ting the dates Tuesday, December 2S,
and Friday. December 81, for which are
set two smart functions of the season OF
1898, The Charity Ball, December 2S,
In the Carroll Club hall, the finest club
building of the state, will without doubt,
eclipse anything ever given In West Vir-
glnia. The Whitaker ball will be on the
same scale, and, with the exception OF
the cause for which the first Is given,
rival It in popularity. However, two
balls for Wheeling in one week will not
be too much, considering the strides the
city Is taking in all directions, and Lent
coming earlier in 1898, things must chase
over one another.
