IU0 A DOUBTFUL WELCOME. Oh, bitter, biting, blustering March, So savagely severe, Few have a kindly word for you, Rough outcast of the year. Perchance the doctors love you well, Just for the work you do; The druggists can your merits tell, The undertakers, too. But if there be another soul. That greets you with acclaim, Or feels regret when yon are gone, I haven’t heard the name! LENT is about over—now what will we all do to break the social fast? It is difficult to predict,since everyone has been too quiet to even discuss the probabilities. For the club women, it is the excitement of the Federation; and, by the way, Mrs. J. W. Hale as corresponding secretary, ventures the assertion that the Federation is grow ing in popularity, and that Waco’will furnish a large delegation in addition to her regular accredited delegates Mrs. Rotan insists that this meeting ends her public service, but it is hardly probable that her most urgent protest will prevent her reelection. At all events the outcome will be watched with keen interest. The reduced rates may take a number to Galveston who have no personal interest in the Federation. The summer tourists are announcing their plans much earlier than usual. Already Mrs. William Hefley is planning her Colorado trip; Mrs. Rounsavail, her passage to Kentucky; Mrs. M. A. Cooper,her sojourn in Arkansas; Mrs. W. W. Davis, her return visit to Canada; Mrs. Rotan, a sojourn East; Misses Katherine Bower and Annie Kinnard, a summer course in the Chicago University. If this be the advance guard, even before the bleak winds of March have blustered by, what may we expect when the summer heat is on? Generally at this season of the year everybody is full of good resolutions to stay at home, and thus they continue, until mosquitoes and malaria make life miserable. Whatever else may come, Waco is to have something new for her Easter celebration—the Golf links. These are just in readiness, and promise within the next week or two to be a rendez vous for the ladies. Just at present it is a little dangerous for them to venture out, for Col. Hamilton, Mr. Walter Fort, Mr. Ramsay and Mr. Eikel are practicing, and the report has come in that an area of fifty acres is in danger of their unruly balls, and that a woman’s Easter bonnet would be in the greatest possible peril. But that will all adjust itself,and the ladies may close in, to within four blocks of the place. It is hoped that the ladies will take an interest in the game and that the summer will develop some experts. It may come to this—a non de script passing along the boulevard is espied by a bootblack who exclaims, “Say, be you a woman a going a biking or a man a going a golfing?” Garden chairs, lawn benches and hammocks are coming from the attic, and the next few days will find them in position, the beacon to draw the home folks out of doors. By and by will come the lawn fetes, tennis teas and all such pleasant adjuncts to summer life. One of the most pleasant and picturesque happenings of the whole of last season was the tennis tea given by Mrs. John Sleeper to Miss Mitchell of St. Louis. We will not go to the theatre much more, neither will we spend our evenings in the concert hall where we have been entertained so often within the past six months. Our clubs will all disband soon, and we will give ourselves over to summer goasyouplease pastimes. The Euterpeans have already announced that they close with a May concert. The Woman’s Club year book provides for its annual basket lunch. The Literary Club holds its final session in some manner, to be determined by the program committee. The Press Club has not yet committed itself as to its final session. The other night at the Maccabee banquet, the toast was given to an excongressman from Michican, “Any Old Thing,” whereupon he rose and let forth a flow of eloquence which convulsed his audience with his wit, and set everyone’s mirth wrinkles into play. Would that we were all congressman from Michigan, or would that we could catch this man’s inspiration from “Any Old Thing” and thus form a succession of Sunday paragraphs, a delight to the reader. Quadratics may break the barriers of one’s obtuseness, and squaring the circle may banish one’s perceptive powers, but the riddle is yet to be solved, how something can be made of nothing. If you never tried it, just do so in some newspaper colums, and see what a mighty volcano bursts. On the other hand, dare to leave out something that might have been mentioned in regard to Mrs. Blank’s new gown or Mrs. Dash’s cute baby, and the volcanic eruptions of wrath will not be a circumstance. Verily, this world goes by contraries, and somehow the contraries invariably fall to the reporter’s lot. Mrs. M. Lehr and Miss Bess Herndon entertained very pleasantly with euche on Tuesday night in honor of Messrs. Lindsey of Hillsboro and Murdock of Ennis. §§ One likes to roam out doors these days. The first breath of spring is most refreshing, and the pleasure of solitude is most agreeable, or rather it would be, were not everyone in the same mood. The country drives, especially on Sunday ar» one continuous boulevard; sweethearts full of fancy; granddames holding sweet communion with nature; baby toddlers, released from their vehicles to hunt for the first spring posy; the poor workman out for his weekly holiday—all enjoy the bursting of nature’s greenery. Here is the one realm in which dollars and cents cannot buy,and here the millionaire seeks the level of the humblest menial. Just the other day a paragraph was scanned, descriptive of the Newport villa in which Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt (the bride elect Miss Virginia Fair) have chosen to spend their post Easter honeymoon. It is said that they selected this spot because it was the nearest to caroling birds, budding trees and all the environments which attune so harmoniously with love’s ideal dream. Their villa is secluded, and its views are all picturesque bits of woodland. Perhaps not all, but many will recall Miss Mary Davis, the bright, impressive little body who at one time presided over the art department of the Waco Female College, and who, by the way, is now a teacher in the Art League of New York City. A young gentleman friend drove her in early spring to Lover’s Leap, the highest bit of nature’s art to be found for many miles. This little woman sighed in admiration; her wondering eyes first looked, then tears welled, the tears from a heart in unison with the grandeur and beauty of nature’s handiwork. Such are the women that leave their impressions. Are we going to bare our arms and face to the summer’s sun, and go in for outdoor sport? If so, we will all go to the mountains. A good, long tramp in heavy boots, short skirt and broadbrimmed hat is a Doctor Never Fail, a fact which the woman realize today as they never have before. There are women, and Waco women, too, who close their homes and go, nervous and fretted, for their summer rest. And how do they spend it? Sitting around some hotel piazza or curled up with a novel in some two by four room? It were well that cabs and tramways were to stop their motion, and that these inert bundles of femininity should be forced into a good, brisk walk and into rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes. That the majority do get all that the exhilaration of exercise gives them is assured by the perceptible decrease in the indoor diversions of summer resorts. Less than a decade back it was morning dances for the grownup folks, matinee parties for the children, and even eotillions every day in the week. The summer sheets scarcely mentioned Corttinued on Page 2.
