Pre-Season Events to Keep You Busy

With the Christmas season behind us, we are entering the dullest part of the year, at least as far as one's social calendar is concerned. Hardly anyone throws balls or parties in the spring, instead saving their efforts for the season, and the few that do have probably chosen strategically to avoid the season to avoid having to compete for attendees with their lackluster hosting skills. Luckily, we have a list of non-party events this spring to keep you engaged until the proper season starts.

First, any young woman with a connection to the Phoenix Society should keep an eye on their events. Founded by Mrs. Ophelia Devine after she fell out with the Rose & Thistle Ladies' Club over the continued inclusion of a member of less-than-ideal repute, the group consists primarily of married ladies and hosts bimonthly events focused on skill development or new experiences. Horseback riding, chocolate making, and scavenger hunts are just a few of their former event themes, and they also frequently involve themselves in charity. Events are limited to members or direct invitation.

February will see the debut of a new musical piece, Sonata #7. The de Montfault theater will host the four-hour musical event, which will be accompanied by dancers and acrobats in a novel twist on the typical arrangement. The lobby will remain open throughout the performance, which means enterprising young women can socialize for nearly the full four hours before taking their seats for the finale.

The beginning of March will bring the Teapot Transfiguration Trials to Hogsmeade. This unique and typically rustic event has been hosted annually in

Hertfordshire, but will expand both their course and their list of competitors this year as they set up in Hogsmeade. Although no young woman of any breeding would participate, the race will likely include some spectacular feats of magic and we encourage everyone to attend.

Late in March and stretching into early April, a new cruise liner, The Santa Antonina will depart Scotland on an eighteen-day, multi-country tour of coastal Europe. This is an excellent opportunity for young women to see the world beyond simply their honeymoon. While tickets are expensive, some cabins may be available to any family of good standing in society. Unfortunately, the Santa Antonina will stop in each city only one day before moving on, but seeing a city for a day is better than not seeing the city at all! We anticipate that any young woman fortunate enough to undergo the cruise will be the envy of all her peers this season, and will have a litany of delightful stories with which to regale gentleman callers.

The middle of April will see the opening of a new play at the de Montfault theater, The Roses of Brittany. The play makes its world debut in Hogsmeade before continuing on to play Europe and America, which might give young women with international suitors some common ground to discuss. Of course, since it's an entirely new production, its merit is yet to be determined.

The beginning of May is also traditionally the perfect time of year for gardening exhibitions, of which we anticipate several. In short, while the season may not have started yet, there are no shortage of diversions to get you through the blustery 1891 spring!
