How the Dear Girls C0ntriYe to
Keep Clean Faces.
The Appalling yerdancy Of the Wheeling
Youth---Easter Parties---A Love Of
a Hat---0ther Matters.

SOuC OuC was ~ a.
on the fact that while a great majority OF
Wheeling girls have very fine compilations,
they are evidently natural and tree from any
| artificial aid save perhaps q little dust OF
powder, which most of the girls say they
| only wear Ito take the shine of the skin"
| others declare it is to remove traces OF SCOT,
| while a few honestly aver they use it as a
beautifer. Whatever the reason may be It
is true that there are very few ofthe girls who
| do not carry a little square OF chamois skin ora
more vulgar substitute for that article,
which is easily concealed in a handkerchief.
Once in a while it happens that the unini-
tiated ones of the other sex will say, Il do
wonder how you girls conttrive to keep such
clean faces" So do l.

By the way, one Of these unsophisticated
creatures asked me the other day, why on
earth do you girls tie your heads up in those
horrid wells these bright days2 A fellow
can't tell whether he is stepping aside to let
an angel or a witch pass him." 1t is time
for the green things of the earth to make
their appearance, but the ~verdancy
OF that youth in civilized
country was simply appalling
GOODNESS me-, uiQn ne Know tnat,
as all sensible girls are aware, these
spring winds are full of tan and freckles,
and that she who would wear the tints of the
rose and lily, wells herself carefully when
she walks abroad. Dear me; how dreadful
it is to be only q man-an outer barbarian
though now that ] come 20 think Of it,
these bsrbarians do not iced to s~uffocate
behind wells on sunshining days, and
seriously, | am afraid that the reason Of
this is-stoop down and lie, me whisper il,
because the girls like them as we'll treckled
and sunburnt. Strange, but true.

A new and pretty idea is the giving Of
Easter parties for children, experience hav.
ing having proven that little folks like nov
city in pleasure just ss well as their elder
sisters and brothers. OF course the egg is
the great feature Of these parties, the invita-.
tons being sent out on egg-shaped cards,
AS youthful swains are apt to be bashful the
plan of matching eggs for partners at the
supper table has been tried-the girls each
drawing On egg from one basket, the boys
from another. The confectionery and as
many of the good things as possible are in

ed at these gatherings, as they might cast
gloom on the party, and reduce the more

From puns we come naturally to Sam
Harrison and you will all be glad to hear
that this ornament to his sex is possessed of
a love of a hat, the like OF which was never
seen by land or sea. | must, however, cor.
rect an ERRONEOUS impression which has
some how got abroad. 1t is not true that
this remarkable hat is promised 10 the pro-
plietor Of q museum as. soon as its distin-
guiShed wearer is through with it. The
fact is that such negotiations are pending,
but nothing has yet been definitely settled.

here, wearing his blushing honors and dis
playing another sweet thing in,head gear. Mr..
Hupp promises to become one Of the finest
elocutionists, and many Of his friends would
be glad of an opportunity Of hearing him
recite.

A few more bright days will probably
bring out a number of our fair euues-
~triennes. Nothing to my mind can make
a prettier picture than a slender, pretty girl
in handsome habit and riding q fine horse.
A good many Wheeling girls have already
learned to ride very well, and as their en-.
thusiasm will doubtless infect others, riding
parties will probably be all the 90 during
the coming season.
So
And speaking OF amusements for the
balmy season which will surely arrive ere
long, | hope the tennis club which was
talked of last summer can be organized this
year. There was, | believe, some difficulty
about finding a suitable place for q tennis
court, but surely in all Wheeling there can
be found one philanthropist who will sacri.
fee his grass for the general good of society.
Aboat club was also talked of last year
and all the girls were thinging of buying
broad hats and committing Drifting to
memory. But alasl The site was selected
but the boat house did not appear. The
dear boys must have been forbidden to 20
near the water and as usual done as they
told.
! think it is safe to predict that Wheeling
ladies will not be leaving home to take les
sons in the art Of fencing, which has be-
80 popular in many cities. Our girls
are not inclined to masculine amusements.
| don't believe there are half q dozen in
town who can play q game Of billiards when
opportunity offers. and the other girls are
not at all ~envious Of the few who can boast
that accomplishment generally acquired
while of en- q summers jaunt.
a good many Of the girls have been busy
painting Easter eggs and cards during the
past week. 1t is to be hoped that the rest
the fair artists viii be more fortunate
han the dswsel who last year, painted a
beautiful card and sent it to a gentleman
riend, who being all unversed in the ways
Cupid, mistook the appearance of the
envelope and thinking it was Q circular.
ossed it unopened into the waste basket.
think that young man examined his Easter
nail more carefully this rear.
So
/ am told that there will be a revival In
ocial matters now that Lent is over. Pos
