BEAUTY AT THE BANQUET.

The scene presented in the dining room when
the gaily attired company was seated, and over
their ices and cake were casting bright Glances
and quick flashes of wit was one of remarkable
beauty. and almost equaled the one in the ball
room, when, yielding to the fascinating infiu-
ence of a Strauss waltz. individuality was lost
in one bewildering maze of rythm and motion.
Until the formation for the cotillon. the
patronesses were grouped together at the ex-
treme end of the hall, near the musicians
screen, which proved an admirable background
for the outlining of their exquisite toilets.
Effectiveness of dress was not confined to the
patronesses, but extended throughout the entire
company, each and every lady having apparently
taken their costume for the first time from the
tissue paper for last evening. In the assem-
blage youthful faces predominated, with Just
sufficient number of mature ones to give Dig
nifty to the affair Brides and those who are
soon to become such, with young brides and
visiting young folks from distant cities, formed
the company
Until Il o'clock the floor was occupied by the
merry round dancers, after that the cotillon,
ard it was decidedly well onto daybreak when
the last equippage lett the portals of the club
house. that had added another triumph to its
long list in the social line.

SOCIETY CHAT Of THE TWO CITIES

The beauty and brilliancy of the first
Assembly ball, held at the Pittsburg Club
house last evening, was so great that even
the exterior of the brown-stone building
seemed tinged with rosy hue. and the in
terror was shifting panorama of splendid
magnIfcence.
The entire clubhouse was placed at the
disposal of the guests, and in anticipation
of the event, its last trace of masculinity
had disappeared meath an abundance
of fresh white crash and the lavish
and artistic placement of tropical
plants and hot-house flowers. The theater
entrance was used, and the guests passed
under the awning that, through long service
at similar fashionable events, has become so
thoroughly impregnated with the ethics of
Pittsburg society that it occupies to the
clubhouse the same position Sexton Brown
did to Grace Church in New York, and IS
retained in spite of its antiquity and de-
parted freshness.
THE SCENE IN THE HALL.
Once within the hall huge palms towering
above messy embahkments attracted the
eye, but it was only casual glance
they received from the ladies enveloped in
their elegant carriage wraps and soft furs, as
they FASTENED TO the dressing room on the
second floor. There, with the assistance of
the ebony-hued maidens especially skilled in
the devices of the toilet, the outer garments
were removed. dainty kid and silk slippers
took the place of those OF soft zephyr, the last
delicate touch OF the powder puff was given,
the jeweled hands were encaSed in exquisite
gloves and with fan and flowers, milady
vision of beauty, was ready to accompany her
escort into the assembly room.
From the depth of tropical forest
that occupied the platform and complete
