beauty and render their wearers Joy for

said that be wears wealth OF roses,
while another has bunch of yellow daisies
on his crowning adorrment which evidently
means that the girl who made 1t regards

A good story is told on one Of these mas
culine rink freGueIters. He went up to
fair professional skater the other day and
with sweet North Wheeling smile asked
her TO skate. The fair one calmly fixed her
ewes two inches above his head and taking
out her handkerchief wiped her heated brow,
and still gazing into vacancy gided OF,

the language of one of the girls, Just

Mr.. George Laughlin's progressive euchre
on Thursday evening was delightful affair,
from which the guests departed regretfuliy
at 2 o'clock. Miss Sydney Heiskell bore of
the ladies prize plush card box, and Mr..
Charlie List won box Of cigars.
Charlie OFT has departed for the land OF
the cowboy, mingling with his tarewells
dark hints of a permanent residence there.
Some of the girls say that in spite OF those
fierce mustachios, Charlie is too tender
hearted for a cowboy. But the Friday
Club mourns, and refuses to be comforted.

| am told that the costume worn by Mrs.
Hendricks at the Inaugural ball was Just
too sweet for anything, and as some OF the
girls expect to be the wives of future Presi.
dents, they will probably like to know all
about the costumes of their predecessors.
Well, she wore a dress-beg pardon,
ftock-of gold colored brocade, with front OF
plain gold velvet embroidered in seed pearls,
The corsage also being ornamented IN
pearls. Miss Cleveland appeared in white
ottoman silk trimmed with point lace, and
the wife of Speaker Carlisle was Respondent
in superb toilet, the back Of which was OF
violet velvet wrought in gold all over the
enormous train. The front was OF lilac
satin, almost covered with embroidery in
pearl and pink beads. The sides Of the
skirt were pulled, and had pearl and pink
rnaments hanging over it. Another lovely
toilet was worn by Mrs. Daniel Manning,
he bride of the new Secretary OF the Treas
TRY. This was Of white satin, the front be-
ing trimmed with pearls, and the long cor:
sge with point lace caught with several
large diamond ornaments.

AS told you before, lots OF the girls are
making French candy, which their gentle
! men friends are obliged to eat and declare
sweeter than anything save the maker.
| Well, each girl thinks her own particular
\ brand the best, but as a great many are
asking for good recipe, will give you one
which has proved very good one. To 1.-TWO
pounds of confectoner candy you take o
| ieaspoonful OF vanilla, the whites Of two
eggs, and as much cold water as egg. You
here cut enough of the sugar to knead the
dough with, and then mix up the other, roll
out and cut into pieces. Of course, before you
| begin, you prepare your nuts AMI fruit
| in this way. Break your English walnuts
| gently, to leave the kernels whole, separate
these and rolling piece of the dough be-
tween your fingers place a kernel on each
| side Of it. Almonds can either be made up
in this way or rolled in balls of dough. Dates
make pretty candy, too, the seeds being re-
moved and piece of dough substituted,
| while figs are nice cut into strips, Of which
only a line ia left visible. After you have
made up part of your dough, a pleasant
change of flavor is given by adding some
grated cocoanut, which is also good made
up into balls. Another variety is made by
chopping fruit and nuts fine, mixing it with
the dough and cutting into squares. Some
| of the girls make lovely chocolate creams
by rolling in balls between the palms, AMI
then dipping in hot, thick chocolate, but
these young damsels are away up in the
toothsome art

when the spring time comes these girls in.

A well known young gentleman has been
sick, 30 sick that he was unable to attend
to business, so be hied himself home in the
character ofan interesting invalid and sent
for the doctor-that functionary came, pre-
scribed, and ordered the sick man to re-
main in the house. All very we'll for that
day, but on the following day he quietly
slipped out the front door and the doctor

1t is whispered that another of our So
ciety boys, a gid edged blonde, will also

The illness Of Mrs. Wilson has been
much regretted. As apart from the fact
that she is the Governors wife, this charm
ing lady has made lots Of friends by her
pleasant manners. II was q matter Of
much regret that she was unable to be pres
ent at the ball. Although the ball was
rather slimly attended some very pretty cos
tunes were worn and admired.
