Woson Fess Anton Fischer, 906 GSt sass The season has nine days and nights yet to its credit, counting the Sundays. The time seems pretty well pre-empted already with the ficod of invitations sent out weeks ago, but it will be the unexpected events that will go furthest toward making the closing hcurs of the season probably the gayest of all. Take it all in all, the winter tas been gay enough to satisfy the gid- @iest, and there are none but people with cest-iron constitutions who are not very glad the end is in sight. Lent will give a mcst welcome breathing space, and in the interests of over-strained nerves, over-tax- ed energies, to say nothing of over-extr. agance and indulgence in the good things of life, It comes in the nick of time. To make the days and nights until then inter- esting, many pleasant events have been planned, 98 reference to the social calendar will prove. Ash Wednesday comes February 19, and Mi Careme is due Thursday, March 12. In all probability the leaders will be rested sufficiently by the latter date to get up scmething to make the day memorable in a sccial way. The leap year bal poudre, of \hich a great deal has been thought, al- though very little has been said, might be arranged for that one permissible break in the Lenten seclusion. Some of the belles who lave wise mothers have not been per- mitted to exhaust themselves outright dur- ing the last two months, but have sent them off to the country or the seaside, where they have nothing left to do but rest themselves and coax back the brightness to their eyes and the roses to their cheeks. But the great majority have had no such cpportunities, and will be only too glad wher. the gayeties are not so frequent and continuous. The chances are that within the next fortnight there will be a grand rush for quiet out-of-town resorts, and the rext thirg that will be heard of the same good people will be to read their names at the cfficers’ hops at Fort Monroe. Some popular young matrons have been down there lately to rest, and had to come back home to sectre it. The army and navy ball last night was both a brilliant and a beautiful event. The decoration of the Rifles’ Hall was on a most elaborate scale. The ceiling was can- opied with streamers, small flags of all na- tions, national and state coats of arms, and nautical emblems, while the stars and stripes with flags of European and South American count made brilliant coloring on the side walls. A band of eiectric lights in garland of green framed the entire hall, and pictures of the new ships gave the naval touch to the entire scheme of the decoration. On the stage a mimic sea al- most seethed and foamed, and on it floated the white sauadroa, formed of the models of the New York, Atlanta, Wil- mington and Ban2-o were lately returned from the a exposition. Handsom2 rugs covered the three steps around the stage and an abundant setting of palms and plants completed the unique picture. With splendid music and a notable company, plenty partners the ball was one of the happiest occasions of the winter. Mrs. Lamont, Miss Herbert, Mrs. Miles and Mr: idan received, and all society, both diplomatic, official and resident, was represented among the hundreds of guests. A delightful supper was served in the hall downstairs. Mrs. Carlisle gave a pink luncheon today in honor of her guest, Miss Virginia Helm. The table was decked with pink roses.
