j tW Two bright joodr society gir of Pitts bnrff were talking about the way people In different localities use their voices, and one of them expressed an opinion that is food for tliontrht for the student of human peculiarities She declared that you could tell a resident of Sewickler from one whose borne i in the East End simply by noting the difference in the volume of sound that issued from his or her lips. "Did you ever notice," said she, "horn loudly the Sewicklev people speak in ordinary conversation? I mean those in really good society on a par with members of the best class of the Eist End. Tl'ey always seem to pitch their utterances a CODd mile or two above their breath. T have been thinking that the reason for this is that they live so much in the open air, and are so accustomed to calling across the fields to each other that the habit of shout ing becomes confirmed in them before they are aware of it." "Weil, that is odd," returned No. 2, "but I believe it is true. East End people never seem to strain their voices. Talking about voices, don't you think it would be a splen did thine if someone would invent a ma chine to kill that maddening buzz-buzz-bnzz-buzz-buzz that one always hears in a large company of ladies at teas, receptions and the like? Small talk is interesting enough when it is addressed exclusively to one's self, but when you get a wild ocean of it in one vast swish of confused murmuring it is enough to drive you out of your mind, es pecially if you are of a nervous tempera went" Evidently that yonng lady has been to a good many receptions. In addition to the six Monday evening dances and the large reception at the Pitts burg Club, mention of which has already been made, there are to be three dinner dances at the Club Theater on the evening of Januarv 2 and 19 and Febmarv 14. Mrs. H. D. Denny, Mrs. A. E. W. Painter, Mrs. M. W. Watson and Sirs. Sewell will each give a dinner on these three evenings, and the guests will go afterward to the club, where there will be other guests, the in vitations being limited to 150 in each case, however. The reception given by Mr. William T. Wallace, last Thursday, nas delightful in every respect, ifot only were the appoint ments distinguished by that perlect taste which is never more marked than in the borne of a cultured American woman, but the tact that two of Philadelphia's most charming daughters were introduced to Pittsburg society by this entertainment made it more than usually interesting. Miss Anna and Miss Eelyn Jones, who have come Jrom Philadelphia to spend a short time with their aunt, Mrs. Wallace, were naturally the recipient of particular attention from the guests, and the evening was evidently a most happy one lor them. The flower of Pitts burg's beauty and refinement was there, and the hostess had reason to be proud of the companv that had responded to her invita tion. She was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Christian 1 McKee. Mr Henry Balkin, Mrs. William H. Bassidv, Mrs. W. H. Whitnev, Mrs. William McConway, Miss Elizabeth Johnston, of Hazelnood, Miss Mary Louise Slagle, Miss Metcalf, Miss Bessie Metcalf, Miss Margaret Patrick,' Miss Dicken and Miss Herron. Chocolate, coffee and liht re reshments generally were served in the dining rocm, while the fragrance of rich exotics and the cool breath of palms and lerns hovered about the apartments, and made me practical outsiae worm seem like nothing more than a half-forgotten dream to tnose within. The hours of the reception were from 2 to 4 and 4 to 6 o'clock. About 150 ladies ot the two cities called during those hours, the names an nounced being those best known to society. It is expected that Mrs. Wallace's nieces will remain with ber for several weeks. Among the entertainments ulready ar ranged for the.r benefit are a pri vate theatrical performance at the resi dence of Mrs. Gormlev, in Sewickley. and a. luncheon given bv Mrs. William Cassidy. of Pittsburg. The debut of Miss HoMshlp, at a recep tion and tea given by her mother, Mrs. Henry Holdsnip, at her elegant Lincoln avenue home, was one of the brilliant society events of the past week. Assisting Mrs. and Miss Holdship in receiving were a nutuber of the most prominent ladies of Pittsburg'and Allegheny society, and the occasion was a thoroughly deli'ghtlul as well as fashionable one. Miss Holdship will undoubtedly prove one of the most popular of this season's belles. Pittsburg had no wedding of impor'ance last wees. "ernaps the solemn ana peni tential season of Advent had something to do with it, but it is a fact that the only fashionable niarnage in which Pittsburg society was immediately interested took place in Philadelphia. The bride was Miss Caroline Dane, oi the Quaker City, and the groom Mr. John Seninle Clarke, son of Mr. Charles J. Clarke, of Pittsburg. The cere mony was performed Tuesday evening In St Mary's Church, Eev. Dr. Thomas 0. Marnall officiating. The bridal dreis was of white Duchesse satin, trimmed with chiflon, while a tulle veil and. orange blos soms, and a bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley completed an elegant toilet Miss Mamie Sharp was the maid of honor, aud the bridemaids were Miss Emily Carstairs, Miss Bertha Hunter, Miss Doro thy Baines and Miss Mabel Clarke, a sister of the groom. Miss Sharp's costume was a yellow silk mull, over yellow satin. Each' of the bridemaids carried a bunch of daisies tied with yellow ribbon. Mr. Millard F. Lane, the bride's brother, gave her away, and the best man was Mr. James Clarke. The ushers were Mr. Frank H. Lane, Mr. Wheaton Smith, Mr. William H. Singer, Mr. Walter Albert Pease, Jr., Dr. William W. Blair, and Mr. Benjamin G. Wells. There was a reception at the residence of the sister of the bride, Miss Edith Lane, 402 South fortieth street, after which the couple left on an extended wedding tour. A large number of Pittsburgers went to Philadelphia to attend the wedding, and the affair throughout was one of the most brilliant Philadelphia has seen or will see this season. Mr. and Mrs. Clarke expect to spend the winter in Florida. Cards of invitation have been received in Pittsburg to the wedding of Miss Elizabeth Co'penliaven, of Washington, D.
