Ceramic Clubs exhibition in the Academy
of Science and Art was something novel as
well as interesting. The art of painting on
china is not new, but the form in which it
was shown at the Ceramic Clubs reception
was sufficiently different from anything else
of the kind to attract general attention.
Much of the work shown was of high
order, although accomplished by ladies who
are not classed as professionals. OF so high
an order was the standard of merit, that the
club will be sure to make a creditable dis
play at the Worlds Fair, provided arrange
ments are made for an exhibition there. The
President, Mrs. Liljigren, of the Duquesne
Club, says there have been many applica-
tions for membership from young ladies who
want to get their work on exhibition at the
Worlds Fair. She hopes that that is not
the only incentive, because it is the purpose
of the Duquesne Club to remain in existence
for long time after the Worlds Fair. 1t
must be said that the great interest taken in
the club does not bear out the Presidents
apprehensions in this respect
There never has been more creditable
organization than the Needlework Guild of
Pittsburg. 1t is in existence for the good
it can do, and not for the social pleasure of
its members. Next to supplying food to
the hungry, there is nothing more import
ant than to clothe those who cannot procure
proper garments save with the help of the
charitable. The 'Ingathering" held at the
Third c. P. Church on Wednesday showed
what deep and tar-reaching interest there
is in this work. Clothes of all kinds, for
III - 5 of Latb
sexes, was brought in, and the benevolent
spirit of those who managed the affair was
shown in a thousand ways as the bundles
were made up and sent to the needy. ANY,
one can become a member of the Needle
work Guild Men, women and children
are invited to assist-if not by work, at
least by contributing clothing. There are
plenty of people needing garments to cover
them at all times in Pittsburg.
Last week the most important wedding
during Lent took place. 1t was that of
Miss Wertheimer and Mr. L. Rauh. The
religious belief of the participants is not at
fected by Lenten observance, and hence the
marriage could take place within the 40
DAYS as well as at any other time.
The residence which appears at the head
of this column to-day will be recognized
as that of Mrs. Martha Chambers, on Fifth
avenue, near Anderson, East End.
Next Sunday will be Easter. The melan-
choly DAYS of sackcloth and ashes are nearly
over, and we are getting ready to lay aside
repentance for another u months-that is,
formal repentance. 1t is to be hoped that
the sad season has not been without its good
influence upon our spiritual as well as cor
poreal natures
Mrs David Kirk gave a small but de-
lightful dinner FRIDAY evening at her
home, Sylvan Terrace, Oakland, in honor of
Miss Laura Jennings, of Parker, and Miss
Blanche Chapman, of Bradford.
