The popnlaritp of Jane as the month
of weddings, was never more happily de
monstrated than during the past six days.
Dame Nature, in her most giadsome
mood, Joined hands with Cupid, and the
happy lovers who approached the altar
of Hymen, started their career of wed
ded Dliss most auspiclou|ly. Some
of the prettiest ceremonies of the year
were performed during the week. The
promise of baiinly weather has stirred
the social world Into unwonted activity,
and the programme of out-of door
festivities Is repleto with many prospec
tive events which will fill in the time
of the stay-at homes. The summer girl
is already packing her trosseau for tb6
centemplated trip to the mountains or
the seashore. The lack of enthusiasm
In regard to the Exposition has been
frequently commented upon, but the
■Wheeling contingent at the White City
will assume greater proportions at the
close of the heated term. Chicago just
now appears to be the Mecca for newly
wedded pairs, and many Wheeling soci
ety folks are speuding their honey
moon there. Weddings and the exer
cises attendant upon the commence
ment season have furnished an oppor
tunity for numerous informal social
gatherings, with a judicious sprinkling
between of musicaies, luncheons and re
ceptions.
This bright and practical Idea origin
ated in the brain of a Boston woman,
says an exchange. She says: “I am go
ing to suggest among my friends a sort
of card exchange. Why shouldn’t wo
save up our cards, once a year sort tbem
out and mail them back, to our iutl
^-wates at least. I am sure I would be
glad to get mine and. if one makes as
many calls as I do, the card bill is no
small item.” This plan will probably
never be adopted, as it savors of an econ
omy incompatible with Americaa aris
tocracy. Many a woman has openly
complained of the fearful waste of
cards, which in Washington and like
cities amounts to a heavy yearly ex
pense. Where the card represents the
call itself there seems to be no way
of reform but where tho lady makes
the call and leaves a card also, there
might be a social revolution, doing
away with the card. Ivory tablets
made as elegant as possible, whereon
the visitor might incribe her name,
imight be placed in the ba.ll, making a
genteel sort of visitor's book.

Bowling, yachting and driving par
ties, in tbo order named, are the most
popular forms of summer amusemeut in
Wheeling. The Park alleys Increase in
popularity, and but few dates are not
engaged. The Knights of St. George
had possession Wednesday evening, and
the occasion proved a delightful one.
There was also congenial parties of so
ciety folks on Tuesday and Friday even
ings. A light luncheon proves an ex
cellent feature at the bowling parties.
Driving parties retain their popular
ity as a means of enjoyment during the
heated term, and provide excellent op
portunities for the little love-god to
send his darts with unerring aim. Of
course a moonlight night is the first
thing to be considered, and ibis secured,
Cupid does tho rest. The Wayside
Inn is usually the objective point, and
the exhiiiratiou of the five mile drive
lends zest to the appetite for “waffles.”
A revival of the novel hay parties is
promised later in the season.
It is surprising that yachting has not
a firmer hold upon society, as no form
of amusement presents more opportuni
ties for wholesome pleasure.

1 The Sweet Girl Gradut*
"Standing with reluctant feet.
Wh r« the brook end river meet,**
fe >n the sweet gtl we shell see
Graduating properly;
D* ked In gown of white or bias,
Pink or mauve or soft ecru.
She will read her essay, deep
As an ancient aonjon keep!
She will give advice as sage
As a woman's twice her age;
She will stun you by the thought.
Out of her experience wrought;
She will make you thin* that she
Must her mother's m >ther be!
What a lot ahc thinks she knows,
As from point to po:nt she goes;
What a lot we know that she
Doesn't know at all, as we.
Who have played life’s doubtful game;
Still we love her just the seme.
"Standing with reluctant feet.
Where the brook and river meet.”
