monially inclined has dreaded the bill he
must pay for supper to his ushers, pres

familiss who has to foot the bills pertain

10 have the extravaganza Of the ceremony
red uced to minimum. With bridesmaids
and ushers eliminated, fashionable we'd

Love making in the Northwest doesn't
seem to possess the advantages 1t does ID
the East, but whether that is the reason
80 many of our young men have returned
from that part of the country during the
past few years is not known. A new
notion has seized a number OF Minnesota
women. They want law to compel
man to announce his intentions within
four weeks after paying his first visit to a
girl. In the opinion of the Baltimore
american, it goes without saying that the
men will resist such measure to the bit
ter end. 1t would break up their fun and
make every wearer OF trousers as afraid
of the parlor as of the family watch dog,
Aud yet the idea has certain justice. In
Minnesota there are more women than men
and when they want to get married they
cannot afford to have their time wasted BY
triaers. They have no love for tagging
courtships that go on and never lead to the
altar. 1t all goes to show that the WOOL
West il = strictly business region, and IN
love affairs it must be either breach OF
promise, marriage or divorce. Here in the
effste East we will continue to worry along
under the old customs, and, as usual, the
gas and coal bills will be paid by the
young lsdy's papa.
Can it be that Marion Howard refers to
any of our bachelors. when she says that
1.-The real bugbesr to everybody in partic-
ular and society in general is the Old
Bachelor who is allowed to pass with
scarcely a word OF reproach or blame. The
harshest term that has been found for him
is 'crusty,' but that does not begin to ex-
press the sourness of his disposition or the
crookedness of his temper. In the first
place he is supremely selfish; his own COM
fort is the first consideration-the highest
ambition of his life. The only tender SEN
timent of his heart, if he has any, is love
for self. He never could experience feel
ing of affection for anyone else, and beholds
the domestic happiness Of his married
friends with an expression of pity mingled
with surprise at what he considers the folly
of such people Pr
The yery latest feminine dress wrinkle
since thu hustle has been discarded is to
have a little fullness in the back drapery
caught in by buckle or button on each
side of the waist. Only an excellent fig
ure can stand it.
Plaids and stripes are to be worn by
fashionable women this autumn for the
street, and velvet ia coming in for the even
ing wear, though few ladies under 80 will
wear it.
The rainy weather of Friday and yester-
day spoiled the lawn tennis tournament
that was to have taken place on those
two days, and the event was postponed
until Monday and Tuesday. 1t is to be
sincerely hoped that the weather will clear
up sufficiently to allow the tournament to
come off About twenty-five young people
will take part in the affair, which will oc-
cur at Echo Point court, and the prizes for
the winners will be very handsome. The
tennis championship for men this year,
goes to Brooklyn, with the victory of H..
W. Slocum, Jr., but Philadelphia has the
champion lady tennis-player of the coun-
try in Miss Townsend, who has beaten
every antagonist in single games.
The Jewish New Year, which began on
Wednesday night, was generally celebrated
Thursday in the synagogues and in the
homes of the many Hebrews who keep mp
the old faith and customs. II is customs-
~ in many Jewish families TO have fami-
ly reunion at this time, and in many in
stances three and even four living genera
tions were represented at single table.
Relatives also come great distances in order
to be present at the reunions under the
roof Of the patriarch of the family, whOev-
er il may he. Sometimes betrothals take
place on these occasions between distant
relatives or representatives of friendly
families.
There will be music in The Wheeling
Club rooms, Monday night, and all the
members are requested to be present, as an
enjoyable time is insured.
noticed the seal on the back of letter
received by certain young gentleman the
other day from q lady in the East, and
WHEEL We examined it closely found that
instead of using the usual seal wax she had
used q piece OF chewing gum. 1t served
the purpose very well and was q novel
idea, and them some young men may be
able to discover q touch of sentiment in
the use of chewing gum for o seal. II
doesn't promise to become Q fad, however,
which Is fortunate.
