But the time had arrived for him 70 go,
And he came 70 say good bye;
And he said: ERE we part will you give me a

A pin dropped into the social sphere,
this past week, could almost have been
heard, everything was so quiet, and yet
there were innumerable little informal
gatherings, too unpretentious maybe 10
receive even passing notice. by sea
and lake, on wooded shores and near
lofty mountains, is Wheeling society
distributed. Fully another month will
glide along before the abSenteeS will all
get back From Boston back TO Colorado.
Wheeling has sent her attractive mat
rons and charming girls, and gracefully
and we'll are they sustaining the social
laurels of the Pan Handle City.
The social doings here at this season
Of the year are few and upon inslg-
nificant scale. 1t is very hard for those
that do entertain to score up bakers
dozen Of either sex, and this Is about
all that is wanted. None OF those hav-
ing guests are conscious OF how unut-
terably dull social matters are. The
society columns of the daily papers are
taken I'D with the arrival and departure
Of people, the parties and entertain
ments chrOnicled being few and far
between.
The recent hot spell has detained
many Wheelingites from returning from
the various resorts and has given the
impetus 10 quite number in leaving
the city.
There are as yet but few arrivals
hack. There are many indications that
TIE season will be late and that great
many people will remain out OF town
during September. After this a gay
whirl is expected, as this season will
iud cutie a number OF young people at
home, i'm fact more than for several
years previous, and they are people
who entertain. Many pleasant whis-
perS of engagements and prospective
weddings reach town from the resorts,
and there will doubtless be many inter-
estlng doings as the autumn draws nigh
and people begin to come back.

On Wednesday afternoon at o'clock
the parlors of st. Joseph Cathedral was
the scene of a pretty wedding in which
the contracting parties were Mr.. James
H, Kennedy and Miss LYDIA Donovan.
The attendants were Mr.. John Hill and
Miss Annie Sarell Of Bellaire. The
Dried was attired in a costume OF tan
trimmed with oriental silver, with hat
and gloves TO match. Rev. Father Sui
livsn oficiated and after the ceremony
the happy party were driven, among
showers Of old shoes and rice, down TO
Bellaire, thence back to the home OF
the bride, where finely arranged feast
was partaken Of. There were many
guests present.
Society had little to do the past week
but think Of fall fashions and study
ways Of keeping cool. A man puts on
tan-colOred shoes and a summer suit,
wears straw hat, and no vest is obtru-
sive in his efforts to keep cool. He is
hot. and he says so. He fans himself
and says: "Oh. how hot it isl" and
puffs and pants and drinks all sorts OF
things. A wOman-well, it wouldn't do
to say what she puts on, but her clothes
are not always the loose, airy nothings
they seem TO be. There are whalebones
and canvas Innings to even cotton
frocks. But the woman doesn't fan
herself. She doesn't complain. She
eats ice cream-and, by the way, with
the number of iced drinks and creams
and other things one consumes in day,
IT'S wonder any of us live TO tell the
tale-and look cool. Straightway some
bodv tells her of il, and after that red
hot stove wouldn't make her uncomfort-
able. for to be told one looks cool Is the
ma nlus ultra of summer compliments.
The only real cooler is clear con-
science. or conscience so calloused
that worry is impossible. Still, Wlthal,
IL has been to do anything, and until the
clerk of the weather sends US cooler
breezes society will wear its wilted col
lars in the seclusiOn Of its home or sum-
mer resort. .
The Misses Genevieve Holiday, Ella
Chew and Elsie Gundling gave very
delightful lawn fete at the residence OF
Mr. Thomas. Burke on Chapline street
Friday evening for the benefit OF the
Hosnital Fund. which Melted $3.50. Inc
Nttle misses were busy as bees the
greater part OF the week getting things
In readiness for this their initial WORK
for. charity. Although started In
childish way. il grew to be quite an
undArtakinu for the little ones, whose
ages are respectively from nine 10
twelse Years. The lawn was decorated
IN oste handsome manner by hanging
Of Chinese lanterns. The taoleS were
filled with fancy articles and brought a
good urlce for a good cause. Ice cream
cakes and candies constituted the re-
fresbnents. The young ladies naturally
feel eIated over their success. More
than 1.ssIpg credit should be given
them for the businesS-like manner IN
which tIin0s were conducted. The funds
were PLACED In the hands OF rev. III
