| fERHAPS 1t Is not generally known that
| Mrs.Iarv1s Adams town house on Fifth ave-
| nue. commands the finest view in Pittsburg.
| Inc sweep of the country seen from the Gu
pola is something magnificent, and bears out
ohe story we hear at and away from home that
| suburban Pittsburg is a beautiful Pittsburg.
| The fashionable function given by Mrs.
Adams on Tuesday was one of the largest
| that hostess has given for some time. They

| and more delightful manner than the best
| G0nno1sseur OF the science in Pittsburg.

THE tickets for the strawberry festival at
the Young Woman's Christian Associa-
tion make one almost scent the delicious
OdOr Of the wild berry in the air. The
strawberry season is now ushered in, and
with the fine big berries (they never were
better than they are this year, and this is no
advertisement for sany grocer, either) 1t
should be most successful. The strawber-
r1es at the assoc1ation's festival last night
can be vouched for as worthy of the de-
lightful, variety Of fruit to which they be-
long. The event was very satisfactory In
the matter of attendance and monetarily
also. Miss Mary Dawson. the President re-
ported it to be most satisfactory festival,
and one. she thought. that was an indication
of the big place this association occupies in
the large hearts of the East End people.

sister of the bride, 1t Is said will be the maid

be very smart, and since it will likely be a
really summer ceremony, it doubtless also
will be very picturesque one.
THE munif1cent gift of Mrs. william Thaw,
