nicely and has some harmony OF color.
An instance OF this kind came under
observation at an entertainment given
a few weeks ago. 1t was supposed to
have been full dress affair. One
OF the gentlemen present was gor-
geously and stunningly arrayed.
His Apollo-llke form was encased in
snUg-ftting dreSs-coat, the vest
was high cut and the pants Of a black
and white goods, while around his neck
was flaming red necktie; he wore low
cut patent feathers and white socks.
We Gods! what q combinatiOnl He had
taken especial pains to make himself
UNIQUELY attractive in the eyes OF the
fair sex, and he succeeded. Atthe same
entertainment was another young gen.
tleman. He, like the other, had at
tempted to appear attractive, and sue
ceeded. He wore nicely-ftting suit OF
dark goods, not expensive, but neat; his
linen was spotleSs, and for tie he wore
a neat white bow. 1t is one thing 10
possess the clothes and another is the
art to present them.
Miss Flora Bradshaw entertained a

on South Chapline street. A pleasant
evening was spent by all in a social
way.
On Tuesday night Misses Ella and

One OF the most notable dancing az
fairs OF the season was given by the
Mercantile Club, at Franzheim's Hall,
on Main street, last Thursday evening.
There were nearly thirty couples on the
floor and all were in full evening dress,
the ladies' looking especially attractive,
being arrayed, many of them, In toilets
especially made for the occasion. No
finer arrayed asSem0lage of dancers has
been seen this season. Music was fur
nished bv the Opera House Orchestra.
Among the strangers present were Mrs.
I. Sulzbacker, Miss May and Miss Mum
ker, Of Steubeuyille, who are visiting
Mr.. Sol KrauS'S family, and Mrs. Cans,
of Baltimore, who is on q visit to her
father, Mr.. Victor Rosenberg. Mr.
Charles Beekman efficiently acted as
master of ceremonies. AT midnight all
repaired in carriages to the "Milwau-
kee," where an elaborate lunch was
served, all pronouncing II one OF tho
best prepared banqGets enjoyed in Il
long while. On the whole the Mercan-
tile Club distinguished itself, as usual

It's surprising fact that the bride
is almost always the one to bear the
trials and embarrassment OF the we'd
ding ceremony with the most fortitude
and sangfroid, despite the fact that she
invariably is the focGs for every eye. A
shy. modest-lOOking little creature,
robed in white. will stand perfectly
erect. looking the minister calmly In
the eve, without for an instant losing
her self-pOiSe, while the big, blunt,
six-looter of bridegroom by her SIDE IS
pale and nervous aud trembling. The
bride very seldom makes any mistake,
either at the ceremony or at the stu
more trying reception afterwards, while
the man is almost always sure 10 put
both feet in it, and then founder about
in despair, until his better half
comes to his rescue and gives
him the first chance to appreciate the
advantages Of having some one 10 take
care OF him. During the ceremony the
chances for the groom 10 make mistakes
are not many. The most common one
is for him TO get names mixed up. Alta
recent wedding a much ratified young
man, when asked il he took the young
woman to be his welded wife, started
uonulusSed at the minister for fully five
seconds, then asked blankly: Beg par
don, were you speaking to me?' Still
another, when handed the ring, instead
OF passing ii along, began neryously
trying to put it on his own finger, and
was aroused by sharp little pinch.
But most of the small contretemps in
cident to a wedding can De successfully
hidden from the knowledge Of the
guests, and it is not until the bride
groom is let loose at the wedding recep-
ton that the bride really begins to get
fdgety for fear he will do something
dreadful" fear which is often real

The Spinster Club, be it known, has
formed quite an active section OF So
ciety this season. This social organiza-
ton meets officially every Wednesday
afternoonpat respective homes, not so
much TO note the growth of crops in the
or to discuss diplomatic
problems, but rather TO lend their
heads and hands TO charity, and also
for intellectual Improvement. One OF
the literary methods is to have one OF
the young ladies read a few chapters OF
