The past week has been rather prolinc
of social events, most of which were Oh a
rather quiet nature, among the NUMBER
being several weddings. The prospects
are good for a very swell ball inside OF the
next two weeks at the Mcclure House, as
the young gentlemen are talking very
seriously of it, and all that is needed
to make the proposition a 80 is
for all the boys to express their willingness
to assist. The Wheeling young men have
not givena ball for q long while, and 1t Is
about time they were showing their ap-
probation of the Inequalities extended
them by their lady friends for the past two
years OF so. What could be more elegant
than u swell ball at the Mcclure with
Kramer's orchestra to furnish the music,
and a good supper sandwiched
in at II o'clock. 1t is sincerely hoped
that the young men will succeed in this
c~ommendable undertaking.
The list is out for a very swell dance to
be given at Franzheim's hall next Friday
night, by the members ofthe Old"French."
Kramer will make the music and a de-
lightful time is anticipated.
The swell event of the week in Hebrew
social circles was the ball given by the
Mercantile club, on Thursday evening at
their spacious quarters on Main street,
formerly F~ranzheim's Hall. 1t was the
opening event of the season and was one OF
the most delightful affairs ever given by
the club. Although the club is composed
of the youngetrset, a great many OF the
older folks were present and enjoyed the
clubs Inequalities. The scene was indeed
as brilliant one, rs beautifully attired la
dies and evening cOstumed gentlemen
passed through the figures
of the lancers or skinned over the waxed
floor to the charming measures of the
waltze, the inspiration being furnished by
Prof. Kramer's superb orchestra. At Il
o'clock the gay party adjourned to the st.
James Hotel, where n sumptuous supper
wa served in excellent style. At 2:3O
o'clock Friday morning the last notes of
music died away and all retired from the
scene of gayety tired and happy. The
Mercantile will have a very gay season, rs
