Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-10-18

ST
Let us toss over the invitations for the
past week 60 see what we have been doing
iten-The weather has been charming, tus,
pinching the girls cheeks bit red. Blu,
things promised rather than performed, and
in the social book we got no farther than the
preface. 1t is the East End, too, that has
carried the onerous world of fashion on its
shoulders so far this season. Allegheny is as
silent as a ball room at 10 o'clock in the
morning. Why is it that Allegheny girls
like to marry in November, while East End
girls would rather die than go beyond the
Slst gay OF OCTOBER For my part, 1 think a
woman these days when there is a woman
and a half for every man in the world,
ought to be glad enough to get a husband
any time be chooses to take her.
The pretty BellefieId Church, whose pastor
was recently translated to be a chancellor,
received its social baptism at Miss
Longhrey's wedding on Thursday evening.
It wss pretty thought to have DR.. Holland
and his predecessor both perform the cere-
moDy, or more properly, one perform and
the other assist. The same evening several
other people were equally leasantly en-
gagged being married. Miss Humphreys at
the Point Breeze Church, Miss Bown al home
on Aegley avenue and Miss Taggart in Ale
gheny. Miss Thomas, by the way, had a
pretty wedding Tuesday evening at home,
at which great many out-of-town people
were present.
Mrs W. J. Holland had an "ecclesiasticar
tea as il might be called, Thursday evening
for Mrs. McClelland, the wife of the new
pastor Of the Bellefeld Church. The wives
or the church officers were formally pre-
sented. Wouldn't DR.. Holland be doing a
nice thing ii he gave up that bijou house of
his beside the church to DIR. McClelland? 1t
seems TO belong to that corner. ] don't for
r. consider L
il that would. Still it's nice to think about
it.
The musical world of Pittsburg may prink
itself and 1lutter its feathers over what are
said to be the cOmpletest musical chambers
for prs ctical purposes in America. They
were opened Friday evening and great
many people were present. Nevertheless
great many others who were not there
should have been. The lemonade of which
the punch was made was very refreshing,
and I believe was nearly as great an at
Traction as the concert in the rehearsal
room.
Mrs William B. Negley entertained the
Juuta Club with a ten o'clock dinner Friday
evening. Mr.. Negley is one of the enthusi-
astic members of this little intellectual
coterie.
Good Mothers Don't Intrude.
"A young man wanted to know yester-
day If the mother of a young lady, who is re-
ceivinga man friend, shouldn't knock be-
fore she goes into the parlor where they are.
Apparently the matter hinges on the girl.
There are girls we have heard of who
pound the piano and daub canvas and
china with paint in the morning while their
mothers are polishing the stoves in the
kitchen. 1t is these same girls who sport
tea gowns while those to whom they owe
everything keep out of sight in old cotton
wrappers. 1ou can fancy that sort of a girl
ordering her mother to knock before she
comes into the parlor. Indeed, she is likely
70 20 further and forbid her coming in even
with a knock.
But, thank Heaven, there are girls and
girls. And these last are the kind that for
the best man ever made, their mothers
wOnld never be Obliged to stop and sue for
hdmIttance. Moreover mother usually is
the most thoughtful dear in the world L
am sure that, say on the day of the engage
ment OF the young doves or on the eve of
the wedding, when she and he and the moon
or the gas are alone, no well regulated
mother will intrude herself without pre-
ceding her presence by a determined
"hem."
VIII BE Rusy Week.
The young woman who wants to edo"
this week thoroughly must go TO bed after
daybreak and rise before dawn. If she is
Is in the swim, here's what will be found
written in her engagement book:
Pitcairn Decker wedding, Tuesday, 6 O'Clock,
Shadyside Church.
Wattles-Steyenson wedding Wednesday.
Rees-Scully wedding, Wednesday, O'Clock,
Darlington-Ammon wedding. Thursday,
Guyasuta, o'clock
Jones-H -Hubley wedding, Thursday.
AGd to this the numerous littlc teas, tete
tetes with bosom friends q matinee or two
and then tell me how any girl can be ex-
pected 10 keep up the acquaintance of her
own family, to say nothing OF giving her
dinples their orthodox eight hours sleep.
Nine Interesting Bridemaids.
i have been forbidden upon pain of
certain brides displeasure tc announce the
DTidemsias at Miss Rees' wedding Wednes-
day. This much will tell however. Nine
young ladies will accompany Miss Rees to
the altar, and OF them az least two are posi-
tlvely engaged, one or two are nearing de-
lciously the same fate. while the remainder
undoubtedly will soon hold the balance of
nffairS in their own hands. There will not
be any reception after the wedding, out of
consideration for the bridegroom's family,
who are still in mourning for Mr.. Scully's
father.
Miss Dolly" Pitcairn's bridal party is
much smaller than Miss Rees', consisting of
her sister, Miss Susy Pitcairn, who will be
maid of honoD Miss Street, the brides
cousin, and Miss Clementine Rees.
Another Interesting Event.
The attendants at the Darlington
Ammon wedding will be: Miss Fannie Collier.
Miss Lang, Miss Hemphill, bridemaids: Edith
Darlington Herbert and Annie HemphiIl
