t , -- w . TIIE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1890. A ,.ss iK m 4 ocialTf zzzz, A period of unpurallellod dullness 1ms pervaded society the past week, except ing, of course, the Interest In golf, which has reached ft point of enthus iasm quirt satisfactory to even the most ultra-golfmunlnc. Today tho much talked of tournament will take place In celebration of the f ormal open ing of the season on tho permanent links. Many entries have been made and it Is expected that a larger num ber than ever before will contest for the handsome silver cup offered by Mr. T. II. Watklns. This will be won by the highest score made by either jlndy or gentleman. A second prize will also be offered for ladles. Among the out-of-town players will be the Misses Sterling, of East Orange, N J.: Miss Downs and Miss Wagner, of Germantown, and Mr. Iludnut, of New Yoik. Several entries will also be made by Wllkes-Hurre visitors. Din ners and luncheons will occupy much attention indoors during the afternoon and evening and an Informal tea will be served by tho ladles. Among those who will enlertuln In a quiet way In honor of the guests will bo Mr. and Mrs. T. II. Watklns, the Misses Arch bald, 'Mrs. K. Ij. Fuller and others. The Country club bus will make regu lar trips to cats on a forty-minute schedule. The Country club Is now In Its zenith of beauty and has Inspired even the most prosaic visitor during the last few days to wax eloquent over It "hills of living green;" over the notes of other bhds than the garrulous English sparrow and tho tempting little sup pers provided by Jacob and Josephine. Indeed, so enthusiastic has one Coun try clublto become that, like the re nowned Wellcr, ho has dropped into poetry to the following effect through with Irreverentlal tendoncfes: The golfer plays by day and night, lly morning dawn and still moonlight. (fly cither one Ills gnmo's a sight) Ills language s-catco is sane. "lie talks of 'downy' 'divot '(to- And wisely how to 'put,' And when ynu stumbling disappear In II I.l.ulcn stieet pan rut, Ilfi says yon 'foozle' and you know Ho to tho Country Club docs go." Mr. and Mrs. T. II. Watklns will give ii dinner tonight In honor of their guests. Miss Downs and Miss Wagner, of Uermantown. Miss Nan Sampson, daughter of Ad miral Sampson, who, it will bo leiucm bered, has visited In this city, had ex pected to be married in June, but ow ing to the fortunes of war the date Is most uncertain. She despairs of se curing her rather nnd her fiance for the same day, as all attempts of the sort has proved futile. At present the latter, lieutenant C'luverlus, Is in Manila. When he was here, her father was awny with his licet and Miss Sampson laughingly declares that tho obstacles In tho way of arranging u wedding such as had been planned orlglnnlly, seem to be so insuperable that an elopment Is about the only alternative. Miss May Torrcy, daugh ter of J. H. Torrey, esq., was selected as one of the bridesmaids, but at pre sent the prospects of a wedding in the near future are rather "Indellnltc." Among the probable June weddings will be those of Miss Edith Plerson and Philip Pointer, Miss May Steele nnd Miv Charles Reckwlth. Miss Mar garet TTnnley and Mr. Harry Kllpat rlcks. Mr;.

H HER POINT OF VIEW Talk about tho vnnlty of women, did1 you peo those Knights of MnltuV Did you ever see anybody ns proud in your life U8 were some of those good looking men In their petticoats nnd other par nphernnlla? There was ono tall indiv idual In a sort or glorified bathrobe red velvet with a puffed border of purple satin all the way round ami up and down In front, who wns un speakably pleased with himself. King Solomon was meek nnd lowly In com parison. I don't know wheijjjjihey got their fashion plates or whose was tho original taste that suggested red velvet with purple satin pufllngs nnd a plen tiful adornment of gold brnld nnd fringe. It wus a stunning combination, and yet one can't nssert that It was so very much more startling than many of the Impossible hues worn In Juxtaposition by women. Tho feature that appeared to the average feminine oyo wns the apparent attempt nf the dressmaker to get up those costumes with ns much variety of color and style as consistent with somewhat dis couraging figures not really designed to show oft a pretty gown. The Knights either were not blessed with such slender waists as the skirt dancers In the recent min strel show, or else they resorted less to nrtlllcial methods of Im proving nature. The gieat dlfllculty with a man seems to be his hazy Ideas as to his waist line. Those Knights on the Poat the other day gave a beau tiful Illustration of tho masculine In difference to ono fixed regulation as to where a cord should be tied to confine the voluminous folds of their Slowing gurnicnts. The man with a white Mother Hub bard wore his cord well up under his arms, evidently with the Inten tion of giving It an Empire ofTect. One or tho sky blue rcllows dangled his belt nearer his knees than his elbows. Another had qultu a fashionable ad .liutment ol his cord, wearing it well up In the back and giving It the proper diop In front Still another had an ex tra, hitch to his toga, g! lug a classic al swing which wns rather Impressive. This had evidently been done for mili tarism ns It was of the regulation length for a stvllsh gown and be had trod on and said miiny things which women only think when they trend on their long and silk-lined skirts. The pinbahle fate of those rulnbow attired citizens on the tloat ns they should begin to experience tho Joys of a pleasure ric'o over tho Washington avenue pave, was a source of liveliest anticipation on the part of tho lookeis tm. The ovpcctatlons were tealisced with extras. The Noble Grands and Lord High Executioners and other Woishlpful Sirs wore a look of sur prise along with their gorgeous ap parel when their conveyance blithely careened into the Hist hole near The Tribune ofllce. and they all lurched forward nnd fell on each other's necks In arlous attitudes of affection. Ap parently It had not occurred to them Hint a necessity existed for tying them selves on. The poses of tho rctl, white and blue and other bright hued gentle men on that open platform, as it gaily careened in nnd out of the pittaUs could scarcely be termed Delsartean. Tho hazaids of a golf course and the dangers of a steeple chase are tame in comparison to tho excitement of their Journey. They laid bets on the probable catastrophe which would overtake them nt the next cavern, and jhey clung nervously to each other's hands like school girls on a toboggan. There was little to Indicate floating In the progiess of their portion of the procession. b Said a man the other day: "It does reem to mo that tho hats are unusual ly handsome this spring." "Where havo you been taking notice?" demand ed his wife, anxiously, "In the shop window or on womons heads?" Hu wasn't a man who usually took notlco of feminine attire. Ills wife might be arraped In sack cloth and ashes season after season and the stvle and cut thereof would be unobserved by him, but on this occasion he casually remnrked: "On their heads, to be suie." Hut the average man unless he is blind does take notice of the long gowns which women trail through thu streets nawndays and not Infrequently his attention is accompanied by visible disgust. "I don't see how thoy can do It," exclaimed one man to another yesterday and two women walked up Spruce street In front of them placidly dragging handsome skirts without making the slightest effort to keep them up out of the tilth. Spruce street In Its most company condition Is not exactly such as one would care to carry home much of its surface ns a souvenir. Those women were scraping up an ac cumulation of lllth that looked as If It might contain all the varltles of evilly disposed microbes from yellow fever down. The skirts had a broad, full, stylish Hare and as scavengers they did their work well. The pretty silk linings were rapidly assuming an un speakable state, but the faultless lit and swing wns not marred by any awkward grasp by the fair owners. "Great Scott," remarked ono of the men, and then ho said other things. We certainly are idiots, we women. We say that never In the wldo world will we adopt some objectionable style simply because It Is tho fashion and we are sincere In our declaration, but our dearest friend wear a "nose hut" that Is piquant and charming, as It deeply shallows her lovely eyes. So we begin to weaken and finally don a "nose hut," too, although our nose may be tip tilted to meet that hat to a de gree never anticipated by the milliner In her wildest lllghts of aberration. Wo say we never, never will wear a bustle, but when all the other women of our acquaintance appear with their gowns well set out In the back, with u pretty, graceful spilng just below the belt, we finally succumb nnd probably buy a bigger and moie generally ex pansive wire atrocity than Is possessed by any of our friends. Wo way say we'll never; no, never, draggle a long gown through tho hor i Id streets, and perhaps, wo do brnve ly trot around In a dicss that possibly sweeps the ground, but Is neither short nor long Just a mean "bobby" length that must bo lifted as crossings and simply looks out of date and dowdy. Then we see women trailing their soft, graceful draperies about their homes, where a trailing robe Is the Ideal, ar tistic and truly elegant diess, nnd In desperation wo have every sown lengthened and soon reach a pretty state, when we drag up quantities of real estate Into our homes and then loudly lament because so much dust accumulates, because white skirts nro a disgrace, because we have eaturrh and bronchitis and consumption and other Inconveniences. Ye, wo do. Saucy Bess, NERVOUSNESS IN WOMEN Everyone Who Has Used Paine's Celery Compound Praises It. Every nervous person drags down the houllh of the other members of the family nervousness Is contagious. This season of tho year finds women tired beyond belief. Their nerves have suffered. They ure neither good company for themselves nor for their friends. Those who are wise are taking the most responsible of all spring remedies, are getting back their nervous vigor, their proper weight, and healthy color. Following the advice of eminent physi cians everywheie, they are taking Paine's celery compound. "We are never without Pulne's cel ery compound In our home," says Mrs. Hubert Osborn.who figures more promi nently, perhaps, than any other woman in the social world of New York city today. "We believe it to bo the most wonderful nerve Invlgorator obtainable. I especially lecommend It to society women, fatigued by the many demands of the social season Just closed, and to tiled and nervous professional men and women who have yet many weeks of labor before their vacations. I am convinced that Paine's celery compound John Willard Rafcghf's Work. The seilousness and the fixity of pur pose with which John Willard Haught paints are elements which unite with his artistic perceptiveness and his de sire for artistic truth to make certain an enduring success. I spent a forenoon recently In Mr. Ruughfs studio In the Connell build ing nnd a forenoon of Interest and education It wns. To my way of thinking, pictures should be studied a few at a time In order that the great est pleasuio and benefit may be ex tracted. A large and varied exhibition Is a tax uion the perceptive qualities which no sensitively organized person can stand without exhaustion. If one of my readers can spent! a large por tion of a day in the Metropolitan Museum, for instance, without feeling thoroughly wont out, ho or she should Immediately go to blncksmlthlng or cnnvosslng or some other soulful occu pation. The number of pictures In Mr. Haught's studio Is not large Just now, but the quality Is n sufllclent atonement for tho lack of qunntlty. "A Morning Promenade In the Park" is a delightful spring theme. It has been puichased by John M. Ilobertson, of Mooslc. It is a symphony In vernal green, the delicate hue extending and lending Its tender tone to the charm ing gill In the foreground. I would willingly, had I the space, expend a column in the description of "The Veiled Fields" and "October Morning." The ftumer Is most uncon ventional in its treatment and remark ably realistic) in its achievement The subject is that of green fields In the fog of an early dawn. A deeply rutted clav road In the foreground seems to fairly exude its molstuie. At Hist the effect Is that of fog and of nothing else, but, as you look, tall poplars dim ly show through the summer mist, a peasant's cart Is faintly outlined in tho distance, and you have n vision of the veiled and beautiful Ileitis thiough the opalescent curtain of nature. Mr. Haught Is at heart u romanticist and I feel coi tain that he has made this picture tho expression of inotv than nitrp paint. The veiled Holds Hint lie beyond tho life of earth nre, It seems to me, beautifully typified. The fur rowed road of life In the foreground, moistened with teuis and clayed with ceil, winds through the verduri of jit-sent Joys. Heyond Is the life to be. and toward It goes a soul that Is al most mlst-hldden. Tho trees ami tho country beyond piomise most fair, but still It Is the laud of "The Yelled Fields" and only hu who Is in tho peas ant's curt can solve Its awful mystery. "October Morning" shows a hillside overlooking the town of Auvers-sur- Olae. An aged shepherd is tending is by far the best spring remedy a hard-w'tiiklng person can take." Mis. Osborn has always been distin guished In society for the beauty ot her costumes. No one knows the opinions and habits of women better than she. She says that her friends who always Insist on having thebest.wlll have noth ing to tlo with any remedy but Paine's celery compound. And this Is not sur prising when ono stops to consider the thousands of letters that are constantly being received by the proprietors of thin great remedy, and by newspapers and medical Journals, as well as fiom men and women In every walk of life, all telling one experience: the Immedi ate relief and perfect cure effected by It. The best physicians openly indorse and lecommend iPalne's celery com pound, authorizing the public use of their statements that Paine's celery compound, In case nfter case, cures rheumatism and kindred diseases, puri ties the blood, regulates the stomach, liver, bowels and kidneys, and rejuven ates the fagged-out or diseased ner vous system when everything else falls. his Hock beside one of the huge stone ciosses which the noble sires of a de generate nice erected In perpetual re minder of the redemption by blood. The Olse Is seen In the middle distance set In Its lovely valley. The mysticism of "The Vellt-el Fields" Is nlso seen hero and, like that picture, Its charm Is one that grows with long acquaint ance. Mr. Haught has several other French subjects. "A Bit of Franco" gives us Auvera-sur-OIse In quite another at mosphere than that shown In "October Morning. rhc Itoad to Auvers," "A Sunny Morning in Brittany," "Morning at Montlgny" and "Auvers-sur-Olse," the latter a beautiful water color, are all splendid examples of the work of this artist. "The Hillside Path" and "Hye Beach" uro American subjects. Mr. Haught has been represented for years nt tho Salon. Ills fine picture, "Tho Banks of the Olse," was hung on the line at the last Salon. It Is now in Mr. Robertson's well selected gallery. Mr. Haught's "The Gorse Cutters," which was shown at tho World's Fair and his famous Salon picture, "The Highway," aro both In Mr. Hobertson's collection. Mr. Ilob ertson has thu-e beautiful pictures on view in Mr. Haught's studio. They are "The Ilnud to Home," a water color by Marlottl; "'Palm Sunday in the Convent," a splendid and elaborate v. liter color by Turenghl and Haught's "Tho Road to Auvers." These nro all for sale. Most of Mr. Haught's recent woik has been In the line of portraits. How well he succeeds In that, those who will study tho fine portrait of Hev. Dr. S. C. Logan, which was painted entire ly ftom life and which Is now In Mr. Haught's studio, may judgo for them selves. Mr. Haught leaves Scranton In about a month. Ho will probably summer In the artists' colony at Hye Bench and will then go abroad. Tho breadth and the development of his art make It Im perative that he should not remain for any long ttmo away from tho great centers of art growth. Ho has made It his llfework and I know no ono whoso llfework has been more happily selected or whoso work Is more faith ful, moio Intelligent and moro pro nounced In Its development.

IJotli. while professional musicians depending upon their profession for a livelihood, have freely given their time without com pensation In many Instances In tho hope of creating a desire for better music among the masses. How well they have succeeded is demonstrated by the standing of the Symphony orches tra, the Fanny Mendelssohn society nnd many other entcrpilses with which these earnest workers have been Iden tified. II !l II The Fanny Mendelssohn chorus, com posed entirely of ladles, was upon Its organization looked upon us n species In tho freak Hue by those unactiualnlcd with the effects that cun bo produced by blending of female voices. The concert of last season was a revelation to the doubtful and lirmly established tho ladles chorus as one of the Insti tutions of the city. The concert on Thursday evening showed that great Improvement had been made In the selection of singers, the strengthening of the altos giving more evenly bal anced tone In the ensemble. The work of the chorus Indicated that the mem bers have an Intelligent appreciation of the truly artistic In music an ap preciation that enabled them to in terptot the tuneful themes with deli cacy throughout. It was tho general vet diet last Thursday night that once a year Is not often enough for the Fan ny Mendelssohn concerts.
