The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1867-09-03

The New York Home Journal, which
may be looked upon Rs the mouthpiece
OF "society," and obtains all the small
talk of the day, utters these waits and
gossips:
The watering place correspondents of
some of the papers are either very sus-
ceptible or very partial, for almost eve
ry lady they have seen this season has
been "perfectly beautifully "a great
BELIEF" tsplendid dancer" &c. Young
ladies' who have no claim whatever to
beauty, and who move in rather ques-
tionable society, have been extolled to
ii great extent by these evidently un-
sophisticated correspondents. If "A lady
has only to dress we'll and talk nom
sense TO become belle, we agree with
the writers that there is an unusually
large number of bellies at all the sum
mer resorts. ., ..
The lady who understands, probably
better than any other, how to wear and
manage a train while dancing, is Miss
Hancox, of Belleville, New Jersey, at
present at Saratoga. 4 'E' 81
The Misses Baldwin, who were so
much admired at Saratoga, sailed, II
few days ago, for5Europe, where they
will remain for two years. We think
1t would be very difficult to find, in
AultIlCuY I"O
plished and refined young ladies than
the Misses Baldwin. - I.I
An unmarried lady who is visiting
the White Mountains, writes to a friend
confidentially SIT is delightful to
climb up these high hills with nice
young man to help you up the steep
places, and eat lunch with you on the
summit" She is evidently lady of
taste and experience.
There is u certain young lady at Cape
May who is said to have refused four
offers of marriage, her excuse being
that her admirers were all too rich.
This lady probably believes in love in
ii cottage" contrary to the notions of
n. p. Willis. We sincerely trust she
will eventually find gentleman poor
enough to suit her. VI 9ts'sf ~
A young lady informed gentleman,
on the piazza, at Stetson's, at Long
Branch, that she had been unusually
economical this summer, "for," said
she, 81 have bought only thirty dresses,
two lace shawls, four parasols, five
round hats and three boxes of gloves"
Nice prospect 1or the man who marrtes
her. II this is economy, what would
she call extravagance? Hrs z1E-a
We are sometimes amused, and often
disguised, at the way ladies speak of
one another. For instance, at one of
the "hops" at Sarato "a, the other even
ing, we were standing in the hall, talk
ing to party ofladies and gentlemen,
when a very pretty girl passed by us,
leaning on the arm of gentleman,
who was dressed simply in Swiss mus
lin, and pink sash. We immediately
asked who the young lady was, saying
she was one of the few who did not need
to dress elaborateIy TO look we'll, W hen
one OF the ladies of our party
(whose age has been very doubtful
for some yearsJ e reclaimed: "Oh that's
Miss -; her father keeps a little
store in -- street, and she's worn
that dress four or five times to my GER
tain knowledge. She is as poor as q
church mouse, and has been trying to
catch Il husband all summer" We
looked at the speaker and saw she was
dressed in the most elegant style, but
we came hastily to the conclusion that
dressing we'll was not the principal
thing to be considered.
4 fashionable wedding is to be cele-
brated next week a. Trinity Chapel
the parties being Miss Augusta Smith
and DR.. Edward z. Fowler. We can
not boast of enjoying the lady's ac-
quaintance, but the bridegroom is "a
skillful homeopathic physician, resi-
ding in nTwenty-ninth street, who drives
a valuable team of horses, and whose
life-like and life size photograph ut
Rookwood's Gallery causes people to
stop and remark, "What a splendid
head, to be sure"
