T 12 THE PITTSBURG DISPATQH. SUKPAT. . M4.T 29. 1892, t "ir - - r '-. " ' "7. -" -'-5-r- t" ;?, ( KESIDESCE OF ItOBEET C. ELLIOTT, IIIGIILAND AVEXUE. The success of "Diplomacy" Friday night was unmistakable. The Tuesday Xiglit Club has reaon to be proud of its work in this most subtle ot comedies, for its delica cies of tbading were brousrbt out in a way that could hardly have been expected of lcs than a professional cast Tlie efforts of the club at the Duquesne Theater were enjoyed by as large and brilliant an audi ence as ever sat in a Pittsburg theater. It teemed as it everybody was there, and everybody was pleased. The Tuesday ICight Club comprises in its mem bership some of the cleverest nmatcurs in this State, and there is really 110 limit to the possibilities of the club. The advantage of giving the performance in the beautiful Duquesne Theater, with all the stage accessories at hand, can hardly be oveiestimated. The cast seemed to be per fectly at home amid its professional sur roundings, and the best nse was made of the inanimate helps to a good performance. The laying aside of bonnets almost generally was a pleasant clement of the occasion. The auditorium looked prettier than it could if bonnets were worn, no matter how hand some they were, and the view of those in the rear seats was much better than is usually the case. Perhaps the ex perience of Friday night may lead to a determination in the feminine mind of Pittsburg to abjure bonnets at the professional theatrical entertainments dur ing the regular reason, 'lis a consumma tion devoutly to be wished. beveral luncheons and dinners were given ir I'ittsbure last week, most ot them in honor of that poDular young bride, Mrs. J. L. Dan son Speer. The luncheon by Sirs. Charles E. Speer, to which about 40 guests were invited, w as one of the most elaborate. The house in Craft avenue was almost lull of flowers, roses and lilies-of-the-val-ley, set against a cool background of ferns artistically arranged. The bride liad an opportunity on this occasion of meet ing a number of the most prominent society people ot the two cities, among whom were: Mrs. A. E. VT. Painter, Mrs. John Speer, Mrs. D. T.

Trincess Metter nirh, who has taken such an active interest in promoting the exhibition, the other day asked the ladies of the exhibition commit tee to appear in the avenue between the rotunda and the theater every Friday be tween 4 and 0 in their very finest clothes. The ladies of Vienna have responded in an ex traordinary manner to this call, and the exhibition Corso if it continues as it has begun will, it is said, be one of the sights of Vienna. The first day of the Corso, Princess Metternich wore a modest costume ef Pckin silk and a black lace mantle, her Jnce framed by a small black velvet bonnet as if to mark that as, in a tense, the lady of the house she could afford" to dress simply. She was surrounded by the immediate staff of the exhibition committee. Countess Kielmansegge, wife ot the Governor of Lower Austria, very small aud dainty, with the face and dark hair of Japanese beauty, wore tan and violet, the colors of an ex quisite toilet.
