The appearance of Booth and Mod
ieska at the Opera House, last WedneS-
dav evening, was a notable event in
Wheeling social circles, and the audi
ence present on that occasion was IN
deed a brilliant and we'll dressed one,
many ladies and gentlemen appearing in
full evening dress. 1t was a better OPP
portunity than Easter Sunday at church
to see new and handsome headgear and
the rather lengthy intervals between
acts gave the ladies lots of opportunity
To observe each others bonnetS, many of
which had not been aired since Easter
Sunday. The costumes wore by Nine.
Modieska were superb and were much
admired by the ladies, although the
STYLE of that day was little heavy COM
pared with that Of the present.
-
But they were less admired to be
sure than some of the gentlemen in the
east. especially Grationo and Lorenzo,
who were fine looking specimens of
manhood. Some of the young gentle
men in the audience had real cause To
envy these young gentlemen the words
of admiration they elected from the lips
of the fair sex present. They also envied
Lorenzo in the last act, in the touching
love scene between himself and JesSica,
and doubtless some of the young ladies
i'm the audience were apprised of some
points in love making which they never
before had the slightest conception of.

Bowling will be in great favor among
society people this year, and already
numerous ''ten-pin" parties are talked
of for the near future. A number of
young society folks went out TO Wheel
ing Park Friday evening and spent
very pleasant time at the fascinating
game. When the new schedule on the
line through 10 Elm Grove is arranged,
the last motor coming in will be later,
so that parties will be given more time
TO indulge in the inyigorating paStime.
