rhi. Week.. Attractions.

THE Voyage En- Suisse" which is given at
the Bijou this week. has been entirely remod-
eled. The production formerly has been either
entirely or part pantomime; this season it is
a sparkling comedy, and a comedy of remarka-
BILE character, too. The business of the play
has also been completely changed. New tricks,
mystifying as any ever put on the stage, by the
hundreds, new scenes by the score and other
oddities. The changing Of the play has made
possible the introduction of a number of pleas
ing specialties in the last act which are said to
greatly enhsnce the production. Musical
members also form no small part of the general
enjoyment now; the run of the piece has not
been materially changed. The stage coach
which upsets and spills its passengers out with
neatness and dispatch; the railroad car which,
when it explodes. gives them greater shaking
up, and the hotel, where everybody is made
the victim OF the clowns pranks, but finally
happy are still there, though there are some
new features in it all. The company used in
the presentation this season comes very highly
recommended and is said TO be the best that has
ever voiced the roles of the piece Mr. Ed
Hanlon takes the part. as usual, of one of the
most model servants. There will be matinees
Wednesday and Saturday. This is probably
the last time the Voyage En- Suisse will be
seen In Pittsburg. II certainly has been seen
here before, many time.
KELLAF, who will bring necromancy of the
nineteenth century sort to the Opera House
this week, is entirely original in his work. Mr..
Kellar should not be compared with Herrmanni
because his tricks are mainly of mechanical
sort and he does not resort at all to sleight of
hand The tricks are said to be wonderful
and include several of the latest contrivances
known and require carload of machinery
The stage will be furnished with Mr.. Kellaris
own silk plush curtains. Besides the great
magician that remarkable body of musicians
the Spanish students, will furnish very Choice

In England, for instance, the son becomes the
head of the house, and the widow gives place
at once to the sons wife, II he has one, or re-
mains solely by the consent Of the new owner.
THE WEDDING DRESS OF A WIDOW.
What is the marriage costume of widow
O.F.B.
A widows wedding dress differs from that
of other brides only in her wearing neither veil
nor orange blossoms.
Does widow put upon her visiting cards her
husbands Christian manner LoRING F.
No, widqw is not supposed to require visit
ing cards under a year after her husbands
demise. and then she uses her own Christian
name. This is the strict rule, but many widows
insist upon retaining their husbands Christian
name, partly as a means of Identification and
partly in reverence and affection for the name.
Should package conraing a gift be opened
intimate friend?
There is no reason why it should not, as
otherwise it would look like indifference.
In entering a reception room at reception
or party should the lady appear on the arm Of
her escort? MATTE SHERIDAN.
The time was in American society when the
escort always gave his arm to the lady and con-
Quoted her to the hostess, but now not only is
this entirely out OF fashion, but is looked upon
as ridiculous.
In passing an acquaintance on the street.
going in the same direction as oneself, is it
courtesy to turn and greet him or herr
Certainly. 1t would be very rude to pass q
person under the circumstances described with
out saluting him; it may be even questioned
whether person can pass another in this way
without some exhibition of rudeness even if
the salute is given; but no doubt it is often
necessary. Lord Chesterfield laid down some
rigid rules for the promenade, declaring that a
man sound in limbs should never pass a lame
man, as doing so reflected on his manners
A call is made by a lady on bride. Is it suf-
fcient that she leave her own and husbands
cards, or is it necessary for her simply to leave
her own and her husband to call?
Yes. If two cards are left the husband need
not call
WEARING DIAMONDS.
Is it proper for a lady to wear diamonds when
travelling? B. B. G.
1t is extremely bad taste for lady to wear
diamonds when travelling, or many diamonds at
any time, except for evening dress.

The new halls Of Encampment No. /, at
No. " Sixth avenue, are about completed,
and will be thrown open to the public on the
evening of April 80. They are beyond
doubt among the handsomest in the State.
No. is furnished entirely in antique oak,
the carpets are the finest body brussels, and
the walls are handsomely frescoed. The win
dow curtains are of French material and are
entirely out of the usual order of such decora-
tions. In each panel of the walls will be life
sized portraits of Washington, Grant, Sheridan,
Meade, Thomas, Hancock, Mcclellan, Warren,
Mcpherson, Reynolds, Griffin, Farragut and
other Illustrations of officers of the late war.
Hall No. 2, is fitted up with cherry furniture,
fine body brussels carpets and rugs cover the
floors. The walls are handsomely papered. and
In fact everything necessary has been provided.
The ante-rooms for both halls are large and
beautifully furnished. Below the halls is the
library, intended especially for Encampment
No. l. 1t Is a very large room elaborately fur
nished. A fine library will be part of its fur
nishment and as it will be kept open day and
night, the old veterans in this neighborhood
will find it great convenience.
General Daniel Butterfeld, of New York,
Judges Collier, Slagle, Over and Harry White
will deliver addresses. All old soldiers and
their friends will be invited.
At the last meeting of No. four recruits
were mustered and 10 new applications re-
ceived. The introduction of the "Inquisitive
Veteran by General Gallupe was decided
success. and caused great amusement National
Commander Pearson drew first prize, while his
Adjutant General (Short) drew the last. The
next production will be the Army Mule" and
judging from some of the rehearsals, there will
be fun enough to crafty the greatest kicker in
the Legion.
Encampment No. 8. Of Allegheny. is moving
on with decided strides. Every meeting night
new recruits are mustered, and the comrades
are seriously thinking of erecting new hall.
1t is to be hoped that they may succeed, as
there is nothing like having every accommoda-
tion.
Mrs. Blair, wife of Quartermaster General
Frank l. Blair. has been very i'll for some time.
If the prayers and wishes of his very many
friends will be of any avail, she will soon re-
cover.

ulations, adopted at the Altoona National En-
campment have been promulgated for the in
formation of the different encampments. The
new countersign has also been given out.

General Sigel has suffered in mind as well as
in purse by the wrong-doing of some under
him, but no taint attaches to his name. He
was appointed Pension Agent by Mr.. Cleve-
land four years ago. His administration has
given general satisfaction and was gratifying
to the old soldiers, many of whom were helped
by him out of his private means, although the
latter are limited.
