Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-01-01

The time-honored custom of keeping
"open house. on New Years day, has
fallen into disfavor in recent years, but
there are many Wheeling homes in
which the happy custom IS still main
tanned. The number of hostesses who
received would have been larger, no
doubt. but for the fact that all the
clubs had special entertainments. The
Fort Henry Club gave its first social
affair in recent years. 1t was an in
formal reception to members and their
LADY friends from eight o'clock until
midnight.
The decorations were very handsome,
the greenery serving to bring out very
prominently the new designs in the re-
cent establishment Of the cafes and
parlors. The chandelier lights were
shaded with pink. There was a neat
display Of evergreen with flags inter-
twined, in the corridor. In the large
double cafe potted plants were placed,
and. smilax was twined about the chan
deliers. A mandolin and guitar club
played during the early evening, and
later the Opera House orchestra rem
dered exquisite music. Punch was
served in the corridor, and light re-
freshments in the ladies' cafe.
