THE BESIDEJJCE OF
The event of the put -week recall a ttorr
told about Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., when
she lived In Pittsburg, and Jimmie was a
journalist Mrs. Blaine, sometimes, used
to try her hand also at writing for the pa
pers, when the chirography is said to have
paved the way to hades for many a poor
compositor. A man once described it ax
being a cross between the "high-shouldered"
boarding school characters and his sister's
writing, and hers, he said, "was the worst
he had ever seen." One ni?ht a special,
came from Mrs. Blaine that was unsigned
as usual. A few minutes later there was a
burst of profanity heard at one of the cases,
a dead silence and then a repetition ot
Biblical words with a new application.
This state of things was continued, layer
about, until an editor, going by, stopped
and demanded an explanation.
"What's the matter with this?" said he,
with his eyes twinkling; for he had been all
through the matter a few minutes previous;
"why, it's as easy as mud."
Then he read off a paee, for, in fact, once
you understood its illegibility Mrv Blaine's
writing was really not so bad. "That's not
such bad writing for a lady," went on the
gentleman. "A lady," ejaculated the print
ers, "That's no lafiy's writing, is it?" "The
assurance from him that it was, the gallant
compositor, mournfully shaking his head,
said, "Well, I suppose, I'll have to try and
set it up without saving one word." He
kept his word, but it was at the expense of
numerous sighs.
For the benefit of non-residents who wish
to be present on Tuesday night at the
Bewickley Valley Club's presentation of
"The Ladies' Babble," they are informed
that the most convenient trains are: 7:16
from the Fort Wayne station, Allegheny,
and 10.30 Sewickley station. This last is
usually held a few minutes for the accommo
dation of visitors returning to town.
The leap year ball on Friday night wa a
delightful afiair, reflecting much credit on
the smart young women, Miss Hayes and
Miss Watson, who carried the management
on their own fair shoulders. The favors for.
the four figures were very pretty. The ger
man was successfully led by Miss Nina
King, Miss Rhodes, Miss Watson and Mrs.
SewelL The society world was well repre
sented. Miss Julia Watson has reappeared after
(he regulation period of mourning and has
become once more the recipient of many
social attentions. On the national holiday
last Monday Mrs. W. G. Park gave a din
ner in her honor, to which there sat down
Miss Frances Marshall, Miss Bailie Bicket
son, Miss Sadie Stewart, Mr. McClintock,
Mr. Brown, Mr. Page, Mr. Frank Denny
and Mr. Bussell Forsyth. '
Mr. Dawson Speer's marriage to Mia
Taylor, of Baltimore, will be performed in
April. There will be little formality about
it, and a studied simplicity observed, as
Miss Taylor's family are at present in
mourning.
Two nuptials set for this week are the
marriage of Mr. House and Miss Little on
Tuesday evening, March 1, and that of Miss
Mason and Mr. Carl Wilhelm on the same
evening. The first is a house lnnction; the
second takes place in Calvary Church, at 7
o'clock.
With two leap year balls in one season,
young society women are beginning to
realize that it costs their men friends some
thing to do the proper thing as escorts.
There won't be so much grumbling here
after; for the fair feminine creature has dis
covered that trifles cost .more than they
make a show for. However, the girls were
a bit more generous than the men have
been of late. They looked after the various
accessories with an old-time heartiness that
has not been seen here for many a day. It is
said that the managers of the last leap year
ball are in it to the extent of $1,000, and
that there is a resultant scare, at which
the men are quietly smiling. If the
worst comes to the worst and pin and
bonton money gives ont it is known that
these same hardhearted men will come to
the rescue, and consequently the girls are
inclining to take thing a "little easy. A
little laughter has been caused by the fact
that every man was obliged to pay a couple
of cents more for invitations. Of course a
woman can never realize that Uncle Sam
charges more thin 2 cents for looking after
one envelope.
The visit of Paul du Chaillu, the eminent
writer and traveler, to Sewickley last Fri
day is likely to be remembered there very
gratefully for a long time. In addition to
lecturing in the regular course at the Pres
byterian Church to a large and distin
guished audience in the evening, he found
time in the morning to deliver an informal
talk about Sweden and Korway to the
"Vikings Daughters," a literary club of
Sewickiev ladies, in the parlor of Mn, M.
L C. Graff The talk formed a delightful
supplement to the valuable letters with
which Mr. I?u Chaillu favored the club last
winter when it was studying Sweden and
Norway. The deep interest taken bv Mrs.
Graff and the Vikings Daughters in Mr. Da
Chaillu's books "The Viking .Age" and
The Land of the Midnight Sun," ren
dered the meeting of author and readers
very pleasant The lecture in the evening
was also highly successful. Mr. Anderson
entertained Mr. Du Chaillu while in Se
wickley. , Miss Sadie Stewart's "reception in con
junction with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Jack
Stewart, of Homewood, on Tuesday even
ing was among the most agreeable of the
ilater seasonable affairs. Mrs. David A.
Stewart, Mrs. Lucy Cramer and Miss Hay
formed the remainder of the receiving
party. Young Mrs. Stewart's gown was
white and gold. Miss Sadie Stewart wore a
white silk frock trimmed with ostrich
feathers and her mother a black silk toilet,
richly trimmed in jet The decorations
were superb. The four figures of the co
tillon were led by Mr. A Garrison McClin
tock, Mr. A. P. Burgwin and Mr. Wynn
B. SewelL The favors were among the
daintiest to be seen in winter that has pro
vided many such beautiful things.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kirke Porter and
Miss Hegeman have decided to pass the
summer in the south of Europe, and princi
pally in Greece, where Mrs. Porter has a
relative learned in archaeology, who Vccn
pies an important post in a Greek college.
Everybody doesn't know that Lent is the

great theater-going period in society. There
are no parties; because that would be con
spicuous; but a young man may take his
best girl and her chaperone or goalone with
her, as is generally done in Pittsburg.
Dinner giving and afternoon teas, too, are
already on the tapis. Modern society per
mits great liberty in Lent, but it must be a
circumspect gayety, and I am told it is
sometimes the sortbest liked by young peo
ple. The love affairs of the season, also,
usually blossom into engagements during
-the religious period of the fast; or else cut
offby an early death. The forecast for the
coming six weeks is that of a remarkably
quiet condition of affairs.
Three score young people attended an in
formal reception last evening at the resi
dence of Mrs. Mitchell, on Denniston ave
nue. They spent the major portion of
several pleasant hours in discussing and
practicing their postures in the artistic re
presentations of living pictures that are to
be given at New Orpheus Hall on 'March 7
and 8 under the auspices of the Young
Ladies Foreign Missionary Society . ot
Emory M. E. Church. This "is only one of
several rehearsals that have taken place dur
ing the past two weeks and on next Saturday
evening a grand dress afiair will occur
in the hall. For an entertainment of this
nature, this is attracting an unusual amount
ofattentionattheEast End, probably be
cause it is well known that the amount pf
talent and beautv to nsrtieinate is excentirn-
ak Then there is to be another feature in
the shape of a novel Colonial reception, at
which many of the ladies will preside in
costumes iasmonea alter tne style or a cen
tury or so ago. There is every evidence
that the whole afiair will be one of ths suc
cesses of the season.
Mrs. David Pollock Blaok and Mrs. Fred
erick Gebhard Fricke, of Boulevard place,
receive on Thursday, March 3, from 1 to 4
Fancywork. .
Miss Julia Watson will be hostess at a

Club, given for Mrs. Oliver Garrison

At her reoeptloa on Thursday afternoon
Mrs. John a Porter for Miss Geyer, of
Washington, was assisted in receiving by
her daughter, Miss Porter. The hostess
wore black silk and diamonds; Miss Geyer,
who is one of the season's debutantes at the
capital, was in a pale blue silk gown, and
Miss Porter's dress was vellow brocade with
pearl trimmings. Mrs." W. L. Smith pre
sided over the chocolate and the
coffee was poured out by Miss Arm
strong. The guests were served at tinv
tables, accommodating two or three people
only, an innovation that will commend:iself
to everybody who has experienced a large
afternoon crush. The prevailing color of
the decoration was pink, La France roses
forthat purpose beings used in great pro
fusion. Toerge's oroJ5etrplayea in a con
cealed comer. A bevy of bright, pretty
girls presided over the lemonade and made
It one of the most attractive adjunct of an
exceedingly agreeable function.
The lady parishoners of Xmmunal
Church will remember Shrove Tuesday In a
pleasant fashion by a tea given in the parish
building, the end and aim of which will be
to reimburse the treasury to the amount of
a new carpet for the church. The ladies
promise many attractions. Of these there
will be a miniature dog .show, composed of
the youthful contents -of -Mr. Blair Paint
'er's kennel, the finest sofa cushions on
record and lamp shades of the
most harmonious. A pink hue will
be obtained by a judicious use
of the color in the decorations and hangings.
Over all this will preside Mrs. Wynn kB
Sewell.Mrs. John S. Dickson,Mrs. Darling

Little remains to be said of the Depart
ment Encampment There never was a
more enjoyable and successful meeting of
the Pennsylvania Department The visiting
comrades said they were never treated
better.. Profuse praise is being given the
Citizens' Executive Committee by the com
rades for the way In which the details for the
banquet were arranged. The visiting com
rades had no complaint to make in regard to
their entertainment while here. However,
they fear that a bad precedent has been set
by the Pittsburg citizens because the repre
sentatives to future encampments may look
for as elaborate entertainment as they re
ceived here.
There were not sufficient of the unique
badges to go around. The committee at Its
meeting next week will order an additional
supply and they will be sent by mail
to the delegates who received none.
The trustees of the Erie Soldiers' Home
were almost unanimously sustained by the
encampment in withholding 80 per cent of
the pensions of inmates for the use of mem
bers of the pensioner's family. A long and
spirited discussion took place on this
question, andj after all the facts were
before the delegates everybody seemed
satisfied that the action was for
the best Interests of all concerned.
The eneamnment unanimously indorsed a
resolution denouncing the Society or Volun
teers recently organized in Washington.
The sentiment was that the pension laws
now In force are the result of the best judg
ment of the best legislators, and that the
Encampment was In favor of all existing
pension laws and of broadening their force.
The Citizens'&Committee held a meeting
yesterday morning and approved all bills
for the banquet, and requested Mayor Gour
ley, treasurer . or the fund, to draw checks'
lor the same. The balance or the fund was
directed to be turned over to Comrade A
P, Burebfleld, .Chairman of the Committee
on Entertainment of the Encampment This
'money is to go toward making up the de
ficiency in tne aeDt or tne u. A. a. commit
tee Tor the expenses of the encampment An
auditing committee, consisting of W. B,
Thompson, W. H. Keech and W. H. Graham
waB appointed. When the audit of the ac
count is completed a statement of the con
trlbutions and expenses will be sent to each
contributor. The Allegheny County G. A
B. Executive Committee will meet in the
Pension office next Friday ror the purpose
or settling up all affairs connected with the
encampment; After this, notice will be for
warded to all the post commanders assem
bllng the General Committee lor the year of
1893.
The visiting comrades are lavish In their
praise of the magnificent work of Comrade
Frank Calhoun as officer of the day of the
encampment. His systematic work and the
soldierly manner in which he acquitted him
self won the applause of all.
