PIciiNiiro ,
With the advent of this Kaslcr Sunday the
Lenten Reason cornea to an end. Society
finds today a surcease from Its enforced pri
vations nnd Inactivity of forty days' dura
tion and IB at liberty again lo enter Into all
the enjoyments which the genius of host and
hostess may contrive. The cocoon of seclu
sion Is broken and from thence comes a new
life redundant with color nnd vlvlclty. From
this day forward until the bent of summer
calls a halt tlicro will be a succession of de
lightful affairs. The tardiness ot spring ban
prevented the ebbing away of enthusiasm
during the clotting days of Lent nnd society
emerges possessed of Us full and unimpaired
vigor , ready for any and all campaigns
which may bo mapped out by Us leaders.
The I cntcn season has been a dreary one.
With chilly wlnda and monotonous storms
there has been small dcslro for aught save
a comfortable flro nnd an excuse to remain
within doors. Trul Lent almost reversed
Itself In the lessons It 'Imposes upon Its con
stituents , for Instead of being a sacrifice to
forego the pleasures of the world during Us
period , In many respects It was the source
of satisfaction ; there was nothing requiring
ono to face the elements disagreeable and
blasting as they have been.
Uut It was Lent , and now Is not the time
to peck at the past because conditions con
tributed to lighten the burdens society tooU
upon Itself. The present Is with us and the
fiituro In front. The post-Lenten season Is
ushered In. H Is not an auspicious day for
the wearing of spring costumes and the an
omaly Is presented of now-blown lilies nnd
sealskin coats associated tocethor , but It is
only another feature of nn abnormal season.
A now world is opened and the Joy and
spirit with which the social multitude takes
up the things It laid down six weeks ago
quickly overshadow the petty annoyances.

CANINES MUST BE LICENSED

Dog taxes nro now duo and owners ol
canines must drop Into the city clerk's ofllcc
and deposit the amount duo tor the llcctiso
to live or submit to the extermination ot
tholr pets. Poumlmastcr Klckclts will not
declare war for n few days , however. In
orJcr that nil ms\y \ hixvo nn opportunity tn
pro-pare for his appoarixnco by securing n
tag In mlvnncc.
Up to the close of Mnrch R59 licenses 1ml
been paid. This Is a very amull percentage
ot the entire number , ns the records show
that 2.901 licenses were paid In 1S9S. Seine
doubt has been expressed concerning thu
right to collect a license now since dogg
have been made property , but Inasmuch na
the bill does not become a law until July I
no doubt exists In the mind of the city clerk.
After the bill takes effect nnd docs nro
taxed the same ns any other personal prop
erty It U thought that some other course
may have to to pursued In disposing ol
surplus canines. H will at least not nffect
the collection of taxes for 1S99 , as the re
port of assessors will not bo In until next
fall. Meantime the city's representatives
nro gathering In the shekels as rapidly as
possible.

Mrs. II. C. Moses , formerly of this city ,
stated In lost Sunday's Bee that I was "clr-
culuatlng the report that I had purchased
her dressmaking business , and it was nol
so. "
In Justice to myself J would state I pur
chased the names of Mrs. Moses" patrons ,
with Uie understanding that 1 was to solicit
their patronage , which I did and am ru.
celvlng.
I employed her girls nnd took her location.
I did not purchase a recommendation from
Mrs. Moses , as that 1 did not need. My
work speaks for Itself. However , I would
cordially solicit the patronage of Mrs.
Moses ald patrons and all ladles who wish
well-made stylish gonws.
