1t was 4 particularly gay holiday
reason 10 Wheeling, the round Of gay
eHes so recently passed. So unique
and brilliant have been the functions
that the people who went 10 them will
remember the hours as q chain Of roses
caught on the garments OF winter.
Those who stand on the social watch
towers tell Us that this is only the pre-
lude TO further gayety. II the last
week Of the old year is a pOrJeut the
new year will be rlch In feSJiyity, and
the strangers who are coming like an
army moving with banners will be amply
entertained. There is an air OF festiyity
that centres about the new year, when
everyone starts out full OF new purpose
and new desire that marks no other day
Of the calendar. "NeW Years, the very
name suggests jOility.
There has been q sort OF relapse in
Eaiety in the past week, in fact notice
ABLY quiet compared with the week
previous. 1t may be that the girls are
busy thinking of 10. You know It's
leap year. aud some Of the fair ones are
possibly eEgrossed ia scanning the hOr-
izon for elig,oles. There are quite .
number OF sweet, eligible young men in
Wheeling, and IL behOOves the fair ones

\ still hunt by the lighG Of the moon.

Christmas Day and New Years Day
should never be allowed 20 come the lat
ter part Of the week, or the early part
OF il. either The middle Of the week
IS best. Wednesday is just right.
Tuesday and Thursday are next in favor.
When the tlme-hOnOred 25th falls on
Sunday, wide aud varied are the opinions
about it. The peOple-and there are
such-who object to holidays are de-
lighted, but poor mOrtals who long for
a rest or trip wish their hardest that
Christmas would come some other day.

How many people know why the we'd
ding ring is worn upon the fourth finger
OF the left hand? Well, this is the real
reason. The fourth finger of the left
hand was chosen By the Egyptians be-
cause that finger was believed TO be d.
rectly connected by slender nerve to
the heart itself. The ancient worship
ers of Isis held this finger sacred TO
Apollo and the sun, and therefore gold
was chosen as the material for the ring.
