THE - HTTSB'OBO- DISPATCH- TTJESDAY; 'APEID"-'14,' I89V FLORA'S RECEPTION. A Beantifnl Spring Day In the Al legheny Conservatories. THE TAfiKSSOOS TO BE PRETTIER. Preparations For Their Adornment Are Already Under Way. THE SOCIAL CHATTER OP IESTEEDAI The Phipps conservatories held a recep tion yesterday afternoon. It was an entirely impromptu affair. This statement is made that the many friends of the lamily who were not present will understand the mat ter, and not imagine that the visiting list of tne conservatories has been cut down. The dclightfnlness of the 'jay was directly re sponsible for the afiair and for the unusually large number of guests, including ladies, babies and dogs, and a few accidentals in masculine attire. Fortunately for the con servatories, they were in regular Sunday-go-to-meeting garb, and were in no wise dis concerted by the influx of visitors. The receiving party consisted of many floral favorites. The Azaleas were especially radiant, and challenged criticism in any form. Their coloring.bevond description, was excelled only by their daintiness of outline and delicacy of perfume. They certainly presented a dazzling vision, and were the recipients of marked attention and admira tion that excited no little jealousy in the minds of the orchids. Orchids Not The First or AIL Seldom it is that anything floral takes precedence of the orchids, but in this in stance such was the case, and warmed-over adjectives were the only ones bestowed upon the orchids, beautiful as they were, until the Kepenthes was reached. It permitted the use of a different class of ad jectives, for it is such a lovely little cannibal. Pitcher-like in shape, delicately tinted and wax-like, it is never theless "a "will-you-walk-into-my-parlor" sort of blossom, for it is possessed of a double row ot teeth, which mean death to any insect that enters the pitcher, unless it can fiv. TheXepenthean liquor with which these blossoms are filled is also cannibalistic in its tendencies, and in lieu of insects or flies, will thoroughly digest beefsteak in small pieces as served by Superintendent Hamilton, the strength of which is diffused throughout the enure body ot the plant. Among the orchidi who re ceived yesterday were many whose delicate and fragile beauty was not sufficiently strong to support the lengthy names of their family, and little pieces of board were called into requisition for that purpose. The lilies and the hyacinths did not claim any particular attention, theyhavingretiied to old age and spectacles. An Amazon of the Aquarium. The Victoria Kegia, an Amazon guest in the aquarium, was the youngest of the recep tion committee, it being in fact almost an Infant. Its little round face, about 'the size o! a breakfast plate, however, did much to entertain as it lay smiling on the face of the water. Later in the season at some of the subsequent receptions the Begia will make a more commanding appearance and will be able inside of four months to hold some of the baby guests, not exceeding 60 pounds, upoD its then attained eight-foot face. The gold fish were delightful acquisitions to the receiving party, and charmingly en tertained, as only goldfish can. Thcv have not in four months had the water of their aquarium changed, yet they were enjoying tlie best of health and their toilets were im maculate. Superintendent Hamilton says that even for the series of impromntu recep tions to be given by the conservatories this season, the gold fish will sot be permitted a change of aqua, as fish extract oxygen from the water and exhale carbonic acid gas; while plants, when growing, give off oxyecn and inhale car bonic acid gas, hence the water is purified. Extensive preparations are being made by Superintendent Hamilton and his assistants for the coming entertainments, and April 20 will find the parks undergoing their an nual beautifying. Nothing new or novel thus far is contemplated in the arrange ment, and it is not even known whether George "Washington or Lincoln will smile a welcome with a hen and chicken attach ment AN APPBOACHING WEDDING. Major 3IcKcc Soon to lJccomo the Husband of Miss Itirdie Chalfant An event of great importance in the social world, hitherto unannounced, will take place within the walls of the Chalfant resi dence, on Isorth avenue, Allegheny, as soon as the work of remodeling it is completed, and though depriving the home of one of its lovelv daughters, will be the signal for the establishment of a new home, within the citr, over which Miss Birdie Chalfant, as Mr. Mjor McKee, will preside.

And we'll do it, come what may. We chal lenge our competitors in the words of the immortal Shakespeare, "Lay, on, Macduff, and damned be he who first cries hold, enough." COMPETITORS SAT "THAT'S TOUGH." On Saturday last a certain concern advertised the "Celebrated Star Shirt" at 35 cents, and the "finer grade" of Star Shirt at 85 cents. It may interest their customers to know that in each case they got the same brand of shirts. Interesting to the 35-cent ones for they certainly got value for their money, but what of those who paid double and more for the same thing. Will they laugh, too? And say, what becomes of the pretense of the said concern to be a strictly one price house? Two prices on the same article on the same day. What they termed the finer grade they claimed to be the same shirt that we are selling at 99 cents. , We claim that this is false and that they know it to be false and we mean the public to know it also. All anyone has to do to prove what we state is to examine the under side of the tab at end of bosom on shirt and they will find that whether they paid 35 cents or 85 cents, the number is 2 G. The number of our 90-cent shirt is 1465, a brand of shirt made es pecially for us under contract and never sold to any other dealer. These shirts have an intrinsic value, and if it be a fact that our ' neighbors have sold or are selling this brand of shirt at 35 cents each, then we'll offer the people a chance to make a little money. For every Star Shirt of this 1465 brand brought 'to our store we stand ready to pay 99 cents each. .One shirt, a dozen or a thousand. Every hundred of these you can secure will net you 64. Remember the brand, 1465. Our neighbors claim the shirts they sell are the same. Put it to the test There's -money in it if it's true. If they can't furnish them at 35 cents try them at 85 cents, for even at that figure there's still n. good margin. But insist upon getting our brand and number. Now we assert with confidence that they never sold this brand of shirt at any price, and if it isn't false pretense to make people believe they did, what is it? Now, as to the shirt which they did actually sell, the 2 G brand. If you want these shirts you haveno need to pay them 85 cents for them for you can get them at Gusky's at just 19 cents each. . Our price on the 99-cent shirt first advertised still remains 99 cents. They are worth every cent of it And we stand ready to buy them from anybody who can procure them elsewhere and pay 99 cents each for them. ' This sale is for to-day only, and begins at 10 o'clock.
