To the Children's Temporary Home at the
Annual Reception - Several Pretty
Weddings-Too Far Away to Call-Newsy
Gossip From Social Circles.
Some evil influence affected the donations at
the Children's Temporary Home and Day
Nursery, on Washington street, yesterday, the
day of the annual donation and reception, and
at late hour in the afternoon the supplies of
groceries and provisions wherewith the tiny in
mates of the home are to be provided for dur
ing the coming winter were Iamentably
scarce, but perfectly, indifferent to the dismal
prospect were the little ones down in the
nursery who comprise at present the family
over which with such kindly and effective
solicitude Miss Bullock:presides. The home
annual reception, the rooms, each and all,
were models of neatnesS and the
numerous little cots in which repose the
members of the household were yerv inviting
IN their purity. One was especially attractive,
1or underneath the snowy spread, with closed
eyes and a peaceful expression on its dear little
lace In spite OF the wee small fist that was
doubled up as if for pugilistic action, was
baby" the youngest of the family, whose
slumbers were not disturbed by the tip-toeIng
visitors or by the fact that its mother was in
the hospital and its father behind the bars.
Quite number of visitors called during the
afternoon and evening and were ushered into
the cosy dining room where, over the delicious
refreshments served by the ladies' greetings
were exchanged and social chitchat INDUCED
in. Creating more than ordinary interest and
receiving an unusual amount of at
tentiOn were Mrs. Richard Waring, who
is in the city from her home in Europe,
and Mrs. Josiah Cohen who has but recently
returned from Europe and who was accom-
panied by her venerable and learned father,
Rabbi Nannion. Both of these ladies are in
cluded in the list of managers of the home, and
though living at present in the Old Country,
Mrs. Waring does not forget the needy little
ones who aroused her interest when Pittsburg
claimed her as its own. Another visitor re-
ceiving distinguished attentions was Mrs.
Carns of ShOusetown, whO,takes charge of the
fresh air children of Allegheny during the
summer and who performed similar services
for the little ones from the Washington street
home for several years.
