The pretty Pittsburg Club Theater wa
full last night at the opening OF the one
hundred and eighty-second reception OF the
Art Society. These receptions are always
enjoyable, and it Is seldom that an invita-
tfon Is not used. There was an exhlDltlon
os attractive photographs and autosy pes
part OF the large and varied assortment OF
art objects gathered in the course OF MS
travels by Mr.. Charles S. Graham, who
kindly loaned them to the Art Society for
its reception. Besides this there was an IN
teresting musical programme under the al
rection Of Miss Lois Bella Cory, the soprano,
who has recently returned from Dresden,
where she has been pursuing her musical
studies. Her voice is very clear and sweet,
nnd her selections were warmly applauieu
by her listeners. Mr.. John T. Irwin played
several numbers on his violin in his own
fnimitabe manner, and Mr.. Carl Retter pre-
sided ut the piano With these artists. and
programme that included the names OF
most OF the great masters, 1t 10 almost sI-
perfuous to say that a, rare musical treat
was enjoyed. The Art Society Is. u popular
organization, and is becoming better known
ana liked every day.
last evening by the Epworth League of the
North Avenue M. E. Church, Allegheny, be-
fore very large audience. Miss Sue E.
Lytle was in charge, and she did her work
well. for her selection of contributors to the
pleasure OF the evening could hardly have
been excelled. Tableaux, illustrating scenes
from dsncrent books, were presented,
the audience guessing the names of the
works represented. Some of the guesses
were long. way from the right answer but
eventually all were named by some one in
the room: Miss Stella Booher, read paper
on 1.-THE Origin OF Ben Hur," and n charnc.
ter sketch of Portia was the Offering of Miss
Shallenberger. There was an oration by Mr.
Edward Young, flute solo by Mr.. Jackson
II ptanoforte selection by Miss Lillian
Smith, and singing by the Epwortn Ocsette,
The entertainment was brought to close
by well-considered address on "The Book
of Books, by the pastor of tho church, Rev
w. S. Lockward.
TUESDAY is regarded as one of the FASH
ionable nights OF Pittsburg. As u rule there
arc number of receptions and other social
affairs in progress on that evening. and
society generally takes up its mind to be
puzzled to attend all tie entertainments to
which it receives Invitations. Last night
was rather an exception to the rule. 1t
offered very few society events for consid.
GRAFTON, the principal one being the Art So
cioty reception, which was certainly enjoy
able enough to make up for the scarcity of
private parties and the utter lack of FASH
ionnble weddings. 1t is possible that All
Halloween, which this year insisted upon
coming OH the plebeian Monday, took the
place of the usual Tuesday gatherings.
Whatever the cause, it Is TACT that u
qufeter Tuesday in the society world Of
Plttsburg has not been seen this season.

Society Of the Southside Hospital N rela-

that their efforts in noble cause will be
crowned with success. 81
