The reader viii find appended certain
failipgs and eccentricities Of few Of our
Wheeling beauties, who, to use . slapg
phrase are stuck on their face, form or fg-
ure. The information necessary for such an
article was given to a reporter, sub rosa BY
q maiden of satirical propensities who in
the last few months has exchanged the life
of q wall flower for one of marital blessed
ness
Miss Luella is blonde Of medsnm size
and considered passably pretty. Her chief
attraction, however, is her hair which is Of
that lovely tint between brown and gold, and
which is so plentiful, that when she shakes
it loose it falls in glorious, ripping masses
to her knees Miss Lu is always railing at
the fashion of wearing false hair. People |
who have an abundance of their own never |
get any credit for it, says she. II anyone |
happens to speak of somebody else 8 hair
being beautiful, she is il-nstured for the |
rest of the day. Miss Lu is also hard to |
please in head gear. She hates the bonnet |
because it covers her head too closely, aud
the hat of the day because it hides her hair:
Her favorite manner Of arranging her hair
is in a heavy fat coil which goes twice
around her pretty head, and never could be
tempted to mar the gEttering effect OF those
beautiful locks by the insertion OF flower
or ornament.
Mrs. Blank, of Chapine street, rejoices
in her magnificent figure. You never saw
such shoulders-so white, So smooth, so
perfect in shape. She is young, and might
be rather popular, were it not for her figure.
1t occupies her.. She is jealous Of every
other well shaped figure. When ladys
name is mentioned to her as being exceed
ingly popular in. society circles, the remark
IS sure to draw some disuarsging comment I
on the lady's personal 6gure 1t is difficult
for Mrs. Blank to understand that lady
may not possess fine figure and yet prove
u cha!inihg addition to society, and to com
! preheud that a perfect shape does not
necessarily conquer all hearts.
Mrs. K. is beautiful You cannot name a
| fault in her beautiful face But, alas, Mrs.
| K. knows how fair she is. See the con-
| ouering air with which she walks, the Ian
| guild complacency of her expression as she
drives, and the careless negligence OF her
manner wheu she speaks. The defects
| spring from one common source. She says
as completely as if she were to speak the
words II am beautiful womsn.a | need
not, therefore take the trouble to be agree
able. To be beautiful is enough" Mrs. X
is quite popular With certain of Wheehngs
most dashing gallants, and can justly boast
of always having several obedient vsssals
under whip and call.
Miss Nellie is quite as beautiful as Mrs. T.,
although Oh an entirely different type. She
knows it also, but hides it better than Mrs
K. Her coquettish airs and graces sit well
on her. They suit her piquant style, and
her merry, brig ht face. Every one in speak
ing of her says she is charming and so ex-
remely stylish. So she is. Society pre-
fers a society woman of twenty-six who is
AS practical with her smiles as any actress
ON the stage, and of whom, the gentlemen
in speaking of her, say she is all there
She is so amusing says every one, and to
be amusing is to be social success.
Mss Jessie H. would be considered
pretty girl, if it were not for an ugly habit
she has of showing all her teeth when she
smiles. To be sure they are lovely teeth
small, square, white, and set in gums OF
rosy pink; but we don't want to see the
whole throaty too.
| Miss Mabel has neither face, figure, or
fortune. But as family has given her GER
tain prominence in the social circles, she
has managed for the last few years to keep
her lead above water in the whirlpool OF
fashion. There is one accomplishment
which Mabel possesses, of which all visitors
are made painfully evident In spite OF
her coarse heavy figure, and Chicago feet,
she can Aoat through waltz as light as a
summer zephyr. This accomplishment
makes her popular at ball But in
quiet everyday call, unless man will talk
ball and dancing all evening, she will cut
his acqusintnce.
Miss Bessie is q resident Of the Garden
Spot, and is a bright, vivacious little maiden
With always mouthful of slang Of new and
,atchy origin. Bess has one ruling pas
sion. If you love her Just give her bangle
and rest assured you will stand in toward
her good graces Already seventy mono
rrams dangle on her necklaces and brace
let's and strange to say she is just as rapa-
cious as ever in her new autograph scheme
Miss Birdie has such beautiful teeth.
Watch her as she smiles. Two rosy lips
draw slowly away from those "quarrelets Of
pearl" delicious dimple shows itself in
one cheek, pretty wave Of piukish color
spreads over the face and while you are
looking the smile fades as gradually as it
came. To be sure some persons are i'll
nstured enough to say that the reason Birdie
smiles in that guarded way is to keep from
displaying lost tooth on either side OF her
mouth. and that the aforesaid dimple was
caused by surgical operation.
Miss Irene has the loveliest arms you
ever saw. She is always delighted when
short sleeves are worn, and her gloves are
not nearly so large as other peoples. Her
favorite attitude is sitting, with her right ell
bow in the palm of her hand. She waves
her right hand when she speaks a dance,
when waltzing. her right arm is we'll dis
played behind her partners left, ifhe is tall,
or on his shoulders, if he is small. Those
beautiful arms have spoiled Irene, shewe
! black, although it does not suit her complex
ion, because her arms look so white against
It. She is always directing your attention
to those unlucky ones, numerous enough,
who have their arms. Whoever marries
her will have to be careful never, under any
circumstances to admire another ladies arm,
