Among ,ne affairs TO which society
looks forward with pleasureable antici-
patton, there are at least a half dozen
nuptial events which stand out con-
spicuously because of the prominence
OF the contracting parties. Three of
these will bring additions to the fem
mime portion of Wheeling society, and
fashionable circles are therefore
wrought up to a high degree of inter
est. Two notable weddings will take
place on November 18th, in which the
grooms will be gentlemen who are well
known in Wheeling's society and bus
mess circles, one in Huntington. and
the other in a Pennsylvania town near
Philadelphia. Another ceremony will
unite "a popular city official with a
charmingAyoung lady Of Baltimore who
was former student of Mt. de Chan
tai Just before the mid-winter holi-
days will be solemnized the wedding
Of prominent young railroad official,
to a beautiful and accomplished Island
girl. These prospective weddings, and
many others which might be mention
ed if it were proposed to furnish a
complete list, will be sufficient in them
selves to maintain a lively interest in
fashionable circles until Christmas
