Still on the Wine-Lady Henry Somer-

Writes Pleasant Letter From Europe.
THE quartet choir of the Williamsburg
Presbyterian Church, has a vacancy for q
contralto singer, through the resignation of
Miss Edna Jack, who has accepted a posi-
tion as singer in Southside church. Miss
Jack is parted with, with great reluctance,
and, indeed the church at Williamsburg
would have gladly equaled the offer made
their singer by the Southside church, had it
known of her intention to leave, before she
had signed the new contract. She
is considered to have very
sweet contralto voice, and by reason
of singing was great favorite in Wilkins
burg. Before the changes the choir WAS
composed as follows: Mrs. Balfe, soprano;
Mr.. Frederick, tenor; Mr.. James Hetzel,
basso: Miss Jack, contralto and Mrs II. H.
Wallace. organist. Mr.. Fuller is now fulfill
ing Mr.. Hetzers duties, Mr.. Hetzel being in
Europe with his father and family.
CREssoN SPRINGS has introduced the
new "Crab Claw Grip" which is raging in
the East. 1t is a new method Of waltzing,
though adapted equally well to the polka
or gavotte, in which the man places his
right arm around his partner, putting his
hand as high as possible between her shout
ders. She elevates her LETT arm, until it is
at right angles with her body, and then
bends her hand until the fingers rest on her
shoulders, instead of on her partners arm.
With his lett hand he takes her right wrist,
her right arm being in a similar position to
her left and holds it nearly under her chin
with her hand Tapping. This method OF
dancing might be described as composite
of the various fads in handshaking that
have shaken our social foundations from
the Four Hundred OF New York to that of
San Francisco.
A PLEASANT letter from Bavaria, written
by MIR. James Hetzel, of the Western Uni
versity, was received yesterday by Mrs. II.
ID. wallace, the summer tenant of the Het-
eel house, at Williamsburg. HetzeI says that
our veteran" artist is reveling in every
thing musical, and going wherever there is
q chance to hear opera. In a short time the
family were to be in Paris, where they ex-
pected to meet Chancellor Holland and
Prof. Henri Rollin Parker, of the Western
University, both of whom are staying ut the
Hotel de L PArcude, and one at least, Mr..
Parker, will sail for America this coming
saturday. The HetZsels will sail from a
German port about September and expect
to be in Pittsburg September 2s.
1T will be of interest in temperance cir
cles to hear that Miss Frances E. Willard is
to spend few weeks in England as the
quest of Lady Henry Somerset. Further,
Lady Henry Somerset emulates Her Majesty
the Queen in her gracious hospitality.
When great personages visit Windsor the
royal carriage meets them at the station.
Lady Henry's carriage is rather different.
but equally agreeable, for the entire trip is
maze at Lady Henrys request and at her
expense.
Judge Arnold, of Philadelphia, Is con-
sidered q most popular man at Cresson
Springs. He spends the entire summer

other pleasure for game at cards, though
like many other enthusiasts he never wagers
anything.
A close competitor in devotion to euchre
Is Manager Dunham, of the Mountain House.
