TO take place in Calvary Episcopal Church
Wednesday evening week, November is,
at O'Clock. This means the uniting
of representatives of two families well
known in Pfttsburg. The bride to be
is the daughter of the late Thomas II. Car
Degie brother of the iron magnate, litera-
teur, traveller and patron of the arts, An
drew Carnegie. Mr.. Ricketson, the e1>ect-
ant groom, is a son of John f. Ricketson,
one of Pittspurg's foremost men, and grand
son of Abraham Garrison, who has been long
identified with the social and commercial
world of the Iron City.
Since shorter time that usual has elapsed
between Miss Carnegies coming out bali and
her marriage, it is evident the young ladv
has had a social triumph. Early
III the young lady's drawing room
career Mr. Ricketson was mentioned
as probably the one to be favored with her
hand, finally. So when it was announced
that marriage had been arranged it was no
matter of surprise. 1t is said Andrew Car
nepia has promised to be in Pittsbury for his
niece,s wedding. A thousand invitations
have been sent out to the church, some of
which inclosed invitations to home recep-
tion aftorWard at Fairfield" Mrs. Car
negie's town house.
Another event of the week was the
opening performance by the sewickley
Dramatic Club (they have dropped the
word valley since last year,, Thursday
evening. The reputation which this club
bears in the amateur histrionic field was
not narred by last weeks work, which was of
ane1ceedingly good character. MI. Nevin will
doubtless contribute much to keep up the
present high standard which the club has
acquir d.
BY the way two members and importan,
members at that have dropped out this sea-
son, Mrs. Rose and Mrs. Franks, something
exceedingly regretted by everyone.
