THE PITTSBUKG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23. 389a
There was a gcod armful nf weddings
during the past week which were, in point
of fasbionablo importance, more or less
worthy of note. One of the prettiest, which
was characterized by quiet taste and absence
of display, was that o! Miss Adelaide Paul
son and Mr. .Taiics Aiken Gricr, Tuesday
evening, at the North Presbyterian Church,
.Allegheny.
A quiet ceremony on "Wednesday united
the lites of Mis-i Martha Austin, daughter
of tbe late John Graham, of "Washington,
Pa., and Mr. George JU Acheson, Fon of
Judge Acheron, of Shadyside. Kev. James
L. Itronnson, V. I)., officiated. After a
trip East the couple will livo in a hand
some new house close to the residence of
the groom's father on Amberson avenue.
A welcome addition to society in this
city will be the bride of Mr. John J. Law
rence, whose marriage was celebrated
"Wednesday evening in Cincinnati. The
bride, who i a Bister of Mrs. Durbin
Home, was Miss Clara Louise Andrews,
daugnter of Mrs. A. "W. Andrews. Bev.
"Wiliam Turner, of Baltimore, brother-in-law
of the groom, assisted by Kev. Frank
"Woods, rector ol St. Paul's Church, Cincin
nati, performed the ceremony. The bride
is said to be a charming girl and comes
from an old Cincinnati laniily. She is very
popular in the most exclusive social set of
that city. After a trip East, Mr. and Mrs.
Lawrence will live in a pretty honse at
Shadyside, the gift of the groom's father,
Mr. John J. Lawrence, one of Pittsburg's
well-known citizens.
The social event of the week at Roches
ter was tbe marriage of Miss Laura Shal
lenberger to the Bev. Earl Fenton Palmer,
pastor of the Baptist Church at New Castle.
Among the weddings of the coming week
will be those of Miss Marion Giddings and
Dr. J. AV. IJobcson, at Calvary Church, and
that of Miss Laura Henrietta Hoene to Mr.
Edward Hartje, in Trinity Lutheran
Church, Allegheny.
"What a robust scrap book the girl of the
period must have if she saves all the pretty
tbings that are said about her in newspa
pers, say from the time of ner coming out
ball until about a year or so after her mar
riagel However much she may rave about
being "Kept so constantly before the eyes
of the public," there is not the slightest
doubt but that she cuts out every line that
u wnura aooat ner in tnose noma news
papers" and arranges them carefully in a
dookt, ana mat tne same boot iinds an hon
ored place among her dearest treasures.
First of all, there are innumerable sur
mises among her friends as to when she
will "come out" They have to De pub
lished, and when she does come out a full
account ot her appearance, disposition, ac
comphshents, etc., has to be given. Then,
of course, she is dined, teaed, Iuncheoned,
theatered, carried abroad, perhaps, and back
again, all of which receives due notice, and
accorsiingly"'lh&-efssors are brought to bear
upon the case. But not until she becomes
engaged can she be said to make any great
headway in her scrap book making.
To cut a long storyshon, if she is a pop
ular girl, by the time she has collected nil
that is said about her irom the announce
ment of her engagement until she is home
lrom her welding trip and has received all
over again the dinners, teas; etc.. it will be
eeen that the fair maiden's book will have
grown to a good healthy size.
It is not ery startling news to say that
times have changed since our grandmothers'
days, but in those times a young woman's
social career was given about four lines of
"paid matter" in a newspaper. That was
the notice of her marriage, and then her
husband's name took up part of the space.
Mf. "Wilson McCandless has rented her
residence on Stockton avenue, Allegheny,
and has taken up winter quarters at the
Monongahela House.
There will be more than a social interest
centered in the Eiviera tea at tbe residence
of Mrs. Joseph Dilworth next Thursday
atternoon. That beautiful charity, the
Children's Hospital, is to be benefited bv
tbe entertainment, and where is the woman
who dees not feel her heart stirred to the
core by the thought of being able to do
komething for tbe little sufferers who are
taken care of in the bright, cheerful home
on the reen hill on Forbes street? The
Board of Mnnagen. hav issued a limited
number of invitations, because ii would be
impossible to receive all who would like to
take part in the entertainment at Mrs. Dil
worth'n mansion, commodious as it K
There is no doubt that eery invitation will
be used. Besides the pleasure of drinking
a cup ot tea in congenial society, there will
be that ol listening to a paper on "The
Biviera," to be read by Mrs. "Strong Vin
cent. The Misses Kirk, of Darrah street, Oak
land, leave this week for New York City,
where they will remain during the winter.
A wedding that will doubtless be one "of
the largest and most pretentious of the sea
son is to come off after the Lenten time in
Sew York. It will be that of Miss Maud
Lorillard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pierre
Lorillard, and Mr. T. Suflern Tailer, whose
engagement was announced at Tuxedo last
"Wednesday. The couple are among the
lortunate lew who possess youth, beauty,
wealth and are inclosed in the select circle
of 2few York's four hundred.
The latest engagement announced is that
of Miss Arthurs, only daughter of Mrs.
Biddle Arthurs, and Dr. B. M. Hanna.
The Art Society is to be congratulated on
having taken up the matter of thanking
Mr. Carnegie once more for his munificent
gilt of a public library to the city of Pitts-'
burg. It is not 10 dc supposed that JNlr.
Carnegie needed any assurance that Puts
burg was gratelu! to him for his interest in
her artistic welfare, but the action ot the
Art Society in passing resolutions to that
ctiect last week was a graceful act, notwith
standing. Mr. "William H. Findley, of Greenville,
P.u, is the guest of Mrs. Samuel D. Hubley,
ol North Avenue, Allegheny.
A dainty wedding last week was that of
Miss Linnie McKce and Mr. Beynolds

The local militia made a very pretty dis

while the ranks were a trifle thin, the men
looked exceedingly neat and clean and
matched ell. It was the first time the

the militia with the latest pattern of small
atmsanu bieech-londing rifled field guns.
He also recommends the organization of

waidlng their reports, and as a consequence
tbe lists of qualided must tench his office by
November 8, or the scores tailing to do so
will be tin on n out. General inspectors
must toport not later than Novum ber i. Tho
number of mark.imen In the State this year
will probably run considerably ahead of last

Wedding Presents.
It is a pernlexin question to many per
sons on the marriage of thqir Iriends as to
what they shall givo them. And tno ques
tion is not easily answered by remaining at
home thinking about it. Tlio light way
to do is to go where a variety 01 goods 1
kept suitable for wedding gifts To such an
establishment a visit was paid yesterday,
and while the variety of -goods displajed 'is
almoss endlessvyet the benuty, utility nnd
appiopriuteuess of so many articles makes
the question of choosing comparatively
easy. We will enumerate a lew things:
First was seen a fine display of banquet
lamps. One that wo particularly admired
was a figure of Cupid in satin sliver holding
a bowl of tllagiee work in gold. The base o.
tho llguie was also In gold and the whole
stirmountod with a beautiful sillc shade.
Others ery pretty In design weie of onyx
mid gold, onyx and sllvei.etc. In this de
partment there is also a large assortment or
piano aud Tuso lumps in almost oery con
ceivable shape and style.
Every bride nowadays is supposed to have
a china cabinet. What,'tben, could be more
appiopriate than a nice dinner set. Here
wo saw a great variety in Hnvilahd, Ponyat,
Gnerlu, Vienna, and 'we don't know what
other makes, all beautiful in shapes and
decorations; also flsli sets, game sets, meat
sets, Ice sets. There was Just opened ular.o
shipment, direct Horn Limoges, consisting
or exquisite fruit plate?, salads, comports,
pudding sets, olivutras, celery trays, etc,
all in the latest decorations.
In biic-a-brac on have an immense nrray
to choose Horn, consisting of Koval Wor
cester, Doulton, Old Hall, Bonn, etc., and as
these goods aie all diiect Horn the factories,
yuu will see the latest modelings aud deco
rations. 1 hen for the buffet or dining table,
what bride does not appreciate rich cue
glass fruit bowls, puncu bowls, carafes,
pittheis, decanter-, celery trays, oliva
dishes, oil bottles, toilet bottles.
Flo iv it tabes and bowis go to make up
this ery lnteiesting exhibit.
A long lino oi beautiful decorated cham
ber sets is also quite a leatuie of tbe stock.
We have enumerated but a fexr of the
ai ticles von have to chooso lrom, but call uc
Cavitt, Pollock & Co.'s, No. 935 Penn avenue,
and see if we aie not correct in saying that
they have something to suit every taste and
purse. Their elegant show looms aie only
a few doors lrom Ninth street.

This eminent physician ACTUALLY writes as follows:
"From the careful analyses of Professor Atttield and others, I am satisfied that Messrs.

The quotations in certain advertisements from my book on Therapeutics are quite mislead

The false reflection on Van Houten's Cocoa it thus effectually repelled and the very au
