Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-11-22


Those not playing the game did not see
the full significance of the rivalry in the
three weddings this season at Shadyside
PRESBYTERIAN Church. Undoubtedly friends
In each case were taxed to the utmost in an
endeavor not only to have a pretty we'd
ding, but to have the prettiest of the three
weddings They say that when the first
wedding came off the remaining two brides
to-be were in an agony of suspense lest
some of their particular ideas should be an
ticipated, and neither were satisfied until
after repeated assurances had been given
that their plans might still remain intact.
For novelty Miss Rees' wedding un-
doubtedly carried off the honors; for beauty
but there / was nearly caught mapping. L
think that Miss Pitcairn's wedding was not
anv prettier than Miss Dilworth's, nor Miss
Dilworth's than Miss Rees'. 1t was an
other case Of

or, what applies to one applies to all
Trfumphs of the Mother-in-Law.
This is a mother-in-law-to-bes season and
that lady is having her innings. One now
not month old-that is to say, though she is
Of dignifed middle age, she became mother
in-lsw only a month ago-put down the soft
pedal so 70 speak, with so much force that
not bit of music was TO be heard at her
daughters wedding. Pianissimo, pianissi-
more, pianissimost, the son-in law gave in
there's an end. Another mother-in-law-to-
he objected recently 10 farewell bachelor
parties: she said her daughter was making
no public regrets about the matter and she
didn't think her elected son-in-law had a
bit more reason for doing so. This mother
in-law-to-be triumphed also, but / have
heard tell that son-in-law VOWS a VOW that
when "to-be" becomes 81 am" mother-in-
law will not be Sin it,
Interesting Wedding at Youngstown.
One of the most brilliant weddings that
have taken place this season in Youngs-
town, and one that was of interest to a
great many people in three States, was that
of Mr.. Gustavus A. Weaver and Miss Rose
Marie Deibel. 1t took place Wednesday
forenoon. Rev. Father Mears officiated,
celebrating high nuptial mass at st. Col
umba's Church. The bride is a lovely
Young lady. After the ceremony break
fast was served at the brides residence In
the evening a reception was held at Wick
Hall. After the reception the young peo-
pie left for an extended Western tour.
People were present from Augusta, KY,
Cleveland, Warren, Mansfield and Akron,
O., Pittsburg and Allegheny. The brides
maids were Miss Pauline Weaver, Miss
Carrie Diebel and Miss Mamie Pfaus, while
the groom was attended by Harry Weaver,
Mr.. George Rhein and Mr.. Edward Delbls.
Thanksgiving Rop at the Kenmawr.
The Thanksgiving hop at the Kenmawr
Hotel has been anticipated by four to five
days, taking place last night in the hotel par
lors. 1t was an unusually delightful affair
indeed these events always are delightful,
bringing the members of the big household
and their friends together in very pleas

Amateur Theatricals in Pittsburs.
Amateur theatricals are exceedingly
dull this season. The Sewickley Valley Club
hss presented itself but once, and the Tues
day Night Club not at all That this last
important organization should be appar-
emily so dilatory is easily explained by the
condition Of the Pittsburg Club Theater,
which will not be ready for use until the
middle or last of December. That un-
christened ard unnamed club of Young peo-
ple-somebody facetiously calls it 'The
Little Brother of the Tuesday Night Club"
probably because the older fashionable club
looks upon it as similar TO a troublesome
younger brother-which gave 'The Rivals

These boys made splendid debut. 1 have

reputation. The rehearsals are progressing
favorable at Mrs. John Walkers house in

be gathered up among the boys also.
What the Boys Will Put On.
-"Chums" is light farce in one act. It
was played several years ago by the Harvard
bows and is of nature to- interest college
bows. Harry Bred comes home from college.
He is ''no better nor no worse" than other
college bows. he studies sometimes and
amuses himself always. Like orthodox
parents. ~. and Mrs. Breed believe in their
boy as the brightest, finest, most studlous
Young man in the world. They want him
to marry an unknown cousin. Not vlo-
lently taken with the idea of giving his
heart to possible odious bit of teminlnity,
Harry, meeting his chum, tells his trouble,
and his ehum dresses up as this girl cousin.
