THE Columbus Club has arranged for q
fete and summer night concert at Silver
Lake Grove next Tuesday, for which invita-
tions are being issued by the Chairman, Mr..
P. ]. McNulty. The concert will begin at 4
o'clock in the afternoon, continuing until
midnight. There will be no admission ex-
cept by invitation, over which very severe
scrutiny will be held owing to the fact that
o small impromptu dance on the fine plat
form at the grove will probably form the
termination to the evenings proceedings.
Guenther's orchestra will be present., and
the programme augmented by a number of
vocalists, who will entertain with singing.
THE people who form what might be
termed the Linden Club set have a graceful
way of making welcome strangers who como
within the gates of the Boulevard, which
has been much admired. As soon as the
newly esta ablished residents have received
the formal round of calling, and are ap-
proved by o sort OF a universal nnspolzen
praise, they are taken into the inner circle
at dance in the club house. 1t is totally
informal, no cards being issued, and, in
stead, little verbal invitations given by an
impromptu committee formed of every
available energetic person. People new to
Pitt ,burg sociaI life are charmed with the
novelty. especially when they have been re-
cipients of this graceful method OF hospf-
tality.
IN order to encourage Pittsburg women
in the straight ana narrow path which Will
finally lead to full dress at the theater, her
milliner is conceiving the prettiest and tiniest
creations of head gear. In business circles
where women deal the decision that they
must spend more money has been reached.
The little bonnets for theater and opera use
are such midgets that they could almost be
wrapped up in the bank notes required for
their purchase, but the same criticism cannot
be made of the price. Contamination, 1t Is
said, will soon crown the efforts that have
been and still continue TO be made to induce
Pittsburg ladies to observe more brilliancy
in their gowning at entertainments
A reputation for fine frocks has been
gained by some of the beautiful women of
Pittsburg, who, however, are strongly indif-
ferent in the one particular at which this
article aims.
Miss ANNA GRAFT, of Sewickley, will
be one OF the particular attractions which
the Sewicklev valley Club expects to
present when the "Russian Wedding"
is given in the autumn at Choral Hall. The
young lady, who comes of gifted family of
the suburb, has been in New York, receiving
instructions in reading and Delsartism, from
some of the best metropolitan teachers, who
concur in thinking her natural parts to be
most promising Her re-appearance in
Sewickley will be awaited with much
eagerness. Miss Anna is not the only clever
young woman in her family. Miss Elfsey
Graf, her sister, now visiting in Lakewood,
distinct merit. Both young ladies are ex-
tremely attractive in appearance.
LADY HENRY SOMERSET has got into the
bad graces of her country women and men
by praising her recent hosts, the American
people, somewhat at the expense OF the peo-
pie of her native land.
An English paper sneers at her in this
fashion: "The title-loving Americans made
much of her-in fact, simply idolized her.
In the United States SO dearly are the mem
bers of the nobility loved that there is little
or nothing the Yankees would not do for a
mere lordling. let alone for the daughter of
on earl, the sister of a duchess and the
daughter.in-law of a duke" Gail Hamilton
Is taking up Lady Henry's and the Ameri-
can peoples cudgels ior them.
