It is an undoubted fact that from q
social standpoint Wheeling is not up to
date, and some distance behind cities Of
much smaller s;zs OF course, Wheeling
society is q credit to the city, bu. the
nature of the entertainments given seem tc
be confined to the old style and when one
entertains ONES friends, it is nearly alwsys
with dance, during which supper OF
refreshments are served, or tea given
By Lady to her lady friends, both Of
which are generally on q1ite an expensive
scale, and therefore not very numerous.
OF course the progressive euchIe CT whist
party il an old standby, too, and although
this form Of entertainment is not so ex'
pensiye, It is quite old and the
novelty has worn off, besides iS is
generally in tie nsture of club affIir.
1t is not intended to convty the idea that
these forms CT entertainment are not cd
joyable, because they are and will no
doubt Away remain So, but there is seldom
anything new about them, and novelty is
what is pleasing in social entertainment
as well as on the stage. Now wish to
speak of an entertainment in the shsps Of
tea that is very delightful, very in-
expensive, not at all troublesome and
which is popular in other cii:s. The
invitations are sent out 70 ladies and gen.
;lsmen alike for either from till 6, 6 till
8 OF 8 till 10 o'clock p. m, the former
hours having the prefeie nee.
The hostess has several lady
friends to help her receive, and perhaps D
gentleman or two if she desires, aad as
the gusts arrive they are re-
ceiyed in the reception room aud then
a-e at liberty at their own sweet will to
pass into the dining room where tes IL
served item in dsli2ate China cups, ny q
lady who prtsides over this part Of the
affair, generally 10 very graceful manner,
because she has opportunity to show her
graces With the tel all sorts Of small
c AXES ard bon-bOrs may be served aud the
guests can stand about at their leisure,
drink their tea and chat with one another.
OF course tie tea is given by artificial
light, and it las the appearance OF
an after-night affair. If gwen
before elk O'Clock tie ladies wilt wear Or
binary calling c1stumss and the g'ntle-
men dress suits, bat if after six full dress
may be worn This style Of emit Rain
ment, while not new by any means, is
very enjoyable, and as before stated, it is
inexpensive, pretty ard very little trouble,
and would be novelty in Wheeling. A
hostess can introduce ide,s of her own into
the teas and 80 vary the style somewhat.
"Autumn parties" are fad at present.
At Tel edo the O.her a:ternt n, at sn enter
tainment OF that sort, the apartments were
decorated with autumn leaves, woodbine
and beautiful flowers. The dining room
was tr mined with autumn leaves and the
table waI picture. In the centre Was an
immanse pampkiu that had be,n scooped
out snd filled with delicious fruit, the
base of the pumpkin being Cov;rsd with
autumn leaves. Flowers were laid loosely
on the table, and the souvenirs at each
guests place was piece OF birch bNk,
eaud-pain;ed with autumn leaves, mas
turtiums and g,lden rod. On each ones
plsts wa3 an orange filed with lemonade
and two straws tied wi b fancy ribbons.
In light refreshmant few things are
nicer than mayonnaise sandwich, and if
the msyonuaise is stiffsned with little
gelatine so much the better. Chopped
mustard and cress, with q little mayor
naiss spread on brown bread and butter,
with an anchovy on that and mora bread
and butter on top, and the whole pressed
firmly down and cut into 'tingers" is
something intensely appstizing. Sand
witches should always be put between
plates and the plates wrappsd in towel
to keep fresh.
With the disappearance CT The hustle an
important tendency in women's dress this
sss son will be to do away altogether with
the "fulp' ard "bouffant" character o.,
drapery. Skirts, while not absolutely
"skimpy" or of the pull. back order, will
bs narrow. Ciipging is the word. Every.
thing this season is going to clog is
the way the ladies describe it.
Girls. the cad of lssp year il sppros ch-
iug rapidly, and tea for fouc long
years your opportunities to ''pop the
question" will be buried. The Pit b1rg
giris are occupying the time by giving
series of leap year prties and the youug
men are having lots of attention and fun.
A pleasant purity assembled at the rooms
of the Wheeling Club last Monday even
iug, and danced until midnight 10 Pfof
Charlie Killmeyer's mrs'c. The evening
wss q pleas. NJ one, ard all erj,yed it
thoroughly. Prof. Killmeyer will again
officiste tomorrow night, and there should
te big turnout.
On Tuesday evening last Prof. John
Mullen rendered his dancing class and for
msr pupils q pleasant reception at Ger
mali Hall, that WAS thoroughly enjoyed
by all Prof Charlie Killmeyer made
the music.

Alphonsus church the marriage of Mr..
George F. Updegraff and Miss Carrie C
Whitlker, wan solemnizad at o'clock.
