RESIDENCE OF MBS. A. E.
Madame Del Sarte has come, and by 7
o'clock tbi: morning she will be gone. We
have been Frenchy for three whole days, or
pretending to be so. We also have been
Delartean and have taken to madams oar
tj ebrows, mouths, faces and bodies, and she
has been their schoolmistress, much to our
tatUfaclinn if not to their improvement
You see we cannot buy Delsartism by the
ounce, drink it after bhakiag it well and be
immediately affected. Delsartism is about
us slow and uncertain as the working out of
our own salvation, and I doubt me if
madame's visit has done much ior us ex
cepting to make us "wish to be otherwise.
"Would it not be safe to estimate that
nine-tenths of her audiences were
practicing "concentric, eccentric and nor
mal" at their mirrors last night, right
before bedtime?
I am inclined to imagine that the interest
in Madame Del Sarte lies principally in
Jimt. T2eraldy-Del Sarte.
the fact that she is her father's diary. He
scorned a journal. Probably he was jealous
of his own written words. Perhaps he
thought he was the more a teacher, because
he was the les a writer. His reasons may
have been multifarious or single; whatever
they were Monsieur Del Sarte didn't write,
hexmly taught.
His Daughter His Hlography.
But he took Marie into his confidence;
what he knew she was told. If he was dis
couraged, she sympathized; if he was suc
cessful, she was glad. She was his journal,
his diary, and now that he is gone she ha3
become his biography his autobiography,
in fact and is repeating to us all what her
father wrote down years ago upon the pages
of her memory, or it may be, her brain.
But Monsieur Del Sarte talked to other
people besides his daughter somewhat. To
continue the simile of the diary he jotted
down things on stray pages. These went
on journeys here and there, landed in
America, where they began to make mis
chief. Del Sarte, had he seen an American
portrait of himself of several years
ago, would have thrown his hands
up in holy horror. It showed him
Tivaate.
rather badly put together and slightly
idiotic. Madame Del Sarte the diary
heard of all this, and she came over. It
would seem that the diary could talk bet
ter than the leaflets, for the diary is having
the last word, though it had the disadvan
tage to contend with of a foreign tongue.
And this is the storv the why and where
fore of Madame Del Sarte's American visit.
YUnt Madnmn Del Sarto Loots Like.
Her arrival in Pittsburg on Thursday was
followed by her first reception and talk
upon the same afternoon at Mrs. Schoon
maker'shouie, where she was immensely suc
cessful, being greeted bv as fine an audience
a was over collected for a similar purpose
in a private house in the city. Madame is a
magnificent looking woman"; what is gener
ally known as a success from her neck do n.
Her eyes ncll, it may have been Del
sartism, but I am inclined to think that
nature had more to do with them
than Del Sarte. They are magnificent, and
if common consent had not already de
clared her wondcrlully interesting, these eyes
undoubtedly have tnken cai e of Her. They

pressive though by no means handsome
tact-, excepting when it smiles. Then Mad
ame Hoi Sane is very beautilul.
OfnM that was taught at thetwo causeries,
nothing was ofmon Interestthan the triuno
principle a exemplified in tho various feat
ures of tho face and the attitudes of the
body. The following is a careful synopsis of
the theoiy as given by word ol mouth from
Madame Del Sarte herself:
"Let me give you a little theory Just for
a moment on underlying principles. My
lather made tho great discovery that nature
is triune in all her manifestations. There is
a unity of action and organization which
J las tff frw '
'K' wsLm T vlllf T

TV. rAINTER, ALIEGHENT.
runs through the whole ranee of being from
thewoiklngs of the Godhead down to the
life of the lowest animals. For Instance:
There are three fundamental positions which
nature lias given us for the oyesand the eve
brows. The eyes may he concentric that
Is, nearly closed eccentric, nearly open, or
normal. The brows also may be concentric
that is, rounded Into a frown; eccentric,
which means raided, or normal. Taking
these together we obtain nine combinations
of eyes and lirows, each one with its own
special significance, as portraying a condi
tion of the mind. So it is with hands, lips,
head, arms, voice everything."
Manifestations of Her Art.
For one position Madame DelSarte brought
down her black, finely marked eyebrows
into a deep frown. At the same time her
eyelids drooped, showing a double row of
silken lashes. This indicates mental dis
quietude, what she calls contention de 1'es
prit. Then, leaving the eyes drooping as
before, she allowed her brows to resume
their iiQrm.il position. Tills was diowsi
nes, or a condition of l'accabletncnt or
somnolence. The third position was one
Indicating scorn, Mepris, with concentrio
eyes, exactly as in the first two cases, but
w ith raised or eccentric brows. In the next
threo positions the eyes remiin normal,
while the brows are In succession normal,
concentric or eccentric, thus portraying
moroseness, calm ana inaincrence, tnese
being fourth, fifth and sixth positions of
the series. The last three are pro
duced with the eyes eccentric that is,
wide open and the brows changing
as before giving firmness, stupefaction and
astonishment. There's a special position, a
sort of a curtain call tuck, which you
needn't waste your valuable time trying to
imitate, as it islinpossible to obtain with
out immense trouble. In it tho brows are
raised slantingly over the temple, bnt re
main unmoved over the forehead. When
MadamoUelle wishes to be vivacious that
xs what she must do with her c es.
In acquiring all this the mirror plays a
big pai t, as everything must be done in tho
face of its criticising glance. Some people
accomplish more than others; a not uncom
mon thing, to be sure, ontside of the realms
of Delsartism.
At her lecture yesterday Madame briefly
recounted part of that delivered previously,
and then lollowcd a treat promised but
hardly expected, since it was known that
Madame is suffering from hoarseness. She
descended from the impromptu dais .ind
sat aowh at the piano, while a whisper,
"She is going to sing," quickly fol
lowed bv a hush, passed over the audi
ence. It would be hard to desciibe

in the singing, for though the singer has no
great compass, she brought In use shades

core as woman ever indulged in, Madame

consented to sing again. Both songs aro
nameless and were written, the first by her
father, and the second by her brother, and
are naively sentimental lyrics, such as
would most pronerly convey illustrations of
the famous Del Sarte throat cultivation.
The singing brouaht the causerie to an
end, and then Mrs. Schoonmaker an
nounced that guests would be introduced to
Madame DelSarte in thedrawingrootn. That
lady disappeared through one door, while
her auditors began to move the chairs away
as, in a body, they moved toward the other
apartments. A reception of three-quaiters
ot an hour in duration was held, during
which Madame received congratulationsand
compliments from everyone.
A little anecdote suffices to close, which
gives Madame away sadly. When the pict
uresque figure of Colonel Schoonmaker's
little son Jamie burst upon view, Madame
forgot she was the Del Sarte apostle and the
only living exponent of his system. Her
eye caught the practical leather knee caps
by which American mothers wrestle with
the problem of keeping their small sons and
daughters inside of their hosiery.
"Ah," exclaimed the French woman in a
voice indicative of the most poignant grief,
"if I had only known of these sooner, what
a lot of darning I might have been saved."

The reception and luncheon given by Mrs.

a large number of Sewickleyans, as well as
society neople from both cities. It was a de

Miss Helen White's fancy work party oc

A large delegation from town attended the
performance of "The Cricket on the Hearth"
in Sewickley on Thursday evening, and
many members of the Tuesday Night Club
were present.
Mrs. Allan Kirkpatrick, of Braddock,
entertained on last Wednesday a party of a
dozen ladies, who formed themselves into
an agreeable little clique more than two
years ago for card playing on an occasional
afternoon, lnterspered with luncheons and
teas. Thi9 luncheon Jnst past was a fare
well given by Mrs. Kirkpaenck, who will go

of Negley avenue. East End.
Everybody wno was at Choral Hall,
Sewickley, on Thursday evening, seems to
be of one mind as to the excellence of the
nerformanco of "Tho Cricket on the
Hearth," by the Valley Club. It is well
known that the actors in the cast undertook
the play with tear and trembling, and as
onoof them said they felt that they might
just as well have essayed "Hamlet." But
the outcome has shown that they weie over
diffident. The difficult but charming little
comedy was played with a finish and intelli
gence ihat would have been creditable to
professionals It was. enjoyed immensely by
an audience that was perhaps the largest
and most distinguished ever present at a
Valley Club performance. The JohnJ'errj
bingle of Mr. Carpenter was the best work he
has ever done, and the enrtatn call ho got
was well deserved. Mr. Richardson gave an
artistic icndering of Caleb Plummer, and he
showed praiseworthy iorbeatance in not at
tempting to imitate Joe Jefferson. Mrs.
Basett's Dot was a neat piece of acting,
and, tho Valley Club has a valuable
acquisition in her. Sertlia. in many
critics' opinion as hatd a part
as there is in the category to
which it belongs, was played by Miss
Anderson with, admirable caie. -An
especially clever part of her performance
was the simulation of the blind girl's stony
stare. Miss McCleeiy's makeup as TMy
Slouimy was a w ork of art. for she sacrificed
looks and Cress to produce a picture of
slatternly girlhood. Mr. Tuto had a larger
opportunity than he has had before, and he
made a hit as tho uncompromisingly ill
natured toymaker Tackleton. In the smaller
roles Mis. Bell, Miss Brner and Mr. Kim
ball were very satisfactory. The scenery
and stage setting were ns good as usual,
thanks to the care of Miss Nellie Dravo, Mrs.
Burrows, Mrs. Colin Reed and Mr. and Mrs.
James Chaplin.
A marriage has been arranged between
.Miss Annie-Allison Smith and Mr. William

The entertainment committee Is making
rapid progress in its preparations for the De
partment Encampment. Of the two camp
fires to be hold one will be in Old City Hall
and the other in Carnegie Hall, Allegheny,
both being on the evening of Wednesday
the 24th. Eminent speakers from all parts
of the State will be present and. In addition,
Commander in Chief John Palmer, of Al
bany, N.Y., will bo here and will speak,
probably, at both camnflres. The campflre
In Old City Hall will bo a memorable meet
ing. It will be the first representative
gathering here of old soldiers who fought in
the East and West since thev were enter
tained In this very hallby the old Subsistence
Committee in the dark days of the Rebellion.
This fact alone will cause tonbound reminis
cences of tho time when the soldier boys
were so rojally treated as they passed
throngh Pittsburg. It is tho intention of
the Entert-iinment Committee to have a
representative from the old Subsistence
Committee present to receive theboysin
the name of the committee.
Another notable use to which Old City
Hall was put and which will be broueht to
mind nt the campflre. was the meeting there
in September, 1S6K one veir after the close
of the war of the boys in blue. This was
tho first rnthering out of which grew the
feeling which resulted in the organization
of the Grand Army of the Republic. This Is
Juwritten history.
Pout 88's KeceptlDi.
Post 88 held its annual family reunion last
Thursday evening, and at the same time
tendered a reception to the ladles and gen
tlemen who assisted the post in the presen
tation of tho "Fill of Atlanta" at the Opera
House last March. It was an exceptlonably
enjoyable affair, and everybody seemed In
the mood to enjoy him or herself to the
fullest extent. The comrades and their
families old and young with the members
of the "Fall of Atlanta" cast, gathered in
the Cyclorama Auditorium, Allegheny,
which largo building did not seem at all
crowded by the 700 or more persons present.
Post flags, bunting in profusion and patri
otic mottoes'were used to decorate the hall,
and it looked beantifnl.
The young people and some old ones, too
danced to the music of the G. A. B. Or
chestra. When supper was announced the
tables presented a beautiful sight, but the
gay company soon saw that the practical
superseded the beautiful. The members of
the cast occupied the place of honor at the
head table. Everybody was delighted with
everything, and "the affair was a success
throughout. Much credit is dno the old and
now chairmen of the Entertainment Com
mittee. Comrades H. O. C. Oehmler and
Charles F. Sherriff.
Pension Office Annoyances,
Great annoyance is occasioned Pension
Agent Bengough and his assistants by the
persistency or the old soldiers who have
"lost their grip" insisting upon signing their
names to their vouchers Instead of making
their mark. This occasions delay to the
pensioner also, as, in scores of cases, the
vouchers have to be sent back for better
signatures. Anothor source or great annoy
ance and delay botn to the pension office
and to tho pensioner is tho carelessness or
ignorance of country magistrates in
executing vouchers. Omissions are often
made especially the postofHce ad
dress which necessitates the holdine of
the vouchers nntil pensioners complain of
not receiving checks. Plain Instructions are
printed on each voucher as to what is
needed. , ,
Another thing should be born In mind by
pensioners: If payment is desired at the
Pension Office, the pensioner's certificate
must be on file there. Thoso who have their
vouchers sent by mail must have them exe
cuted by a magistrate in their vicinity, send
it by mail to tho Pension Office and receive
their check by mall. This is a rule which
must be observed.
Tne death rate among pensioners was
larger last quarter "than ever before. This
is discovered by tho return of checks with
the report that the addressees are dead.
