P T'mf V 12 THE PITTSBUEG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY, DECEMBER. . Ki '389a H- ., A more beautiful picture, out of an art gallery, was never seen in Pittsburg than that presented bv the group of receiving ladies at the Hostetter reception last Wednesday evening. They are all hand tome women, and, gowned in rich toilets of delicate tints, their beanty was enhanced tenfold. Tali, spreading palms made a picturesque background in one corner-of the reception room where the lidies stood to welcome their guests. Mrs. Hostetter wore a gown of white bengaline, dotted with blue. It was cut low in the neck, and the large, high sleeves were of turquoise vel vet, and, as Mrs. Hostetter is a semi blonde, the colors harmonized well witn her lair complexion and brown hair, and produced a charming effect. Airs. F. W. Gerties, Ulrs. Hostetter's mother, who pos sesses a superb figure, anJ is also of the blonde tyi e, looked her best in a creation of light blue and white striped material, fash ioned in the empire mode. Her light brown hair was worn high, and a blue aigrette nestled among the coils. Mrs.Rosette Hos tetter's stately form was robed in black vel ret, with point lace and diamonds, and Mrs. Herbert DuPuy wore aeown of pink brocade of the prevailing design. All the ladies carried magnificent bouqaets,and the elegant apartments ot the Hostetter mo tion were fragrant with the odor of exotics of all kinds. The reception commenced at 9 o'clock and it nas long past midnight when the last carriage rolled away. December 29 is announced as the date for the wedding ot Miss Eugenia Maple, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas S. Maple, of "Winebiddle avenue, and Dr. Barton John ston, and it is to take place in the Second Presbyterian Church, Penn avenue. The ceremony will be performed by the groom's father, Rev. Dr. Johnston, assisted by lie v. Jonn buthcrlanii. 1). D. There is one pretty society girl in Pitts bnrg who wishes herself anything else, and all because her absentmindedness led her into what she petulantly calls a "ridiculous blunder." Several weeks ago she took it into her head to open a bank account not that the is of a particularly .saving dispo sition, but because she fcund that out of her papa's allowance she had some dollars to spare that ought to be put away against the proerbialIy rainy day. Accordingly a brand new bank book with 10 as an open ing deposit was the result of a first visit to the bank. The book was wrapped neatly in a piece ot nhite paper and placed among a number ot treasures in her daintilv carved oaken desk in her own room at home. Last week she made another visit to the bank and presented her book at the window in its paper covering with an air of business-like importance that was periectly awe-inspiring. The receiving teller briskly unwrapped the little parcel, while the girl straightened her money. Before she had finished her task she was startled by a series of hall-suppressed chuckles from the spruce young man at the otner side ot the counter" She looked up hastily, and saw the teller gazing intently upon a photograph of herhance. "Wltha thrill of horror that sent the blood over her ie-o-the roots of her bangs, she compre hended in an instant how the mistaKe had occurred. The photograph had been lying, in Us cover ot white -paper, in a drawer by the side of the bank book, and she had picked up the wrong package. The young lady banks somewhere else now. Mrs. Russell is to lecture on "Delsart ism" at the Concordia Club, Wednesday afternoon, under the auspices of the patron esses, Mrs. Joseph Kaufman, Mrs. S. L. Fleishman, Mrs. J. V. Frank, Mrs. Enoch llauh, Mrs. L "Wertheimer, Mrs. Ludwig Kaulman, Mrs. Bertha Frank, Mrs. Henry Herzog and Mrs. Sol. Kaufman. The second of the popular course of enter tainments under the auspices of young men's organization of the Ninth United Presbyterian Church, of Allegheny, took place at Carnegie Music Hall Tuesday even ing last. The Schumann Ladv Quartette, of Chicago, and Prof. W. F. Wentworth. of Boston, were the attractions and they ap peared before a large assemblage. The quartette enraptured the audience com pletely. Their appearance was a signal for applause and their retirement the occasion of a hearty encore. Their beautiful blend ing of tones, their clear articulation, com bined with delicate shadins.seemed to leave nothing to be desired except to hear them aga.n, and again Miss Gertrude Sprague de served to be especially mentioned. She sang the olo. "KocEed in the Cradle ot th Deep," in such a manner that the audience were dclizhte !. Miss Maud Wentz'e con tralto solo, "Serenade." drew forth a very hearty encore. Miss Mary D. Hull and Miss Ada Haines Kidston sang in a pleas ing manner, and it seemed as if they could not be heard enough. The voices of the four ladies are unusually harmonious, nd they sing together with perfect expression. Prof. V. F. Wentworth is a natural hu morist. In his impersonation of the "Pop ular Preacher" he brought down the house. Mrs. John Aldred, corresponding secre tary of the Ladies' Aid Society of the South side Hospital, writes that the proceeds of the fair at the old postoffioe, for the benefit ot the hospital, to date are f 11,000. The ladies of the society desire to thank all who tided in making the fair so great a success. William C. Robinson. The date of the first dance is December 19, with others De cember 22 and 26, January 9 and 23, tne concluding one being given February 6. American girls who think it must be a very nice thing to be at court in Europe should learn what the waiting maids ot the Queen of England have to do for a salary ot 1,500 for three months of service. They must always be dressed in the latest mode, have a disposition that nothing can ruffle and always exert themselves to be enter taining. Imasine what it must be to smile and look cheerful as a maid in waiting with a raging toothachel And "try to think how easy it must bi to dress as requiredby court etiquette on 11,500 a year. The Orinda Clnb gave its third dance ol the season at the Linden Club house Friday evening. The Christmas dance is set for the 27th. A wedding of more than usual interest to Pittsburgers will take place Tuesday next in St. Mary's P. E. Church, West Phila delphia. Miss Caroline Lane, of Philadel phia, will be t he bride, and Mr. John S. Clarke, third son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Clarke, the groom. Jl large number ot Pittsburgers will be present at the wed dinc, as well as at the reception at the bride's home, 4002 South Fortieth street, Philadelphia, which is to follow the cere mony. Miss Bush, of Niagara Falls, is to become the bride of Dr. J. A. Lippincott, this city, the first week in January. This week will be a notable one in so ciety circles. It will lead off Monday even ing with the Art Society reception. All the receptions of the society are interesting and pleasing features, but this will be par ticularly so, because Mrs. Edmund Russell is to deliver her lecture on "The Art of Speech" at the PitUburg Club Theater on the occasion. As there will be a very large attendance and the theater is circum&criheH in its accommodations, it will be necessary for everyone to procure a special card for that particular evening, the ordinary cards not being recognized. The Secretary has a few left, but it is doubtlul uhether it ill be possible to procure one after midday Monday, if then. The interest taken in Mrs. Russell's addresses is so marked that the e is no doubt about this reception being one of the most important ot the season. The marriage of Miss Kate Casidy, danghter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cassidv. to Mr. William Metcalf, Jr., is announced j to take place early In January at St. Peter's Episcopal Church. The winter gaieties at the Pittsburg Club Theater will commence in earnest December 20, when the reception of Mrs. Hran.ar D. Denny, to celebrate the coming out of her niece. Miss Mary Bell, will be held. Ou the 29th the re'eeption by the members of the club is to be given. It will be an elab orate event, and will be, in all -essential re spects, similar to that held last vrar, and that was such a marked success.

There is every prospect that the World's Fair will give a tremendous impetus to ehorus work throughout the country. A most gratifying response has been received from, the choral societies already invited by the Bureau of Music to take part. i s xt wiij ue remerooerea mat tne plan, as announced in the circular of September 24, included, first, theEastern Festival Chorus, to-be made up of about 20 leading societies In the Eastern cities and Canada, in two sections, to be heard during a week prior to July and another week after August; and, second, fhe Western Festival Chorus, to comprise about 16 principal societies within a radius just long enough tP include Pitts burg, which should give a three-davs' festi. yal about the third week in June. It is with reference to this latter chorus that Choral Director William L. Tomlins has just written to Director James P,Me- uuuura, ot our Mozart Club, a letter1 read ing in parf. as follows: So many of the Western societies have ac cepted nnd the membership represented Is so larse that if will be necessary to divide the chorus into two Festivals. This arrange ment seems Imperative from the tact that the Festival Hall has been reduced tn sizes and also because some of the societies must comes if at all, berore the end of June and, other sooleties would prefer to come, at n late date, For these reasons wo shall en deavor to arrange'two Festivals aft 1,500 voices each, one Jnne 23-23, the other July 12-lt From your letter I Judge -the later date will he the more acceptable. The Mozart Club has determined to go In July, and expects to go with a strong enough chorus to Justify it Jn appearing alono, before or atter the three lestlval days, with the orchestra that Mr. Thomas holds inTeadiness to assist those societies that desire sueb separate hearing. And now, after arranging these four great festival for tho veteran choral societies or the country, the Bureau of Music comes out with a plan for enlisting tho younser socle ties now organized and any number of small choruses to be called Into being by this Invitation. The official circular of No- vember 15, sent to The Dispatch, contains this language: "The Bureau of Musle is desirous of ar ranging for a tlfcee day9' Festival of Mnslp, Jn the oratorio form, to be given in Au:ust, 1833, in the Festival Hall of the Exposition, and in assocUtlon with the Exposition or- cnestra ana aistinguisneu soloists. "The programme will consist of three or fonr ot the wore familiar works, including Haydn's 'Creation,' Rossini's Stabat Motet,' and selections from Gluck's Orpheus.' 'AH societies not invited to co-operate In the Festivals appointed for the month of June; 1893. are hereby cordially lnvitod to take membership in the proposed August Festival Chorus. It is also the earnest wish of the Bnrean of Muslo that communities at S resent without an orjanlzea chorus will tke steps at onee to organize for the nur pose of an appeaianceat tiie Exposition, as herein Indicated. 'The only conditions of membership that the bureau will exact are: "First Regular rehearsals and thorough preparation on the part of each society of the work chosen. "Second Care that each chorus is proper ly balanced. "The burean desires to form a chorus of not less than 2.000 voices for participation In the proposed August Festival. Any city or town that will agree to furnish a quota of not less than 59 voices will be eligible to membership under the conditions named. Should the total numbed of applicants largely exceed 2,000 the bureiu will arrange for two festivals in August, having tne same programme, with a possible classifica tion ot .eastern ana western sections. "As each branch of the proposed chorus must organize and rehearse as an indepen dent body, without any expense to the Ex position, oliposlng Its own ufllcers and direc tor, and receiving trpni tire Choral Director of the Exposition only a general artistic oversight, Immediate 'notion should be taken by those communities which may de cide to organize especially for the Exposi tion. To all regularly organized oratorio societies not Invited to participate tit the June Festivals, a copy of this chcularls specially addressed. "Ti.e bureau asks the widest publicity for this announcement, which, it Is hoped, will give a stimulus to the practice of the sreater choral works, and create an efficient arm of exposition music," While the burean cannot provide for the expenses of any of the slngors, it makes the same offer in this as in the two former cir culars, namely, to arrange for the singers the lowest possible lallroad rates and to find them satisfactory and convenient lodg ing at liom $1 upward per day. The bureau will also make an enoit to aid In buying copies of the muslo for those oommunlt lea to whom this Item of expense would be a barrier. This third choral body ought to be Joined br suoh existing organizations as the Alle gheny Musical Association, W. A. Laf. feriy, director: by such choruses 'as were organized by Mr. Jos. C. Bred In the East End. by Mr. W. S. Weeden in Alle gheny and bv Mr. Morris Stephens in Mo nongahela City, and, also, by those of our German siiiln societies that nave a well, balanced leroinine auxiliary. A large num ber of towns in this section ought readily to be able to organize a chorus of over M Singers who would be only too glad to go to the World's Fair with suoh economy and telat. This present plan Is all that was needed to complete the scope of the choral demonstia tlous. Nov all manner ot chorus sincere worth having at all are provided for and 1 broniht within the influence of the mos powerful stimulus known to AuteriQa'B musical history. ., 3. The same Journals that kept up a hue and cry ngainst the entire management of the World's Fair music untilthe general clrcn lar of September 23 silenced their snarling for the time are now engaged in the delect able occupation of hounding Snoretary George H. Wilson, or the Buieau of Music. As was tha case before, they now luvve no facts to point to. Such considerations doJ not trouble them, however. And simply because Secretary Wilson is at the same time editor and proprietor Of the best mu sical Journal or its class In the country, nnd Is making a successor it, these nnsernpulou sheets teem with flngraut cha-rgos that tho Bureau ot Muslo is being prostituted to the private benefit of Its Secretary. It is needltiss to enter into controversy with people whose evil animus In this con nection has been repeatedlv exposed. Those who know the facts una those who know Mr. Wilson's slncero and nprlght 'cuaraoter could not entertain an v question as to the utter falsity and gi oundleisuess of these malicious occuations. Why is It that every one, doing a groat and good work has to endure snob, mad sling IngT 1 The following protest by t. contributor against a nuisance that Is aln ays with us may possibly do sorae good and, anyhow, It Is well put; "The musician is at all times a dreamer, a gentle lntiospeotlv being, who, given hU ivins art and mean to enjoy it, goes thrmigh the world unobtrusive!) a lover of mankind, sn nltruist of the hlghoit -sort.
