society people have been busily occupied
1psst week purchasing Christmas pres
ats Tor relatives aod friends. and as any
one Knows. who has much of this sort of
thing TO do, it occupies a great deal Of
tine aud attention. Todecide on suitable
presents is undoubtedly the most taxing
ta.agon ones mind aud ingenuity that can
bsinagined, except perhaps that Of securing
Che money 20 make the purchases. And
strange 20 say that feature Of Christmas
gift purchasing causes about as much
complaint among the rich as 10 does
smong the poor.
Well. as remarked, this dittiDg around
from store and buying piece here and a
knick-knack there, like bees fitting from

occupied Society attention that there has
not been much time TO think Of entertain

transpired the past week has been OF
rather que, nature.

Vow, what do you think Of that for a
Wheeling Young man. To certainly must
mean a wedding in the not distant future.
OF course the young men IN this city
who can purchase such handsome presents
without bankrupdng themselves are very
few. and the majority of them have 70

dollars, or something ike that. I have
reason To- know that "a number Of young

expensive Christmas gift this year. I was
