On Wednesday evening Mr.. John d.
Boyd, of Twenty-fourth street, OF the
clerical force of the Wheeling steel
plant, and Miss Fife Goodwin, OF Gov
ington, KY, formerly of this city, were
married by Rev. E. H. Dornblaser, pas
tor of the English Lutheran Church, at
his residence on South Broadway. Inc
wedding was a quiet one and witnessed
by a few friends of the contracting par

Do you know that the old-fashioned
game of croquet promised to be revived
here in Wheeling this season as form
liable rival of the more assertive and
exacting lawn tennis, now popular.
The tennis girl has been a piquant and
pleasing figure on the sward. She has
won the championship over the very
men that ridiculed the idea OF her play
ing because she was girl. She has ap-
propriated his shirt and ''galluseS," and
worn them with grace they never
knew before. She has disciplined her
self to heroically enjoy sunburn, fatigue,
straight bangs and peeled nose. But
she has discovered that it dosen't pay.
What possible satisfaction can there be
in a morning devoted to tennis with the
man you like separated from you by a
net? What possible recompense for get
ting tired, and hot and cross just to
hear some one say you play very well
for girl? Now the crcquet ground
possesses possibilities for little gallant
ries and the Interchange of sweet
confidence in the intervals OF the
game. 1t permits the wearing OF
dainty and attractive gowns, providing
they are not too long. The balls have
a.charming prediction for obscure cor
ners and out-of the way places, where
two people can be bissfnlly long time
in searching for them. The gracious
curves of woman's contour, the slender
ness of a pretty hand, and the arch OF a
shapely foot are never seen to such good
advantage as when pretty girl plants
her No. slipper on refractory ball to
croQuet rivals or assist friend. Be-
sides. one isn't spoiled for everything
but bath and hair curler with q
single game of croquet. Croquet is not
incompatible with fower-laden picture
hat, which is so much more becoming
than the sailor masculine or the yacht
ing cap. Croquet permits, too, the
shade of softly tinted parasol, beneath
which fair face grows fairer, and dark
eyes CLEAN with softened, dangerous
luster. Finally, a man plays tennis be-
cause he likes the game, He plays cro-
quet because he likes the girl. Hence
its superiority.
Thursday evening the Island Club
was quite handsomely entertained by
Mr.. Will Lash, at his home on South
Penn street. About fifteen couples
were present. A delightful evening
was spent in dancing to Killmyers
music. During the evening the Premier
Banjo Club rendered several pleasing
selections which were we'll received.
At an intermission in the dance pro-
gramme at midnight, refreshments were
served.
The Y. o. u. Club, of the South Side,
will go out to Glenn's run, tomorrow,
in wagons.
At the residence OF DR.. j. H. Pipes a

day evening, the contracting parties be-
ing Mr.. William A. Sargent, OF New
Cumberland, and Miss Ella jolly, of

the organ by Mrs. Ida White. Rev.
DR.. w. H. Cooke officiated. After the
ceremony a reception followed, and the
friends Of the happy couple rendered
CONGRATULATIONS. An elegant lunch was
afterward served by Ziegenfelder. Num-
erous and handsome presents testified
to the regard in which the young couple
was held by their friends. After the re-
ception Mr.. and Mrs. Sargent left on the
