November ections-Ohit ChSt About

''Rain, Rain, Beautiful Rain" Who
has not enjoyed the delightful comforts OF
home these past gloomy days? Such days
make one feel that she must make home
more attractive for Tired father and brother,
and when we hear their welcome steps at
the close of day and see their often care
worn faces Tighten as they note the warmth
and brightness within, while eager hands
put overcoats and hats away, and draw
chairs to the cosy fire for our loved ones,
we feel ten thousand times repaid. l am
sure there is no pleasure like making
others happy, and kind word or smile
will always help. These typical Novem-
Der days afford us every opportunity for
making home CHEEKY. The autumn has
vanished. Only in memory can we recall
the dreamy days, the horseback rides, the
drives, the long rambles amid the rustling
leaves, the signing trees and waving dead
grasses. Even the little brook mosned
aloud. All seemed sOrrowful that Jack
Frost was so near. Yes, the balmy days
that make one forRetful of all save the de-
licious atmosphere and the cool winds fan
ing the cheek, are dead. But they will
come again in another autumtide and will
mark peTchance new life to some one. We
may not be here, but they will come and 90
forever. Now we are looking forward to
snow and skating, and the bracipg winter
DAYS that Thanksgiving should bring,
when we never tire of our brisk, health
giving walks in the frosty air. Thanks
giving will be passed in almost every
possible way. Dancing and cards will
will not be entirely forgotten, but there
will be many real old fashioned SIX
o'clock dinners, and what could be more
enjoyable than this?
There has besn g decided lull in society
circles the past weak, and what has become
of the bonny November brides? Bat then
the DAYS are so dark and dreary, 1t is no
wonder they do not select this month for
celebrating such happy events. a Yer
mont paper says "a young lady of
Wheeling, w. Va, has refused forty offers
of marriage the past year" We wonder
who she is? How cruel to break forty
hearts. Would she think us impairment
if we asked her to come out in card in
the next issue of the REGISTER? Jack is
always in a stew to know what the plans
are for next week and rext week. |
don't see why he can't content
himself for one evening at least,
with book. We might all devote one
evening a week 10 literary matters, and be
better versed on the topics of the day,
many of us would be spared uncomfortable
situations as for instance, when we meet
our intellectual friends, for we should all
cultivate them, and be entirely at sea as to
the drift of the conversation.
Pretty little painted souvenirs are now
presented 10 the guests Of the fashionable
entertainer, aud are often quite original in
design. At recent stag party, where it is
supposed the chief conversation was
"horse,n the souvenir were cards about
3x5 in. with some feature Of horse painted
in the left hand corner, and the gentleman's
name it was given 10 diagoDally across the
card. They were novel and quite original
The stores are beginning to put on their
holiday appearance, and one of our pCpu-
lar Main street millineIs will soon have a
real New York store, where one goes in for
a yard of ribbon snd is quite as likely TO
come out with some dainty bric-a brsc or
feather dust brush, just IS the eye fancies.
People are always finding fault with our
little city, and it ia often the subject of
sarcastic remarks Bat Wheeling is stRid
and solid. iLook around, some of you
grumblers, and see how many of Wheel
ing's sons and daughters return to their
native town after feWlYears struggle with
the wild west. There is no doubt that
good substantial old Wheeling is imprOv-
ing in every way. Slowly, tits true, but
surely. So let the good work go on.
