A CHURCH EVENT.

| a CHUkCH EVENT.
The shadyside Presbyterian Congregation
Will Celebrate Its Twenty-hhh Ami
versary-Lawn Tennis ON Saturdays
Something in q Nsmc-society Gossip.
SHADYsIDE Presbyterian Church will
commemorate the completion of a quarter
of q century's existence by special services
on this coming Friday and next Sunday
partaking particularly on the second occa
sion of q peculiar interest since the newly
completed Sunday school building will then
be occupied for the first time. This build
ing should have been ready good while
sooner, in fact it was promised three months
ago, but as 1t is considered to be most COM
plete in every way, the delay doubtless will
not be grudged.
Shadysidc Church is well known as one OF
the prettiest sacred edifces in the East End.
Fashionable young women have been mar
ried there in numbers during the two past
seasons, and it Is said that its beautiful in
terror had much to do with the revival of
church weddings in such numbers as have
occurred lately in Pittsburg.
The anniversary thus is seen to be Of social
as we'll as of church interest.
The little party of tennis players who
have the "open sesame to Guyasuta, is
doubtless delighted to learn that the OAR
Hngton's Will keep open house on Satur-
days as heretofore during the entire sum-
mer. Within the last few years since
tennis became part Of the American girls
education, Guyasuta has always been noted
for its clever players, and its beautiful
grounds have on several occasions been the
scene of some crack amateur games. And
the young people at Guyasuta have seldom
been outmatched by their visitors. Miss
Minnie Darlington and her brother being
accounted players of very fine games.
Miss Edith Darlington, now Mrs. Ammon,
also has achieved a reputatio rather more
than local as tennis player.
Saturdays have been set apart for tennis
from time immemorial-that is, this day
dates back as Jar as the first tennis playing
at Guyasuta. The girls usually go up the
night before OF early Saturday morning, and
in the afternoon are Joined by the men from
P1ttSburg.
Another agreeable phase of life at Guya-
suta is the numerous sketchiug parties
organized by Miss Darlington of the set in
which she moved at the School of Design,
pitality, almost similar in kind to that of
the old English country house, has gathered
around her little coterie of friends, who
desire nothing better than few days visit
to her lovely home on the banks Of the
Allegheny.
PEOPLE living on Forbes avenue probably
don't know that after q temporary respite
they have been elevated to the dignity of
living again on q street. It has returned to
plain Forbes street. 1t is said that one man
was constrained to appeal to Coun-
ellis for the recovery of its just,
proper and original name from hearing
some poor soul refer to it as Forbes avenue.
He, when Highland avenue, after being
hono ie lor
spirited discussion arose. and villif1cation
heape on the vandals who were DIotting
out hi storical associations. As matter of
fact it ne yer should have been Hiland, and
the name was always a modification to its
Henry Hiland who WAS afraid the
people would think he desired to hand his
name down to posterity. 1t was intended
to be called Highland because it was on
high land. And people will remember that
Highland Park bore that name ever since it
was park.
There are few people who cling to the
familiar romantic Shady Lane, probably
because they either knew it when it was
lane and a narrow lane too, with the taw-
thorn trees lining each side and their
above, or because they love the old
for the sake of a generation gone
by. But the new residents like Shady
avenue, simply because they came in with
the changed order of things, and the lane
and its associations recall no past and tell
no story to them.
