SOCIETY AND CHARITY.

Ingathering of the Needlework Guild =
Contribution From the Home of Incur
ables-Pittsburg Soprano Married in
Hlinois-Musicale at Shadyside-Social
Chatter.
YESTERDAY all the attention of the
society ladies of the two cities seemed to be
taken up with the ingathering of the
! Needlework Guild. They arrived at the
Third Presbyterian Church, of Pittsburg, at
9 O'clock in the morning and stayed till
nearly six In the evening, being busy in the
work of receiving all sorts of clothing from
the many contributors who are desirous OF
helping in this excellent cause. There was
clothing of all descriptions, including made
up garments Tor people of both sexes ana
all ages, from the infant in long clothes TO
the old man and woman who require warm
fabrics to keep their blood in circulation,
and who, like the babies, care nothing Tor
the style OF garments so that they are COM
Portable. Underwear of various materials,
sacques and wrappers, nightgowns, flannel
and other skirts, women's shawls and nit
tens and mems shirts, Sheets towels, COM
forters, shoes, slippers. hoods, jerseys, ETC.
There seemed 10 be enough clothing piled
up to clothe and keep warm all the poor
people of Pittsburg twice over, but every
thing was given away before the close of the
ingathering, and more could have been dis
posed of had it been there.
The Home for Incurables was represented
by two large dolls, dressed, and a number of
pretty paper flowers. They were made by
the inmates of the Home, who, although
they received their share of the goods
brought to the ingatnering, felt that they
should do something for the benefit of the
Southside Hospital. These dolls will be
placed in the booth at the fair set aside for
the purpose of showing the ,sraces of doll
land. This is beautiful thought on
the part OF the poor sufferers, who
cannot enter very much into the pleasures
OF the outside world, and lew of whom will
be able to attend the fair in the Postoffice
building next week. Mrs. W. A Herron
president and Miss Mary +. Dawson, secre.
tarv, OF the PittsburI branch of the Needle
work Guild. were in charge yesterday, and
are spreading the influence OF the guild as
far and fast as they can. Every charity in
the two cities was remembered with big
bundles OF drygoods.
The ladies of the Pittsburg branch worked
so bard yesterday that they think it would
be advisable to give two days to the next in
gathering, so that they will have one day to
receive aud the next to send out. The Ale
gheny branch will hold its iDgathering No
vember II in Carnegie Hall. The ingather-
ing of the Southside branch will be held ON
the same day in st. Marks Guild House.
ONE of the principal social events of the
week will be the musicale Friday evening at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. S. Jarvis
Adams, at "Grand view,' Shadyside. The
proceeds are to 90 toward the furnishing of
the nurses dormitories of the Homeopathic
Hospital. The musicale will be under the
auspices of the lady managers OF the hos
pital.

time been one of the popular vocasists of this
part OF the country. Her father died last

not announced beforehand. Mr.. Adams

man of considerable reputation in the
Scottish church. Mr. and Mrs. Adams will
