Weddings, Parties and All Sorts of FASH
iOnable Gatherings.
A wedding of considerable importance with
q tinge of romance besides was that of Miss
Nellie Henderson, the lovely daughter of At

Mr. Bailey, the popular rate clerk in the Lake
Erie depot 1t was celebrated at the residence
of Hon Hogeboon Van Renslaer, a near rela
tive of Miss Henderson's in New York
City where the young lady was. visiting.
Miss Henderson is quite youthful, very pretty
and correspondingly inpulsive, the favorite
niece Of her uncle, Judge Henderson, and no
less a pet of her New York relatives, whose
name. Van Renslaer, denotes the social position
of the family, and who yielded TO the young
lady's importunities and permitted her mar
riage to take place at their home without her
parents consent. The young man was likewise

Mrs. Robert Pitcairn will also be hostess

will grace the beautiful home over which
she presides with such dignity and sweet

corner OF Forbes and MevrAn avenues, to
which Mrs. W. Devices Wood lends an
additional charm and fascination by her
presence, and in which she has in such a
short time established her reputation as an
exceptionally witty, brilliant and gracious
hostess, will also witness many a fashion

GAY, gayer, gayest will be the social life Of
the dawning season, unless all signs fail.
And as such an anomalous calamity is only,
according to the old maxim, considered
possible in dry weather we of Pittsburg
may anticipate round of pleasure during
the coming months that will cast into the
shade several OF the past winters. The
social leaders have evinced their intentions
of entertaining on an extensive scale and are
making calculations and preparations ac-
cordingly.
Mrs. C. L. Magee, who last year, with her
husband, was domiciled at the Duquesne,
has now taken possession of her magnificent
new stone mansion and will this week in

and luxurious furnishings, and the lady by
her beauty, culture and accomplishments
are especially adapted. She will throw
open her doors to the ultra fashionable
musical people for the christening of her
artistic musie-room, which will be accom-
plished by Mr.. Ethelbert Nevin with

Prayer Book for a Euchre Prize.

She chose for the head prize a silver
edged prayer book. Think of it, and doubt
the truth Of the statement, but it is not to be
doubted, assure you, for with my own
eyes saw the purchase, and with my own
ears heard the conversation that enlightened
me regarding the purpose for which it was
designed. And the fair purchaser was 4 pretty
little miss, hardly in her teens, very much i'm
pressed with her own importance in being in
trusted with the errand. She entered a prom
inent jewelers. establishment one afternoon
during the early part of the week, and there
meeting little companion, FASTENED to tell
her that she was going to buy one
Of the prizes for her mammals party.
And consulting together, they decided
upon PRAYER book as the proper thing which
was duly purchased and charged to account.
Whether 1t ever fulfilled Its mission or not is
doubtful, but according to the historical ideas
ol our grandparents it would have been emf
nently proper that the winning of a prize at
euchre should have been followed by season
OF prayer.
The event of the week, leaving out the Stand

A Remarkable Incident

This little incident, which was bad form
merely on the part of the gentleman, instead of
nagrant Ofense against the laws of polite
ness, recalls recent occurrence that is at
present occupying the attention of a great
many people in the high social circles. 1t was
on the evening of the great iron and steel re-
ception at the Duquesne Club when the in
clemeney of the weather would have prevented

portals of her own home, she had been for
some time the victim of rheumatism, had not
the marriage of favorite girl friend occurred
that night.
She telegraphed in to her Iiverymap to have
coupe for her at the train that evening" not
thinking that the reception and the demand
for carriages would in any way interfere with
her order. In fact. her time and attention
being devoted more 10 deeds of charity
and the ameliOration of suffering than
10 the doings of fashionable life
she had forg1tteu about the recnntion
When she and her attendant arrived She found
as she Supposed a vehicle awaiting her. Speak
Ing to the driver, whom she recognized as one
who had served her in that capacity on pre-
vious occasions, she vas about to enter the
carriage when he informed her that his en-
ployer had been unable to meet her order on
account OF the reception and that he was
waiting for a gentleman and lady who were
going TO the Duguesne Club This gentleman
is one of the wealthiest and best known busi.

1t was only few squares to the church where
the wedding was to be celebrated and as il was
almost time for the ceremony the cabman sug-
gested that be could drive her up, saving he
could then return before the arrival of the
train for which he was waiting. Consequently
she, grateful for the consideration of the driver
took seat in the conveyance with her com.
panion, but just as the cabman was about to
mount the box the business man referred
to appeared commanded the driver to descend
and the occupants of the vehicle to alight
which they did. And this lady, past middle

PEELED to make her way to a street car and

That those who witnessed the occurrence were
greatly shocked and deeply panied it is hardly
