Social Circle.

A very pleasant event was the celebration of their golden wedding by P- B. O'Reilly and wife on Tuesday evening, at their home, 611 north Fifth street, the occasion being also the 70th birthday anniversary of Mr*. O'Reilly. The friends of the old couple completely filled the house, and their flVe children and thirteen grand children were also present. During the courseof theenjoyroent Mr. O'Reilly was called

into

the parlor, where

in a neat presentation speech Edward Orborne banded him a purse of gold. Although taken by surprise Mr. O'Reilly replied In a neat speech, characteristic of the man, and suitable to the occasion. The host and hostess were also presented with a handsome rocker, while Mrs. O'Reilly was the recipient of gold spoon, several wrappers, a number of handsome china plates and a beautiful boque of flowers. Several fine selections of vocal muiilc were given by Mrs. John Walsh, and Will Hamilton favored the guests with several

recitations

In his inimitable style.

Among those present were Messrs. and Mesdarnes C. A. Stevens, James Adams, Edward O'-Nell, Edward Osborne, Frank l|hlrley, L. LDavidson, William Prindeville,* Ed Roach, Patrick Osborne, Henry McLean, Lee Jackson, Professor Staatz, Charles Stevens, Will Long, John Walsh, Joseph O'Reilly, John F. O'Reilly, Patrick IS.

A recent writer In one of the Boston journals thus finds fault with some of the social tendencies of the times: "The language of society Is an argot, only to be comprehended now by the rich, for It is all about coaches and horses, yachts, the hunt, the polo field, balls and dinners. The 'social topic' classes give the women what little knowledge Is necessary for the flippant epigrams of fashionable conversation, and if anybody knows anything It Is carefully hidden, for It Is frightfully 'bad form' to be In earnest or lo pursue any subject whatever with serious purpose. Literary or scientific or political Importance are of no value In society unless one hps the cachet of Its silly leaders. Its moral tone Is low, lnnuendos of the broadest kind create no blush, It# marriages are "alliances," and openly spoken of as such, like the Astor union a little while ago, and one has only to read tho divorce court records to see how lightly the sacrod tie sits upon the fashionable conscience. A few years ago a divorce was not rocognlzed In society. There arc more than a scoro to-day among the leaders of society In Newport and New York. The worst of it all Is that fortunes have got so large now that tho wildest spendthrifts can hardly dissipate thom so that tho shaking up and rearrangement of society, by the rich becoming poor, which used to come about after a generation or two, Is no longer possible."

Last Tuesday was the twenty-fifth wedding anniversary of 1'rof. C. J. Kautman and wife, and their many friends made it tho occasion of plensaut surprises und numerous handsome presents. Their home, lOOSsouth Fourth street, was Invaded in the afternoon by about thirty unlavlted guests, and a number of letters and telegrams of congratulation was received from friends abroad.

devil," It now remains for

tense other star preacher to take tha matter up, provided he can rtad some ntronger and more acoaational epithet throogh tha as* of which he can attract public attention. In the meantime the game has loot none of Its charms for tho** who indulge in it,

although it frequently happens that church

members

object to having their names In

print as

membersof

progressive cinch, euchre

or hearts clubs. However, the progressive card playing season is rapidly drawing to a close, and the g-me will soon be heard of no more until another season opens.

Captain George W. Krletensteln, of this city, and Miss Minnie Schirathln, of Milwaukee, Wis., were married at the home of the bride's parents la that city on Tuesday evening last The groom Is well'known In this city, where he is always a central figure n- matters pertai ni ng to the Sons of Veterans, and where

he

is also associated with his father

in the drug business. He has Just completed a very handsome residence at 611 south Third street, which has been furnished, and in which the young couple will be given a wed ding reception next Tuesday evening by the groom's parents.

It is tlie custom of the Wabash Club to give a reception to each of its members on becom ing a Benedict, and it will be carried out again next Tuesday evening in the rooms over 421 and 423 Main street, in honor of Rody Patterson and wife, who returned from their wedding trip on Wednesday and have taken rooms with J. T. H. Miller and wife, dancing programme has been prepared, the music will be furnished by the Ringgold orchestra, and refreshments will be served.

It is said that "In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love," and probably that's the reason that only fortytwo love sick swains applied to the county clerk for marriage license during the month of April, It Is probable that from now on till cooler weather the matrimonial market will be quite dull, but the indications are that numerous weddings in society circles will occur In the early tall.

Louis Kalber and wife were given a surprise party on Wednesday evening at their home, 825 south Second street, in honor of their twentieth wedding anniversary.
