oil 1asll0naDle importance, more or less
worthy of note One of the prettiest, which
was characterized by quiet taste snd absence
of display, WAS that Of Miss Adelaide Paul.
SOD and Mr. James Aiken Grler. Tuesday

What robust scrap book the girl of the
period must have if she saves all the pretty
things that are said about her in newspa-
pers, say from the time of her coming out
ball until about year or so after her mar
riagel However much she may rave about
being ''kept so constantly before the ewes
of the public" there is not the slightest
doubt but that she cuts out every line that
is written about her in ''those horrid news
papers" and arranges them carefully in a
book, and that the same book finds an hon.
ored place among her dearest treasures.
First of all, there are innumerable sur
misses among her friends as to when she
Will 'come out" They have to be pub
lished, and when she does come out full
nf haro
complishents, etc, has to be given. Then.
of course, she is dined, teaed, luncheoned
theatered, carried abroad, perhaps, snd back
again, all of which receives due notice, and
accordingly tho scissors are brought to bear
upon the case. But not until she becomes
engaged can she be said to make any great
headway in her scrap book making.
To cut a long story shori, if she is q pop
ular girl, by the time she has collected all
that is said about her from the announce
ment of her engagement until she is home
from her wedding trip and has received all
over again the dinners, teas; ETC.. it will be
seen that the fair maiden's book will have
grown to good healthy size.
1t is not very startling news to say that
times have changed since our grandmothers'
days, but IN those times young woman's
social career was given about four lines of
paid matter" in newspaper. That was
the notice of her marriage, and then her
husbands name took up part of the space.
Mrs Wilson McCandless has rented her
residence on Stockton avenue Allegheny,
and has taken up winter quarters at the
Monongahela House.
There Will be more than a social interest
centered in the Riviera tea at the residence
of Mrs. Joseph Dilworth next Thursday
afternoon. That beautiful charity, the
Children's Hospital, is to be benefited bv
the entertainment, and where is the woman
who dees not feel her heart stirred to the
core by the thought of being able to do
something for the little sufferers who are
taken care of in the bright, cheerful home
on the green hill on Forbes street? The
Board of Managers have issued a limited
number of invitations because it would be
impossi bic to receive all who would like to
take part In the entertainment at Mrs. Dill
worth's mansion, commodious as it is
There is no doubt that every invitation will
be used. Besides the pleasure of drinking
a cup of tea in congenial society, there will
be that of listening to a paper on s'The
Riviera" to be read by Mrs. Strong Vim
cent.
The Misses Kirk, of Darrah street, Oak.
land, leave this week for New York CITY,
where they Will remain during the winter.
A wedding that will doubtless be one of
the larges. aud most pretentious of the sea-
son is to come off after the Lenten time in
New York. 1t will be that of Miss Maud
I of e. NJ
Lorillard, and Mr.. T. Sufern Taller, whose
engagement was announced at Tuxedo last
Wednesday. The couple are among the
fortunate few who possess youth, beauty,
wealth and are inclosed in the select circle
of New York's four hundred.
The latest engagement announced is that
Of Miss Arthurs, only daughter of Mrs.
BidLIe Arthurs. and DR. B. NJ. Hanna
The Art Society is to be congratulated on
having taken up the matter of thanking
Sir. Carnegie once more for his munifcent
gift Of a public library to the city of Pitts |
burg. 1t is not TO be supposed that Mr..
needed any assurance that Pitts
burg was grateful to him for his interest in
her artistic welfare, but the action OF the
Society in passing resolutions to that
effect last week was graceful act, notwith-
standing.
Ms. William b. Findley, of GreenviIle,
