Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-09-04

The fall season Is with us en- d society is
turning its gaze from the seashore and
mountains toward the pleasures of the city.
Inc leaves will begin to turn soon, and then
We shall have forgotten all about the heated
term and the consequent discomfort II is
interesting to note that the costumes of the
ladies are to harmonize with the bright
hued leaves of the fall, and that the prepa-
rations of dressmakers and milliners all
tend toward complete revolution in dresses
and bonnets for the coming season. Thus
the regret at the departure of summer will
be tempered by the knowledge that there
are novelties in dress in store for the
woman of taste, and that she will be able
to shine as resplendently in the heavier
garments of winter as she did in the gossa-
mers of summer
The first of September has not only made
change in the amusements of the average
Pittsburger The churches are nearly all to
open to-day for the fall and winter The
pastors who followed their congregations
to the summer resorts, and in some cases to
Europe, are generally back again, and the
services will be conducted in the usual
manner, aud the pevs will be well filed
with the congregation eager to take part in
them. Everything suggests the approach
of cooler weather, and there is general satis-
faction rhat the heat and work of enjoying
summer amusemeutC are about over.
Change is great thing for tired human
nature, even wheL it il only q change of
season
An event Of importance In Alleg heny

The orange fets at Edgswood Thursday
was Enovelty that caught the fancy of all
the guests OF Mira A W. Cadmsn The
liberal use Of golden-rod suggested that
there could hardly be better selection
than this graceful blossom for national
flower. Golden-rod wss used everywhere
shout the spacious lawn, and delightful
effect 1t made sgainst the dark greenery OF
the trees and grass in the soft glow of the
electric light and Chinese lantern. Every
thing that could be Of an orange hue, such
as the drapery OF the booths and tables, was
made SO and the general appearances ofthe
lawn and house was a restful and brilliant
combination almost inoescribable. Above
ell, it was 9 great triumph for the ladies
connected with the fete, for they realized a
goodly sum toward the organ that they are :,
determined to purchase for the new Pros
byterian church At Edgewood The orange
fete idea is splendid one.
The social event of Importance at Hazel
wood this week will be the lawn fete in the
interest Of the new Church of the Good
Shepherd 1t will be held on the beautiful

TIE teaohers who worked so hard ss Re
eeption Committee at the opening of the
new Homewood school this week deserve
particular credit for the success OF the
housewGrming. Il was not an easv task to
move about all day and show the hundreds
Of visitors over the building, but the young
ladies Of the school carried it through, and
every guest ielt that he was welcome, and
that 1t wag the pleasure of the Reception
Committee to contribute toward his comfort
and enjoyment There were gentlemen on
the Reception Committee too, who were
earnest In their duties, but their gallantry
will assuredly give the ladies precedence
In mention.
Mrs. Henry Browns luncheon last Thurs

4 lovely combination of soft green silk,
white lace and orchids. A bunch of the

The Boyd family reunion for this year Is
8 thing OF the past 1t was a most interest
ing thing to see the meeting of so many
members of a large and honorable kindred,

fore, although knowing each other so well
by name. Such conventions are encourag-
ing, in that they prove how a sturdy stock

year to year. The BoyGs are an honor to
their respective communities as any one
will testify who was present st the reuni on

evening MIR. Simeon Bissel has arranged |
delightful programme of vocal and instru- |
mental numbers and elocutionary selections !
tor the occasion.
The past week has not been devo id of So /
cial interest in Pittsburg. There was the |
Harvest Home Festival on Mt. Washing |
ton, under the auspices of Grace Episcopal |
Church, which was such a charming enter
tainment from every point of view. The |
idea Is pleasant one, and 1t is well that |
the old-iashioned harvest home" can be |
celebrated in such delightful manner. 1t |
IS too late in the season for the example to |
be followed TO any great extent now, but no
doubt it will be popular form of enter
tainment next year.
Among the most charming hostesses of
tile week was little Grace Haskell, of Se-
wickley, who entertained number of her
wee friends Thursday to celebrate her
