THECOMING AND GOINGOF PEOPLE.

NS1ESI HE exodus of Wheel
tHEFNGVhA ing people from the
NDYNk$SNVv city to the seashOre and
SSeTS&%SO other summer resorts
S&IH@HN has been unusually
EfSWSS@ 49, large this season, al
HTM NM though the majority of
N$S$NASS them, unlike city peo-
HSsStAN& pie generally, have
q9S2JA Hgone for the benefits to be
S4OkNS derived from the change of
: @IA air and the rest afforded.
A0AXW This absence of citizens has
(~ NJ made things socially very
~. dull in the past two weeks, and
YNthey are likely to remain so now
M until the fall season opens the
NN yaiety once more. In the mean-
t time a large part of our society
people will amuse themselves rambling
among the forest glades, bathing at the
seashore, inhaling the fresh breezes OF the
mountains, ct cetera, while we untortu-
mates who are compelled to remainat home
are left to amuse ourselves as best we see
fit, and none of us have seen TIT to any
great extent so far, although there is prob
ably brighter time coming While there
have been but few gatherings i'll society
during the past week, worthy OF especial
note, there have been many OF an informal
character highly enjoyable
Ieatherwood and Island people have
been playing croquet as if their lives de-
pended upon it, while lawn tennis has
come in for its share Of attention. In
many of these games poor, sweltering Wheel
ing people have been allowed to take part,
but they generally get beaten so badly,
especially bv the experts Of that charming
suburb LeatherwOOd, that they do not
take very deep interest in the game.
Several parties are whispered for the
near future, but nothing definite can be
learned as to when they are to be given.
1t is understood, however, that the list for
one has already been around among the
BOYS; SO, girls, look out! The delrth OF
picnicS has been something for comment.
Everybody seemed to have selected the
Fourth of July for their picnics and since
that time the word and deed both seem to
have been dropped entirely.
Quite q new wrinkle was introduced by
some of our society people last Tuesday af-
ternOOn, and it proved to be decidedly en-
ioyable. A party composed of number of
our best known society folks eXcurted
out to Sycamore Grove, where in delight
full spot on the grassy banks OF the creek a
portion of the party seated themselves,
while the others, attired in regulation sea-
side bathing suits, INDUCED in the delights
of bath. While it could not be compared
to Il seaside splash, yet it proved to be lots
of fun, both for the participants and the
spectators, and it is probable that this will
not be the last party of this sort. At the
conclusion of the sport the folks adjourned
to Major LOring's residence where m APP
petizing lunch was spread and gay time
experienced in talking over the afternoon S
fun.
On Wednesday afternoon quiet we'd
ding occurred at the residence of MIR. JnO. ii.
Hall, on Fourteenth street, the contracting
parties being his daughter, Miss Ida NJ,
and Prof 4. G. Braden, Of Washington,
Pa, Rev. d. A. Cunningham, ID. d., ot1i-
chatting. After the ceremony 4 pleasant re-
ceptiOn was held and & sumptuOus dinner
was partaken of Mr.. and Mrs. Bradcn
left at 4:1O over the F., c. x st. l.. for
bridal tour Ofseveral weeks with countless
good wishes following in their wake, rs
we'll rs a shower of rice and old shoes.
They will reside in Washington, Pa.
Thursday evening, Master Albert Coin,
of Cleveland, Ohio, who is visiting his
uncle, Mr.. f. Emsheimer, on Eleventh
street, was rendered delightful surprise
by number of his young friends. The
little folks amused themselves pleasantly
until 1880 when choice refreshments were
served, after which the fun was kept up
until seaSOnable hour.
Miss Nellie Fox, of the East Side, pleas
antly entertained number Of young
friends at her home Wednesday evening,
music, social games and refreshments being
the prominent features.
