How shall Grand Army Day be cele-
brated?
The trouble that the Grand Army Day
Committee has had to secure enough funds
to properly celebrate Grand Army Day
and the talk that has arisen from this will
be we'll remembered by the members OF the
committee. The lack of interest shown by
the most of Pittsburg's business men con-
cern1ng the day and its celebration caused
the Grand Army men to feel that Pittsburg
was not deserving of Grand Army Day.
A great many of the tradesmen who were
benefited by the visitors it brought to the
CITY refused to contribute what they should.
To be sure the Grand Army had
more than one good friend among the
business men who always stood by the commit
tee but these were wofully outnumDered Dy the
other firms Finally this became too much Tor
human nature to bear, and, as Will be remem-
bered the dissatisfaction last year resulted In
an entirely new TO this section, suggestion. 1t
was suggested in the committee that the pests
in the southwestern part OF the department. Do
corresponded with with view to forming .
Southwestern Association, similar to the
Northwestern Association, one OF the principal
objects of which would be to celebrate Grand
Army Day in a city or to town where 1t would
The secretary of the committee Comrade n.
n. Bengough. has received replies from most
of the posts corresponded with. Some are in
favor and some are not; come already have an
organization Of this kind in their own counties;
others belong to the Northwestern Association;
SO it seems that in all probability the South
western Association will never be born.
And now the question arises, how shall Grand
Army Day be celebrated? A Well-knoWn COM
rade has offered an answer to the question be
suggests that the old way of celebrating the
day IN Pittsburg be utterly done away with.
He says: 'I would recommend that the parade
Oh hn
and that place of rendezvous be secured; for in
stance, Recreation Park. Here the old boys could
congregate. The posts could go individually TO
the grounds beating the time with one or two
snare drums. At the grounds would be provided
plenty of good coffee and sandwiches and there
would be no other refreshments. And then
the feature Of the day would be a dress parade,
after which the veterans could gather In
groups, renew old friendships, exchange remi-
niscences tell stories-in short have good
social time and go home when they chose. See
the superiority OF the plan over the OLD one!
The old boys will be saved the misery OF long
and exhausting march and they will. as they
had not in the old plan, have an opportunity
shake hands. The only expense to speak OF
will be the cost of the coffee and sandwiches
which would not exceed $500, the hire of one
hand and the days rent Of the grounds; the
posts would be saved the expense Of a band as
most of them had one in the old plan. The
general committee would elect commander OF
the day. 1t would be very enjoyable both TO
the old soldiers and to their friends hundreds
of whom have probably never seen 3 dress
parade. There would be the camptres IN the
evening as of old"

THE REALM OF Beauty.

The matter Of personal relation in the acces-
sories Of woman's life cannot be studied TOO
much if she would do better than dress at ran
dom. We are each impressed with the stamp
Of a distinct personality and the type IS n1eo
and inevitable fact which, II we are wise, We
will accept and set about emphasizing our
beauties or modifying our defects, thereby
avoiding incongruities, discord and failure In
dress. If she is sure of her individual taste she
can consult it freely since the principal feature
of the present seasons styles is their elasticity
First of all we should study Decomingness and
uitableness-synonymous terms here-since to
be suitably dressed is 20 be becomingly dressed,
and surely it is duty we owe those who love us
to appear our best.
Appearance, it is conceded, is an indication OF
character By our appearance we are judged
cultured and refined, or vulgar and ignorant,
before our manners have had time to declare
themselves. This being the case is it q waste OF
time or frivolous to devote oneself to careful
and studious consideration of the subject to
bring about the coveted result To paraphrase
Emerson's advice, let us yield not one inch to
all the forces that conspire to make us an echo.
Let US each one study out style as physician
does the phases of disease,

The Cnrrecr IdRn.

Here is a woman who has the correct idea.
She saws: II plan every stitch myself. In this
am guided chiefly by my own form and what
is most becoming TO it. I have found by ex-
perience Just where things must not be too
tight where not too loose, where long and
where short, in order that may feel comfort
able in them. keep close watch of the chang
ing STYLES and of the new goods on the market;
then adopt from the new colors and styles
what suits me individually. never stray OF
for pure novelty, that brings waste, discomfort,
disappointment"
There it is in a nutshell.
The material, the style, the combination and
cost are matters for the wearer to determine
then leave the execution to practical dress
maker. If we can only afford one dress sea
son, let US have it made by. one skilled in the
art rather than have a variety of homemade
gowns out of the price saved by doing our own
work. 1 am one who believes dressmakers as
well as poets are born and not made-Jhat each
woman can or should make her own dresses
seems to me as absurd as TO expect each man to
be has own tailor,

A Young Soul LIbernted.

A bright light in the life Of a comrade has
gone out and another little angel added to the
brilliant throng waiting on the other shore.
The mortal remains of little Alice, daughter Of
Comrade Bernard Coll of Post 157, were laid to
rest yesterday morning. The comrades will
remember the remarkable operation that was
performed on the little girls brain more than
six weeks ago. Everything went well and she
improved steadily until a few hours before her
death, which resulted on Thursday morning
from q complication. She was OF bright,
happy, loving disposition and the intense grief
of Comrade Coll and his family expresses more
eIoQuently than could any words the great love
they bore her. In that happy realm TO which
she has been called she will know nothing Of
the physical pain and trouble which she knew
so well in this vale of tears.

PATHS season at San Francisco has been
dismal financial failure.
''OsTLER JOE" is being dramatiEed, and
Marjorie Bonner is named as the actress to star
in it.
FLORENCE and Jefferson will play at the
Grand Opera House for three nights, beginning
Thursday. March 6.
JAMES O'NEILL will next season revive Mr..
Henry Irv1ngs version of ''The Dead Heart"
shelving "MOnte Cristo."
THE Main Line" is stranded at Lancaster,
Pa, and Guilty Without Crime" has gone to
pieces at Wilkesbarre, Pa. This is very, very
sad.
MADAME CoTTRELLY is determined to con-
tinue the McCaull Opera Company on the road
nextseason. She paws McCaull for the name
and will manage the enterprise herself.
AT the Grand Opera House next week THE
Two Sisters" will be presented for the first
three nights. This play is by the authors Of
'The Old Homestead" and is said to be a true
picture Of homely city life.

JUDGE LAWRENCE has handed down his de-
cision in "The Still Alarm" case. The motion Of
Joseph Arthur for the appointment of a re-
ceiver, which Mr.. Lacy opposed, has been
granted, and Aaron Appleton has been ap-

Mr.. Lacy be enioined from interfering with the

to be by long odds the best amateur actress in
New York. Miss Otis edits the Saturday Re
VietV at present. but when she tires of it, more
than dozen managers stand ready to star
her. Among the many clever things she did
was comic song and dance, in every way bet
ter than anything done by the professional
burlesQuer this season. Miss Otis, however,
writes as well as she acts, and is not likely to
