A Call For Mr.. Petefson's Open Air
Concerts---A Suggestion for Cor
respondents --The Bicycle

A society for the suppressiou Of "unnes
essarp verbiage" in law papers has been
started IN New York, and now somebody
suggests that It would be good idea to ap-
NV to tie conversation Of Wheeling girls.
Yes nv dears he really said that, and went
on to say that the suppression of the words
lawful INK" and "giddy would lesTe-
Oh, nv goodness was abest to say ''aw'
tur' myself-well, it WOULD Leave connd-
cradle gaps in our ccuversaE,on My own
opinion of that wretch p that Ne is too lazy
to talk himscH, and ought to ssltiyate the
sign language. I'm sure he . like the
yourg man OF our acquaintance, who signs
himself, '"Y'rss Truly" when he writes to
his best girl.
1t is now fashionable ancsenttnt TOR
number Of young maids and metEons to
meet at the house of one Of their aumber
and turn it for the time being jato an
amateur confectionery. The candies are
delicious and the makers with their white
aprons and rolled up sleeves, look 50 sweet
that the masculine visitor, who happens IN,
thinks he has fallen into the sugar bowl

Progressive Poker" (Which will not be
fashionable here, because none of the boys
know how to teach 1t to u.s., is new and
fashionable game, as also is Progressive
Dominoes." But the most startling addition
to parlor games is base ball, but don't
tremble for your bric-a-brac, tor it Is played
with cards. 1t is, however, too intricate to
become very popular and all the girls say
they don't care for base ball and never did
understand it anyhow.

Mr.. REGISTER, are we not to have our
open air concerts again this summer?
have heard nothing of it so far, but L am
ture that if Mr.. Peterson knew how grateful
the ladies were to him last year he would
hurry I'D and advocate them again before
anybody else gets ahead Of him.

As parlor ornament the gsudy peacocH
threatens to drive out the unpretentions
owl And indeed stuffed peacock may
we'll be called thing of beauty. To be
sure superstitious folks do call the peacock
bird of i'll omen, but most Of us ere like
the sprightly young lady who says I'D take
the peacock and risk the i'll luck Apropos
of peacocks, young lady, not very expert
skater, was urged to represent one OF those
birds at recent carnival. ooh, my good
pess!' wss the reply, 1T would be too real
istic; my clothes might be very fine, but
when looked at my feet my feathers would
fall.

1fopu rnupo man Of yOur apuuRIntAnce
should ask you what manner OF gift to send
TO his Dulcipa advise him to present her
with some cream laid writing paper en-
bossed with her monogram in blue and gold.
Dulcina will love the giver. To be sure,
she will probably make use of most of the
paper to write to some other fellow, but let
lot this thought curb the generosity OF AN
gus,us. By the way, Mr.. REGISTER, if there
is any young man in whom you are inter
ested tell him If ever he asks young lady
to correspond with him he had better supply
her with postage stamps, for | tell you the
girls do begrudge Uncle Sam his two cent
dues, and one girl Of my acquaintance de-
clares that all her candy money goes to
enrich the Postoliice Department.

By the way, girls, speaking OF mono
grams, I'm told that Sam Harrison can
make splendid ones, so if you want any just
ask him and he will make you half dozen
which will all come in handy, as mono
grams are fashionable on everything, in let
tiers of silver and letters of gold, as we'll as
OF love.

Girls, I told you, so! Bicycles are sp-
pearing everywhere, and there is dear boy
for each machine; sometimes he rides it,
sometimes it rides him; but that is small
matter. At any rate it makes pleasant
excitement for US to mark from our win.
dows pair of cultivated heels in the air,
and an admired head in contact with the
cobble stones. But bicycle is awfully
swell, you know; the injured head is avfully
swell" too, but arnica is cheap and the
procession moves on. One dear boy pa
thetically remarked 20 me not long ago that
he believed that if he could once learn TO
sit on his bicycle he would become a fine
rider. As there has not been funeral from
bis house think he must have learned.

And right here will anybody tell me why
the wearing of white shoes is part of a
bicycle education. You cant induce a
girl to wear white shoes. Cause why?
Why don't you know that they make the
feet look ct least three sizes larger than nee
essary? Fact, assure you. In the Ian
guage Of the lntelligencer, Some people
want the earth, and the dear boys who at.
tempt to walk in those white sboeocertain.
ly cover more than their share of it-appar-
emily.
There is sore talk of another play to be
given BY well known amateurs during the
coming summer. Its not yet settled fact,
but will in all probability be materislized
before long. With 80 much talent in the
city it is thousand pities that we have no
settled dramatic organization among u.s.

All the girls are coming out in such pretty
cloth gowns-tailor made l suppose ought
10 call them, but object TO the word
tailor" IN connection with feminine wear.
And tell you girl who has pretty figure
does lust look sweet in one of those plain
close fitting frocss. made with but little
| trimming. Now / believe after all ] agree
With the "unspeakable Turk" who, when
bis wife adopted European attire bewailed
the fact that she had to pay for having her
good material all cut up into little pieces
and then sewed together again.

And right now, want to tell you not tc
be surprised if your lady friends when they
appear in their new trocks give you a very
| slight nod of recognition. For, o dear, the
new standing collars are high enough to
choke Us and 30 stifly lined as to render it
rather difficult to nod at all Indeed If they
90 mp any higher the smaller feminine fry
