THE SOCIAL WHIRL.
Heavy Demand for Cut Flowers for society's
Frequent Calls.

|
Frequent Calls.
WITH the opening Of the regular winter
society season the demand for flowers sets
In with extra strength. There will not be
any more good flowers sold at low prices,
because the demand for them at regular
| prices will prevent it. The roses that are
advertised at so cents a dozen by some Pitts
burg florists are those that are left in the
| New York market after the demand for the
best trade is supplied. In the metropolis
they are sold on the street by children at
| low prices, and what they do not take are
shipped to other cities, to be sold at a reduc-
| tion. The demand for flowers in the social
season is so heavy that there is nothing left
| to be sold at less than the market figure.
| Flowers will be about the same price this
| winter that they were last. There are plenty
| OF good flowers as there were last year, but
| not such an abundant supply as to reduce
the cost materially The young men who
| require flowers for dainty maidens to wear
| at balls and theaters will find that the call
| upon their pocketbook will be about the
| same as ever. Girls must have flowers, anu
| gallant swains must procure them, regard
| less of cost
| A GRACEFUL couple listened to the words
that made them one in the home of David
| Lowry, 427 Wylie avenue, last evening. Miss

Lowry, was married to william W. Ramsey,

| mony which was witnessed only by the rela-
tiyes and intimate friends of the young peo-
| pie. After receiving numerous congratuIA-

esteem in which they are held, Mr.. and Mrs

Gently banked with rare exotics. The air
was heavy with perfume, and the rich

flowers of all hues and shapes that met the
eye on every side. Mr.. and Mrs. Dick were
