Palm Sumlny ushers In tho holy of holy
eoks, tho last chance- for ponnnco before
tho glad awakening when captivating belles
and charming matrons burst tho fetters cf
Lenten sacrifices, throw off tho garbs of
sackcloth and ashce, cast aside tho lethargy
and languor of tho penitential period, un I
arrayod In new-fangled glory, these butter
flies of society My from the dreary, empty
chrysalis of Lent.
A retrospective glanco of tho past six
weeks show that whllo tho somber rulor
of Lent frowned with awful soverlty on oil
formal affairs, he at least tolerated a great
numbor of Informal gatherings, teas and
luncheons, where "heart to heart" talks
fccro qulto In keeping with the proper Lsn
ten spirit.
Tho post-Lenten outlook Is ono of extremo
Kalcty and brightness. With two fashion
nhln weddings and their concomitant evenli
to follow closely on the hcelH of Kastcr, to
gether with a brilliant reception and rumors
of more, tho signs prophesy a gay season.
Tho Lenten luncheon him been In full force
this season. Its chief characteristics arc
tho presence of heaps of violets, and the
nbsenco of meat. There Is nothing more
"beautiful Tiy way of decoration than the
aristocratic violet, and colorings In tho
samo shade. Tho bcautltB of a Lenten tablo
of last wetk almost baflle description. Tho
center cloth of renaissance lace showed
through Its meshes the most delicate shado
of violet silk. On It rested a basket of
cnarso green straw heaped with tho fragrant
violet. A coquettish bow of satin caught
tho bandlo of the basket. At each of the
ten covers wcro placed a tiny violet candle
with a silk violet for a shade, souvenirs for
tho guests. Tho velvet cream and confec
tions wero In violet hue, while tho hostess
gracefully presided In a gown of tho subdued
Lenten color, violet and gray.
A good story Is going tho rounds on a
prominent young physician of Omaha whoso
gallantry has made him a social favorite.
Ho chanced to be In a drug store ono day
last week when two of his young women
frfc-nds stepped In. Immediately that afore
said gallantry asserted Itself and tho doctor
Invited tho young ladles to enjoy a phos
phato with him. Ono of tJio girls laughingly
remarked that she preferred a "Henrietta,"
It had moro strength of character. Tho
chivalrous doctor, with a sldo glance at tho
ntt"ndant, naked tho young lady it sho
preferred champagne. With sparkling eyes
sho oagorly assented, and tho attendant
upon whom tho glance of tho doctor failed
to mako tho necessary Impression, brought
ti bottlo of tho tiubbllng stuff. It certainly
was not tho cost of tho drinks that has
suddenly developed tho doctor Into so ardent
a tcmperanco reformer.

already on hand. Special trains wilt be used
for tho transportation of tho material. At
least 1,100 tons of steel will be needed.
Each truss will weigh forty tons. The cost
will far exceed that of the original building,
owing to tho haste necessary and the bonus
to tho Pittsburg concern for quick work.
