Mr. REGISTER, how is it that q man VINO
possesses only the usual numoer OF arms
can carry an umbrella, q satchel, an over
coat. a newspaper and an unlighted cigs.
ubile running to catch q train, and sui
have an unencumbered hand with winch 70
lift his hat to q passing feminine ac9oalne.
apce? Several great feminine minds ns.e
been for some time wrestling with TINS
nrohlem, and if occasionally umbrella or
overcoat were cropped in the mud, We
could solve il. But SO far we can only
look and admire.
By the way, one of the girls says thai the
manner in which q man dotfs his hat Is IN,
dicative of his taste, education and genera
character. If The gives on approach 10
military salute, or lifts his hat BY the crown,
he is fresh from college If he merely
touches it lightly, he is close IN the matter
of ice cream and hopeless on the question
of the matinee. And so on through q
whole code of signals. So be careful oil
how YOU raise your tile to your best girl tor
she may likewise be taking notes.

Girls, the newest chair back is OF cheese
clo,h embroidered in Persian designs with
gold thread. 1t is tied with a huge bow OF
ribbon in the centre and makes q very pretty
addition TO a basket chair. But girls, l
warn you it is very light and if not firmly
fastened on, the first man who ats IN your
chair will carry 1.-THE tidy mesn-away
on his back.
The surplus feminine population is likely
to be decreased this summer, but 1t L gave
you three guesses you'd never discover IN
what manner. I'll tell you. Lots ofthe
girls have declared their intention of learn
iIg to row. Nice for the students
who survive. But the majority will be
likely to find a watery grave before they
succeed. / hope some Of them will learn.
though, if only to spite q horrid man who
says a girl can manage one oar but give
her two and prepare to swim ashore. l
think he ought to be obliged to teach several
as a punishment.

The wedding of Miss Alice Kelly and Dr.
A. F. Hustled will be the next notable So
cial event. The ceremony will take place
at the residence Of the brides parents on
Twelfth street on Thursday, June twenty
eth, at two o'clock and the friends Of the
contracting parties are looking for ward to
the occasion with great interest.
M
II. as / remarked last week, half Of the
girls have gone into second mourning, the
other half are coming out in garments of
Heavens Own blue. Maybe you think, with
masculine ignorance, that the pretty Great
ure wears blue because she likes it, or it is
becoming; but we know better than that.
Truth is, but don't tell | said 80, the most
of them wear it because it is the favorite
color of Tom, Dick and Harry, each one OF
whom will admire the damsel in blue, though
her complexion be of tan and her eyes Of
green. Perhaps it is because Tom, Dick or
Harry are so heavenly minded. / don't
know, but every man you ask will say that
blue is his ~tavorite color.

Miss Belle McCsbe has very sweet mezzo-
soprano voice, which was heard to much ad,
vantage at the commencement at Union
Hall, on Friday evening. She sang q
pretty little ballad, What shall | do" in
such a sweet and spirited manner that she
was obliged to respond to the encore 80
vigorously demanded. 1t is a pity that Miss
McCabe is so seldom heard in public.
~
Several riding parties have taken ad.
vantage Of the cool mornings and evenings
Of the past week and a number of picnics
have been enjoyed, yes, really enjoyed, for
the all-day ones are almost a thing of the
past, and people are not thrown together
long enough to be bored and m to
quarrel, as in days of yore. The week has
not been without its quota Of commence
ments either, and the strawberry festival
has fourished. Verify the delights of sum
mer are upon us.
The slow and stately minuet promises to
be as popular O dence at the watering places
this year as it was last, and it is probable
that by next winter it will have become the
rage and completely drive out 1.-THE cotill.
ion" as the German is now called. I'm
fortunately, the minuet is said to be diff
cult to dance we'll, and several Of tIe girls
have declared an intention OF practicing it
in private in order to surprise their friends
when opportunity offers, for Wheeling folks
have the reputation ofbeing graceful dancers
and must keep up to it. So If you sudden
ly discover a tair friend keeping time TO
nothing, or advancing and retreating before
q chair, don't imagine she has gone mad,
she is merely learning to dance the minuet
"in silence and alone"

Girls you need no longer wear a straw
umbrella On your heads when you play
croquet or attend q picnic, for it is nov the
fashionable thing to be sunburned, as tan
suggest q fondness for outdoor sports of
which, if you wish to be stylish, you
must profess to be lawfully fond"
No, if you can't do any better, 60 out into
the front yard without your hat and proceed
to benefit the human race by making two
blades Of grass grow where previously only
one hourished. Then learn up the techni.
cal terms Of tennis, and when your friends
come back from their summer trips, you
can be just as fashionable as any one else.
This good advice is gratis.

Speaking Of summer trips, a lady on re.
turning from one recently. tells a good story
of which / hope no Wheeling girl was hero
inc. She was sitting by her window, which
opened upon q verands, when a converse
ton outside in the dusk resolved into some
thing like this: "Oh, Charlie, DON'T You'll
crush my roses! Wait until we get home"
What on earth do you suppose they were
talking about?

We girls would like to see some bicycle
races, we hear such fine stories about won.
dertul feats accomplished by Wheeling boys
on their machines. Now, we don't doubt
the truth of these stories, not at all, but we
should like an opportunity of seeing them
for ourselves. Let them get up some races
and we will all attend in our best clothes,
applaud the victers and sympathize with the
vanqui'hed. Won't We: giris'
