OF her standing social Indebtedness,
and If she entertains az all, does so BE-
cause she enjoys IL.
Something must be provided, how
ever, TO maintain an interest among the
devotees, and that happy something
has been found In the fetes at the Park,
and the driving and yachting parties
which have been more numerous than
ever during the week.
The prevailing form OF entertain
meut during this warm weather when
everyone can arrange summer outing
IS 10 full enjoyment OF it, Is the lawn
fete, sometimes OF churches, but ire
ouently also Of private nature by a
hostess who has remained behind the
crowds ci society people at the seashore
or mountains, and finds some SORT oil
entertainment necessary. 10 is form
OF social intercourse which might be
made the most delightful on the list,
but which from lack OF management
frequently Is so stiff and unsatisfactory
az 20 be a bore TO hostess and guests,
SAYS an exchange. Music is always the
prime feature OF an entertainment
where it Is given, and even q cheap
hand Is better than none. A short play
might be- given with good effect, and
there are other ways Of varying the
rather mOnotCnOus programme which
would add 20 the pleasure OF the anair
and doubtless 20 the returns also. IL
would be an Improvement on the booth
method Of serving refreshments to have
enchanted circles" surrounded With
ribbons or lights, inside which the at
tendantS. rObed in ianciful costumes OF
falrlCG or anything else desired, could
serve the guests from tables covered
with moss 10 represent the grassy
mounds from which the ethereal beings
are supposed 20 regale their dainty
appetltes. There are innumerable ways
40 which to render an affair OF the
kind unusually attractive, and IL only
REQUIRES manager Of tact and ability
TO carry such an idea through With
success. A dance OF fairies would be q
charming featrue OF such an entertain
ment, and could be arranged with lit
tie practice, training the children and
dressing them as fairies with gauzy
wings. The conventional seats, brothS
and gypsy tent, though sometimes very
rretty, are growing old, aud anything
new is always eagerly welcomed by the
entertainers, who devote time and At
tention 20 the needs OF charity, aud
must contend with 90 much 20 attain the
success wished for and certainly de-
served.
A social organization which embraces
IN it's membership a number Of the
most beautiful aud accomplished young
ladies' in Wheeling society, Is the Spin
ster Club. The accompanying cut is
from a negative furnished by O'Neilps
studio. The "Spinsters" are
Misses Matte Caldwell, Mamie
Patterson, Mary Brockunler, Bees
sic Lamb, Jessie Turner, Jessie
Berger, Flora Wilson and Nancy Fisher
all young ladies' who are deservedly
popular, not less FOR their grace OF per-
son and accomplishments than for the
delightful manner ia which they enter
tain, both individually and as a club.

The most notable event Of the week,
certainly one Of the most pleasura0le,
was the dancing party given at the
Park Wednesday evening. A fashion
..ble party Of about sixty society people
went out on the S o'clock motor and
spent q few hours in terpsichorean
pleasures, the opera House orchestra
furnishing the enhancing music TO
which the dancers glided over the waxen
surface Of the pavilion. At midnight an
excellent luncheon was merrily dis
cussed In the Park cafe.
The details OF tho affair were all hap
PLY carried out, and much Of the credit
Is due Messers. Morgan Miller and La
tame MeLain, who managed t. Among
the visitors present were the MesSrs.
Babcock, OF Cleveland, who are the
guests Of the Misses List, on North
Main street, and Miss McIlwaine, OF
New York, who is a guest Of the family
of Gen. Alfred Caldwell.
One OF the most elaborate society
events Of the summer season will be the
