Most people know that it is bad taste to
be absent-min3ed in company, but reason
is given for its being bad taste that should
have more weight than anything. When
people are absent-minded they are geuer-
ally supposed to be lost in thou ght, and So
oiety has no use for people who think.
Why is it that no one thinks about
holding charity ball in Pittsburg? Such
an entertainment has just been given in
Toledo, Ohio, with unqualified success
1t has been the social event of the season,
and the participants have not only been
enabled to spend a delightful evening,
but have enjoyed the knowledge that they
have contributed a large sum toward re-
lieving the necessities of those to whom
balls and social pleasures generally are
unknown. We have great many charities
in this city, but there is always room for
entertainments that will produce good
sum for some specific purpose. Society
viii GO - balls many times in the course
OF the season, and it would be as we'll
that at least one of these fashionable
affairs should be of benefit to the poor of
tile city. At all the charity balls held so
far, including one in the Pittsburg Club
Theater some years ago, the arrangements
have been as nearly perfect as possible.
The dresses of the ladies have been dreams
OF beauty, and the appointments generally
have been such as live in the memory of
all the guests, used as they may be to the
elegancies OF lite. The charity ball project
has been the subject of considerable dis
cussion among Pittsburg's Four Hundred
during the past week, and it 10 possible
that there may be one before the winter
is over.

riage of Miss Jennie Sarah Artburs,
