Lent 1886 is several days old, and peo
pie who are, restricted in their social in
dulgences by its beheSts are settling down
to season of quiet, and when they see
anyone else indulgipg in little parlor
waltz, can only look on and wish dancing
was not one Of the social objections which
Lent has on the list. However, they can
indulge in little game Of euchre of an IN.
ostentatious nature, without the progres-
sivs preceding it, while that
most delightful observation-disclosures
is still left to console them.
But society people in Wheeling
will hardly notice the change as things so
cially have been SO quiet the past season
there is no sudden break off to undergo.
l once knsw young lady, devout Epis-
copaliau, who wore pair of bangle brace
lets, Of which she was exceedingly fond.
The bangles were variegated in character,
and very unique, some of them being Gu.
riosities rarely seen. Instead of re.
stricting herself from the pleasures
Of dancing and the delights Of
society she instead sacrificed the wearing
of her beloved bracelets, which she consid-
cred sufficient pensnce. This young lady
is of an exceedingly lively nature, however,
and social epjoyments were aim st as nee
essary to her as food.
The social whirl of the past week has
not been at all extensive, and the follow
ing will be found to embrace about all Of
fairs Of that character.
I An anxious young gentleman reader Of
the REGISTER, who, although his income is
not extensive, endesvors 70 keep abreast
of the times in the cut and style of his
clothing, writes to ask if he would be an
object of marked observation were he to
appear at an evening party in his cid but
still respectable dress suit when others OF
later cut were worn.
His inquiry may be answered with mo, y
from several standpoints. First, he will
not have, or has not had many opportuni.
ties of appearing in society this season in
full dress, as affairs of that sort have been
few and far between IN Wheeling, and
again as far as the very latest cut is con-
cerned, nearly all Of our boys are about in
the same position. Secondly, q clswham-
msr is something like wine. Age gives the
former an air of responsibility, much
preferable to that Of a bran new suit, as
long as the garment is whole and not too
rusty, Just as age gives wine that Increased
flavor in taste.
SO long as you nave good and service
able claw.hammer coat Of black broadcloth,
don't mind about the turn Of the collar,
but put It on, along with the low cut waist
coat and the trousers, also of black. En-
circle your neck with white tie OF Eug
lish tspe-that is the correct and most
formal thing-have your boots presentable,
leave off your watch chain, and go forth
| in the proud consciousness that, 60 far as
your raiment is concerned, you are fit to
appear in any evening society. There so
conduct yourself that nobody will think Of
observing what you wear.
