace
Church on lower Broadway. ST.
Georges in Stuveysant Square-are
filed with persons prominent in New
York's social hfe but after the serv-
ices they enter their automobiles and
are driven home.

taken in horse events and hunt meets
by the members of the smart set was
offered at the annual meeting of the
Turf and Field Club recently at the
offices OF the club, $50 Park avenue
when an amendment to the bylaws
increasing the membership to $50
was passed. There was also an cleo
tion of officers and an attractive pro-
gram of future events completed.

given to Henry W. Bull; J. Henry

BOuvier Twin to We'd.
Without doubt. two OF the most
popular girls in society are the Bou-
vier twins. They have a charm of
personality which has won for them
the highest esteem in the hearts Of
