Is Lent UntYishlonnble ?
Has Lent cone out of fashion that there
Appears BO llttlo Inclination on tlia part of
tlio society people everywhere to observetho
church's demands for the season I
A hnlt has been called In the larger enter *
lainmcnts , to bo sure , but smaller evenings
nro as plentiful as loaves tn the Vallambrosa
nnd sackcloth and ashes are llttlo more than
empty soundings.
A regard for the proprieties prevents any
display on the part of the Episcopalians , but
custom cannot stale the Inllnlto variety of
expedients for fleeting tlrao pleasantly bo
hind the purple curtain.
Dowagers , blossoms nnd buds alllto
Join tno butterfly throng ,
luncheons , card parties nnd teas hold their
attention and the much talked of rest has de
veloped Into dream RtulT. In a way it is to
bo regretted , for aside from the performance
of the ecclesiastical requirements from pious
motives , It was n charming stout In other
days to BCD misty-eyed women , prayer books
in hand , with luces and thoughts turned
churchward. If ttiulr rcpoiitnnco were not
of the heart-rent order it was edifying and
uplifting to a degree , making man regarding
this self-abasement , realize alt his own vileness -
ness by comparison.
' 1 ho voluntary uxllo from society showed
Its good results in burmslicd thought
brought about by a closer Intimacy
with books. From tears of contrition the
sweet faces emerged rested and refreshed as
n garden after n ruin. Hcasonnblo hours
brought hcalthfulncss and happier mien , all
combining to olcvato the spirit making rustIng -
Ing nnd prayer a privilege rather than nn
onerous duly.
Far bo it from mo to say that this variance
from the strict order of churchly rcctltudo
Is an evidence of backsliding. It may bo an
honest awakening from much that wan pro.
tunso , and as the sins of the fair women
nbout us uro no doubt those of omission
they can better remedy their fault in the
world than in retirement. Argue as you
will , there is a tendency to gloss over the
lentcn duties on the part of women huro in
Now York , Chicago and clsouhore. It is
like nn Invasion by gaiety of the sad somberness -
ness of lent , such as ono sees in the riot of
October when the gardens oveiflow , scatter
ing their loaves of red and gold far into the
otherwise colorless street.

HONEY FOR THE luXIIlCS.
Silver link lulu and polonaise dresses go
together.
An nffurt is being made to introduce long-
sleeved rcglngotcs of scarlet c'otn.
Very pretty spring dresses cun bo made of
the now ginghams now in the market. ? *
.Black lace collarettes fastened with n knot
of green grass will suggest a stylish combi
nation lor alpaca , glorioso or silk.
Sleeve cups nro inado of crepe , silk or bro
caded handkerchiefs , hemmed and tied over
the shoulder with u knot under the arm.
Bustles , gum , accordion skirts , chatclalno
silver , starched petticoats , buttons , Jewelry
and colors are n few of the things that have
bceir retired from the public street.
Watches are not carried. Some loader nf
fashion read a p.ipor not long ugo in u Now
York drawing room on "Tho Slavery of
Time , " and presto 1 dmtjlaln and corsage
stouiwindcra vanished , .
*
Mcss coats and Eaton jacitots of navy blue
or scarlet cloth with potticonts of Irish pop
lin edged with fox , wlulo designed for hunt
ing and coaching partioj , will DO seen along
tlio local drives nbout E'istor time.
Parasols ura not what they wore last year ;
that is , tbo newest modes are not. The
great dilloronco is In tno stick. Last year it
extended a foot bovond the top of the shade.
This year It extends only tin inch or two ut
the most.
Lifo is too short to Indulge in vain regrets ,
and when the woman of fashion exhausts
bar strength and interests and sacrifices her
good looks to society the mirrors are ordered
from her rc.ioh , the hot water turned off ,
fresh novels brought to her b dsldo and iho
tasic of repairing begun. The rest , cold
baths , simple food and quiet of a fortnight
will work u wonderful cnango In a womau's
face and spirits.
In the dUctmion of spring millinery a
loud and Imperative domaud is hoard fur
weatherproof ribbons , feathers and uiurottos.
Flowers and plumes will not bo considered
owing to their perishable character. The
straw turbans ura facoa with gold or silver
lace ; metallic , galoon or beaded bands on-
clrclo the crowns of walking hats , and Jaun
tily perched un In a clump of Jet or rubber
stems nro small blackbirds , sparcowa nnd
larks , uiado of pieces of glossy plum ago.
Many of the beautiful street and theater
dresses are braided. If the color of the
cloth U not particularly pleasing against the
face , the whole basque is striped with a
darker or contrasting shadu. There tro
braids aad brnids in tralo , and If the buyer
wants to make sure of the beauty of her
gown the braids used on military uniforms
should bi procured , as they * will not shrink ,
The Infantry tubular braid Is made In a criss
cross pattern of mohair and silk and wears
well. The artillery ornld is another excel ,
lent trimming , and.for both there are netted
f rots and olivettes as ornaments.
Ttio most fashionable thing In handltor-
chlo.1 * . In London.for ladles is that imparted
from Mexico , Thcso dainty articles are en
tirely of lace except a center of muslinabout
two inches square. Tliov are worn at recep
tions and sv.'oll dress affairs , but uro of no
practical uso. They cost about $1.50 apiece.
Another handkerchief ( fj ) has border and
Insertions of Valenciennes lace , but coed
imitations thereof are to bo had forono-thlrd
the co t. A handkerchief with a scolloped'
out edge , la Imitation ot an Ivy leaf u novel

Slnco the Irish linen weavers have taken to

E.G. French has been appointed reprcient-
ntlvo to the Bupremo lodge vice J. S. Shrop
shire , resigned. A few weeks ago an item
was published lu this department to the ef
fect that Mr. Shropshire lAd removed his
family to Butte , Mont. , where ho is attorney
for the Union Pnclllc railroad , and bud , in
fact , tnado "a change in residence. " 'J bo
article further stated that Mr. Trench
would probably succeed Mr. Shropshire as
supreme representative , as that Was the do *
&lro of the latter. This item was copied In
nn editorial In ono of the Pythian publica
tions under the caution , "What Nonsense. "
The editorial then wont on to say. "This Is
a specimen of the reliable news which fre
quently appears In those Omuliu papers
which pretend to publish secret society
news , etc. , " and proceeded to denounce it as
utterly without foundation. The paper pub *
llshing this uncalled-for tirndu neve/1 struck
the nail more squarely on the head than
when it referred to the paragraph m ques
tion ns "reliable. " That it WOH perfectly
reliable iho sequel shows. Mr. Shropshire
forwarded his resignation to Grand Chan
cellor Macfarland aooti after his removal
from the sidle , but the latter did not tuko
anv action in lha matter until n few days
slnco. The appointment nf Mr. French Is a
well deserved recognition of that Kontie-
inan'a worth and lalthful service. lie held
the oOlco of grand keeper of records and
seals for twenty years , being theilrst person
elected to that position , and being ro elected
continually until the last session. Mr.
French Is ono of the best posted men on
Pythian law in the ntuto and Ispre-oinincntly
uuallllod to succeed Mr. Shropshire , who
was recognized as ono of the most prominent
members of the supreme lodgu. Groit re
gret was expressed when It became known
that Mr. Shropshire was to remove from the
state , but the appointment of Mr. French
will meet with the approval of all interested
parties. The term for which Mr. French
bus boon appointed expires at the next meet
ing of the grand lodge , wbon a successor
will bo elected.

The Joint committou appointed by tno
Omaha and Council Bluffs lodges to arrange
for the entertainment of Grand Sire Undor-
wood during his visit next month , held an
other meeting at Council BluiTs Wednesday
night. It was decided to Issue invitations lo
all lodges in Nebraska to be present und par
ticipate , also the First regiment of the
Plutto , Patriarchs Militant , the First icgl
ment of lown , and all lodges in Iowa within n
radius of 150 miles from the Blufts. The sub
committees reported that arrangements had
been completed for the reception and parade ,
the reception nnd speeches at the opera
house in the afternoon and the bull in the
evening at the Masonic hall. On the 2olh
lost , the grand slro nnd his escort , consist
ing of the grand master und grand patrmch
of lown , and the four representatives to
iho sovereign errand lodge , will be es
corted to tnis side and given n carriage ride
about the city.
The order Is making substantial progress
in the nothwestern territories. Arrange
ments nro in progress for the institution of
the fifth ledge In Alberta , and already the
organization of a gru'id lojgo is Doing
mooted.
Brother Klddcr , in the , Manchester Union ,
recommends a tax of live cents annually on
each member of the Rcbckah degree lodgo.
Tl.u amount is small , ho argues , nnd possi
bly nn oho could object , and with this
amount the invested funds of the grand ledge
would bo intact , as it requires just about this
additional amount to meet the oxpensss of
the grand body.
I'nnr Old Minnesota ,
Spoaklng of the nclion of the Minnesota
Masonic gcand ledge at Its recent session the
New York Mercury savs "tho grand ledge
of Minnesota lias Issued a decree cranting a
monopoly of Scottish rite decree selling to
Brother Albert Pllco with an additional
privilege it doing as ho ploascs with the
Ancient Craft Masonry in that Jurisdiction.
It empowers him 'to adopt the first three de
grees of Mnsonr.v1 and 'to use as much of the
osotcrlc'coromonlcs as may bo necessary , '
while declaring no other society or organi
zation to bo regular save those purchasing of
him. For years Pike has been m the habit
of soiling printed copies of the ritual of the
symbolic degrees and when called to account
for this gross violation of his obligation * has
asserted that his degrees were of the Scot
tish rite with no connection with York Ma
sonry. Now ho is authorized to soil thorn ns
the standard work of Minnesota , und will
undoubtedly roiip a good paying harvest.
While smiling at the Ingenuity of
Pike's literary enterprise , ono must
laugh outright at the spectacle
of Minnesota's complacency in converting
its grand muster into nn advertising medium
for another man's wares. True Scottish rite
Musoury has no connoctlon whatever with
that of the York , und , ns It is opnn to the
world and has been for more than a hundred
years , us a purely philosophical system , no
ono man can have u proprietary right in dis
semination of information convoyed in its
degrees. "
