If marriage is a failure, a very unsuccess
fal -week has just come to a close. There
were jnore weddings in Pittsburg and Alle
gheny last week than during any other six
days of 1S92. There wejeso many -weddings
that the supply of "best men" and
bridesmaids ran short, and the same young
men and maidens were called upon to act
at more than one weddire during the week,
In these times a wedding must have the
proper anxilliariej or it is not satisfactory
to the friends of the principals, which is
one of the main points of consideration in
the modern marriage ceremonies. So the
eligible young men-anrf maidens who make
a good figure in church or parlor, and who
ore good natnred and billing to see their
friends take the important step that they
know may be their fate at some time, have
bee n in great request, and have been com
pelled during the week to do double duty.
A pretty idea in fall v-eddmgs is using the
chrysanthemum :n decorating the house and
church, and, in tome cases, for the bouquet
carried by the bride. The Japanese im
perial mossom is grand enough to be ucd
in the most important c;remonies of life,
and surely there is none more important
than a wedding.
"We are promised almost as many 2Tovcra.
ber weddings as we had in October. Among
them are the Jones-Dalzell, on the 16th;
Humphreys-Stephenson, on the 10th; JIc-Kee-Sutton,

Adams,Grandview,Shadyside,will be under
the direction of Miss S. H. Kilhkelly and

be for the benefit of the nurses' dormitory
of the Homeopathic Hospital, and will be
carried out by a number "of leaders of Pitts
burg society. It is expected that some
brilliant toilets v ill be seen, a number of
ladies who will attend having allowed it to
leak out that tbey will appear in some of
the daintiest creations of the dressmaker's
art, made or imported specially for the oc
casion. Mrs. Josian Cohen has consented
to render a oianoforte solo, and it is there
fore certain that a treat is in store for all
lovers of music. Chocolate, coffee, ice
cream and oysters will be dispensed by the
iair hands of some ot the ladies interested,
and it is expected that a large sum will be
realized lrom these sources, as well as Irom
the sale of tickets. Among those wbo will
be on the musical programme betides Mrs.
Ol'en are Mrs. Celestia McDonald. Mrs.
"Win. P. "Wolie, Mrs. A. Israel, Mrs. Mau
rice Coster, Mrs. Tranz Schmeideke, the
noted barpiste lrom tiie Bremen Grand
Opera House; Miss Mary Baiikerd.Mr.Wm.
B. EJards and Mr. r. 3. Bussman. This

and Mrs. T. B. Bobbins, Vice Presidents;
Jiri. George L. McCoy, Secretary; Mrs. II .
E. Collins, Treasurer, while the Board of
Managers comprises the names ot most of
the prominent society ladies of Pittsburg.
Autumn leaves are being pressed into the
service of fall brides. VTe talk about June
roses for June weddings, but it must be
allowed that autumn leaves for autumn
weddings are quite as beautirul. as well as
appropriate. At an out-of-town wedding of
las't week a bridal couple stood under a
canopy of autumn leaves ot reds, browns,
yellows ana greens. The effect is said to
have been indescribably lovely.
Superstition is not fashionable in these
practical days, aud yet how many a maiden
will to-morrow night be tempted to try
some of the charms tlia are supposed to
bring to her earthly gaze the spiritual
presentment of her hi-sbaud-that-is-to-be!
There is a sweet fascination about
"All Hallow E'en that is iiresistible, no
matter how one may fi.;Iit against it. Tnere
will be the delightful drawing arouud
the wide fireplaces, with nuts and apples,
and all the fun that is usually attendant
upon parties on the 31st of Octobsr. It is
stated in old book of English folk fore that
a lime kiln is a useful agent in finding out
the name of a luture husband. The charm
is worked in this wise: It a made would
know ve name of ve man she is to raarrie,
let her, on All Hallow E'en, steal out to a
Jime kiln and throw in a clue of blur yarn,
still holding ye other end. Presently ye
end in ye kiln will be sharply pulled. Thee
ye mayde must say, "Who hold?" Where
upon ye voice of her future husband will
pronounce his name both ye Christian and
eurname. There mav not De any lime kilns
in Pittsburg, but if they are needed for
such an important purpose as this, ho
doubt they will be forthcoming. Maidens
in Pittsburg are not to be kept outoTsucb.
a.deljghtful secret as the names of their
matrimonial fatc by the timple objection
of a scarcity ot lime' kilns. Besides, it may
be lound that a lime kiln will be a good
substitute lor a welL At all eTents, it is
worth trying.
Stepping from the ideal to the intensely
practical, one of the latent fads in Paris is
to eat the chrysanthemum flower. "Worse,
the flower is cooked before being devoured,
One way is to boil and eat it hot, like
potatoes or sauerkraut, although epicures
steam the flowers, flavor them withacWe,
and eat them with truffles, sprinkled with
pepper and salt.

Tbs teachers of the Peebles schools must
have been hunting and finding four-leaved
clovers during their vacation, for by the
opening of tho parochial school in that dis

dropping oft or two or three teachers from
tbe publio achools owing to tho effected de
creased attendance, but now It appears thero
need be no dropping off of heads, as the
September increase of pupils and a death in
the legular corps of teachers make the pres
ent corps of teachers secure.

primary teacher iu the Washington schools.
