i. 12 THE HTTSBXJRG DJBPATOH. ' SUNDAY, JUNE 5. 189&- "" n EESIDENCB OF 1183. F. II. MAGEE. The proper thing fer everyone to do last veek J mean everyone who wears a capi tal was to put on her best frock and go out before luncheon to hear Jane Meade "Welsh lecture. Miss "Welsh ii a young woman with a mission. This modern, and what might be termed, moral article of ap parel in Hiss "Welsh's case is a desire to make American women good subjects of their country, by transforming them into Intelligent ones. Hiss Welsh talks from a sofa, they say, perchance Cowper-like on an appallingly ponderous subject. At one time onr girls would have fainted at the thought of the American Constitu tion, not to mention the reality of it But doubtless, the present regime ot tennis, walking, cycling, rid ing, boating, etc., has something to do with the fact that mademoiselle no longer knuckles under. Farther, she picks up the history of her country with no more ceremony than she does her racquet, but, like it, always with grace, and proceeds to strike straight from the elbow with pre cision and marvelous execution. To make the historical fad complete there is but one thing wanting. "Why, if there are tennis toes," riding "habits," boating "suits," and wheel "costumes," what is to prevent women wearing a. special history frock? It might take the form of a college gown and trenchers; the gown to be of any color that would please the Hearer's fancy, and the mortar board have a lining to set cfi the face below it. Then there might be a dainty pocket lost in the folds of the gown or better, let it be in some conspicuous place, from which, to be absolutely correct, there should protrude a Russia leather bound American history, special edition of a few copies, uncut edges and other similar elegancies Moreover let it be called after the founder of the new cult, the Jane Meade Welsh frock, and which of us will sot beg to be a disciple? A short review of the week is in order just to remind the people since it is nearly too warm for them to recollect for thems elves what they have been doing, where they have been going and what they may have missed. The weddings were equally divided between out of and in town. A party of Pittsburgers were in the Easterly In the week for the marriage of Christopher Hagee, Jr., and Miss Heberton at Bridge town, N. J., on "Wednesdav evening, among the gnests being the bridegroom's family and Mrs. Max MooVhead. The marriage of Mr. Charles Howell and Miss Norman tak ing place in Monongahela City drew largely from Pittsburg attendants at the ceremony. But excuse an interpolation which the ex igencies of the case call forth 1 The rumor is that one bridegroom last week had a tussle with his collar, of such duration and obstinacy, as almost to stand In the way of his getting married in good time if not to prohibit it absolutely. He ruined two collars in an endeavor to keep collar and finally in despair rushed into a third one onlv after the bride had becun she march to the altar. For some moments there was a medley of collar, neck, button, button bole and hands besides a storming, stamp ing, voluble bridegroom, and there encased in a temporary -arrangement the gentleman walked forth ai cool as If he had been kept on ice between the time of the engagement and that of the marriage. , Other weddings last week were the ceremonies joining together Miss Holmes and Mr. Charles Moore, of Chicago; Miss Harriet Wilson, of Iieetsdale, and Mr. Patterson, of Sewickley, and Miss McCrory and Dr. Ritchey. Fhilanthropically speaking, the anni versary at the Home for Aged Protestants was the event of last week." Between the readers and the lamp-post it wasbvnomeans ks successful as it might be. What the reason is conld not be easily explained, but doubtless people are be ginning to think that part of town too far away to trouble going. Evidently the time will come when our women must systema tize their charitable dispositions and com press them into works comprised in insti tutions immediately at their own doors. Onr charities thenlike If ew York friend chips, will depend entirely upon topograph ical and geographical situation. (Some other interesting notes are: The announce ment of Mrs. Jarvis Adams' "at home" on Tuesday, the engagement of Miss Kate Perrine, the reception to Dr. and Mrs. Arundel, of Trinity Church; the farewell to Dr. aud Mrs. Purves, of the First Pres byterian Church; Mrs. Bissell's reception for Mrs. Russell, of Sit Vernon, O., and Mrs. Orwig, of Mansfield, and the after noon reception and tea on Thursday and Friday next to present the new annex of the Homeopathic Hospital to the public. The intelligence that Princess Marie of Edinburgh is betrothed to the Crown Prince of Boumania recalls a little incident in which that yonng lady figured with one of her grandmother's subjects. A couple of young men traveling from Havre to Dover found time hang rather heavily upon their hands until they fell in with three very pretty girls somewhere about 14, 16 and 18 respectively. They were iu charge of an elderly woman, who might have been any thing from a governess to a poor relation. However, she was no ogre, and the girls were permitted to do nearly as they pleased. They looked at the young men (who were not bad to look upon), the young men . looked at them, and then both sides looked again, aud so on until there were some smiles. This was as far as things could ad vance, as the duenna as well as a big collie kept the young gentlemen afar off. Never theless, as far as smiles and looks and that delightfully vague thing known as a general understanding could, they were all fast friends and warm admirers. Upon the boat landing at Dover, the young men were much perplexed to see two lines of soldiers drawn up on the pier and a host of curious people craning their necks in search ot something or some one. Then the whisper went round that the three pleasant pretty fellow voyagers were Prince Alfred's daughters on their way home from a continental school, and that the turnout was in their honor. The two men . collapsed, and while all else were showing their loyalty according to their individual tastes, the young fellows sat chewing their mustaches and did not eves dare to wave their handkerchiefs, " , tical head to con the monthly reports of the Fruit and Flower Mission for, say the past couple of years, and do a few sums in addi tion, and then publish the result for the amazement of the public. Some day I may do it myself, but from the prodigious nature of the reports, as they have passed under my hands, I fear the task is too heavy, ex cept for one whose leisure begins January 1 and ends December 3L Sometimes it would be a relief to erring human nature to see the Fruit and Flower Mission fail in its re port, just that one might feel justified in thinking it less superhumanly persevering and less a model Take the following, the published account of the work iu May, and remember that this is only a twelfth part of the work of the societv In a year, and tee if you will not feel as I do, like crawling into some hole and pulling the hole after me, for my poor carpings at people for miserable, uncharitable bodies. During the past four weeks this is what the society dis tributed: 164 dozen oranges, 149 dozen lem ons, 100 dozen bananas, 5t0 bonquets, 61 quarts of strawberries, besides papers and magazines. These gifts were made to the Allegheny General, St Francis, Homeo pathic, Southside, Mercy and West Penn hospitals and the Society for the Improve ment of the Poor.

The ceremony will be performed at Mrs. MifHin's house, North Hope, Butler county, this Sta'e. The Miffln's are a well-known county iamily, the widowed mother of the bride, being the relict of the Hon. K. A. Mifflin, who at the time or his ileath was a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature. The in tei est in the weddinir is intensified by the fact that another daughter. Miss Lily May, will also celebratn her nuptials at the same hour, with John Franklin Befeart, of Kew York. The two sisters am the same age and friends Bay it Is difficult to distinguish between them. ir this be the case, it is to be hoped that there will bnno contietemps at thenltar, and that Mr. Beisart will set the young lady of his choice and not unwittinelr rob Mr. Bnyder of his selection. Mr. Iteleart is tutor ot psychology in the New York Training School for Teachers. He will sail with bis wife for Europe three davs after the wed ding.
