"What a week we have hail, to be sure!
What with marrying oil hair a dozen or so
of our most interesting girls, dining five
flays out of the six for sweet charity's sake,
and attending the average number of recep
tions, teas, luncheons, etc., to say nothing
of the seemingly important task of electing
ft President of the United States, the week
has been, in newspaper parlance, a heavy
one.
But what it Cleveland has won, and what
if the Inst week has been disagreeable for
Republicans and Democrats alike? The
whole thing amonnts to little In comparison
with the pleasure Pittsburg's society
women are anticipating in meeting that
most charming of Del Sarte's exponents,
Mrs. Edmond Eussell, who is to lecture to
morrow at Mrs. C. L. Magee's house, on
Forbes street. Who is Mrs. Russell? Well,
no not who is 3Irs. Russell? for everyone
knows that. But what does she teach and
what does she look like? Those are the
questions that are asked on every hand, and
that society writers are continually striving
to set forth at full length.
It is a difficult matter to explain or un
derstand, and more difficult still to write
about intelligently. As to what she
teaches, here is an outline of it: Primarily,
you are taught to take the traditional poker
Jrom "up your back," as it were. Xext, to
unfasten your countenance and let the
emotions have full play on your physiog.
nomy. You are also taught to convert your
arms from pump handles into craceiul ap
pendages. Then you are shown how you
may walk up and down three flights of
stairs a dozen or more times a day without
becoming tired or getting a backache once.
Prom these instructions she proceeds to
education for the hands, eyes, lips, so that
they know nothing of awkwardness, but
are the agents for expressing the emotions
without conscious effort. The keynote ot
her instruction is naturalness, and she says
that this is possessed by everbody in a
primitive state of being and has only been
lost by the artificial conditions under which
we exist.
' Mrs. Russell is the embodiment of her
own teachings. He dress is modeled on the
lines of graceful draping and natural flow.
It does not pinch or drag anywhere, and her
movements are hot hampered in any way,
while the perfection of womanly modesty is
expressed in every curve and told. When
seen at the home of Mrs. Maurice L Coster
the other day, Mrs. Russell wore a hand
some tea gown, rather low at the neck, which
set off the dignified poise of her head, and
gave her a classical air that most women
would give a good deal to possess. She
talked smoothly, and her conversation re
Teals the fact that she is well read and has a
vast fund of information on other subjects
besides that in which she is most interested
physical culture. She is an enthusiast on
-voice culture, and does not hesitate to say
that a sweet low voice is an excellent thing
in a woman. Of the features, she considers
the eyes the most important, maintaining
that when they are handsome and expres
sive they beautify any face, no matter how
plain and ordinary it may be. She has
beautiful eyes herself and as nature has also
gifted her with a handsome, intelligent lace,
she is decidedly attractne in every way.
Mrfc. Russell held a reception yesterday
afternoon, and met a number of the promi
nent society ladies of Pittsburg, to whom
she explained her methods of physical cul
ture in a casual and informal manner that
made the afternoon pass instructively as
v ell as pleasantly.
beautiful and unique feature. The bride
will carry white ordiids, tied loosely, and
intertwined with narrow white ribbon. The
maid of honor will have pink orchids, tied
in a similar way with pink ribbon, and the
bridesmaid's flowers will be light red Amer
ican Beautv roses, tied with foilage ribbon.
A farewell" dinner to his bachelor friends
will be given by Mr. McKee at the Du
quesne Club next Saturday evening.
The coming performance of "Flies in the
Web" by the Tuesday If ight Clnb is the
cause of a great deal of pleasurable antici
pation. It is to be given in the Duquesne
Theater, some time in Decern ber, most
likelv.
The two luncheons to be given by Mrs.
John Walker, of Western avenue, next
Thursday and Friday in honor of Mrs.
John R. McCune will also serve to wel
come home Mrs. Henry Phipps, Mrs.
Walker's sister-in-law, who has been in
Europe for some months. Another recep
tion Thursday is to be tendered Mrs.
Phipps by her sister, Mrs. Hoffstot, of
Lincoln avenue. It will thus be seen that
the coming week will be a particularly in
teresting one in Allegheny. Mrs. McCune
has lately returned from "Europe, too, and
she, witli Mrs. Phipps, will no doubt feel
that it is good to be at home again in the
midst of their large circle of warm friends.
It is believed that about 5700 was cleared
by the reception at the residence of Mrs. S.
Jarvis Adams, for the benefit of the Hom
eopathic Hospital. The ladies desire to
thank all who took part.
The reception given last Thursday after
noon by Mr. and Mrs. Edward B. Taylor,
in honor of the comine out of tneir daugh
ter, Miss Marion Taylor, was a delightlul
one, in spite of the unfavorable weather.
The beautiful Sewickley home was artist
ically decorated with palms and iweet
flowers, and no one realized that it was any
thing but pleasant out of doors. Mrs.
Charles Watt, of EJgeworth, assisted Mrs.
and Miss Taylor in receiving.
Dr. W. X. Carothers and bride, nee Rob
bins, have returned from their wedding
trip, which lasted a month, taken largely
throuch Southern States. They came home
yesterday, and will live in au elegant home
in West Braddock.
The "Festival of Mondanin," to be given
Friday evening next, by the Young Ladies'
bocietv of the Sixth United Presbyterian
Church, is expected to be something en
tirely novel as well as very pretty. It
will be an arrangement of Longfellow's
beautilul poem, "Hiawatha."
Last week was remarkable forthe number
of pretty weddings that took place in the
two cities. The saying that happy is the
bride that the sun shines on is au encourag
ing one for the young girls who became
brides last week. It may be presumed that
the sunshine referred to in the old say
ing is the smile ot the friend and the earn
est hope tor future happiness that was so
freely expressed at every wedding of the
"vast week. Ail the brides have been re
markably pretty, acd the appointments of
the ceremonies were in keeping with the
beauty ot the central figures. Everything
that taste and wealth could provide was
there, and it is no wonder that Allegheny
county plumes itself upon having shown
how charming weddings can be made in
these November davs.
Tuesday witnessed the marriage of Miss
.Elizabeth W. McKibbin, to Rev. James
Garland, of Johnston, at St Peter's Epis
copal Cliurcu. The bride was one ot the
most popular young ladies in this city, and
her husband is carrying on his life work of
minister with great success at the thriving
city on the Conemaugh, where they will
make their home, it is to be hoped, lor
xnany happy years.
An Allegheny wedding on Tuesday was
that ot Miss Ed'na A. Warren and Mr. W.
2. McKnight. The scene was the home of
the bride's parents, on "Western avenue,
and the ceremony took place in the pres
ence only of intimate lriends and relatives.
Tne bride is a beautiful girl ot the blonde
type, and the groom is a fine, manly young
lelloif.
The pink wedding at the Point Breeze
Church on Thursday was that of Miss Ellen
M. Stephenson and Mr. William Y. Hum.
pliries. It was one of the principal society
events of the season, both bride and groom
being creat favorites and the occasion being
of the ultra-fashiooable order. The dress
ot the bride was noticeable, not only on
account of its richness, being of white
satin and lace, but because it was trimmed
with white myrtle, instead of the usual
orange blossoms. Myrtle is the German
bridal flower, and it is rapidly coming into
use at American weddings.
The First Presbyterian church, Wood
street, which has been the scene of so
manv fashionable weddings, was crowded
with" the elite ot the city Thursday, to wit
ness that of MissXettie Houghton Gregg
end Mr. Albert lleymer. Although the
bride is a daughter of Mr. John Gregg, a
prominent member of the Covenanter
Church, the marriage took place in the
Presbvterian Church, where the stern regu
lations of the church of her father would
not interfere with the flowers, music and
decorations so dear to the heart of the bride
the world over. The wedding was one of
the prettiest ever seen in the famous Wood
street edifice.
The Sewickley Valley Club is to give its
first entertainment of the season next Tues
dav evening, when it will present the
coiuedy, "Mrs. Pendleton's Four-in-Hand."
Althongh it will occur on what is in
Pittsburg considered a rather unfashionable
day, thewedding of Miss Lydie Sutton and
Mr.' A. Hart McKee, in the First Presby
terian Church, Wood street, Monday week,
the 21st, will be one of the fashionable
cvenls of the season.- The appointments
will be of an elabor- " , and it is
expected that - witnesses

tainment is to be given Tuesday evening by

i
Chrysanthemums of all shapes and hues
were arranged in lovely profusion in the
house of Mrs. Theodore R. Hostetter last
Thursday evening, when she gave a recep
tion to the fashion, beauty and wealth of
Pittsburg and Allegheny. It was the open
ing ot tne regular season in Allegheny, and
was worthy ot its important purpose.

THE C0HVICT LEASE SYSTEM GOES.
It Was an Issue In the Arkansas Cam
paign and Settled at tho Polls.
Little Rock, Ask., Nov. 32. The
Board of Penitentiary Commissioners, com
posed of Governor Eagle, Attorney General
Atkinson and Secretary of State Chism,
canvassed the bids recently opened for the
lease of the State Penitentiary for a term of
ten years. The board unanimously decided
to reject all bids and again advertise for
bids until May 7, 1893. Tho highest offer
made was less than the sum now received.
The Legislature, which convenes in Jan
uary, will unquestionably repeal the con
vict -lease system hence the action of the
board in rejecting all bids. The Democracy
of the State made the penitentiary lease
system a part of the platform during the re
cent State elections.

PHONETIC SPELLING.
Wonderful "Work Miss Fundennerg Gets
Out or the Little Folks Prominent City
Educators Pleased Gossip of the Schools
Here and Elsewhere.
Last Tuesday Superintendent George J.
Luckey, of the publlo schools, issued a call
for a'divlslon Institute for 'the teachers of
steps 1, 2, 3, and I, and yesterday afternoon
Miss M. H. Fundenberg, or the Osceola
School, Twentieth ward, illustrated at the
Fianklin Sohool, with a class of nine little
ones of about 6 yea, her wonderful system
of phonetic spelling nnd its application to
the teaching of reading. This Is tbe lady
whoso work created such a Inrore at the
State Teachers' Association last July at
Beaver Falls, where the most noted edu
cators of the.State wero gathered.
Yesterday sho prelaccd her class work Dy
stating that the flist month or the child's
exnerience in school she devotes more to
cultivating its powers or observation than
to tho study of reading. As sho believes a
little child loves to talk, she makes tho most
or this their homo talent in the first month's
work.
In characteristic child language her little
class told wonderful stories about the muff
nnd other ai tides which were given them
for inspection. Then followed some marvel
ous work, in phonetic spelling, or as Hiss
Fundenberg would rather term It, slow
pronunciation, tho old German title for the
method which gave to those almost infants
tho key to spelling words coirectly. The
adaptation or her system to reading then
followed. When the" children did not know
the new words sounds suggestive or a
menagerie ensued, but the children knew
what they were talking nbont.
Superintendent Luckey at the close or the
class dilll stated he was quite aware that
the rittsburg teachers do the best piimary
woik in the woild, but a vat field was open
to them for impiovement in tho new
"sound" syttom. Prof. Piondflt, or tho
O'H.ira School, followed and said be was
qnitc skeptical heietoloie as to the valno or
phonetic spoiling in teaclitng'very young
children, but the afternoon's class drill had
quite converted him. On bis motion Miss
Fundenberg was Invited to bring her class
hefoio the Institute a few months hence.
When so much has been accomplished in
two months oi school work tho i o-nlts must
be extraordinary in a longer period.
The good work of Miss Fundenberg has
devoloped a i Ivalry between her nnd Mrs.
Pollaid which adds greatly to the merit nnd
fnmoofMiss Fundenburg. lor Mrs. Pollard
is the author of tlie Pollard Synthetic
method or tcach'ng reading, and stands
among tho prominent educators ot the
country, especially or the West. One ot
Mrs. Pollard's graduates who is teaching
the svstem in a Wllkinsburg school visited
Miss i undenberg a short time ago, saying
she was thetoiniesponsetoatelezraui from
Mrs. Pollard, telling her to see ir Miss Fun
denberg is using Mrs. Pollard's method. She
is not,rorMrs.PollardiHes nothing but print.
Miss Fundenberg suid yesterday: "I know
Mrs. Pollard's manual by heart, but do not
uso her system. I find wo both use phonetic,
which is common property, Just as the,
alphabet Is." It may be that he, ore long the
two syjtems will be"compared by an exhibi
tion. ,
