Comment About the
City.

The week ending last night showed moth
ing of special pith and moment in the social
world. The presence in the city OF numer
Gus fair lady visitors made the evenings
pleasant in certain localities, bat contrib
uted little to the open annals OF society. The
week was the interregnum with the various
social clubs, which, holding fortnightly !
meetings, skipped last week and will blossom
cut during this Those organizations IN a
social way, which serve to make the winter
season lively, have nearly all prepared for
their campaigns, and will be heard from IN |
the course of time, as they distinguish them
selves. Several hourishing cooking clabs |
are under way, and in the central part oil
he CITY two rival whist clubs are maEing
matters interesting, each surrounded BY Its
coterie Of friends and attempting to ontshlne
the other in the attractions IN Whicfit en-
velops itself.
As remarked, quite number OF young |
lady guests from other localities are enjoy
ing the Inequalities Of the city, and more
are constantly expected. The young society |
blades, as well as their more antique rivals
are doing the evening social call act to per
lection in their laudable desire to make
things pleasant for the visitors. Wheeling, |
il seems, is good place to visit Ladies
have remarked more than once that their |
visits to the Nail City have always been |
pleasant from the fact that apparently |
without any effort something was always
done to make their stay enjoyable, and it is
this that has given Wheeling reputation
for hospitality. Esto pcrpetua! Nail Gty
hospitality has become as proverbial as Vlr-
GINA hospitality, and long should 1t re-
main.
The next meeting of the North Front
Street Cooking Club will be held on Thanks
giving evening, Tie ladies have decided,

per, and propose making it one Of the most
pleasant OF the pleasant series. Instead

different homes there will be one grand one,
at which all will participate. 1t will be
given at the residence of Mrs. Alex Mitch
ell, at 5 o'clock, leaving a long evening to

German of 1929 A Kansas City gentle
man will carry of the prize, and the cere-
mony, it is said, will be celebrate with great
eclat. This will be the third or fourth
Wheeling lady who has gone to brighten
and adorn society in that western city. In
| advance the REGISTER tenders congratula-

There is no regularly organized German
this year thus far, strange to say. 1t is the
first season for a great many years that such
a thing could be said; and it is little sin
gular, too. Nothing has been conducive to
! more genuine enjoyment than these Ger
mans, and nothing has more largely con
! ;,ributed to the entertainment Of visitors
But the social fancy seems to he running tt
cards and whist is King. II requires less
exerton TO sit in an easy chair and theorize
on Pole than to dance, and perhaps that is
the secret.
