THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , MAHCII 20 , JSOO. SOON TO BE ITSELF AGAIN Society is About to Onst Aside Ita 8ombcr Gail ) , ANOTHER SEASON OF ENJOYMENT COMING Much In Mitlit for HIP > cnr tor 1'liono Moving Ainu Uiun the 1'nlliH nf Soolnt I'lcimircn. This Inst remaining week of the season of Lent will doubtless be a. very busy one In the society world , which Is now once more beginning to show numerous and vigorous signs of llfo and energy and of awakening from the chrysalis Btato Into which It had Bunk nftcr the unwilling departure of the gay dame. One and all of the many devotees of Boclcty are making strenuous efforts to shako oft the feelings of Inertness , lethargy nnd languor , with which they have been coin- pletcly overpowered during the last five un eventful weeks. Handsome matrons nnd ewcct young maids , who perhaps have Bcemcd apathetic and Indifferent 10 the doIngs - Ings of some of the members of the pay world dining this period of almost unbroken gloom and Badness , will soon provo those who supposed their temporary withdrawal therefrom to be duo to unconcern nnd lack of Interest In things mundane , to bewrong , by the unmistakable zest with which they , ono and all , once more Join In the -many and varied events offered under the propltous nusplccfl nnd at the Instigation of the capa ble and Imaginary personality that guides the fluctuating helm of the bark of society through waters grave and gay by turns. The post-Lenten social outlook is an un usually bright one , as many brilliant affairs nro booked to occur Just as boon as possible after the dawn of the Easter season. After all , aulto a number of ple.isant memories liavo been gathered up In the voluminous folds of the gloomy mantle which envelopes the visionary form of King Lout , and In spite of the entrancing prospects afforded by Ills fast approaolilng return to solitude nnd ob livion , many kind glances will bo turned on him as 'ho ' beats a hasty retreat before Ma guy successor. In this ono week which now remains before the somber veil will be lifted nnd that capricious and captivating being , Uamo Society , once more resumes her uninterrupted sway , there are a thousand nnd ono things yet remaining to be accom plished and it Is safe to surmise that no ono will complain that the time hangs heav ily on their hands.
