Wheeling people are noted for their fond
ness for society, and while the interest

to entirely die out.
There is difference between Wheeling
married men and those of other places,

the best side of the difference. Although
many of their wives and families are away
from the city for the summer, not one OF
them has deigned to even suggest stag
party. Whetherit is that they are too fond
of the society of the ladies to hold party |
at which they are not present, or for some
less laudable reason l am not prepared to
saw. not being of their number. Anyway, /.
the gentlemen in other cities seem to take |
delight in stag parties, and then Doast
to their lady friends of the elegant time
they had. That is real mean. But then,
it Is probably only fair that they should
do so in view of the fact that the ladies IN

wearing apparel for the following ten days.

editor has a pretty lively time corralllng +
all the social events in the city each week.
He is supposed to know all that is trans

went to call upon n young lady Sunday
afternoon, arriving at 5 o'clock, and |
whether he was so charmed with the com

D. IN. Fortunately there were several
ladies ut home and they took turns in en-
Pertaining him. He was a slayer from !
away back and while the girls are still
alive, they had narrow escape. 1t Is
understood the young man will take
change of collars and cuffs the next time
