Bind Two Hearts Together at Point Breeze
Church-Concert for the Benefit OF a
scho 'arship at the Pennsylvania College
"A Chronicle of Social Events.
A PRETTY wedding, such as should satisfy
the most fastidious taste, took place last
night in Point Breeze Presbyterian Church
the Rev. Mr.. Renham officiating at the cere-
mony, which united Miss Carrie Paisley and
Mr.. Graft. The church was prettily ar
ranged with flowers by Patterson, and, itself
dainty edilce, it's beauty was much en-
hanced thereby. The ceremony was SOL
emnized at $50, and by that hour Fifth
avenue was lined with carriages of attendant
guests. The Fifth avenue entrance of the
church was for the general visitors, the
side entrance being used solely by the we'd
ding party and the house guests.
The ceremony, with the ring observance,
though very simple, was replete with beauty
and solemnity, the clergyman charging the
young couple with their duty both earnestly
and clearly. The bridal party consisted Of
eight ushers, maid of honor, two tiny chill
dren, little page, and & flower girl and the
best man. Miss Paisley looked ex-
tremely striking in her wedding
gown, and slight paleness, notice
able as she returned from the altar,
accentuated the fair purity of her COM
hair, and is considered one oil the hand
soonest girls in Pittsburg. She is also very
popular, and many good wishes for her
future could be heard expressed in all di-
rections last night. The church was filled
with people, some of which were compelled
to stand by reason of the fact that the church
ii hardly large enough TOR wedding, as
weddings gonowadays Unfortunately, too,
the aisles are scarcely large enough at parts
for a procession to pass conveniently along
MANY pretty gowns were worn at the
church by those afterward attending the re-
ception given by Mr.. Paisley at his house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Graft left last night for the
East.
MADAME MARIE DECCA arrived in town
yesterday ACCOMPANIED by her husband. Mr..
Chrisman, and is at the Monongahela House,
where she remains during her stay in Pitts
burg. At first it had been intended that
Mime. Decca should be the guest of her friend,
Miss Ewing, who is Secretary of the Scholar
ship Benefit, but illness in the household of
the young lady precluded all possibility of
SO pleasant an event. Last night Mime. Decca
was the recipient of many calls, as she has a
wide circle of friends in the city, who always
entertain her when an opportunity is afforded
them. She is in the best of health and spirits
and is looking expectantly forward to q
summer tour with the Marine Band, whose
favorite soprano she has been for several
seasons.
Arrangements are being planned for re-
ception on Friday afternoon at the Penn
sylvania College, when the pupils will have
the pleasure of meeting the lady who sings
tonight at their concert. Miss Pelletreau
and the committee have charge of the re-
ception. Though it is not intended to issue
formal invitations the PERCEPTION will not be
general to the public, as it would be impos-
sible for Madame Decca to meet large as
sem blage of people. Only the pupils and q
few outside friends will be present.
The following is the programme for the
concert tonight at Carnegie Hall:

A few words regarding the object of the
concert, which is the first entertainment OF
agreeable phase about the purposed Helen
e. Pelletreau Scholarship. The name of the
beneficiary will be known only to the prin-
cipal of the college, on whose judgment the
committee of the fund are entirely willing
to rely, and if pill it should be to any young
woman to be aided in this way, surely all
that delicacy can do to sugar-coat it
has been done. To illustrate this, one of
the committee tells story. One of the
cleverest young students at the Pennsyl-
vania College until recently was the daugh-
ter of wealthy parents but by the ups and
downs of the American world of commerce,
she found herself recently, within a few
months of graduation, without the means Of
paying the remaining tuition fees. The
state of affairs, and said she must accord
ingly withdraw. Fortunately the needful
sum was small, and the young lady
can finish her college course by
1ez on of E
absolutely a private matter between the
principal and the pupil. Already young
lady's name is mentioned as the recipient
of the scholarship benefits this coming
year. She is in a like predicament, but
worse. since her graduation is a year farther
off. Her natural parts and her capacity for
studying have always attracted her tutors,
and it is felt that in her case the seed will
be sown in good ground.
Another thing. The committee are willing
to look upon the scholarship as a loan fund
to young woman thus temporarily pinched,
who in after years is privileged, If she so de-
sires and be!able, to refund it.
The concert tonight is under the wing Of

pursed-up mouths in the church last night,
during the Rev. Mr.. Benhams' admonitory
council to Miss Paisley and MI. Graft.
Several wives forgot that they were in
church and looked at their husbands in
sort of furious fashion, as though they
would say, "Do you think would obey you,
when 1 know you haven't half as much
sense as 1 have" 1t appears that Mr.. Ben
ham dwelt more particularly upon that part
of the marriage ceremony teaching that
the husband is over his wife, as Christ
is over his Church, than clergymen of
these days usually venture to do. in view of
the fact that many of their fair pensioners
are protesting loudly against it. One young
lady. who is said to be engaged, gave an in
dignant snort. and said that Mr.. Benham
should never off1ciate at her wedding. An
all her enjoyment in looking forward to
marriage in the abstract was destroyed for
ever.
