FOR THOSE WHO SUFFER.

The Fruit and Flower Mission Asks the AID
of the Generous Hearted-Miss Tindle
| Lends Her ParIors for the Event-Other
! Things.
| People will please permit themselves to
be reminded once more that the colonial tea
for the Fruit and Flower Mission will be
given this afternoon in Miss Elizabeth
| Tindle's house on Penn avenue. A miscon-
ception OF the nature OF the tea has arisen,
which Miss Tindle desired to have removed.
The tea is not private function requiring
an invitation but all who desire and
who are interested in the Fruit and Flower
Mission are requested to consider themselves
for admission. which is half dollar. Miss
Tindle kindly lent her parlors, Whlcn are
most excellent for the purpose, and in no
sense is the tea to be considered rs an lnV1-
tation affair.
The parlors were partly in trim yesterday
afternoon for to-day. All the lower floor is
crashed. and the furniture being removed
trimmed with pink for the different classes
of goods on sale. Among the ladies who are
prominently connected with the work are:
Miss Harding. President; Miss Elizabeth
Tindle, Miss Mary Holmes, Miss Kate Nc
Knight, Mrs. C. I. Mckee, Mrs. Thomas NJ
Mckee, Miss Sara Scott. Miss Emma Suydam,
Miss Alice Lyon Miss Eranees ,isa Neis
Metcalf, Miss Ruth Bailey, Miss Hawortn,
Miss Maidie Forsyth. Miss Bessie Howe, the
Misses Ricket son and Miss jackson. The
tea Will Dartake of the nature OF the perloo
indicated in the title Colonial tea"
For some reason Pittsburg has been the
favored spot for little tender affairs theatre
cal to come to the surface. Already several
weddings in what we rather indefinitely
term "the profession" have been announced
in this city during the season. An agreeable
bit of intelligence for the thorough-going
play lover is the engagement, just made
known, of Miss Jessie Story, the charming
young ingenue of the "Niobe" Company, to
Mr.. Edwin Paulton, who, with his father,
collaborated in that very successful farce
comedy. Mr.. Paulton, Jr., also was the
joint author with Mr.. Paulson, Sr., of the
libretto of "Erminie'' and several other we'll
known plays, the names of which cannot
be recalled at the moment Friends pleas
antly say that Miss Storys only rival in Mr..
Paulton's affections is the chic Miss Hattie,
the character in his own play, in which his
sweetheart appears. Miss Story is consider
ably prettier off the stage than she is before
the footlights, and everyone knows DOW
fascinating she is in the tart role. The little
romance is to be crowned by marriage, 1t Is
SAID, sometime in the early summer. A
bright future awaits Mr.. Paulton, who, by
the way is an Englishman, one OF the rising
writers for the stage of to-day.
A quiet ceremony yesterday transformed
Miss McVay into Mrs. William B. Rodgers,
the nuptials being celebrated in Mr.. McVay's
house in Sheffield street. Only few rela-
ives and friends were present owing to the
fact that the family are in mourning, but this
did not hinder the event from displaying an
elegance equal to any fun ction of the winter.
The flowers were solely white blossoms
plentifully interspersed with leaves and
plants, so as to produce the effect of green
and white wedding. The wedding dress was
of satin made a la mode. Neither bride nor
bridegroom were attended. The Rev. Mr..
Cowl performed the marriage.
Social Chatter.
AMONG the young ladies, who have been
visiting in Pittsburg, none is more attrac-
tive than Miss Dick. of Meadville. who is, at

miserable pun, that she has taken captive
several promising young representatives OF
the other sex.

Metcalf McElroy, the date of which is set
for O'Clock Tuesday evening, February 2,
