The talked-of housewarming at the Pitts
burg Club House will doubtless end in its
coalesciny with the opening Monday even
ing dance. This is due to the fact that the
house has been in the hands of the uphols-
terer and decorator great deal longer time
than anybody expected. There certainly
will be no time before the dance, which
comes off December II, so that the house
warming must be included either in that
date or given at a later time. The de-
butantus balls have been hindered by the de-
lay at the club house, or, at least, some of
them, as several will be given at the Du-
quesne Club. the dates for which have al
ready been settled.

Thanksgiving Eve sales were in order
yesterday both in town and in the East
End. Calvary Church sisterhood held one
similar to the successful event of last year,
and for the same purpose, that of realizing
money for the Christmas charities. Some
thing which commends tile sale to large
hearted people is the manner in which
Calvary distributes the money, or rather
that which the money purchases. No differ
ence in sex, sect or nationality is made.
There is only one thing demanded and that
is need. The work of charity is gone about
Systematically and quietly, and thanks to
the good sisterhood, that respecter of per-
sons, Santa Claus pays good visits at houses,
at which otherwise he would quite forget
even to stop.

After the fashion of those days, Dr Hurlburt rode on horse back. Compromising his own medicines almost entirely, he carried a supply for all ordinary cases in one of the saddle bags and an assortment of surgical in- struments in the other. Tradition al- leges that he was once compelled to flee before the British, but that his favorite saddle horse stood him in good stead and he escaped unscathed.
