EDLES OP POLITE SOCIETY. Question, on Point of Etiquette Answered by tbe Antbor of Don't Mistakes to Be Arolded Duties of Hosts and Hostesses Ermine Amusements. rwEITTEX FOR THE DISPATCH.2 "Will you correct the following invitation? "You and family are invited to be present st the dedication of the "WilliamsviUe TJn ion Sabbath School Chapel, February 22, 10:30." The chapel was to be dedicated in the morning; collation at noon. Should there have been any order of exercise on men tion of collation in the invitation? There was no address except the envelope, no sig nature, date or State mentioned. "Williams ville is not a township. It caused much an noyance by its vagueness. Is "you and family correct?" Sakah M. Davis. The invitation should have read '"you and your family," and somewhere the place should nave been indicated. It read, "To be present at the dedication of the Union Sunday School chapel on Friday, February 22, at 10S0 A. MM" and then given the name of the town and date of invitation, the wordingwould have been cor rect. It shonld have been signed by the com mittee or secretary or someone having au thority to issne the invitation. At a morning wedding where the bride wears a travebng dress, should the groom wear a Prince Albert coat and gray trousers, or would It be the proper thiog for him to wear a cut away coar and trousers to match. Please en lighten and oblige. A Bachelor. He should wear a Prince Albert coat. A cut away coat is. stnetly speaking, only suitable for business purposes. In marking bed clothing, etc that It, mark ing the initials for a trosscau should they be embroidered in a single initial? I should pre fer that If T)roper." 2. And should the Initials be that of tbe bride's maiden name or that of the groom's family? Lyxne. 1. Yes, if preferred. 2. The bride's maiden name. A EIDING ESCOET'S DUTIES. In what manner should a gentleman help a lady from a horse? E. C. T. H. L. DeBussigny gives In his "Hand-book for Horsemen" directions for mounting and dismounting a horse, from which we extract the following "Tbe gentleman who xnaynish to assist a lady should stand facing her at the left side of the horse, his right foot slighting in advance of his left. He should then stoop and offer his left hand for her foot, and place his right hand under her left to steady her as she rises. He should count aloud with her one, two, three, and at three be should straighten himself, giving a strong support for her left foot. At one. the lady should prepare to spring by assuring herself that she is standing square ly on her right foot; at two, she should bend her right knee, keeping her body straight; at three, she should spring strongly from her right leg. In dismounting the lady should slip her toot out of the stirrup, and her leg over the pommel, sitting sideways on the saddle for an instant; then give her left hand to her assist ant ana let herself slip to the ground." L In attending an afternoon reception is it proper to leave a card? 2. And if more than one lady receives should you leave jour card for each receiving lady? Yes. to both questions. L Should a lady hand her husband's card to the servant at the same time she hands her own? 2. What should oe done if tbeladycomes to tbe door herself? 3. In calling upon two or more ladies in one family shall I first inquire if they are at home, or band tbe cards to the ser vant, telling her tbe ladies' names whom I wish to see? 4. If a gentleman and his wife have called upon me shall I leave a card for the gen tleman when I return the call? 1. Yes. 2, Greet her; certainly do not hand her your cards. 3 It can make no difference which you do. Mentioning tne names of the ladles yon wish to see is equivalent to asking if they are at borne. 4. Not necessary. If I should call on a friend, and after a lapse of time she tells me she will return my call, specifying the week but not tbe day, and I should not be at home when she calls, should it be considered a call or should I wait for an other call? SIrs. M. Jokes. It should be considered a call. BACHELOBS DESXEK PARTIES. L At what age is it allowable for a young gentleman to give a dinner party or bold a re ception? 2. Is it necessary in giving a card party to have some older person (s gentleman or Lidy) receive them? 3. In giving a dinner party what kind of invitation should you send, cards or paper? Also manner of wording in vitation? 4. May you seat jour guests where you choose or can they select their on places? 6. In making your wedding call upon the bride and groom are you expected to take off your heavy coat, and should you carry your hat and gloves with you in the reception room? G. what kind of gloves should you wear? 7. At a wedding reception must you take leave of the bride and groom on going home, or the host and hostess, or neither? & At what age are young men allowed to enter society? 2. Gentlemen do not commonly give dinner parties or hold receptions until they have set up bachelor establishments. 2. Gentlemen giving social entertainments in their apart ments invite some elderly lady to receive their lady guests. 3. Op either cards or note paper. The usual wording is as follons: "Mr. Smith requests tbe pleasure ot (here give the person's name) company for dinner on Tuesday, March II, at 6 o'clock. 4. The guests must be seated by the host or hostess. The place of honor for the chief lady guest is on the right 'hand of the host and for the chief gentle man guest, the right hand of ' the hostess. Tbe second place is on the left hand of tbe hostess and the left hand of the host. The other guests are seated in a manner most likely to be agreeable to them. C. Take off your heavy coat, b'ut you may carry your hat and gloves in your hand. 6. Any dark color. 7. Take leave of your host and hostess; and if the bride and groom are still present take leave of them. 8. Any time after the ma jority. There is no special rule in this matter for men. , Will you kindly tell me what is the etiquette of a parsonage marriage ? Should the bride and groom go in the same carriage, and would it be proper for any to go in tbe carriage with them, cither to or from the parsonage? Ellkk P. D. If there is a bridal party they should go in carriages in the same manner as if they went to church. If bride and groom are accompa nied by witnesses only it would be proper to go In tbe same carriage. PARTIES AND LUNCHEONS. Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones, living at the board ing bouse of Mrs. Brown, determined to give a party. Sirs. Brown issues tbe invitations Tor tbem In her name, accompanied bv the cards of the young man. Where the ladies invited are unacquainted with the hostess, should they end their acceptance to her or to Messieurs Smith and Jones ? An acceptance in every case should be sent to the person who issues the invitation. L Is It good taste for a young unmarried wom an to wear diamonds at anv time, especially when simply receiving calls? 2. And is a dia mond engagement ring consistent with good taste? 3. What about borrowed jewelry? L N o. 2. A diamond engagement ring is the usual style. 3. Do not wear borrowed jewelry unless under special circumstances. A young lady, for instance, might wear a rare trinket owned by ber grandmother. But ladies shonld not wear one another's jewelry. It you will be kind enough to give the de tails of a "swell" luncheon in jour next Sun day's issue you will very much oblige a reader of your valuable paper. There should be, about seven courses for a well appointed luncheon. The following would be a good menu: L Oysters on the half sheik 2. Bouillon, a Fish, boded with any sanco you desire. 4. Broiled chicken with potatoes. 6. Roman punch, a Birds, either quail or pannage, wun lettuce salad. 7. Ice cream in Individual shapes, with cake and wine iellv. '.follomed by fruit and bon-bons. .Black coffee. A number of young people have organized themselves' into a social club, which will hold monthly meetings at tho homes of the several members. Quite a number of its members object to cards, others would enjoy dancing but do not know how, and there are those that enjoy both. 'Will you please suggest something new that would take the place of both cards and dancing for at least part of the evening in which all could participate? 2. Would it be out of place for the hostess to inform the young gentlemen that she wishes each one to escort a ladv to ber home, no matter how he may regard her? 3. A young lady receives a letter from a gentleman, requesting her tocor respond;she does not care to do so, tbe gentle man being merelv an acquaintance of a few hours', standing. The lady does not wish to appear rnde or unkind, yet has no inclination to carry on a correspondence. What should she do that would not cause offense? The wonder is that people who not dance or play should go into society; unless a person is equipped for social entertainment, his place is at home. In the absence of dancing and card playing, all we can suggest is singing, palmis try, recitations, mind reading, puzxle guessing, charades and other games, in which hooks on games, obtainable at any book store, will in struction. 2. It would not. 3. A man who asks a lady of a few hours' acquaintance with him to correspond Is guilty of great presump tion. It is little less than an insult. If the lady in question is a young unmarried woman, it is not proper for her to correspond with any male acquaintance, unless he is a friend of long standing, and well known to her family as well as to herself. A plain, decisive negative shonld be given to the man you refer to, whether he considers it unkind or not. The authoA or "Don't." Social Events.

Or shall we use our own brains and a little common sense, and adopt the patent metal ceilings, manufactured by A.

"Crystal Slipper" Habbis' Theater.. 'A Boy Hero" Qbakd Opera House.. "Three of a Kind" Academy op Music The Night Owls" CAsmo Museum.... Curiosities, etc. The above are the theatrical attractions for this week. RosinaVokes and the company of uncom monly good actors in her train achieved an ar tistic if not quite a financial success at the Grand Opera House last week. Miss Vokes is an actress of attainments and natural genius who almost stands alone among tho host of half-trained soubrettes pushed to tbe front as comediennes by enterprising managers of to day. Comedy of tho best sort, the purest and cleanest, and also the wittiest, needs a woman like Miss Vokes to make it tell. The public has been treated to such an almost unvarying procession of broad farces, mostly of the ath letic and pantomime trick order, interpreted by young men and women with little but their youth and physical boisterousness to recom mend them, that comedy of tbe sort in which Rosina Vokes shines bas been forgotten. There are f ew exceptions, a few real comedies of genuine artistic beauty, still on the stage, notably that Very brilliant example "The Hen rietta," which was seen here recently. The Haytlan farce-Comedy is the rage, how ever, and the legitimate comedy stands very little chance of coining money. This seems to have been Miss Vokes' experience. It is a great pity. Still it is to Uo hoped that Miss Vokes will play again in this city. If she does she will bo sure to find that Pittsburg will treat her more generously. The section of tbo public which appreciates orthodox comedy is a little slow in apprehension. It takes some little noise to convince It that a comedy and a comedian is the genuine article. With the exception of the wonderful yacht and the professional ourglars there is nothing to recommend "Tbe Stowaway." It is, how ever, to be regretted that some good actors are implicated in the production of the play. It has delighted the gallery at the Bijou, where audiences have been rather top-heavy during the u eek. By the way, what a very unkind, not to say cruel thing, it was of a certain critic to say that ,-The Stowaway" is one of the best melo dramas that Pittsburg has seen this season. Yet this remark is not far from the truth, and goes to show how Pittsburg suffers from im ported and domestic rubbish called melo drama. Mr. Morton Seltcn and Mr. Felix Morris, particularly the latter, in the support of Miss Vokes, did some excellent work at the Opera House. When Miss Vokes comes this way again we hope she will be accompanied by both these gentlemen. . Mr. Henderson, tbe Manager of the Chicago Opera House, and proprietor of "The Crystal Slipper," engaged Captain Alfred Thompson to write or help to write the libretto for next sum. mer's piece at his theater. Since then there has been a difficulty about this libretto, Mr. Hen derson declining to accept what Captain Thompson bad written. Mr. Henderson says that the libretto isn't funny and isn't suited to American tastes, and, in a letter to tbe Dramatic Mirror this week, he quotes tho fol lowing from Captain Thompson's work to sus tain his don tent ion: The play is entitled "The Blue Bashaw." The scene is laid at Jamjellypoor, a town on the River Gutterjumper. Ben Hoc, the father of Fatima, has secured for his daughter the hand of the Blue Bashaw.' "It's a big thing for the family," he says, add ing with a keen knowledge of American slang, "and thero are not many fathers who could have worked the growler so well," Selim, the young and araeut lover, enters with a ladder. "Say, myjad," cnes Sister Anne, "what are you doing with the ladder?" "1 am going to pick my teeth on my rounds," says Selim. "So, you wretched old rounder," exclaims Sister Anne, banging him with the ladder, "we'll teach vou to come to this country." "Will you bo so good as to withdraw to the kitchen," says Selim, "and give me a chance to gurgle my chants." "Fly, Selim. fly," cries Fatlma. "My daughter is too fly," remarks her father. "My son-in-law's hair may be blue but his cash is ready. That makes you yelUho, but you mnst green and bear it." Tho thanks of the great American public who would have had to listen to such stuff as this and a great deal more, are certainly due to Mr. Henderson for rejecting "The Blue Bashaw.'t- It is not often that it Is possible to say of a spectacular extravaganza such as "The Crystal Slipper" that it contains lots of fun and points beside beauties, for which tbe ballet and scenic artist are responsible. Some weeks ago I saw it at Chicago, and it impressed me as the best thing of its kind I had ever seen. Miss Nellie McHenry has returned to her old love, "Three of a Kind," and the Pittsburg public will probably show their appreciation of her by giving her "a full house" every night. . And so the Hon. Billy Florence has fallen into the prevailing habit and has announced that he has ready a "knock-down and drag ont" farce comedy in readiness, which he calls by the classic and euphonious title "Working the Growler." He hopes it will carry tbo popular vote "by a large majority." ... The days when a great star could travel all over the country with a set of' sticks for sup port and make a fortune Seem to he fleeting fast. The example set by Joe Jefferson and William Florence of gathering around them a company as strong as it could possibly be made will be followed largely, or the signs of the times are misleading. Thus far tbe artists seemed to support Messrs. Jefferson and Flor ence include John Gilbert, C. W. Couldock and Mrs. Drew. Edwin Booth has secured Madame Modjeska and two actors, whose names are at present withheld, but who are-said to be of the first, even star, rank, Hepbuen Johns. This Week's Attractions. "THE Crystal Slipper, or Prince Prettiwitz and Littlo Cinderella," the Chicago Opera House second annual spectacular extrava ganza, will be presented for the first time In Pittsburg at the Bijou Theater to-morrow night, Apart from the many novel features promised in this very popular extravaganza the scenic accessories are said to be really worth seeing. The first is called "The Cata combs of She.'' The figures 'seen on he gloomy caverns present striking likenesses of prominent public characters, and the red glare which comas from The Fire of Lite" casts an uncanny glow over the somber picture. The scene disappears and "The Market Place of Pretzelstadt" Is revealed. It is full of light and bustle. On either side are booths and shons, for the townspeople have assembled to celebrate the coming of age of Prince J'retti-u-ilz. Here all tbe characters in tbo piece are introduced. The Prince appears, surrounded by the pages of tbe imperial court, and there is a parade of the Pretzelstato muskatoers and a dance of fools given for his "entertainment. "Tbe Palace of Fans." In the third act, wbere The Banquet Ballet" and "The March of the Supper Secvlce" takes place.is a scenic novelty wbich is said to have cost a great deal of money. When tbe scene is first revealeda huge fan oc cupies tbe center of the stage. Arches of fans of ev ery description stretch from entrance to entrance, each supported by. tropical plants and finwers of -all-kinds. A gavotte is danced bv Cinderella, the Baron Anthracite, tbe Valet Yo3emilnd the other characters in the piece, and tbe enormous fab parts in tbe center and slowly disappears through the stage. Behind Is seen a fountain of running water. IMlle Tich is introduced in "The Banquet Ballet" a doll dance. In which be is said to be irresisti bly laughable. Tbe last act is devoted to tbe union of Cmdertlla and tbtSPrtnce.and termin ates -with "ThelHalls ot Time," a very elabor." aAp ate allegory. There are 150 people in the com pany, Clara Qualltz, Clara Neumann and Madeline Moronde lead the ballet of GO cory phees, which Is underthe direction of S-eno' Mnrrissimo. There is a large chorus. Fred J. Eustis, who composed and arranged the muslo of "The Crystal Slipper," will lead the orches. tra here. Thk star at Harris' Theater this week is one of the youngest on the stage, but be is already popular, particularly with juvenile audiences. The Brooklyn Eagle says of the play: A new star to this city appeared in a new play at the Criterion Theater, yesterday afternoon and evening. Tbe starts Martin Hayden, and the play is "A Boy Heru." The play has consider able merit, with a plot well unraveled, and cal culated to hold tho spectators' attention throughout. It tells the story of life on tho Gulf coast In the stirring times before tbe war, and the careful following of the struggles of a noble young girl fighting against organized Sersecution is a delicate piece of stage work. Ir. Hayden plays the part of Jultan, and he deserved all the applause that was accorded to him by the audience. "A Boy Hero" is not a star play, and the actors who appeared were given much opportunity to display their his trionic abilities. The staging of the play was effective, and its mechanical features were well worked out. The star and tbe piece which will be at the Grand Opera House this week is the person of the popular artiste. Miss Nellie McHenry, in "Three of a Kind." Tbe company and Nellie McHenry havo won a legitimate reputation throughout the entire country and are no strangers In Pittsburg. The. St, Louis Dis patch speaks as follows: "Nellie Mcilenryfllled the stage at Pope's yesterday afternoon and evening with her vivacity. Three of a Kind' is full of absurdities, but it is also full of jol lity, and Nellie McHenry, as DoMy Dashteood, and ber corps of assistants, kept tbe piece go ing. John Webster. Frank Blair and W. C. Mandeville, as tho Three of a Kind,' Felix Haney, Thomas E. Jackson, Dickie Martinez and Francis Herbert are all first-class In their respective characters." At tbe Academy of Music 'The Night Owls" will be on hand to receive their many old friends in Pittsburg all the week. The names of the artists in this company are so well known that it is needless to rehearse tbem here. Tho company offers a programme that promises an evening of royal amusement, and wind3 up with the burlesque, "Drummers in Paradise," in which Eve is well represented. The Arion Swiss Bell Ringers and many oth er new features appear on the bills for this week at the Casino Museum, where the sea ser pent has been edifying thousands for days past. Echoes of the Singe. "Three of a Kind" has not been seen here for two years. Nellie McHenry was last seen here in "The Humming Bird" at the Bijou. Managers Paimeh and Daly will give a supper to Edwin Booth at Delmonico's on Sat urday evening. Covers are to be lata for about 75 gentlemen. Dion Boucicatjlt is completing his recol lections, which will form a large and undoubt edly interesting volume. Mr. Bouclcault be gan this work several years ago. Sidnet Deew". the comedian of "A Legal Wreck" Company, is in active training for his pool match with Burr Mcintosh, for the cham pionship of the theatrical profession. There is evidently a new fund of energy being subscribed to the advertising department of Mrs. Langtry. Her image appears in all the picture papers trom Maine to Florida. She looks very well indeed in a picture. The four Shetland ponies used in 'The Crys tal Slipper" to draw Cinderella' carriage to the ball, wero specially imported by the Chica go Opera House for the production. They are said to bo the smallest of their breed. Little Maequebtte Fish, who pliys Cin derella In 'The Crystal Slipper," was formerly known in this country as Baby Benson. She is the smallest soubrette on tbe American stage. As Baby Benson she commanded a salary of $000 per week when only 8 years old. It is a great many years since Helen Barry, who dedicated the Union Square Theater on Wednesday night, made ner professional debut atCovent Garden, as Queen of the Amazons of the Moon, in that extravagant failure, "Babil and Bijou." Miss Barry would light up well as a Queen of the Amazons to-day. She has the dimensions for it. Ntm CKDfKXE says in the Dramatic Mirror: "Mrs. Potter came in quietly on Tuesday night and did Camille tor the first time she ap peared at Harlem and all the critics were at tbe Star Theater. Bnt I took an elevated train and rushed up there for in act. In the gayer scenes, which were the only scenes I saw, she did the part very charmingly and looked very dainty. Heaven knows how she did the rest." Says Le Chat Noir: Agnes Booth weais opera cloaks that will stand alone, they are so important. There is no actress on the stage who can enter more majestically, and get a cloak off of ber shoulders and over the back of a sofa more conspicuously, so that tbe specta tor will be thoroughly aware of tbe great beauty and value of that cloak. Fanny Daven port is fair at this, but Mrs. Booth is the leader. Tax London correspondent of the Mirror writes: An evening paper reporter has been spreading himself on tho size of actresses' waists. To begin with, I learn that Ellen Terry being at the head of ber profession has one of the largest waists therein, viz.. 28 inches. Miss Eastlake is can credited" with a similar circum ference, and I also readily believe it. Mrs. Bernard Becre doesn't wear stays, and has a waist of 27 inches, Mary Anderson's waist a few years ago was 24U Inches. Now it is 26. Dorothy Done has a 21-fnch waist. "She never has anything after the play bnt a cup of hot bouillon and biscuit, and gets 9 hours' sleep out of every 24." Mary Rorke has a 23-inch waist, but "Kate Vaughan has the smallest on the stage." Twenty-one, I believe. Miss Georgia Cayvax, the leading lady of the New York Lyceum Theater, strikes the critic of Le Chat Jfoir thus: The playwrights around tbe Lyceum have gauged tbe pathetic depths of their leading lady very finely, and they know that to topple over tbe urns of her great grief they must give her some soliloquies about baby Harry, or little Blanche, my dar ling child. And that Is ithere we boo-hoo with out canng.who sees us. We let tbe tears trickle down over the end of our noses and splash against our shirt fronts, seeing not, heeding not the dry eye of tho cynic, who writes criti cisms for the papers, and never had a child. It is fortunate that in tbis flippant age we at least have one place where tears are kept on draught. We are able now, when we meet a friend who we know enjoys tills sort of thing, to take blm by the arm and say: Come down to the Lyceum, and bave some tears with me. B. P. O. E. Notes.

Mr. F. S. Church, of New York,is an art ist who is becoming very widely known and whose work indicates a weird and peculiar, and at the same time striking and original, line of thought. Mr. Church is fond of bringing strong contrasts into his pict ures. Gentleness and ferocity, mildness and rage are oppositions which he frequently makes use ot, as, for instance, a picture of a slender and delicate female controlling and subduing lions, by tbe power of music, and in the paint ing Entitled, "An Interrupted Feast," where a tiny bird is seen close to tbe jaws of a tiger en gaged in gnawing a bone. 'The Viking's Daughter'oneofthisartist's best known works, depicts a fair young girl who may be taken as a type of reflned American beauty.walking by the shore, while seagulls fly close about her neau as tnougn wnispenng secrets in ner er. Porhaps the first of Mr. Church's works to be seen in this city is 'The Requiem," shown in Gillespie's window last week, and to those who know of tbe reputation enjoyed by tbe artist it will no doubt prove disappointing. This pict ure, which can scarcely be considered as be ing more tban a decorative panel, shows a human skull with a bullet hole in the forehead, half bidden among the grass and daisies. Above tbe skull a robin is singing upon a slen der twig, and tbis tiny spark of life over what was once the borne of human thought and power fills ono with a strange sadness and melancholy, and impresses npon tbe beholder forcibly tbe lesson of the briefness and frailty of man's hold on life, and tne slight change it makes when he lays himself down for his final sleep. It Is to be regretted that the technique of this picture falls so far below what would be in Keeping with its spirit and conception, as it unquestionably does. The work 1$ bd in color and rough and careless in handling, exhibiting some qualities character istic of tbe school girl or amateur, rather than the master. A Fine Collection of Paintings. It is the rule of late, rather than the excep tion, that the Gillespie gallery is filled with splendid paintings, either by home or foreign artists. Tbe collection at present on exhibition there is the property of Mr. M. Bleiman. of Now York, and is a very Interesting one from the fact that tbe pictures present a great variety of subjects ana are nearly all works of considerable merit, and would be recognized as such without reference to tbe famous names attached to many of them. With ono or two exceptions these are works wbich will appeal to tho intelligence of almost all educated and refined persons, however limited their knowl edge of tbe technique of painting. Among the names wbich will attract immediate atten tion may bo mentioned tbe following, though the list does not comprise all that maybe worthy of special mention: Heger, Charles Jacqne, Trovon, Carot, Vibert, Adrlen Mor eau, Haag, Leon Caillo and Perez. The list might easily be extended, bnt the above are sufficient to convey an idea of the character of tbe exhibition, which is such that no one inter ested in art can afford to miss seeing It. The picture by Charles Jacque:is a particularly clever work, and would of Itself amply repay the trouble of a visit, while that by M. Heger is a splendid piece of drawing and coloring, such as is rarely seen in this vicinity. This latter picture represents the inte rior of a magnificent apartment with elaborately carved and decorated walls and ceiling. Through an arched opening in one of tbe walls may be seen a portion of the room be yond. This work is apparently faultless throughout, and the manner In which the effect of sunlight streaming in at tbe window and falling npon tbe various objects has been rendered indicates the most thorough knowl edge and the touch of a master's hand. Aronnd the Studios. A SMALL sketch by Mr. D. Bj Walkley is shown at Mayer's. The subject represents a coast scene, probably In Holland, and consists of a number of boats close to the shore and near a cluster of small buildings, tbe whole forming an effect in which the arrangement of lines is very pleasing. The tone of color is rather low and. gray, inclining almost to cold ness, but is balanced well and is harmonious. Mr. Clarence Johns is back at the gallery again, looking about as usual, though he still carries his head a little more stiffly than he was wont to do. Several new pictures have been added to the collection, among them a land scape by Miss Olive Tnrney, which is certainly one of the best works she has produced of late. Since .whatever degree of adverse criticism Miss Turney's paintings have called forth bas been mainly directed against the quality of the sky and atmospheric effect, it is worthy of re mark that it is chiefly in these particulars that she has outdone ber previous efforts. These has been a question raised as to the authenticity of many of the "old masters" be longing to the Duke of D ureal, at present on exhibition at the galleries of tbe American Art Association in New York, and to be sold at auction on the 8th and 9th ot next month. It has even been claimed that many of them are bare-faced libels on tbe schools of art, of which they are held as representative. The question Is an interesting one, particularly to picture buyers, but surely if many of them are spurious "old masters" tbe fact will soon be established through their exhibition in such a city as New York. As tbe titled owner of these works ex pects to realize over $1,000,000 by their sale, it will be just as well for American buyers to make certain that they are getting what they pay for before they part with the cash. The means and processes of artistic expres sion are almost invariably very simple, and at the command of nearly everyone however situ ated. It is tile ideas expressed that give value to the work and they, of course, depend upon the talent of tho individual who produced it. A method of producing designs in decorative art which finds considerable favor abroad con sists simply in taking advantage of the possi bility of making depressions in soft wood by means of pressure. The design is usually traced upon the wood with a tool and by using sufficient force to produce a clearly defined outline. The wood between the lines of tbe pattern is then beaten down by means of small punches, and, if desired, may bo slightly stained, which brings tbe design ont in bold re lief. Brackets, pa j els, small chests, etc, may be thus simply and very eff ecti ely ornamented, with little or no cost but tbe labor, which will bo found to be so interesting that it 13 its own roward. The method of decorating interior walls by use of stenciled designs is by no means new, but it is probable that its field of usefulness will before long bo greatly extended and the character of the work very much improved. Like most other methods its effectiveness de pends largely upon the skill and judgment with which It Is applied. With proper knowl edge of the requirements In design it is com paratively easy to produce by this means the effect of a free play of hrushwork In a single fiat tint of color. The failures wbich often re sult from attempts to apply this or any other method of decoration are commonly due to the endeavor to make use of designs unsuited to the method and to produce effects be) ond the scope or opposed to the spirit of the process. Any severe designs in which the interruptions of continuity caused by the blanks left by tbe stencil plates would attract too mnch atten tion should be avoided, but a graceful flowing pattern composed of disconnected forms fol lowing a regular order is often found to be both pleasing andeffectlve.

The Tbad Stevens, Liberty. Osceola and the Howard Schools held reception days last week. At the Tbad Stevens School quite an Interest ing programme of school work was In vogue for the last lour days of the week, and an exhibi tion was given Thursday evening. Among tho visitors were many teachers from the city schools. Wednesday and Friday were the gala days at the Liberty and Osceola Schools, Twen tieth ward. Beautiful flowers made tbe rooms most attractive; singing, the regular school les sons, and specimens of fine manuscript work engrossed the attention of tbe many visitors. Tbnrsday and Friday the Park and Bloom field schools were beseiged with visitors. The beautiful writing was much admired. Parents when they visit tbe schools on these "public days" can hardly credit that their own little toddlers can do the fine writing attributed to them so different from the days when they went to school. Last Friday at the Bloomfleld school, in one of tbe lower rooms, one individual expressed his wonder at the writing on tbe board of tbe little folks. One pupil's writing especially he thought it impossible for a child to do, so he asked if tbe boy might write a sentence on tho board for him. The teacher smilingly erased all the work on tbe board, brought up the same class and had them all write over again. Creditable judges said the latter writing was supenpr to the former.
