The custom OF having marriages N INC
morning, instead Of the afternoon and even
ing, is being revived in Pittsburg. Many
wears ago, we are told, It was the proper
thing to be married in the forenoon, as It Is
nowfn England, where the Episcopal Church
Is known as the Church of England. The
Catholic Church has always held to the old
custom of forenoon marriages, but other
denominations have married their members
at all times in the day, preferably In the
evening. Now it is noticeable that morning
marriages are preferred, one or two In Pitts
burg and vicinity last week having taken
place before ls o'clock, noon. Outside the
Catholic Church there are very few denoml-
nations wherein the time Of day in which
the marriage takes place affects its legality,
but the young people seem TO see little
spice of romance in the forenoon weddings
that cannot be given to it even by wax
candles and flowers at night So we NAV
expect to hear that most of the weddings
during the coming winter will take place by
the light of the morning sun before luncheon,
instead of in the afternoon or evening.
Independently of the sentimental aspect
of morning marriage it must be admitted
that it is more convenient than when it
takes place toward midnight. 1t gives an
opportunity for the friends OF the couple to
offer congratulations, and for a wedding
q pleasant part of the exercises at we'd
ding There is no hurrying away to take
midnight train, with all the stuffy discom-
forts of d sleeping car. On the contrary, the
young couple take a day train, enjoy the
scenery along the route, and do not feel as if
they were being hustled away into q strange
life whit all the miseries of a stage coach
Journey in the last century. There is much
to be said.n faVsr of forenoon weddings.
Where Summer and Winter Meet.
The great Exposition is open. While
not strictly fashionable event, in the ordi-
nary acceptation of the term. it is still
fashionable to many thousands who look
forward to it all the year as the great de-
light that is to usher in the winters gaieties.
The Exposition is the connecting link be-
tween the winter and summer pleasures, and
q very bright link it is. 1t is the fashiona-
bic thing to go to the Exposition, but one is
not required to put on full dress to attend.
1t is one of those places whore you go for
pleasure and not to make IN impression
upon your neighbors. Is that not the best
sort OF fashion, after all?
Children in Sock and Busbin.
There is great deal of interest felt in
the Fairies Carnival, to be held in Exposf-
tion Park Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evenings. So many children are to take
part that it will be event of great social
interest in the city. The little ones from
hun ndreds of families will be. in the Cast.
This talent is sufficient to insure very
large attendance. The little actors and
actresses seem to enjoy the rehearsals very
much, and the performance will be one of
the most earnest ever seen in Pittsburg.

BltOu Thcater.

The first Of the important farce comedy
engagements booked for Pittsburg this year
will occur at the Bijou this week. Hallen &
Hart, well-known and liked performers will
renew their acquaintance with local theater-
goers in a revised addition of Later On"
"Later On" like all of its class hiss an ac-
commodating stomach and can ass1milate
almost anything that meets with popular
approval. The pungent ingredients of the
past, which have served to make It's fare
palatable to amusement seekers have been
freshened, we are told, for the current
season, with much that is new and pleasing
The songs, dances, melodies and romping
incidents have been literally changed, it is
said, and with an effect of entertainment
which has boen a big surprise to even stale
theater-goers. Last year the performance
in Pittsburg found remarkable favor for
piece of its class, and established the princl-
pals as bright and resourceful entertainers.
John McWade, the baritone singer,
wlo did SO much to make "Comrades'
popular, continues with the company
as does also the Misses Ada Somers and
Mollie Fuller The other members of the
company are new. Clara Thropp, the limo
cent KID in "a Parlor Match" last year, has
taken the place Of Annie Lewis. Sadie Nc
Donald, a comely young. girl, who dances
with rare ability, will assist Miss Thropp in
making the hoydenish features snappy The
other members of the company are the
MISSES lOISuCO Deil, MeCZR0r, Car
rie Wallace Howard, Grace Wallace, Lola
Bigger, Hattie Haven, Lillian Thrush and the
Messrs. Will H. Sloan, George O'Donald,
Thomas Condon, Harry Hilton, Richard
Read, Charles Kettler and W. S. Francis
Mr. McWade will sing new song in place
of Comrades" called "My Chdm Tom"
This song is composition Of Mr.. Harts, and
has been heartily received in Chicago this
week. Among the concerted novelties an
nounced is a quaint dance, called "The
Sweet Robin Gayotte," in which the figures
are directed by singing birds. These
birds are clever limitations of the actual
flesh and blood and sing sweetly and true.
Another tunefui conceit is n serenade with
auto-harp establishment. A colleen dance
and rowing song and dance are two other
numbers which involve the chorus in ways
that are said to be especially pretty and
captivating. The girls, who form the chorus,
by the way, are spoken of as unusually good
looking, shapely, stylish, and, above all,
able to sing by right of natural voice and
cultivation This looks like novelty, sure
enough, and if Monday night confirms the
statement the Bijou is sure to focus an un-
common share of public interest next week.
To find chorus in farce comedy with an
even fair share of youth and looks on its
side, as well as voice intended to be ex-
hibited in public, will form an event that
smacks of the miraculous and is bound to
meet with an ovation. This is really the
of the dramatic year at the Bijou
and unless all the signs fail and there is no
logic in events, it Will be a scene of unusual
pleasure during the presence of Hallen and
Hart and their jolly associates in the new
Later On.'

Of the celebrated /. C. corset one Of the
greatest dressmaking authorities says: "Pa-
risians have ever paid great attention to
figure, and their corsets have not the straight
outline of those made by less skillful manu-
facturers. True, the waist must be small
and round, but the whole corset is not made
in proportion, for ample room is not allowed
for hips and bust, vast consideration when
the figure is round and well formed, with
waist of small size"
