tsrsst. This might be followed by an in
SiVidual contest for the championship OF
he State bsfoFe the season is over. Tennis
he's superseded all other outdoor amuse-
ments and it will hold and increase Its Pop
ulsrity.
It is becoming quite popular to go out to
Mt. Belleview or Stamm's in the evening,
partake of supper, and then enjoy the re-
maindsr of the evening either in the tennis
courts OF in the bowling alleys. Several
parties have carried out this programme
the past week.
Did you ever notice that the girls who
talk most about their intention to become
old maids ere generally the ones who get
married as soon as the right man comes
along? Then there are girls who begin to
feel like old maids before they are out OF
their teens, and they often fool
ishly Jump at the first chance
offered them, and in many cases get badly
left. Bot we couldn't do without some
old maids, for there are many who I'M
douhtedly make better members of society
than they would had they been married.
The two sisters in Jackson county who
killed themselves because they had come
to the conclusion that there YVES nothing
in life for old maids, were probably the
kind who would have married had the
chance been offered, and this fact soured
them on life. Their action will OF course
have 10 effect on those girls who contem-
plate old mai6ship and look upon it as q
much more desirable state than that of a
matron, with all her cares and response
bilities.

The Progressive Euchre Club of the

Society in Wheeling is a scarce article,
on account of the warm weather and the
fact that many society people have gone
away to spend the warm months. All
the people who don't want to or cannot
afford to visit a regulation summer water
ing place now put on their thinking caps
and industriOusly fish up from the depths
Of oblivion any time-worn friendship or
back-edition kinship to serve as an excuse
for inAicting their company on any such
who happen to live in some secluded rural
district.
The rural friends are really patient and
long suffering. They hardly ever protest
unless the city denizan brings a whole
troop Of friends along and eats up the
wears profits from a farm in the rlotOus
living of a few summer weeks. One or two
city people for a few weeks give an air Of
distinction 70 country family Tie city
visitor is sure to have some new styles in
gowns the latest bang, the dsintiest Ok
ford tie, the most aesthetic gloves
that have been seen. These can be
copied first hand by the daugb-
ters of the household, and serve
10 slorify them after the brief summer va
cation is over. Then all the city gossip
and tales of strange customs there serve to
stir tbs village gossips anew and give the
family who started the ideas sort Of So
ciaI pre-eminence not to be despised. So
the law of compensation holds good even
with the city visitor, although it is safe to
say that the city people won't recognize it
when the country cousins come to stay
through Fair time, and TRANQUILITY spend
several weeks viewing the wonders of the
