Last night the members Of the Cotil
lion Club enjoyed an outing Ia the ma
turs OF "a street-car party which is
something comparatively new. To say
the least, the affair proved delightful
success. A special car WAS chartered
TO carry the congenial party over the
Wheeling Electric Railway Company's
lines. The young people boarded the
car at Tenth street, riding TO the North
End and thence around the loop TO
Fourteenth street. Alighting here
they repaired 10 the residence OF
Miss Bessie Rice, and spent the
remainder Of the evening enjoy
ing the hospitality OF the young
hostess. The refreshments included
the proverbal "Cold as ice and sweet
as sugar" watermelons, and 1t is unnec-
essGry TO say that all did ample justice
10 this portion OF the programme.
Those present were: Misses Bessie
Rice, Mamie Grub, Sue Caldwell,
Eleanor Wright, Bessie List, Elizabeth
Mendel, Sue Wright, Holly Patterson,
Bessie Booth, Helen Caldwell, Maude
