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. Pease, of .New York;
-Mr. irank hi. .Lane, tne bride t brother,
and Mr. Wheaton Smith, ot Philadelphia.
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. Rev. John C. White,
D. D., rectcr of the church, will officiate.

sell, and now the men as well as the ladies
are to enior a similar pleasure. 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

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. The

Watson, in Bellevue. Rev. J. Newton
Donaldson, of the Presbyterian Church,
performed the ceremony. Only relatives
Of the families were present. The young
couple left for Sylacaugua, a new cotton
town in Alabama, where the groom is en
gaged in business. The bride is an attract
ive and accomplished young lady who has
hosts of friends that wish her a happy and
prosperous future.

tainment was given by tho Concordia So
ciety of tho German -Evangelical Church,
Smitbfleld street, Thanlisslvlng evening.

the best of the winter so far. The lecture
room of the churcu was crowded, and the
frequent and enthusiastic applause told now
much the efforts of the pertoroiers were en
Joyed. The first number on the programme
was an orchestral selection, "Polish Dance,"
followed by a recitation by OttoBrenneman,
in which the centleman displayed consider
able dramatic power. Mrs. Noey gave a solo
on the Hither tbat was reallv wonderful in
the delicacy of its execution, and then Mist
C Schuetz sang a ballad tastefully. Mr.
Wtlilam Held's cornet Solo, Claribel's Take
Hack the Heart Tbat Thou Gavest," was a
splendid pertormance, the liquid tones of
the Instrument drawinz forth a resDonsive
thrill from every heart In the laws undl
ence. Miss Millie and Mr. William Oettins
played a "1'olonaiseBrilllante" on tho piano
in a way that i tamped them as natural and
cultivated musicians, their performance
concluding the first part of the entertain
ment. Alter a short intermission, which
was devoted to social conversation, the
second part commenced with the "Merry
Cooker Polka," bv tno orchestra, nnd then
Miss Georgia Mclntyre recited "liow Grand
ma, Danced the Minuet," which was a very
pleasing and somewhat novel rendition.
Miss Mclntyre not only told but showed her
audleuoe how "Grandma" danced, and the
5rcernl curtsies nnd twirling of the stately
anco were penoruied bv Mi-s Mclntyre ns
Srettlly as even "Grandma" could have
one them in her best days. Miss Mclntyre
was encored and the assembly would not
let her go until she had recited three bleces.
8ue is a very ciever youna lady, and there
is no doubt about her belli;; one o the coin
ing elocutionists of l'ltulmnr. A violin
i-olo by Miss Ebert and u piano solo by Mr.
George Ede were warmly applauded, nnd
then Miss Laura Oettlnit and Mr. William
Fllun sang a very 'torotty duet, "I Live for
.Thee I Love Tlfee." A rattling perform
ance of "Tlio Darkles' Dream" brought a
delUrhttul ntcrta&Uueut to a melodious and
harmonious close.!
