Though Lent la scarcely a fortnight off
society still shows no sign of awakening
from Its long calm for a final Jollification
before the penitential season shall put
an end to the "winter of '06." There has
been so little doing of late that Is, so little
of consequence, that It Is a question
whether society has been In training or
has Just gotten Into the habit. In either
vent It does not matter much, for one
hears more about spring sewing and do
mestic plans than of social affairs and
nobody seems to be regretting the season
that relieves the fashionable folk of the
various obligations and formalities Inci
dental to being "In society."
Not that the past week has been want
ing In activity, far from It. There has
been such a general celebration of Wash
ington's birthday that the little hatchet,
the miniature cherry tree and the national
colors have been worked overtime and
from Monday until Saturday there was
such a round of Washington dinners and
suppers and luncheons that nearly every
body has had a turn at entertaining or
being entertained In a small way.
The "mtgatory" germ seems to have In
fected the fashionable set of late, for there
has been and Is more moving in prospect
among the occupants of the more preten
tious residences of the city than for many
a season past. No sooner does one family
announce Its Intention of moving than an
other signifies Its desire for their house,
but even so, they have to move lively or
risk missing the house after all. The fam
ily of a prominent business man Is Just at
present In the embarrassing position of
blocking one cycle of movers, because,
being unable to find a house themselves,
they cannot give up their present residence,
which has been rented to somebody, that
Is In turn retarding another family move.
It all came about In this way. Learning
that a friend was about to give up a house
particularly adapted to entertaining pur
poses they arranged with the friend to suc
ceed her as tenant, but neglected to notify
the owner until after their own landlord
had been Informed of their Intended change
of .residence. Preparation was made for
the move, but Just before the actual pro
cess was begun It was learned that the
friend's house had been let to another
family and so they are looking for a house.
