Following is a beautiful tribute to
woman, the authorship Of which is I'M
known: "Place her among the flowers, ios-
ter her as a tender plant, and she is 4 thing
of fancy, waywardness and folly, annoyed
by q dewdrop, fretted by the touch Of 4
butterny's wing, ready to faint at the
sound Of a beetle or the rafting OF n win
dow-sasl at night, and is oyerpowtred by
the perfume Of a roscbud. Bat let real
calamity come, rouse her affections, en-
kindle the fires OF Ler being and mark her
then how strong is her heart. Place her in
the heart of battle, give her = child, r bird
Or anything to protect, and see her in n
relative instance, lifting her white arms
as q shield, as her own blood
crimsons her upturned forehead, pray
ing fer her life 10 protect the
helpless. Transplant her in the dark
places Of the earth, call forth Ter energies
to action, and her breath becomes a heal
ing, her presence blessing. She disputes
inch 10y inch the strides OF a stalking PEE
thence, when man. the s,roug and brave,
pale and frightened, shriuks away. Mis-
fortune hurts her not; she wears away a
life in silent endurance, goes forth with
less timidity than TO the bridal altar. In
prosperity, she is a bud full OF odOrs,
waiting but tor the winds of adversely to
scatter them abrOad-gold, valuable, hat
uutried in the furnace. In short, woman
is a miracle, a mystery, the center from
which radiates the charm Of existence
The new social club is about eli assured
fact. it has been given a solid foundation
in the start of, and it promises to he 4
thing Of not only \ few months or 4 year,
but 4 permanent institution. The com
mittec on membership expects 20 have at
least seventy FIVE shares OfstOCk subscribed
for By tomorrow evening, when tie next
meeting is to he held in the proposed ele.
giant quarters Of The club, in Rogers block,
aud it is very probable that the number Of
shares will be run up to at least one hun
dred before many days. Now thai the
Wheeling club, which, by the way, IS its
name, is 10 be a definite thiHg, some Of the
yOuug ladies' are already talking Of C0n-
tIihuting specimens OF their haudiwork, in
the shape Of painted and embroidered ban
ntrs, plaques, picture, chair tides and
other little bits OF decorative work Of FEM
iuine invention, al Of which 70 20 make a
plrlOr or bJuGOic pretty and coy. The
ladies will have a splendid toilet room and
they no doubt will add TO its beauty by
touches of feminine taste, rs well a. hep
the boys out on tie decorations for the re-
ccption room and ball room. Girls, this
will be i good way 10 occupy your spare
time during Lent. That club Is gOiug TO
be a nice institution and the rooms will be
the finest in this section.
But speaking of Lent reminds me chat
the past week has been almost devoid OF
social events, and haven't heard many
whispers of a promising nature for the tu-
ture. Indeed, The prospects are that there
will be q dearJh Of social amusements until
Easter Sunday lifts the veil Of quist and
bids the world of society be gay once
more. And, by the way, the projectors OF
the new club, anticipate having every
thing in readiness 10y Easter Monday to
formally open the season, and al the same
time hap'i2e the Lew club rooms, ~ il
we're. That ball viii undoubtedly be one
Of the most elegant and brilliant ever given
in the city. Justth'uk o. fit!
Ilnow looks IS if the doom ofthc hustle
was sealed. Hip draTery will be done
away with, hust-waistS Will be worn, and
with the wearing OF short waists there will
be no excuse for tighi-,aciag, so that fash
ION, with one wave of her magic wand,
Will accomplish that which medical men
have tor years vainly sought to DO. ic =,
persuade the fair sex not to squeeze in"
their waists.
At least such are the predictions Of Mime.
Lambcle, Of New York City, who
has designed and made all the costumes
worn by Miss Fanny Davenport in the
play OF LA TusCa, - the time OF Which is
1900, in Rome during the first consulate in
France. This style Of costume is called
the "Directcire." A few dresses made
after this fashion have already been worn
10y some OF the more yeHtuTesOme queens
of society, but the greater part Of the
feminine world are a little afraid o. adopt
ing it, because the eye Is unacCustomed to
modes so radically different from anything
which has been worn since the days Of the
peerless Nine Recamicr, the originator of
the DircctOire costume. Nine. Lambele
is of the op.n!ca that Miss Davenport Will
serve IS a sort Of living statue to show to
the world Of women how beautiful are

Leap year is i tremendous fraud. No

ing ofljap year, an awlully diyer;ing tea
was given by a Young Philadelphia swell
the other afternoon. The event YVES the
outcome Of tGe failure of the Ladies' 10 ar
range a leap year c~oti}lioa for the geatle-
men several weeks ago, aad was in the ma
ture Of q consolation. The Wheeling
young men didn't take this sort Of revenge
when the ladies failed TO have that leap
year hop.
A most enjoyable gathering was that at
the residence of Mr.. Michael Wagner, in
the Eighth ward, on Saturday evening, the
seventy.fith birthday of Mr.. Wagoner he.
ing celebrated on that occasion. About
