Into the short period between Christ
As and the day which marks the ad-
snt OF the new year, are usually
crowded many pleasura0le social gath
Rrings, but seldom has Wheeling society
ks.pessed so many interesting affairs
I've made notable the last few days
.of nlnety-thres' The gay season was
At its height during Christmas week,
and every coterie Of society people was
Entertained at one or another Of the
fashionable events, which came in such
Numbers that many were compelled to
choose among several invitations. The
social horoscope reveals great many
enjoyable Affairs during the few weeks
intervening between New Years and
the period Of sack-clOth and ashes.
The clubs have outlined entertain
nents, which ia q numerical sense, at
least, are sufficient 10 remove all fear
Of dullness.
This is a day which is generally de-
voted not only 20 retrospectiOn, pleas
ant diversion which recalls many de-
lightful memories Of the year Tut as
well OF prOspectiOn-the effort 10 pierce
the veil which hides what the future
has in promise for us. Looking back
ware, the deyotee finds a continuous
line OF entertainments during the three
hundred and sixty-fve days, not even
broken during the period OF business
depression aud industrial inactivity.
There is little In The picture thus re-
yealad TO the mind 10 cause any regret
Nor is a glance in the opposite direc-
tion apt to be disappointing. Never
hasa more active interest been taken
ia social affairs than during the present
season. The winter months, as well as
the heated term, are rich In promise OF
wholesome enjoyment.

Keeping open house on New Years is
q custom which promises TO be more
hcnored Ia tbe breach than in the OBJ
servance, IN Wheeling society to-mor-
row. Nevertheless, the exceptions VIII
provide entertainment for the gentle
men with whom formal calls are an es-
ssntlal part of their social obligations
for the first day Of the year. Several
clubs will DO open to their friends all
day, among them the Press Club, which
will handsomely decorate its coy quar-
ters, over Wheat 81 Hanchcr's, and en-
terrain Hospitality. The annual New
Years reception will also take place at
the Y. NJ. C. A.
In its annual reception Thursday
evening, the Fort Henry Club made
pleasing departure from its previous
custom, in providing for dancing as u
feature Of the evenings entertainments
This was made possible by recent
changes Ia the interior arrangement Of
the club house. The coy quarters
never presented q more attractive ap-
pearance, with the rooms and spacious
Railways embellishe1 with prOfusion
Of DOtted plants, aud holly and ever
greens enJwined about the chandeliers
and gracefully festooned upon the
walls. Behind row OF waving
palms and tall acacias, the
Opera House Orchestra was stationed,
and its tuueiGl melody filed the entire
building. The presence Of fashion
able throng. numbering one hundred
and fifty people, gave TO the scene a be-
wildering effect OF beauty and ANNA
tlOn. The dining rooms were converted
into large dancing ball, and . pro-
gramme OF twenty numbers was most
pleasantly followed. Al midnight
luncheon was served.
