You'll not catch any Of them confsssing
TO ito a member OF the scofing sex at
n rate. But lots of the girls have been
consulting a fortune teller recently and are
daily expecting the arrival of large sums OF
money from over the water" and watch
ing suspiciously for the dark haired lady
who is to make trouble" in the case Of Q
light haired gentleman" Of course the
girls don't really believe in it. o, not at
all; IL is only for fun you know, bu. at least

late.
Everybody complains of the dullness in
social matters, but that is az evil that 10
easily remedied. Let each n OF the dis.
satisfied people give some kind OF an en-
tertainment, be il ever 50 small, and there
will be no lack of gaiety among Us A
luIch, q lawn party, IN afternoon tea, or Q
musicale are all very easily arranged and
are very enjoyable affairs, to cay nothing
of more elaborate methods Of entertaining.
Who will send out invitations first?
Riding habits are worn shorter than in
days OF yore, q change which is said to bring
more comfort, if less grace, to the fair
equestrian. Black or very dark green are
the most fashionable colors for habits, and
q high hat and gauntlet gloves make up the
~serenely plain yet very becoming cos.
TUNES in which many Wheeling girls
daily ride forth to conquest. A silver
mounted whip end q pin represent
ing spur or whip, to fasten the plain linen
collars, are also indispensable adjunts, and
either one makes q pretty present for the
young woman who is lucky enough to pos
sess a horse or the necessary funds to hire
n frequently.
Quite q number of young society folks
rom here took in the exercises at Bethany
College during the week, and came back re-
porting O perfectly splendid" time. A few
drove over one afternoon, returning the fol-
lowing evening, aud they perhaps enjoyed it
most OF all.

You've noticed, have you not that while
one girl will ask another to adjust her hat
and arrange her bangs and be perfectly sat
isfed with the result, q member Of the oppo-
site sex whose tile is set on his head by q
friend will Immediately remove it and put it
on at a different angle. Is it possible that
all the dear creatures s~resuspicious Of each
O'heF' Perish the thought
One of the girls says she does wish some
new way of displaying the photographs Of
masculine friends could be invented. She
is tired of seeing her .own face in the glass
surrounded by q halo of mustsched and
whiskered ones, and she is afraid that if she
puts EN- away in her album the other girls
will never see them and will think that her
collection Of such trophies Is smaller than
their own. Yes, boys, you accuse the girls
Of putting everything they wish to remem.
Der in the frame of q mirror so surely they
want to remember you, for there your pho
togrsphs rest until the SCOT has done its
perfect work and the soiled ones are rele-
gated to the waste basket in favor of some
newer photograph or friend. But, really,
they are awiully in the way.
-
By the way Wheeling girls have been
photographed in various ways, in fancy cos
tune, graduating dress and goodness knows
how many other ways, but so far all have
been too sensible or too conservative to
follow the fashion which has at various
times ragged in other cities-thst of having
the hand photographed. Lots Of the girls
have hands which are quite pretty enough,
and such a photograph would be rather a
pretty souveneur to send to an absent
friend who already possesses at least one
vieinette. But / don't think that this fash
ion will ever become popular here.

The past week has been rather q quite
one in social circles, as nearly every body
has been kept busy attending commence
ment exercises. One pleasant little affair,
however, was q musicale at the residence
of Mr.. J. Il. Hobbs, and another, az after
moor tes at the Park, at which Miss Msude
Echols was hostess and which was much
enjoyed by her guests. Next week prom
Uses 10 be gayer as invitations are already
out for q wedding, q progressive euchre
party and several picnics.

have tried It, I'm told, and appear to like
ii, and really if the target is only large
enough and near enough, it is not at al
difficult to become an expert markswoman.
Isn't there somebody with the good Of the
young folks at heart who will offer Their
grounds and let US get up an archery club
-
A new picnic wrinkle is for all the young
ladies to appear in gowns Of n color il
being safest to select blue or white, when
you send out your invitations. The gen.
tlemen then appear in knickerbocker cos
tune, and 80, in appearance, ct least, you
hare your picnic a little different from any
one else 9.

If you have many young lady friends you

near future, for while the happy day il
no, in most cases positively set, every third
