A List of Social Events.

The season Just past was undoubtedly
the dull,st one experienced by society
peoule in Wheeling for many years In
fset social events of especial note there
were meme, not even one Of the old delightful
Germans to look back to with pleasant rem
iniscenses of jolly partners, handsome taVOrs
and sIy little firtatious. OF course there
were 3 great many progressive euchre par
ties of all sizes, as enjoyable as possible to
make them, but no game OF any kind Is
imbued with that enhancing fascination
that hoyers about Josie Kramers wsltzes
and fingers near the lsnciers, or
Incomes a part and parcel
of the charming little tete-a-tete after one
Of the dances. Progressive euchre pos
sesses lot that animation that makes the
heart glow and the pulse beat quicker, and
breathes q divine inspiration into the soul
the fact is, any one can play progressive
euchre, but every one isn't capable OF ex-
pariencinS those exquisite sensations IN
spired by q German, whose dehcately sweet

spioysbis games have already taken place
There is a rumor that Lestherwood vii
again devote itself to croquet this summer

likely that the Island Croqust Club, which
INDUCED in SO many enjoyable bouts las
simmer, will sgsin come to the front
1t is thought the rumor that dan

favor of the proposition.
Wheeling society people depend grea
deal in the summer time upon their friend
