Jack Frost has been the tutelary
deity Of Wheeling society during the
last week, but from present appear
ances. promises 20 relinQulsh MS grasp
somewhat. Wheelingites had De-
come so accustomed to a succession OF
omen winters, varied only by an occa-
eIopal cold wave, that they were IaSt
outgrowing the traditions OF their ear
Iier davs. when snow and frost and Ice
ruled the land, as they are now DOING
and eoasting and. skating had become
almost lost arts The present long-con-
tlpued arctic weather, therefore, has
been. especially 10 the younger element
IN society, in the nature OF a novelty,
and the opportunities, 1t has auoraeo
for f%pyieorating outdoor sports nave
been eagerly embraced and greatly en-
loved. We have now come TO the part
Of the wear when we can no longer put
of anything, except, perhaps, a WISH 70
our poor relations IN the ountfy "hlCn
may be safely left for the duties OF the
Lenten season; but 10 will not DO 70 ae-
Ter many other things. Our visiting
list is before us, and the old refrain Oh
ssAfter Christmas 1 will do so and s.,
and ,'go here and there can no more
be said. No, we must face the situa-
ton, and II we do not intend 10 give a
''tea" or an sat home" we must start
out and call on the "four hundred, or
else we care not TO t." A tea, how
ever. cancels our visiting obligations,
exceDt our party calls for dinners or
l-upcbeops. or when we wish TO specially
honor the stranger within our gates.
Some witty woman said lately
that ga tea was q great clearing
house for cards." and 10 Is an
unwritten law Of society that even II
we send only our small p~asteboard rep
r~esentative, the most exacting mas no
right to say that VIZ owe them a ylslt'
so this en- these busy days is decldedly
an advantage. Visiting on old time
methods has entirely gone out. Then
one called season after season, Win
painstaking regularity, and probably
never saw the person whose door oell
she so religiOusly rung. Now al
this is partly done away with. The
social function Of visiting is made
much Dleasanter, for at least we really
meet people and sometimes strike up an
agreeable intercourse which enables US
TO be quite s0ciable and chatty when
we meet ia July at the summer hotels.
