The Lenten season Of 1888 ended las I
night with the last stroke of twelve, and
for a year, lacking forty days, society peo-
pie will unrestrsiuedly mingle in social
festivities. During the past few weeks on
~tertaiuments have been planned for the
after-Lenton season, and from what | can
learn, quite a number of events are on the
taps for the near future. For this week
there is q swell dinner party, a card party
and several lesser events, while next week
the Wheeling Club will probably give its
first grand hop, and il promises TO be one
of the largest affairs of the kind ever given
in the city. In fact the season will be one
of unusual activity, a. everybody seems de-
termined to pitch in and make up for lost
time, i, it may be classified as such.
As the season of spring house clean
ing draws nigh, a look of melancholy de-
spsir may be seen upon the cOdntenauces
OF ali married men The cost of a spring
bonnet has ceased to worry them, and
DOW this necessary evil is thrust upon
them. None of them dislike to see q
clean home, but it is the thought OF eating
meals from the Ice box and mantle piece,
and the the thought of long hours Of a
weary search fer wearing apparel after
the siege is past. But it is a well-es-
tablished custom that all must grin and
bear il.
The era Of spring bOnnets has dswned,
and many u Wheeling lady will feel a
tiDge Of delight a. she sits in her pew at
church to-day and watches the look Of
envy depicted upon the fLces Of her
n~eighbors. Certainly the fashions pro-
mulgsied by the milliners this season are
truly bsautiful. There are al styles aud
shapes ut prices to suit everybody.
Easter costumes will also bloom ont to-
day, and there promises to be q number
OF strikiDgly beautiful ones. Wheeling
ladies' have not been idle for the past forty
days.
On Friday evening next The Club will
entertain its members at. Franzbeim's Hal.
Killmeyer will play, and a pleasant evening
IS anticipated.
There is still talk of one or two weddings
in high life, for April, the high contract
ing parties being-well; / might be diyulg'
ing a secret if names were mentioned, so
you'll have to guess for the present.
Several Of the Societies 10 the city will
give balls this week, and almost every
night will be occupied with a social affair
somewhere or another.
Wednesday evening the Opera House
Orchestra will give a grand promenade
concert and ball at Arion Hall, for which

being a very enjoyable affair.

Here is o Gecret for women troubled with
obesity which we anticipate will carry
some weight, namely, that bodies exposed
constantly 10 the sun gain such activity
of the blood forces rs 10 prevent any ex'
cessiye forming Of adipOse matter" II
must not, however, be supposed that, On
the other hand, plenty of sunlight is con
duciye TO leanness. Not so, for the really
healthful condition is neither fat nor leau,
but shapely and plumpSand the suns rays
quicken the nutriment functions, prOdue
ing a beautiful and elastic r%Oundness Of
torn; indeed the constant action of the sun
upon a human body is like the effect upon
a plant, vitalizing and strengthening to
every part.-DreSS.
