An endemic Of court plaster has broken
out among us, and nearly every pretty girl
one meets wears at least one beauty spot,
some wear too-one to call attention to
pretty mouth, another to show of rosy
cheek or dimpled chin. Indeed, it is not
only the girls who display a par
dorable vanity in that respect A
few OF the gentlemen have followed their
example, Charlie List, for instance, having
been seen with tiny black patch on his
handsome face.
~
notice that very few Of the gentlemen
still wear the full beard so fashionable a
short time ago, and most of them in shaw
ing them of appear several years younger.
Austin Beach and Russell Ward are two OF
the few who appear to advantage with them,
and would not part with q single hair even
for keepsake. .,
Many society boys are appearing with
smooth faces. chiefly notice, these who are
victims of the dramatic craze, which has OF
late appeared among US. And, by the way.
there is a good deal of dramatic talent
among us, as recent entertainments prove.
~
Speaking of entertainments, have men
toned all Of those being gotten up BY the
Benevolent Union, save the 5 o'clock
tea, which is to be the grand finale Of
the whole affair. We are all familiar
both in theory and practice with the verses
which proclaim that a man can live without
all save dining, and surely the Wheeling
public can have nothing of which to COM
plain if it is furnished both with an intel
iectual and substantial feast, for consider
alton, OF course.

Tie ladies are wise in selecting pretty
girls who will wait at the tables in becom-
ing costume-I think, myself it will prove
an economical idea, for any ore but very
bold man would hesitate to give free rein to
mis- appetite before charming and ETHEREAL
young lady.
Nv
saw nice young fellow Of my acquain-
lance teaching three pretty girls to skate
the other day, and tell you, what he has
not learned about hand squeezing is known
TO few indeed. 1t was hard work, but he
bore it Ikea hero, and only betrayed his
wrath to practiced eye, when the prettiest
one of the lot knocked him down and sat on
him. don't mean that she did it
a la Sullivan, but one of her little feet went
one way and the other another, and the
natural consequence followed.
Well, all three Ct the girls could not have
their man Friday at once, 80 the boldest ones
ventured ont together while the most sensi-
bic one pretended she was afraid to stand
without him. and so monopolized the
teacher. Just as these two'fair explorers
were were beginning to feet proud Of their
bearing,a small boy came whizzing by, like
belated comet and then-then-well, one
OF the girls embraced friendly post, but
the other sat down so hard that she declared
her eyeballs we're loosened in their sockets

Talking about the 'admiration which the

don't tell, but there are lots of young men

A good many fthe girls are putting back
their bangs, what bangs they have left after
following the latest mania in that line for
several years. At first each particular hair
stands on end and the wearer looks as if a
mouse had Just run under her chair. By and
by, if she has pretty forehead, the effect is
very good. Lots Of rs, however, still cling
TO the LaDgtry, which leaves very little hair
TO dispose Of in the back, for most of the
girls in town wear very little hair which has
a hairpin for root Nearing all of them
are wearing the back hair dressed high in
loose webs or pufs, and a few who have
adopted the fashion of wearing couple of
roses coquetishly on one side, and very be-
coming it is. ROSE RED.
