The summer season Is commencing to
be over, and the resorts are beginning
to give US back our society people. 1t
will be too cool for lawn parties and
too early for home functions during the
next few weeks. This is a season Of
neutrality-suspicious. for the festiv-
tiles OF winter, preparation OF costumes,
preparation of invitation lists, and the
thousand and one things connected with
the art Of entertaining. twill be prob
ably later than usual when society set
ties down to the round of entertain
ments which is TO make the coming win
ter notable one ia Wheeling, owing 70
the expected travel toward the Worlds
Fair In September and October.
The past week has been q gay one for
the season. The one or TWO elaborate
events have been delightful, and there
have been a score OF pretty and pleas
urabie sOirees and receptions. The COM
ing week promises 10 be more lively
than its predecessor, and society Is dis
cussing several prospective weddings.
Decidedly the most elaborate event Of
the week was the summer nights festl-
val at the Park, Thursday evening,
given by the Opera House orchestra.
The wise provision that only those hold
ing invitations would be admitted 20
the grounds, and the judiciOus placing
of the invitations, served 20 attract a
congenlal assembiage which comfort
ably occupied all the available space IN
the enclosure. The atmosphere was too
cool for outdoor festivities, out this
fact was more than Offset by the reputa-
ton which Wheeling'S foremost must
col organization enjoys for hospitality,
and about six hundred people attended.
The beautiful garden, with It's wealth
OF fragrant flowers and charming envi-
ronments, never looked more attractive
than under the soft light dffuSed by the
myriads Of Chinese lanterns which were
strung between the trees and suspended
from every possible point. The fash
ionable throng and the sounds OF merri-
ment lent an additional charm to the
picture Of animation and beauty.
The orchestra, under the skilled lead
ership OF Prof. E. w. Spell, rendered a
concert programme during the early
y, sning from a stand in the center OF
.othe enclosure. Each number was a,veri-
table artistic gem, and was literally APP
plauded by the appreciative listeners.
The pyrotechniC display, under the
management OF DR.. Edmund Booking,
was very creditable.
The concert programme was finished
about eleven o'clock, and the throng OF
people then marched TO the dancing
pavilion where an hour was delightful
ly spent In dancing. The last motor
returned to the city after midnight.
Tne affair was under the management
OF the Music Committee Of the organiza-
tion. composed Of Anton Reyman, (.
w. Spell. Louis Feinler, Louis Huse-
man and Il. B. Grimm.

Fortunate indeed are those who,
when they return from their summer
trip. do not have 10 come back TO their
eitv home, but have, instead, some
lovely country place in which they can
sDend the next two months, says an ex-
change. For now suburban life is in
ali its glory, and even the early June
DAYS are not more attractive than Sep
tember and October spent in some rural
retreat. Never before have We so APP
preciated aud loved outdoor pleasures
"a we do now. Even the most Ameri-
can among us IS becoming English In
his devotion 20 his country home. which
really. I'm many families, has taken the
Mace OF the city residence. Those who
can only have one dwelling often pre-
for that 10 shall be out Of town, know
inp fnU we'll that il is an easy matter
10 rent a furnished house or fiat for the
winter months, and then go in the
early spring TO their pretty cottage or
more substantial house 10 some neigh
borhood now made easy Of access by
the motors or electric cars.
All white is q FAD that commends
itself to the artistic and beauty-loving
woman. for it Is becoming 10 old and
vonpg. and never Otfends the eye or the
taste as so many OF the brighter tones
are apt 10 do. At Newport 1t is really
astonishing 10 see the number OF white
costumes worn at every function. In
the morning at the Casino one sees
white duck gowns with white sailor
hats and white canvas shoes. For
dressv affairs there are white muslin
and silks with white chip hats,
trimmed with nOdding tips and white
,-rorettes, while the shoes in this Instance
are OF white kid. Lace in prOtusiOn Is
EMPLOYED on the light summer fabrics,
vet the lace must be Of the best in or
der 10 win favor from those who set the
mace in the matter of fashions. 1t Is
mite a fad 10 trim a dead white cos
tune with cOffee-colored lace, snd the
effect Is far more pleasing than the
combination sounds in words.
The German Pioneers gave their an
mail outing st, the Park Wednesday
afterpoon. Like wine these affairs
grow better each year Owing to the
sbsence of many members from the city,
the reunion was not as large as upon
former occasions, but IL was no less a
sonrce of pleasure TO those who were
present. The Opera House orchestra
was present and rendered concert add
0romepade music during the afternoon,
Rom the summit OF the mound. The
addresses were. brief but pointed. The
soea kers were the President OF the or
rsnization, Mr.. Aug. Widebusch, Sr.,
Or. G. f. Ulrich, Mr.. Fred Meyer and
er-Mayor Charles w. Sesoright.
