Now that the approach of cold
Weather makes social pleasures of vari-
Gus sorts more enjoyable, clubs are
starting up like mushrooms all over
town Not to be behind their elders,
the young people are showing unwOnt-
ed interest in this line and the first
fruits Of sprouting ambition comes TO
light in a new club lately organized un-
der the name and style of the Wheel
ing Whist Club" This title is not, as
might at first thought be supposed,
taken from the battle-ship OF that
name, nor the city from which it de-
rived its cognomen, but is based on
the fact Of the club members being
all expert cyclers. The club meets ev-
cry Monday night at the homes OF
mem bers, and after the game Of whist,
which of course takes precedence. and
the results carefully noted on the score
cards, short programme Of music is
indulged in, after which refreshments
are served. Once q month an average
Is taken from the score cards and the
prizes awarded. The last meeting was
held on last Monday evening at the
residence of Miss Jessie Gorham. Fol
lowing are list of the members: Ethel
Backrath, Robert Backrath, Jessie
Beaton, Fred Beaton, Jessie Gorham,
George Gorham, Hazel Boyd, Fred
Bolts.
A reception was given last week by
Mrs. Charles Noyes to her cousin, Miss
Hazeltcn. who has been in Sacramento
for some two months past visiting her
aunt, Mrs George Stoddard, at ner
home ON Tenth and G streets. Miss
Hazeltcn comes from the East, and has
made many friends in Sacramento, par
ticularly among the young people of
the Congregational Church, of which
body her aunt is a member of Ions
standing. There were a large number
of young people present at the recep-
tion given in her honor and as no pains
had been spared by the hostess to make
the affair success a very enjoyable
time was spent by all present, and the
party did not disperse until after i
midnight.
An account of a party given by Miss
Hone Adams of Tulare, formerly Of Sac
Tamento, was particularly noticeable
on account of the absence of the host
ess' name among the list of guests. 1t
is often remarked that in the list OF
names given as attending festivities of
private character. more often than 9TH
ierwise the name of the host and hostess
heads the list. a gentleman was speak
ing of the very circumstance the other
day. when a lady gives an evening
reception" he remarked, ''it stands to
reason that she is present, as matter
of course. Now is it a mere piece of
fhoughtlessness or because people love
to see their names in print, when this
same lady, for instance is printed
among the list of guests at her own
entertainments" 1t was q question /
could not answer, and leave it to some
one who knows more about it than l..
But when I received the paper an
nouncing Miss Adams "at home,"
noticed that her name was conspicuous
by its absence, except as being the
hostess of the people whose names tol-
lowed the announcement, and 1 could
not help commenting on the good form
of a notice written in this way.
The Misses Alice and Helen Wein-
stock will be missed from among our
Young people this winter, particularly
so as both are very popular and have a
very large circle of friends and ac-
ouaintances. Both have entered a I'm
ishing school in San Francisco, where
it is probable they will remain for a
year and with the exception of holiday
vacations their many friends viii have
10 forego the pleasure of their compan-
sonship here. for a long time. Both
voung ladies were in town for day or
TWO last week
Last Sunday morning at Sixth-street
M. E. Church the offertory was trio,
CHARITY" and was sung by Miss En-
ma Felter (soprano), Miss LOttie Shep-
stone Ccontralto), and Win Dunster
(tenor).
Members of walking clubs state that
they are about to start up again lot
the winter. Like all other pleasures
requiring any amount of exertion, they
have been resting all summer, and
the cold weather is now waking them
up to a desire for the healthful exef-
else once more.
Instead of the usual sermon last SIM
day at St PauFs. addresses We're made
on behalf of the Y NJ. c. A. by the as
sociation's Secretary, Mr.. Ekins, and
also by Messrs. Lawrence and Marsh.
The offertory was by the full choir.
Mr.. AIieI is a member of the Y. M. {.
A, and takes a great interest in the
furtheranee of the good work done by
these Jealous young men. Mr.. Marsh
address, as also Mr. Laurence's, was
of the financial condition of the asso-
citation. Mr.. Ekins spoke. as he always
does, thoughtfully and also entertain
ingly of the work and its results every
where 1t was something of an inno-
walton on the part of ST. PauIs, but
IS the association is not the outcome
of a single creed, but the creation oi
Christianity in its simplest form, there
is no reason why all the churches
should not be in perfect unison on the
subject particularly as we all feel that
the welfare of our splendid nation is
in the hands of our young men, an I
we cannot but wish for them the high
est possible good.
