RECEPTION DEFERRED.

GAASGDs
Mrs. Sumner Will Not Give an Art Recep-
ton. Though Pittsbursers Individually
Are Good Patrons-A Crotchet Is Crochet
Tea Table Talk.
Mrs. FRANCES SUMNER has decided not
to give an art reception during her present
visit. Instead, she has contented herself
with calling upon acquaintances, or the ac-
quaintances of acquaintances, to induce, or
more correctly to revive an interest in
etchings. Really there hasn't been much
trouble in doing this, for Pittsburg people
were always wonderfully hosp1table to tins
example of art IN black and white. In lieu
OF the larger. formal art reception, Mrs;
Summer has had the walls of her suite of
rooms in the Monongahela House hung with
some OF the most exquisite of the etchings
she brought with her, and here her friends,
or appreciative people, are made exceed
fngly welcome. Her rooms last week were
the Mecca of many travellers on the road to
art knowledge, and many more are expected
this week which will be Mrs Summers last
act. for the present, in Pittsburg. A few
choice water colors makes the collection
very complete one for connoisseurs.
CoLTART square last night was the scene
of much enjoyment, inasmuch as Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph A Glesenkamp's residence goes
occasion was the christening Of Joseph

earth; The house was beautifully decorated
with flowers, etc., also being enhanced by
charming array of young ladies. friends of
Mrs. Glesenkamp. A collation. served by
Hagan was tastily placed on the festal board
and as heartily enjoyed by the guests.
Many bright. appropriate and happy re-
marks were made for the young couple and
especially for the heir who promises to be
was toastmaster, while L. Glesenkamp, the
happy grandfather, was most efficient
master of ceremonies.
Among the guests present were: Mr.. and
0'Neil Mr. and Mrs. A; J. Carr Mr; and Mrs
Maggie Ms and c.mnbsi ass Miss Asss Asne hass Mss
Adam Hess, all of Wheeling, the home of
Mrs. j. A. Glesenkamp. Some Of the young
gentlemen present were: G. ID. Swearegin,
John L. ONeil, Edwin Riley, S. B. Thompson
and S. Lemeul Behrmann.
'BURT" is disturbed over the disposal Of
awhite crocheted necktie and writes to THE
DISPATCH regarding his trouble. We do not
wear such a necktie, have never worn one,
nor do not expect soon to do so. So we
profess not to be authority, on when 1t is in
season or out of season. But Ward Nc
Allister, on dress in town, at our request,
comes to "Burt's" aid. A white silk croch-
dress, 1. e., with formal swallow tail coat and
low cut vest; first, because it is not good
form-a reply which is not an answer-and
secondly, since this sort of tie is neces-
sarily afour-in-hand, it would be too short
for low cut vest 1t is, however, emf
nently to wear it, say. in semi-evening dress,
and when one is calling upon the dear one
who made it. Undoubtedly she will think it
needs adjustment, and then-and then-but
why should the writer venture to force his
1mpertlnent third person upon such scene?
MRs. ANDREW BoYCE, Secretary of the
w. Z. T. u, has written to Lady Henry
Somerset regarding her cousins promised
visit, but has not yet received an answer.
The arrangements for Lady Henry's recep-
tion will be compl eter til an those were for
her expected arrival in November.

will draw larger audience there than
at the Smithfield NJ. f. Church. 1t is felt
that while there would not be open hostil-
ity to a church building there might be
coolness. The place of lecture will not be
selected until Lady Somerset gives posi-
tive assurance of her coming.
THE School of Design for Women has ar
ranged to defer their tableaux until Janu-
ary 10. 1t would not be convenient to give
them earlier than that in the Pittsburg Club
Theater, now being refurnished, and it would
not be preferable to give them elsewhere.
Without exactly making plea for the en-
tertainment, still it wouldn't be q bad plan
for the friends of the girls to remember the
School of Design about Christmas and lay
aside something against the arrival of the
tableaux. They will be very clever, very
swell, and unite the correct function to at
tend in January.
For Thanksgiving Day special pro-
gramme of music has been arranged at the
Third Presbyterian Church, to be sung bv
the regular choir. Miss May Beesley, So
prano: Mrs. Mary R. Scott, contralto; Mr.. F.
j. Jussman, tenor; Mr.. W. B. Edwards, bass;
Prof. j. II. Cuttings, organist. The pro-
gramme is: praise the Lord" quartet, Mo-
zart; 81 Will Extol Thee" soprano solo from
the oratorio "Eli," Costa" ''Thou Visitest
the Earth, quartet, W. H. Callcott: Jubilate,
tenor and soprano solos and quartet ar
ranged from the "Staboat Mater of Rossini,
Introducing the "Inf1ammatus."
A SMALLER audience than that on Satur-
day, due, no doubt, to the weather, greeted
Mrs. Parker last night at the Pennsylvania
College for Women. The lady continued her
interesting lecture on dress and reform,
though omitting some of the most interest
ing details concerning the new fad in under
wear, as gentlemen had been invited to be
present. Mrs. Parker stays in town for few
days.
