mf&BJum JSfSr p TV t ; - . .-- THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 27, J802 13 . , The weddings of the put weet were so numerous that it would take a whole news paper to tell all about them if they were tor be "written up" as each one of them de serves. The week commenced with, one of the moat fashionable weddings of the sea sou that of Hiss Eliza Sutton and Mr. Andrew Hartupee McKee Monday evening. A pretty girl shonld have a pretty wedding, and Miss Sntton's or properly speaking, Mrs. McKee's was particularly beautiful. Surrounded by all that wealth could buy, surely the sunshine of happiness never smiled upon a bride with warmer and brighter rays than those that formed a halo about this young girl. It was a chnrch wedding of the most elaborate character, &nd nearly all the prominent people of Pittsburg and Allegheny, beside a number from other cities, witnessed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. McKee were to sail lrom Xew York for Europe last even ing, and it is )! estimable that they are al ready out of sight of land, plowing the broad Atlantic on their way to that ideal place of honeymoons, the Continent of Europe. They" expect to be home again about the end of January. Another wedding that joined two of Pittsburg's old families was that of Miss Julia li. "Morgan and Mr. Harrr W. Singer Tuesday evening in Trinity P. E. Church. Bishop'Whiteheaa did honor to the nup tials by conducting the ceremony, with the assistance nt Rev. Alfred W. Arundel, rector of Trinity. There was a reception at the Arsenal alter the ceremony, at which hundreds of friends of the two lamilies were present. The young couple are now on their wedding tour, but expect to be borne about Christmas. Mr. and Mrs. James L. Boardman, of Ridge avenue, AUegheny,have issued imita tions to the wedding ot their daughter, Miss Lelia Ada Boardman, and Mr. 'Will iam B. Sawer, of New Xork. The marriage takes place Wednesday evening, December 14, in the Arch Street Presbyterian Church. A wedding that is of unusual interest to fashionable Pittsburg is announced to take place in Philadelphia next week. The bride will be Miss Caroline Lane, of Phila delphia, and the groom Mr. John S. Clarke, second son of Mr. Charles J. Clarke, of Pittsburg. The ceremonv is to take place in St. Mary's P. E. Church, "West Phila delphia, and will be attended by a vety large company of Pittsburgers. The best ' man is to be "Mr. Benjamin G. "Wells, of Alleghenv, and the ushers Dr. William J. Blair. M"r. "William M. Singer, Jr., of Pittsburg; Mr. W. A.

Miss Sharp will be the maid ot honor, and the bridemaids will be the groom's sister, Miss Clarke, Miss Carstairs, Miss Banes and Miss Hunter. Miss Lane, who is a member of an old Philadelphia family, is well known and popular in Pittsburg, baving been a visitor at Mr. Clarke's resi dence, in Oakland, with Miss Sharp, Mr. ClarkeU cousin, about three years ago. Im ' mtdiately alter the weddinc the young couple will depart for the West Indies, going thence to Jacksonville Fla., where they will be met by Mr. Charles J. Clarke's new yacht, the Alma, upon which vessel they will cruise in Southern waters for several weeks, spending the rest of the winter at Lake "Worth, Mr. Clarke's winter home. Most people know that it is bad taste to be absent-minded in company, but a reason is given for its being bad taste that should have more weight than anything. "When people are absent-minded they are gener ally supposed to be lost in thought, and so ciety has no use for people who think. Why is it that no one thinks about holding a charity ball in Pittsburg? Such an entertainment has just been given in Toledo, Ohio, with unqualified success. It has been the social event of the season, and the participants have not only been enabled to spend a delightful evening, but have enjoyed the knowledge that they have contributed a large sum toward re lieving the necessities of those to whom balls and social pleasures generally are unknown. "We have a great many charities in this city, but there is always room for enteitainments tbal will produce a good sum for some specific purpose. Society w:!i g5 ta balls many times in the course ot the season, and it would be as well that at least one of these fashionable iflairs should be ot benefit to the poor of the city. At all the charity balls held so far, including one in the Pittsburg Club Theater some years aso, the arrangements have been as nearlv perfect as possible. The dresees of the ladles have been dreams ot beauty, and the appointments generally have been such as live in the memory of all the guests, used as they may be to the decencies 01 life. The charity ball project has been the subject of considerable dis cussion among Pittsburg's Four Hundred dnrins the past week, and it it possible that there may be one before the winter u'over. Invitations have been,issued for the mar riago of Miss Jennie' Sarah Arthurs, daughter of Mrs. Biddfe Arthurs, to Dr. Benjamin Maies Hanna, Vhich is to take place to-morrow evening at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church.

The Art Society will hold its 186th reception at the December 5, and Mrs. Russell will be the society's guest on that occasion. She will lecture on "The Art of Speech," and there is no doubt that she will expound that art in an attractive and Instructive mann r. Admission will be by membership card only, and people who do not belong to the society, but who would like to hear Mrs. Russell, can join in the meantime and thus enjoy the right to hear her speak. No cards will be issued before December Z There is no doubt that Mrs. Russell will speak to a very large audience, since all the ladies who heard her at Mrs. Magee's house will want to hear her again, and the men, who hae never listened to her expo sition of esthetic truths, will be anxious to do so. Tne pcrmaneut art gallery at the society's rooms is attracting a great deal of attention, and the society is being com. mended on all sides for its praiseworthy step in this direction. Advent Sunday will be observed musically at Calvary Church this afternoon by the rendering of Spohr's "Last Judgment" at a special choir service, with the following quartet: Miss Irene Semple, Miss Ella Semple, Mr. Dan E. Nutting aud Mr. Harry M. Mavs. "We have begun to think about Christ mas, now that Thanksgiving is over. Al though Christmas is honored in this coun try as much as anywhere in the Christian world, it is a question whether we get all out of it that we might The children's Christmas party, that is s"uch a popular form of entertainment in Europe during the midwinter season, might be introduced into this country with advantage. The entertainments "in churches and Sunday schools, good asithey are, do not cover the want entirely, and in Europe this fact is recognized. A Christmas tree, with snap dragon and other Christmas games, and none of the formal "exercises" that often orove tiresome to the children, is what the I youngsters want nowadays, and perhaps P-t :il i Ut th.- nrnn tFantmn tcill take the trouble to give it to them. Cards have been Teceived announcing the marriage ot Miss Elizabeth F. Winnett, daughter ot Captain Mark Winnett, of Rochester, to Mr. Samuel F. Ewart, of the East Eud. The wedding 'will be cele brated next "Wednesday at Rochester, Pa. The "regulation bridal gown," consisting of white silk, tulle veil, orange blossoms and so forth, that has been so dear to the heart ot every young girl from time im memorial, promises to be displaced by a toilette that will admit ot delicate, if not gay, colors. At one of the many home weddings of last week the bride was attired in a gown of pink satin.over which bishop's lawn, embroidered in colors, was tastefully draped. The gown was cut square in the neck and had large puffs of tthe lawn for sleeves. The whole was trimmed with a profusion of pink ribbon. At another wedding in one of tho suburbs during the week the bride wore n gown of pink brocaded satin. So it really seems as if society writers will have something else to describe than "conventional gown, "regu lation gown," etc. Miss Bush, of Niagara, Canada, is soon to become the bride of Dr. J. A. Llppincott, of this city. Miss Bush is the sister of Mrs. David Bissell, ot the East End, whose wed ding occurred last summer. A useful hint is given by a well-known society lady of Pittsburg as to how to re main popular when making lengthened visits to friends. She says the secret is nothing more than to take care not to give your hostess and her family too much ot your presence. Retire to your own room occasionally and stay there, ostensibly to take a nap." Do not sleep if you do not de sire it, but rest yourself and the household by remaining there for a few hours a day. She says that this is a sure way ot prevent ing your welcome from wearing out, and she speaks from a happy experience. Fridays have been chosen as the "at home" days of Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Monro,nee Bedell, who have taken possession of their handsome house, North Oakland square, East End. Miss Catherine Quay Watson was married last Tuesday to Edwin G. Walker.
