STUDYING BY FORM.
Mrs. Van Wagonen Teaching in Pitts
burg the Art of Drawing.
AT THE FOUNDATION OP THE WORK.
Progressive Euchre and Keceptions Among
the Day's Society.
CHATTER ABOUT ETEKTS OP INTEREST
"Ladies, allow me to introduce to you
Mrs. M. E, Van "Wagonen, of Kingston, X.
T.," said Superintendent George J. Luckey,
jesterday alternoon, to an assemblage of
teachers who were congregated in a room at
the South school. Thereupon an attractive
lady with a beaming lace of wonderful in
telligence, framed with a mass of silvery
hair, and clad in a becoming gown of one of
the latest shades of heliotrope, gracefully
acknowledged the introduction and said:
"In the subject of drawing, upon which JL
am to instruct, we will commence at the
Very foundation from study which should
precede all else."
Accordingly with two classes, composed
of tiny tots, both girls and boys, who served
to illustrate the points, Mrs. Van "Wagonen
proceeded to give some very valuable and
interesting intormation upon form study,
which includes clay modeling "ftud paper
cutting. Mrs. Van "Wagonen is the super
visor of drawing in the Kingston schools,
and has been for the past six years, hav
ing previously served in the schools for
bur years as a regular teacher. The envi
able reputation gained by the lady in her
specialty has extended to many 01 me
States in the Union, which is not
at all surprising considering the earnest
Bess and enthusiasm with which she
imbues her work. Her stay in the city will
be limited, as it was with some reluctance
that the Central Board of Education of
Kingston acceded to the request made by
the same organization of this city and
granted the talented woman a leave of
absence to visit the Pittsburg schools and
give a course of lessons to the teachers.
Those in attendance yesterday at the first
lesson represented teachers of steps 1 to G in
clusive of the following schools: South,
Dnquesne, Grant, North, Hancock, Forbes,
Franklin and Ralston districts. Monday at
the same time and in the same place
teachers of Moorhead, O'Hara, Spring
field and Oakland districts will meet
TVcdnesdar, teachers of Lawrence, Howard,
"Washington and Mt Albion districts.
Tlmrsdav, teachers of Hiland, Liberty,
'Lincoln, Homewood, Sterrett and Coltax
districts. Friday, teachers of Peebles,
Riverside, Luckey and Stevens districts.
Teachers of Southside schools, excepting
those of the Riverside, Luckey and Stevens
districts, will meet Tuesday.
ASSEMBLY BAILS AEBAKGED.
A Mysterious but AIl-the-Moro Precious
Pat or to be Gh en.
Invitations were received yesterday for
the assembly balls, the dates of which
December 29 and February 9 were an
nounced some time ago. These events,
always brilliant, will be even more so than
usual this year from the fact that they will
have a tinge of novelty about them. For
the cotillions at each dance that take place
at 12 o'clock but one favor will be given,
and that of great beauty, value and mystery.
The fortunate winner of the favor will be so
by the holding of the lucky number which
will, with other numbers, be distributed
during the german instead o! the usual
favors. It is conjectured that a precious
stone of some kind, either in ring or brooch,
will constitute the favor.
For the event the following patronesses
have been selected: Mrs. B. F. Jones, Mrs.
Mark W. "Watson, Mrs. Henry "W. Oliver,
Jr Mrs. William H. Singer, Mrs. John
"W. Chalfaut, Mrs. John S. Dickson, Mrs.
"William H. Forsythe, Mrs. Henrv Darlinc
ton, Mrs. James A. Chambers, Mrs. Will
iam J. Moorhead, Mrs. Albert H. Childs
and Mrs. John 11. Dalzell.
The gentlemen under whom the assemblies
will be civen are: Mr. George W. Guthrie,
Mr. It. W. Sewell, Mr. Frederick G. Kay.
Mr. J. Stewart Brown, Mr. W. G. Park,
31 r. John H. Iticketson, Sir. John
Moorhead, Jr., Mr. Henry G. Brown, Mr.
Nathaniel Holmes, Mr. William Patton,
Mr. Charles L. Fitzliuch, Mr. Charles W.
Willock, Mr. James Wood, Mr. Frank P.
Sproull and Mr. Joseph A. M. McCord.
TWEKTY-P1SST AHEIVEBSABY
Of James L. Graham Jjodjre, X. O. O. F.,
Celebrated Last Evening.
Those who attended the complimentary
entertainment and the number was suf
ficiently large to fill Carnegie Hall with
which the James L. Graham Lodge, No.
C90, 1. O. O. V., celebrated its twenty-first
anniversary last evening, enjoyed a very
pleasing programme. Organist Leonard
Wales, in his usual accommodating, grace
ful and masterly manner, occupied the time
the ushers were teating the audience with
an organ recital ot selected numbers, and
afterward opened the programme proper.
The address of welcome was delivered by
Hon. James L. Graham.
The vocal solos by Miss Ada B. Scandrett,
whose accompaniments were played by Miss
Ida C. Burgy, the talented pianist, violin
solos by Mamie Iteuck, recitations by Mrs.
Emma'B. Beighel, Prof. Georee M. Sleeth
and Charles Lever, whistling solos by Anna
Leah Dickinson, vocal solos by Prof. Charles
C Corcoran and orcan numbers by Organist
Wales, an enjoyable evening was inevitable.
PBOGEESSrVE ETJCHBE.
Mrs. George Sheppard Appeared as Hostess
Last livening.
Mre. George Sheppard was hostess last
evening to one of the most delightful pro
gressive euchre parties given this year. In
the lovely home on Fifth avenue, where
Mrs. Sheppard resides with such rare grace
and charm, nssnibled a large but thor
ouehly congenial company who assisted
materially in mil-ins the evening one of
unadulterated enjoyment by making them
selves at home in the most bewitching and
informal m .inner.
The prizes were worthy the spirited plav
jng that gained them, and were tributes to
Mrs. Shepi ard's excellent taste.
EECEPIION TO HES. STAKLEY
To be Given by airs. George Shiras at the
Duijucsue Club.
A very brilliant entertainment in the
form of a reception that was contemplated

friends, who represent 12 ot the most im
portant families of Pittsburg.
FEASTED BY KING'S DAUGHTERS.
Many Patrons for the Luncheon at St. Peter's
Episcopal Church.
Judging from the number of patrons who
flocked to St. Peter's Episcopal Church yes
terday and the day before for the luncheon
served by the King's Daughters, a perma
nent business of that kind, conducted by
the same energetic and charmin;; young
ladies, would be a financial bonanza. In
deed, numerous promises of ccntinued
patronage were made each day, should such
an event come to pass in the luture, by gen
tlemen especially the younger ones who
received at the Jiands of pretty iialdens,
oyster patties, cold turkey, tongue, ham,
jelly, olives, celery, chicken salad, Saratoga
chips, rolls, coffee, milk and pie or ice
cream and cake.
The proceeds will be devoted to charitable
work by the various bands of the circle of
King's Daughters.
A DUAL BECEBTION
Presided Over by Mrs. John Shoenberger
Hays, of Allegheny.
Dual receptions are quite the proper thing
this year, and the one given yesterday by
Mrs. John Shoenberger Hays was a de
cidedly enjoyable affair. The elegant resi
dence on Sherman avenue, Allegheny, was
a scene of brilliancy and beauty from 2
o'clock yesterda afternoon until well,
dear only knows when the young folks did
stop dancing. In the afternoon from 2 till
4 the East End ladies presented their com
pliments and their own smiling faces to Mrs.
Hays and her assistants, and from 4 to 6 the
Allegheny ladies did likewise. In the
evening Miss Stella Hays -entertained
her own special set of young friends.
The reception was in honor of Mrs. James
Wood, formerly Miss Nellie Waltpn, who
has just returned from her wedding trip,
and among whose bridesmaids, including
some of the prettiest girls of the city, Miss
Stella Hays was charmingly conspicuous.
The lovely home was prettily decorated
for the occasion, by Messrs. A. M. and J.
B. Murdoch, and with Toerge's orchestra
and Kulm's catering everything was as it
should be. A number of prominent society
ladies assisted Mrs. Hays by dispensing the
lunch in the dining room.

This superfluous
growth of facial hair
Is surprisingly preva
lent. We seo It in the
drawing room, street and wherever ladies con
gregate. Every lady with hair on her face
knows that the use or depilatories, the tweez
ers, scissors and razor all make these hairs
grow coarser, stiffer, darker and more-numer-ou.
There is onlv one method In the world by
which this obnoxious growth of hair can bo
destroyed forever, and that is by the
ELECTRIC NEEDLE OPERATION.
This is a pnrely scientific operation, and is
indorsed by all physicians and snrgeons of emi
nence. Dr. Van Dyck devotes several hours
daily to the permanent removal of hair by this
operation. He has operated for 13 years, has
treated hundreds of cases, and has a national
reputation as an expert in Electro-Surgerv.
Ladies, if nature has unkindly-provided you
with this obnoxious growth of lacial hair, don't
neglect your case another day, but stop the use
of depilatories, scissors, tweezers or razors and
consult Dr. Van Dyck at once and be forever
freed from (his lifetime blemish.
Moles, birthmarks, warty excrescences on
the c j elide, neck and bands, red nnse, enlarged
veins of cheeks and nose, elevated and discol
ored scars, keloid growths, enlarged glands,
cancers and tnraors destroyed by Electro-Snr-geiy
by Dr. Van Dyck. Book free. Ofllce
hours: 9 to 6; Sundays, 10 to 5. Engagements
