A rather good story comes to light In
reference to some young men in the city
who determined to secure revenge on q
number of their girl friends, for an alleged
slight. At o recent party given by one Of
the young ladies to q young lady visitor,
a number of gentlemen visitors to the city
were present, and the girls all We'd with
each other in making the strange young
gentleman enjoy the occasion thoroughly.
They succeeded so well and neglected the
home boys to such an extent that the lat
ter became disguised and went into an
other room, where they remained until
the party was over. Determined to get
even with the girls for this awful injury,
they held a meeting the next day and
organized a bachelors club, the principal
bylaw of which was that no member
would be allowed to spend more than
forty cents per week for amusement, and
that any member caught treating any girl
to candy would be compelled to pay q fine
of S.; and should he be discovered COM
mitting the horrible crime Of feeding her
ice cream the fine would be $40.
This action wa made known to the
girls and the boys waited to see them be-
come penitent and ask for forgiveness. But
they didn't. On the contrary they gave
the ~"bachelor's club" to understand that
they did not care whether they treated
them or not; so there! The boys found
their little scheme had signally failed and
they were more disguised than ever, 80
they came to the conclusion that about the
best thing they could do was to try and
turn the whole matter off as a joke, be-
d they realized the fact that they
could not do without the girls. Butithe
latter, while they probably deserved some
little rebuke for their action in making the
boys feel badly, refuse to accept the club
business as a Joke and tease the young men
about it. However, as they are seen at
the ice cream parlors again, the indica-
tions are that the bachelors club is no
more,
There is entirely too much dishonesty in
domestic life, says a writer. Husbands are
forever deceiving their wives, and being
deceived in return. The man who prac-
tees deceit upon his sweetheart or wife
may depend upon it that they will do the
same as o as they find him ont and lose
confidence in him to such an extent that
he will cease to be respected as q lover or
husband ought to be respected.
The Sun thinks that young people
should never kiss until after they are mar
ried, says Puck. We wish Mr.. Dana
would tell us what to do when you softly
and tremblingly ask, Twill you be mine?"
and she still more softly and tremblingly
whispers 'sYes!" 1t is our humble and
inalienable opinion that if God ever made
q kiss for anything in the world he made
it for that supreme moment. We have
spoken.
Culture is spreading. The other day
Miss Frank Whitehead, OF Texarkana,
bought herself half dozen big trunks full
of finery, had them shipped to her address
at a leading girls college up North, and
sent the bills to her fond father, who is q
man of worth and substance, along with q
telegram that she herself had taken the
train for school, as she was bound to
have q fine education"
No corsets, loose bands, and the weight
of the skirt suspended from the shoulders,
is the only formula for q comfortable
household working dress for women that
has or ever can be given. FoSuitH-t
women a wrapper made in CAT u
princess fashion is the most becoming,
while for slender forms the plain full skirt
attached to q spencer or yoke waist is
more desirable. For material, cotton
goods-ginghsm, seersucker or calico-are
the only suitable fabrics for working
dresses.
The social events of the past week have
not been al all numerous and matters in
that line are becoming quieter as the sea-
- raak pnonu nannla hauo
left the city on their vacations and those
unfortunate ones left behind are too much
occupied in attempting to keep cool these
sweltering days to think of anything in the
line of society. Several little informal
tennis and bowling paties occurred dur
ing the week and were thoroughly en-
joyed.
On Monday evening last a pleasant little
dancing party was given at The Wheeling
Club rooms in honor of several young
lady visitors to the city. Quite q number
of the members and their lady friends
were present, and as Prof. Charlie Kill
meyer made the music q very pleasant
evening was spent.
A pleasant farewell party was rendered
Miss Phoebe Freeman. of Sharpsburg, Pa,
at the handsome new residence of Enoch
Ball on Ninth street, Friday evening,
previous to her return home after o pleas
ant visit. Prof. Charlie Killmeyer was on
hand and furnished his usual delightful
music, to which the merry party of young
folks danced pleasantly until eleven O'Clock
when refreshments were served and hearti.
ly discussed. Dancing was then resumed
and continued until 1:30 yesterday morn
ing when the guests retired with many
kind wishes for Miss Freeman.
