we spent in the East, and do you know,
they saw one must not have doors at all,
that is. indoors, and only portieres are the
proper thing, aud think it good IDEA,

could never decide what one really wants.
There is great variety in silk and wool
and in silk and velvet intermingled, and

know that the handsome black silks,
which have been so slighted the past

enjoyed it Immensely, but got perfectly
confused, for il was the frs. time I'd ever
helped to show off Wheeling's wonderful
places, and it was so hot, and 1t kept me
busy to keep from stepping on hot things,
or catching on whirliDg things; but
it was nice, and we are going again
ard study the philosophy of it, for think
girls ought TO know such things, indeed.
After long years of stiff, scratchy high
collars, we girls may now
SHOW OUR THRoATs,
and why not? Jack says it is great deal
prettier and Jack knows. OF course we
will not discard the collar on our street
gowns, for what would one of our lovely
tailor gowns look like without collar?
No, it is when we are home these cnalm-
ing autumn evenings that we will wear
our low-cut bodices and dainty frills and
laces, Just as grandma did long years ago
And as 10 the busile-we have really

Although we girls do not know the

we certainly are grateful to Dame Fashion
for shielding us from the monster.
The
ACCORDIAN PLAITs AND DIRECToIRE
CAPEs
that nearly lost their life in New York a
year ago, have slowly and gracefully
glided into Wheeling TO take firm hold of
the ever eager fashionable maiden, and are
frequently seen out for an afternoon jaunt.
The weddings have been 20 many this
month that really wonder if there will
be any
SINGLE GIBLs LEFT IN OLD WHEELING
at the close Of The season. The brides
were ali lovely, for if they have been noted
for their homliness all their life, the &C
commodsting news gatherer transforms
them into beautiful beings on their bridal
day. But the never changing groom al
ways wears the conventional black. "
What feeling OF comfort one might ex'
perience if she could only read of we'd
ding where the reporters dressed the
groom in something aside from the con
yentional black" Now they might re-
vive the grand old fashions of our grand
fathers and once more be seen in the knee
breeches, frilled shirts and bright shining
buckles. l am sure the brides in their
Empire and Princess gowns are returning
to old court dress, and truly as history re-
peats itself, we may look forward TO this
dress reform.
One might imsQine that all the grooms'
elect were put through some sort Of g
process and turned out in the "conven'
tionsl black Dor.
