answered she, none too cordially.
have some ice cream ?" queried be.
well, would you like to walk ont and
az never eat ice cream, sir, - she said.
perhaps you would enjoy a little prom
ensde ?"
Excuse me, but I do not care to prom
enade, was the answer.
This sort Of "broke the young man all
up, " as the boys say, and he said rather
forcibly:
well, madam, if there is anything you
do do, please let me know, and I'll be con-
demned if we won't do it.n 1t may be
unnecessary TO say that this speech ended
sll further negotiations.

There we're six of them in the party;
three bright, beautiful, buxOm young
ladies, a young lawyer, theological stu
dent and a dudish young fellow who clerks
in a Main street dry goods store. They
were standing on McLain's corner waiting
for a car which in slight degree possessed
some of the peculiarities of 1.-THE letter that
never came.
They had been discussing some of those
horrible breaches of the established rules
of propristy which are constantly occur
ring. The preacher in embryo told Of a
man that was divorced one day and mar
RED the next to sweetheart of his boy
hood days. The lawyer told ofa preacher
stopping to read the REGISTERS bulletin
Of the late prize fight, and the girls COM
mented upon the fact that some of their &C
quaintances are better versed in puglilsm
aud Sallivsn's methods Of training than
they are in matters pertaining TO their Sab
hath schools classes. All these things had
beep discussed, still the car came not. i.
was now the dudes turn. He elevated his
eyebrows, pulled up the sleeves OF his
flannel blPzsr, and asked in the most pro-
found way. What do you think of man
who could bury sweet, bright infant IN
the morning, aud attend ball game IN the
afternOon2'
Il think he is a brutal WRETCH" said
young lady No. l.
He's a,monster, " said y. L. No. ,.
"There are some such men," said Y. L..
No. 5.
81 am sure ne has not the proper con-
] ception of his connection with the child,
and that ne does not appreciate the require
ments Of our civilization" said the
preacher.
well. I don't know" chimed in the
} LAWYER, who had learned in school TO al
ways find room for an argument, Maybe
he did it simply to drive from his mind
the dreadfully morbid feeling which came
- with the loss of the child"
t well. I don't think it right, anyway"
put in the first young lady, and at almost
the same instant the preachers curiosity
GOT the better of him and he mildly asked
Who Is the man who is capable Of such rep
, rehensble conduct"
''The Main street undertaken" answered
the dude in the blazer.

The garden party and fets given by the
Ladies Hebrew Benevolent Society,
Wednesday evening, was very delightful
] affair, and Mrs. Morris HOrkheimer, as
p President of the organization, deserves,
and has received, much praise for the sue
cessful manner in which the event was
- conducted. Mrs Horkheimer was ably
= seconded in her efforts by a committee OF
= ladies. smOng whom Mrs ID. Gambling,
Mrs. Hsnauer, Mrs. Kraus, Mrs. Speyer,
Mrs. Baer, and others were conspicuous.
2 The Opera House orchestra furnished the
! music.

The hop given by The Wheeling Club at
the Park Friday evening was a most de-
Eghtful affair and large number of mem
bers and their lady friends went out and
erioyed the pleasures Of the occasion.
Dancing 10 the Opera House orchestra
music was the principal amusement, and
Of course promenading along the beautiful
walks, with charming te!e tetes in shady
bowers were all enjoyable features which
were taken advantage OF. Refreshments
and bowling also assisted in making the
evening one of the pleasantest imaginable,
and ali hope for a repetition of the affair.

Since the Wheeling young man has
fallen in with the general tendency Of
ways and donne6 the tennis blazer, some
rather startling combinations of colOTs
have burst upon Us. But still the local
tsste has been pretty uniformly good, or
rather as good as the combinations on sale
will allow, and one must journey to other
towns to see something nearly calculated
to produce a dizzy effect. Some of the
combinations of hannels, copiously be-
spattered with gilt stars, or inscribed with
two inch stripes, one reads about in the
society Journals, must be trying 10 persons
with an inherent tendency TO heart disease.
Ii is said, however, the most sensitive or
carnations soon become hardened to these
atrocities OF costume, and the more
noticeable effects are easily forgiven and
forgotten in the general kaleidoscope
effulgence of modern summer attire.

News comes through undoubted social
channels that the banjo mania is going to
be the rage with more than its old time
violence very shortly, and the prediction
is made that in six months all the young
men in the town will have case-hsrdened
fingers through constant stunning.

} The very latest thing in the rural dis
tricts which make speciality Of summer
boarders are amateur harvesting parties,
in which the young people from the city,
who are deluding themselves they are en-
Toying life, are star performers. The
racket" was first worked by an unusually
mean agriculturist, as a means ofgettiDg
some work out OF his bOarders in addition
to the coin of the realm they ordinarily
handed over, and somehow or other the
thing took, and now it is all the rage In
certain sections Invitations to this sort
of thing are said to be gotten out with
Quill pen OF corn-colored paper, and the
envelopes instead OF being fashioned in
the civilized method, with wax or muci-
lage, are darned or skewered together with
a risp of straw or head Of wheat on Its
stock.
