week in the great game OF society. We
commenced as early as Monday with Mrs,
Edmund Russell, who talked to a select,
but large audience at the residence of Mrs.
c. l. Magee, on that most fascinating sub
ject, "The Art OF Expression" There is
nothing more interesting than ourselves,
and therefore, when she told her listeners
about themselves, always in a gently fatter.
ing vein, even when she pretended to criticIse
them, it is no wonder that her lecture was
declared remarkably bright and herself the
most charming of women. Although this
bright woman has had too much experience
in society not to know that, when she is in
the presence of a company of ladies,
she is being examined closely, and
every peculiarly she may possess is
remarked, she would probably have been
amused could she have heard some of the
whispered comments while she was speaking.
At the end of her lecture she said that she
would have been pleased to answer any
Questson bearing upon the subject of her
address that the ladies might like to ask,
but that, unfortunately, there was no time
for that Had there been time she would
assuredly have been asked why she folded
her arms at intervals during her discourse,
for such sotto voce remarks could be heard
in different parts of the room as
"I wonder why she folds her arms
in that manner" 81 wonder whether
she considers that grace?" 81 don't know
whether / like it or not" Then some one
said: 'Oh, she is lovely, enchanting, di-
vine And so the busy whisper circled
round, while Mrs Russell held an in
formal reception and then swept from the
room still gracefully. There seems to be
an impression in Pittsburg that this charm
ing woman is not understood-that she is
too advanced in her ideas aul SO wears
ahead OF her time in her esthetic teachings.
One interview with Mrs Russell, ami one
afternoon spent in listening to her lecture,
are enough to remove this impression en-
tirely. No one can see her aud listen to her
teachings without being convinced that
there is solid foundation Of hard, common
sense and practical knowledge OF the world
underlying her delicate and light touch on
the shortcomings of those who have not
made estheticism study.
A number of prominent Pittsburgers left
for New York last Thursday. The metrop-
oils has strong attractions tor the people of
this city Just now, the most important, per-
haps, being the football game on Thanks
giving Day.
When two young people are about to be
married and both possess youth, beauty and
goodly portion of the wealth OF the earth,
there is nothing for US to conjecture but
that they will marry for love, and love
only. Tomorrow evening there will be
such union, when Miss Lydia Sutton,
daughter OF Dr.. and Mrs. R. S. Sutton, of
Ridge avenue, will become the bride of Mr.
A. Hart Mckee. Miss Sutton is beauti-
ful girl, but aside from that is far in ad-
vance OF the average young lady intellectu-
ally. She has received an excellent educa-
tion under the guidance OF governesses and
masters, commenced in Germany and fp-
ished in New York. 1t seems almost I'M
kind to her numerous friends that. Miss
Sutton should fly from the schoolroom to
the altar Such is the case, however, for
she has only been one winter in society.
But then the lovers have been play
mates and friends all their lives, and
rs there is nothing to wait for" in
their case, they can hardly be blamed for
following their inclinatlons in this most
important of worldly affairs. The bridal
gown, to be worn en- the day of days, is OF
rich white corded silk with long train

lar of the younger ladies and gentlemen in
PIttsburg society. The maid OF honor is to
be Miss Amelia Oliver and the bridesmaids

Miss Holdship. The best man is to be Mr..

ceremony. Last evening Mr.. Mckee enter
tained a party OF his bachelor friends at
dinner at the Duquesne Club.
The Greensburg Club is to give its an
nual dance Thanksgiving evening, and in
vitstions have already been received in this
city. The committee in charge of the af-
fair are Messrs r. A. Fulton Lyon, james

Charles h Ulery and John NJ Jamison.
Although the past week did not afford
much in the way of weddings as to num-
ber, those that did take place were OF a
character to command attention and admi-
ration in high degree. Several OF the most
important weddings of the season, from a
fashionable point of view, have been SOL
emnized during the past six days. The mar
risge of Miss Susan Duff Dalzell to Mr. B.
f. Jones, Jr, has been looked forward to
with futtering hearts by hundreds of young
girls who are disposed to look upon a bride
as one possessed of awe-inspiring as well !
as lovely attributes. Many of these |
Young girls knew Miss Dalzell per.

more than usual interest. So it is no /
wonder that the immense congregation in |
the First Presbyterian Church last Wednes- |
day evening was largely composed of the |
flower OF Pittsburg's maidenly beauty. A |
prettier church wedding has seldom been
seen than this proved to be. The appoint
